The Last "Honesty Thread" of 2007.

[Bob Schlapowitz]

Oh, I forgot one. Again I apologize if this angers anyone.

I honestly do not understand the thought process of people who claim to hate wrestlers like Hogan or HHH (for example) for "politicking", yet will turn around and say that regardless of what he did, they don't hate Chris Benoit. I'm sorry but if you honestly think playing backstage politics is worse than murdering your family, than stop posting here, and go get help. Stop living in denial.

I agree with this comment wholeheartedly.

I think this is the right thread to admit this...I have never watched wrestling

- I thought Shad from Cryme Tyme was a future WWE champion.
- If Hogan comes back, I'm buying that PPV.
- Trevor Murdoch would look funny dressed as Vader for Halloween
- I have a strong belief that Michael Cole and Todd Grisham keep eachother 'entertained' on the road.
- JR and King are mediocre now which is dissapointing because they used to be an AWESOME team.
- It's took many, many years but I have finally started to think Hardcore Holly is pretty cool.
- I'd rather have the cruiserweights on SD integrated into the midcard/US division, the CW division had lots of talent but the division hadn't been booked as interesting since the original Lightweight tournument that TAKA won.
- I think every current diva is hot (I didn't like Queen Sharnell but she gone)

[J is Justice]

- I loved E and C, but didn't really like Christian, which doesn't make any sence, really

[Deleted]

- I like the name 'WWE', probably even more so than WWF. I just think it sounds better.

- I think SmackDown is one of the most boring shows on television. The stuff that happens on there doesn't have any sort of impact or importance, and I constantly find myself struggling to stay awake. JBL is the only person who keeps me interested. I think things might improve slightly with the ECW involvement, though.

- I'm fed up of damn 'monster' heels. I have to skip through all of Khali's, Viscera's and Mark Henry's matches. They just bore me, especially when EVERY storyline revolves around them beating up someone who's smaller and then the smaller guy has to overcome the odds. I'm also not a fan of the Umaga gimmick, I can't take it seriously.

- Elijah Burke is underrated. I honestly think he could end up being a huge star for WWE. Same with MVP, but they're pushing him so it's all cool.

- Undertaker needs to freshen up his character. I like him, but I wish his character would be made more believable. Every time he does one of his 'mind games', like shooting lightning or whatever ... I laugh.

Whenever I see a bearded wrestler with dark hair, I always mistake him for another wrestler who had a similar look.

Typhoon = Godwins = Joey Abs = Dr. Death = Bobby Roode.

[Just "Dan" is Fine, Thank You]

I am forever indebted to ECW for almost everything they have done, and I can't wait until they salvage Shelton Benjamin's career.

[ChitownKnight]

Batistas not that bad, but i still like to make fun of him

[Kyle]

-- Eric Bischoff is far more entertaining than Vince McMahon

-- WCW always had a better roster of wrestlers who could put on better matches, but the WWF always had the far more entertaining story lines.

-- Chris Jericho isn't that big of a deal to me. I'd rather see NEW stars be created than old ones come back.

-- TNA is shooting them self in the foot by signing every former WWE guy at once. Kurt Angle ruined TNA for me.

-- I wish The Big Boss Man was still alive, because he'd be just about due for another comeback.

and finally...

-- THE WWE NEEDS A STABLE OF WRESTLERS DRESSED UP AS THE 'BASEBALL FURIES' FROM THE FILM, 'THE WARRIORS' ... and they need it NOW ! :8

if only they pushed him...

[thealrightkali]

This is my first post since I just joined last week so I though this would be the best place for a first post. So here we go... Honestly:

~ I can't get enough Finlay, aside from Edge I think he's the best heel WWE has and he should get a World Title reign, even if it's a short one.

~ The New Age Outlaws were my fav team when I was a kid, and I was really happy when Billy Gunn won the king of the ring even though it didn't really take him anywhere.

~ I may have loved the New Age Outlaws but not so much the Vodoo Kin Mafia.

~ I think CM Punk will be the face of the WWE within 3 years

~ MVP, Elijiah Burke, and Kennedy should be main eventers.

~ WWE really needs to bring Tag Teams back to being important.

[MGH]

-I LOVED this year's No Mercy. Stuff was going on left and right that you didn't see coming, there were good matches, and it just felt different. Closest PPV to the Attitude Era I've seen in a long time.

-I've been rewatching Raws from 97-99 again over the past few months. Easily, and by a mile, the most entertaining time in wrestling. A great show today is mediocre in comparison. In part because of the talent difference, more so based on the horrible story lines these days.

-My biggest disappointment of the year may be never getting to see Benoit vs Punk.

-John Morrison has phenomenal potential and awesome in ring skills even if he is a little sloppy (which is fine, he's still learning), but I never see him making it big unless he gets a charisma bypass.

-When Shawn Michaels retires I think he'd be a great color guy. Maybe not on JBL's level, but in 98 when he was briefly given time on the headsets with JR and King, and he actually wasn't putting himself over, he was really good at getting others and storylines over.

-ROH's PPVs have whooped WWE's offerings this year. Only Wrestlemania and MAYBE (but probably not) No Mercy have topped Driven. Not to mention they're that much better, for that much cheaper.

-I say it everytime, but I'll say it again, Edge ... John Cena .... two man power trip. I want it.

[Munkie91087]

I enjoy Mark Henry and think he should be given a title run

I miss John Cena

Chris Jericho is my favorite wrestler possibly ever

I enjoy the Hornswaggle stuff

I see Jeff and Matt Hardy as future main eventers

I mark for Mick Foley and wouldn't be against a return

Dude, me too!

[normcoleman]

I miss the Little Bastard (not Hornswoggle)

I didn't have a vigil when Ariel was released

Eric Bischoff was the best GM/on air authority other than Dr. of Hardcore

I hate the BCS

I honestly believe that people who whine about burials have never held a real job in their lives. I could be mistaken here, but one of the purposes of a job, whatever it may be, is to make yourself look good so you can remain employed, not to make the other guy look good.

Not commenting on people whining about burials, but your general point here is way off. The purposes of a job is to get your WORK DONE. And "work" for entertaniers, is to ENTERTAIN. In a wrestling match, entertainment depends on cooperation, since that's the only way wrestling matches can exist.
Similarly, if a guy buries another guy, that's one fewer person who can potentially add to the entertainment of the overall product. It's the exact opposite of what you're saying.


Anyway, here's mine:



--I like Candice Michelle's entrance music.

--I hate chopping. I especially hate going "woo!" after someone chops.

--It is not interesting to see wrestlers hit one another as hard as they can. It is, in fact, bad for the business, for the audience, and (obviously) for the wrestlers themselves for that to become a popular style. It is also an incredibly cheap and talentless way to get pops, and is no better than random flippy spotfests.

--Vince's fake death angle would have been really good, if it had been given time to turn into a real mystery and had involved lots of people.

--Other storylines I liked: Fake Diesel and Razor, WWE NWO, Badass Undertaker hardcore champion, The Corporate Ministry.

--Wrestling is awesome because it is fake. Period.

--In perfect world, all wresling woul be either thinky mat-based stuff or ridiculously stylized lucha. Nothing in between.

-I think the Undertaker is the greatest wrestler of all-time. Yes, even above Hogan, Austin, and The Rock. The entrance, the character transformations, in-ring ability, size, atheletic ability, mic skills, longevity, phsychology, and drawing power, Taker is the real total package. Best ever. There's a reason why they call him "The Phenom".

-Kane does nothing for me anymore. I remember when he was intimidating, now he loses every match he's in.

-I don't understand why Cena is hated like he is. I think he's an absolute professional and a class act. Behind Taker, he's my favorite current WWE wrestler.

-Batista's growing on me. I don't think I'll ever mark for him, but he's not as bad as he's been portrayed.

-Orton's character is boring. Not a bad in-ring performer, but when he speaks he says nothing to keep my interest.

-I think Smackdown is better than Raw.

-I always thought HBK was better than Bret Hart. Yes, Shawn was a crybaby and an a**. but his matches were much more entertaining to me. HBK > Bret Hart in my eyes.

-I think Vickie Guerrero looks like a gopher (just being honest)

[J is Justice]

- I also find Orton boring

- I loved Mr. Ass ;D

- I think the Bret vs Perfect Summerslam match is awful. But their KOTR match is my favourite of all time

[Sickfit, King Of The Fits]

- I would not be surprised if Kane left the company before 2008

- Jericho returning to the WWE was the best thing that has happened since Bret Hart was inducted into the Hall Of Fame

- While I hate how WWE shoves him down our throats, I feel bad for John Cena getting injured....

- Batista bores me more often than Orton

- Even though Beth Phoenx has shown opposition, Mickie James will STILL be mine forever.
