John Morrison is the Janetty of Miz and Morrison.
I miss chairshots to head,bikini contests.
I'm tired of workrate fest's in NXT and prefer Hardcore matches
I miss Eugene
The women should not have main evented Wrestle mania
Ruthless Aggression Era equally as good as Attitude Era.
I enjoyed Raw 2007 terrible roster with the likes of Jim Duggan and Super Crazy,Highlanders,Snitsky,Kenny Dykstra,Bob Holly.

I didn’t think Wade Barrett was ready to be world champ during the Nexus run, and I was okay with Miz getting the belt instead. I think they would have given him the title during his Nexus run, but his matches against Orton were just next level bad.

Embrace The Hate was hilarious from beginning to end. It was dumb, insane, made no sense, didn’t elevate anyone, and I loved it.
I liked Edge’s “war on stupid” gimmick. And his goofy flirting with Vickie. And the time he kidnapped Paul Bearer and Kane hunted him down had me on the floor dying.

- I'm a fan of Maria AND Mike Kanellis. - No, Taker/Shawn should NOT have main-evented The 25th Anniversary Of WrestleMania. It was a great match, yes, but it didn't quite contain the big marquee sizzle that a WM main event usually has & needs. It was just another Undertaker v. Shawn Michaels match, no titles or careers on the line either. (I'm fine with the rematch main-eventing WM26, it was a big hyped rematch with much more at stake.) In a perfect world, Trips/Orton would've main-evented but would've actually been a good match. As it were, I'd pick the Cena/Show/Edge triple threat to main event WM25. As a match it was just alright, but certainly better than Trips/Orton that night & why not give John Cena another WrestleMania main event victory to add to his accolades.

Ric Flair is not even in the top 5 greatest wrestlers
Survivor Series is still important
Mr.Kennedy was great.
The Usos using ebonics bugs me
Short guys (under 6 ft)should not be main eventers
Enzo Amore should be given another run
Alexa Bliss comes across as a Trish knockoff at times
Kofi Kingston is not WWE title material

I don't have any love for men's wrestling in WWE these days. Matches has to have these weird ass stipulations or I watch 'em only with one eye. This doesn't happen over AEW side, where I' m In awe of every other dude and follow the stories of main matches all thru show. > Women's wrestling is interesting in every single way. Yo me too. Even if a men's match has one of my favorites, like a Cole, Bryan, or Ciampa in it, I'm still feeling like I'm waiting for Rhea Ripley, Asuka, Io Shirai or Charlotte to have their match. I just feel like the women's division has better personalities, better storytelling and all around better wrestling these days.

I've been a mark for Sheamus ever since he threatened to kick Gary Neville's head in at a house show some years ago. That match bar fight versus Jeff was one of the highlights of SmackDown this year. Well dressed Sheamus is a treat.

I do not know anything about cars but Zack Boy changing the tires so slowly was funny as heck! E: Did not Bearer die in freezer Tomb Raider buttler style too???

The first Undertaker/HBK WM match f***ing blew chunks. I don't dislike it, but I think it's kinda overhyped. It's not the best Wrestlemania match ever, and it's not even Taker and HBK's best match together. To me, that accolade belongs to their Hell in a Cell match.

Another one that could be shameful: I liked the Ground Zero HBK/Taker match over the Hell In A Cell.

I kinda liked Adam Bomb and Kerwin White. On that note, I didn't like Eddie's final face turn. Felt unearned. I don't really know if Eddie had ever fully turned back face, he was in the process of it but it also felt like it was setting up for a swerve on Batista

Seth Rollins turning babyface simply by returning from his knee injury in 2016 would’ve been just as unearned and undeserved as the face turn he actually did get, regardless of how much people wanted to cheer for him.

I’m generally ok with most of the freaky Fiend stuff. He isn’t going to give you workrate classics, and if he were in a company like NJPW or Noah then his act would have to be significantly changed. But I don’t mind that sort of character running around WWE, a place where they tend to be more on the outlandish side.
I liked Adam Rose.
I loved CM Punk’s long haired traditional babyface run from 2006-2009.
Some guest host spots I thought were pretty fun. The Osbournes (Ozzy had no idea what was happening but he was clearly enjoying it), Wayne Brady getting himself killed, Jon Heder, the Muppets and Snoop Dogg were enjoyable.

I think the Vince vs God angle was hilarious, and I still watch the promos and match for Backlash 2006 to this day and laugh my ass off.

I think the most harmful trend in wrestling in regards to it's popularity is "Longer Matches with more big spots" makes a good match.
I can count on 1 hand the amount of 20+ minute matches that I give a shit about and can pay attention too. And I'm not counting Royal Rumbles, they are kinda their own monster.

John Morrison is the Janetty of Miz and Morrison. That's barely an opinion, let alone a shameful one. Say what you will about his look or ability, in terms of accolades, Miz has blown Morrison out of the water. I don't think anyone would deny he's the breakout star of the two, not even Morrison himself.

I hate that they turned Dakota Kai and Sami Zayn heel, as well as Becky's turn into the Man. They were natural likeable babyfaces that didn't feel forced or like total goofs and their characters have been ruined in my eyes since, even if they got popular from it. Dakota in particular as a wrestler has got to have good matches, but her character has taken a complete nose dive into being a generic heel with a bodyguard and they completely gave up on two potential longterm storylines with her in not having her finally getting redemption with a win against Shayna after the two years of bullying and then rushing her storyline with Tegan by having her turn heel on her within Tegan's first month on NXT instead of keeping them as a team for a while, which made things harder for Tegan to develop her character in the process.
Randy Orton's rare moments as an eccentric babyface such as the Miracle on 24th Street match with Otunga and his brief storyline with Brock are better than any of his heel character work.
I think Nikki Cross's insane character in NXT was a better way of handling a character like Dean Ambrose was, in that she was capable of having good matches, could believably be pushed at any point, and was well protected in her losses due to her indestructability, plus I thought it was a fun gimmick.
Kane is one of the best tag team guys in his whole run, every time he's been in has been a ton of fun, especially as a face. 2002 half masked Kane ruled.
