Two more: -I don't miss Triple H one bit and I'm not looking forward to his return -I think Batista had the best main-event buildup in the past few years and his first run was decent, although it lost it's steam towards the end

~Khali is not a five star wrestler. That doesn't stop me from cheering every Brain Chop I see. I hear that. I seriously LOVE the brain chop! I laugh out loud every time he does it and yell out BRAIN CHOP at the TV set.

I like Hardcore Holly, partly because I find it amusing that most of the time he acts like an ass it backfires and he gets injured.
I was legit scared of Kane when he debuted, but in my defense I was rather young at the time.

I think Deuce and Domino's entrance music is the best in the WWE for about 5 years.

I guess I have some more that I need to get off my chest. Stuff I have been holding onto for a long time that needs to come out before it's too late.
I liked the Invasion Angle.
I think the Mcmahon-Helmsy Era was entertaining.
I can't get behind Jeff Hardy as much as I used to because he once lost his passion for the wrestling business.
I marked for Goldberg when he came to the WWE.
My favorite member of the NWO was Kevin Nash..In fact I am still a fan of Kevin Nash.
I am not a Stevie Richards fan. I am just totally indifferent to him.
I felt betrayed when Brock Lesnar left the WWE, because I was such a big fan of him.
I lost all respect for Lita after the Edge/Matt/Lita triangle.
I actually became a big Edge fan after that whole Edge/Matt/Lita triangle became a storyline eventhough it was at the expense of Matt Hardy. Edge just entertained the hell out of me.
The Undertaker abducting Stephanie angle that lead to the Higher Power angle is the storyline that got me watching WWF religiously.
I am such a big wrestling fan that my family worries about me. Sometimes it affects my relationships.

Well this is what Confession must feel like in the catholic church...I feel relieved now.

In no particular order, and triggered by some of the other posts here...
~I think the Miz is a great heel ~I'll mark for a decent worker with charisma before a bland guy with "workrate." ~I don't think Ashley or Melina look "manly," but I do think Beth Phoenix and Trinity do ~One of my favorite tag teams of all-time is Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne ~Randy Orton seems like a huge dickhole, but that just makes him a better heel to me ~Same for Hardcore Holly, which is why I could never buy him as a face ~The Guerrero/Benoit match at the first One Night Stand PPV was lousy; Awesome/Tanaka stole the show ~The Dudley Boyz were already stale when they came to the WWF; I have no interest at all in seeing them in TNA ~Jeff Jarrett was never charismatic enough to be a main eventer ~I mark for undefeated streaks, even though I know they will usually end poorly.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll have more later.

More confessions:
When Ric Flair had a "heart attack" in a WCW ring, I believed it to be 100% real and almost cried. I was 15 or 16 at the time and should have known better.
I mark for Umaga.
I was genuinely sad when the Spirit Squad disappeared.
As much as I like Matt Hardy, I wonder why in the hell everyone wants him to be WHC.
I admit I'm recent to ROH, but the three times I saw him live, I didn't get what the big deal was with Colt Cabana and was practically bored to tears watching him.
I secretly get angry whenever I see Ted Dibiase on my TV because he was never given the WWF World Title.

Dude, don't worry. The Invasion angle is what hooked me on wrestling in 2003. I'd rent 2001 DVDs from Blockbuster, and I'd neurotically write down the results on paper. It was such a habit for about a half a year.

As much as I like the WWE I hope someone with money and creativity comes along and flogs them for a while so it can reinvigorate Vince a little.

I, too, am mystified by Colt Cabana. I love ROH, and while Cabana is a good wrestler, I just don't find him terribly entertaining.

I think poor booking and not lack of talent is what's holding WWE back from greatness, today.
I don't see what's so bad about Vince Russo.
I hate when some fans adore it when a wrestler uses in ring psychology and focuses on a particular part of the body, usually resulting various restholds and dull moves which kills the crowd. It. Is. Not. Entertaining.
Jeff Hardy is the coolest guy ever.
Kurt Angle's theme would make me proud to be an American.
Candice has a massive forehead.
I wish Mick Foley will realise that to the Marks, he's just a guy who loses all the time and takes some punishment along the way, and accept that if anyone beats him it doesn't mean smurf anymore.

Oh and one last thing. I think Randy Orton is an amazing heel. I also think he is one of the most well-rounded Pro Wrestlers in the WWE with his in-ring skills and Promo ability.

Let me just make it clear -- Cabana put on three good matches when I saw him live, and I could tell that he had earned a lot of the crowd's love through years of hard work, but coming in so late to his career, I seriously sat there...applauded his goodbye speech in Edison...and wondered how he ever got over to the extent he did.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

I'm also a huge Matt Hardy mark. I date a Jeff Hardy mark.
Speaking of my girlfriend, she has Hasbro Bushwhackers and a Galoob Sting. My first figure ever was a BCA, Nation-era Mark Henry.
I wish Lance Storm got more famous in professional wrestling, I always dug his style
I pray that WWE lets Colt Cabana be Colt Cabana. Or Matt Classic.
My first exposure to WWE ever since my parents and grandparents put a moratorium (I think I'm using the right word...) on it was the first Inferno match between Kane and Undertaker. Come on, you see a guy jump over fire and you're hooked, no matter what it is.
Only pre-bankruptcy WCW exposure was a Nitro, started with an nWo in-ring promo about how they were going to wait until Scott Steiner got there to do anything. Kinda rolled my eyes, got set in for what turned out to be the best wrestling match I had seen up until that point, a two-segment match between a young man named Michael Modest and the man who would be the Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels. I gave up on WCW when, in the middle of the match, Scott Steiner decided he wanted mic time and "broke their legs" by giving them each dragon screws with a lead pipe under their knee.
First exposure to ECW was a print ad in a PWI. One of the pictures was of an obese guy covered in what appeared to be pudding. I was very confused, and the company was gone within a couple of years of that. Turns out it was Dreamer with his head drawn back to his neck (so his double-chin was really obvious) and covered in BLOOD, but censorship meant they had to make it brownish-black.
I have a campaign going to get all Buff Bagwell haters (and anyone who enjoys John Ritter's work) to watch Terror Tract.
I also am campaigning to get Coach blurting out "I LOVE THE PACKAGE!" to become the next "Jerking Edge off...the ladder!" If only I knew someone who could rip videos from Heat...
I have Scotty Too Hotty's signature on my wall. Right next to Toby Keith, Jimmy Snuka, Honky Tonk Man (who signed it on Hulk Hogan's picture of them both -_-), Bill Engvall and BB King

My first ECW exposure was also from the PWI Ads, and my first reaction was "What the f*** is that one?"

This one just dawned on me...and it needs to be said:
For reasons that I still can't fully explain, I was...and still am...a Lash Leroux mark. If he were to appear on Raw next week in a suprise appearance, I'd probably piss myself from excitement, and I know I'd be one of maybe two people in the country to do so.
