Hardcore Holly is my favourite worker of all time. I think a little part of me just died.

JEFF JARRETT IS A MID-CARDER, NOT A MAIN EVENTER!! [/b][/i][/u] [/quote] Thank you. I've felt this way since he first won the WCW Title.

I don't hate any wrestlers, but I can (and do) dislike the way they're booked. Well said...but I honestly hate Batista

Everything I've ever heard or read about Batista backstage and as a person, though makes him out to be an asshole.

-No matter how many times anyone attempts to explain why he is more than, in my opinion, an embodiment of the whiny fratboy douchebag archetype who combines restholds, I will never "get" Randy Orton. Mostly because I believe there is nothing to "get" about Randy Orton other than that his charisma seems to circulate around throwing temper tantrums rivaling my 16-year-old brother (who currently has the maturity level of a 10-year-old). The RKO is nice, I will admit. His running and punting people in the head? Not as nice. William Regal hit many many people with a much fiercer-looking knee to the GODDAMN TEMPLE and they never did a concussion angle with him. Why Randy? What makes him so special? NOTHING, in my eyes.
-Undertaker's streak should never be broken. Especially since the WWE would have somebody who doesn't need that kind of rub do so, like Edge or something (who has his little fake undefeated streak going)
- I admit I did have serious problems with Edge from 2005 to late 2006. But I turned around on him after Lita left and he started being able to wrestle more based on his skill rather than the "wait for my valet to trip them up and then win" methodology that has a tendency to hamper King Booker's in-ring work too.
-Speaking of valets, there are more ways to have them work WWE, than ending every match with "Valet interferes and heel wins". I know heels shouldn't win cleanly but hey, they can hook the tights or grab the ropes or whatever. The fact that valets get attached to people who are GOOD in the ring also distresses me since they don't seem to use their talent more when they have a valet with them.
-I never really thought Cryme Tyme to be WWE's latest racist jab. They were simply a parody of the whole "thug/gangsta rap" culture. Sure there was the point where they were kind of hard to watch in some of their skits but now they've really came into their own and gotten the crowd behind them.
-Matt Hardy vs. MVP is the only feud keeping SmackDown watchable at this point.
-Deuce & Domino: Great Gimmick in theory that seems to have trouble getting over with the crowd, though I guess now that they've made them actually do things on CAMERA (instead of those WWE.com things) they can get some heat.
-Michael Cole gets crapped on a lot more than I believe he really deserves. We're getting pissed off at a guy who was a news reporter, covering things that already happened instead of things that are happening right now.
-Also, Michael Cole & JBL are the best commentary team in the last 10 years.
-I've laughed at some of the dumbest things in this Illegitimate Child storyline, and frankly I don't regret it at all.
-It's so overplayed but Ron Simmons saying "DAMN" will never not make me laugh.

like Edge or something (who has his little fake undefeated streak going) Edge's undefeated streaked ended at Mania 23 when he lost the MITB match.

- I hated everything about the Attitude Era, except The Rock, who is my 2nd or 3rd favorite wrestler of all-time (neck and neck with Savage....#1 being Hogan).
- I don't blame any wrestler for backstage politics, whether it's Hogan, HHH, or whoever. These guys are in a demanding business with no health or retirement benefits. Why should they care about anyone but themselves?
- I hate teenagers talking about 80's wrestling, unless they really do their homework and know about the psychology and fan expectations during that period.

- I didn't care for Kurt Angle's character in the latter part of his WWF/E run. I preferred the faux-goody two shoes heel.
- I never got why Bret Hart got so much flak for his pink attire. That's the stereotypical color of a "heart" (red if you're in biology class), so I always assumed it was just an ongoing pun.
- Owen Hart should have had at least one world title run. As a heel, of course.
- Steve Austin was one of my favorite workers, even after the neck injury.
- I hunger for two big promotions going at each other like back when I first got into wrestling, so I root for ROH and TNA to succeed and grow even when they make dumb decisions. It keeps Vince sharp.
- I think Hogan can put entertaining matches together and he deserves the accolades that he's gotten, backstage allegations or not.

In 20+ years as a fan, I only considered completely giving up on a program when Big Show was ECW champion.

- 1993 was my favourite WWF year - I hate Shawn Michaels so much I love him (yeah, I know it doesn't make sence) - Kurt Angle is the most overrated wrestler ever - Child killing scum bored me - I find the Bret/Perfect match at Summerslam really bad and can't understand why everyone loves it, but their KOTR match is probably my favourite math of all time - Wrestlemania IX was great That's it for now

1. I don't care for matt hardy. Never have. 2. I hated Hogan for years, and jumped out of my chair and cheered when he turned heel back in 96. 3. I hope and dream for a "one last run" for Flair. Preferably w/ the WHC. 4. I wish that Steve Austin could come back full time. 5. I don't like Kane. 6. I think its dumb when the undertaker has super powers. That's probably it for now.

- orton, cena, batista, and lashley will be on top of the business for the next ten years.
- guys like matt hardy, jeff hardy, mvp, & burke will never draw as main eventers. as good as they may be, the don't have it all, and are not believable as champion.
- anyone that is the right size can main event with the proper build-up and character. if they suck on the mic, get them a manager. mp

-First and foremost, I will mention this, to the chagrin of almost everyone else here: I AM LOVING KHALI AS CHAMP. Period.
-DX is a disappointed face turned sideways.
-I don't like Chris Jericho. At all.
-The same can be said for ROH as a whole. The only wrestling company I'm going out of my way to find and watch, is FMW, or NJPW.
-The same thing said above about ROH can be said about TNA, even if TNA is on Spike TV. Currently, I think that TNA is the worst garbage around in a long time, to the point where I long for WWE circa 2003 or 1995 instead of TNA's drivel. I blame the owners of the company, as they could turn it around anytime, but they don't. The first step: fire Don West. Thank you. ;D
-Get rid of Jillian Hall's gimmick and start over. We get the point that you're trying to take a shot at Hulk Hogan and his daughter. Please. IT'S ANNOYING ON A MOLECULAR LEVEL.
-Lastly, I don't hate Cena. He respects the business, and his attitude towards his fans, and the people who hate him, is awesome. He gets through it and it doesn't bother him, and his haters hate that even more. It's brilliant. He is definitely a worthy champion and needs at least another year with the belt.

- Pro wrestling is not Serious Business. I beg to differ. Pro wrestling is on the intarwebz, and the intarwebz is serious business, therefore pro wrestling is serious business...right? It's serious business...for Vince, who's making boatloads of cash off of it.
