Got into wrestling around Survivor Series 1999, and didn't stop watching regularly until mid-2008. After that I only really kept up with Smackdown occasionally, then stopped altogether after Jeff Hardy (my favorite)left. I haven't sat down and watched a full episode of Raw or Smackdown since that time, or even seen a PPV.
I keep up solely by reading online, or watching a clip on YouTube here or there. I've been trying to get into the current product and watch a full show, but the idea of having to see The McMahons/HHH again on TV regularly is making me very hesitant. I get my wrestling fix by watching old-school wrestling online.

Stephanie McMahon. Hasn't been remotely useful or interesting since she was the spoiled "Daddy's Girl"

Not at all, I've always thought Sable was beautiful. So what if she looked a little older, I thought it was nice that they did have older women in the company then, as opposed them being as obsessed with 20-somethings as they seem to be. Debra was okay, but she did only really look good in her business suits. On the flip side, I never got the appeal of Sunny's looks at all.

I use to be a fan of Maria's, until she started running her mouth after she got released. Maria does always give off this vibe that she thinks she was WAY more important than she really was in WWE. Kinda reminds me of Sunny in that way. I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if I were the Bellas. Maria got what she deserved.

Definitely. I've tried not to bash her too hard since she's seems like a nice person IRL, but that segment last night was painful. I had to mute my TV. She adds nothing to the show, and the sooner she's gone, the better.

I just thought it was a little weird, especially with her "independent woman/feminist" speech about how women shouldn't tear each other down. Where was this standup attitude when Mickie was being called "Piggie James" by Laycool? That was way more degrading than what AJ did. This is also the same on-screen character who twice slapped her own mother on national TV. I won't go as far to say that she's "burying" anyone, but I personally haven't had any interest in Stephanie in a LONG time, and I'm not holding my breath that any good will come of this for any of the Divas.

I voted No, but I know I care because I still watch TNA primarily for the Knockouts (even if the division isn't at all what it once was.) And I'd like to see them put on entertaining matches and not embarrass themselves in the ring, something Velvet seems incapable of doing lately. I couldn't care less how "hot" she is, I would just like to watch a match with her in it and not cringe.

Out of this list, Y2J, but pre-2002 HBK and Jeff Hardy during his 1st WWE run are on my list too.

Jeff Hardy- Been dismissed by some as a "spot monkey",and yes he's made mistakes but I've always loved the guy and all of his matches.
Chyna- 2nd only to Team Xtreme Lita as my favorite female back in 2000.
Sable-I was a huge fan of hers, but I don't think too many people like her. I've even read people making fun of her looks, which find I weird. I always thought Sable in her prime was beautiful (better looking than Sunny IMO)

I hate this WrestleMania. I remember vividly being furious at Cena beating HBK in the main event. It's still to this day the angriest I've ever gotten at the outcome of a wrestling match. Ashley/Melina was terrible, Kane/Khali sucked, I had no interest in anything ECW related so the tag match did nothing for me, and the only decent matches were MITB and Batista/Undertaker. WrestleMania 22 was MUCH better IMO.

-A wrestler's attitude, or how someone acts or previously behaved backstage/behind the scenes should be of NO concern to fans. As long as they're entertaining and doing their job in the ring, and as long as it has no big effect on what goes on on-screen, it shouldn't matter or be held against them.
-Sable was/is awesome
-WrestleMania X was quite boring.
-WrestleMania 23 was awful
-Jericho hasn't been entertaining since he left WWE the first time in 2005
-The Divas roster isn't that bad. The Divas roster in 1999-2000 was worse. Debra and The Kat were women's champions.

-Sunny in her prime was nothing more than a more vocal, annoying, blonde-haired version of Miss Elizabeth, without the class. She had no memorable iconic moments (unless you count her getting 'slopped' by the Godwins),and her only real claim to fame is being the most downloaded woman on the Internet. 17 years ago. Terribly overrated IMO. -Hated Undertaker's Biker gimmick from start to finish. -I actually REALLY like WrestleMania 9. -Never have, and never will get the obsession with AJ. -Didn't have a problem with Orton beating Christian for the title, I've always been "Meh" on Christian, anyway.

2007, hands down for me. -My least favorite WrestleMania EVER in 23 -Divas like Ashley and Candice Michelle in women's title contention, while Mickie James got pushed aside -Hornswoggle being named as Vince's son (Really? That was their best alternative to Kennedy??) -The Great Khali -Bland Bobby Lashley -Numerous wrestler deaths and injuries, and of course, the whole Benoit disaster
By 2009, I had completely given up on WWE and stopped watching full-time, so I can't really judge on that year

I always hear about these years being bad, but which year was worse to sit through?

Maryse-quite possibly THE most generic blonde I've ever seen in my life. A lot of Diva forums and sites I frequent said she has such great charisma and personality, not sure how much charisma is in a "hair flip", never mind she was "eh" in the ring..
AJ- Really don't get this one.
Stephanie McMahon- She's Vince with a bad boob job and an irritating voice.

-Got choked up during Vickie's speech for Eddie's HOF induction -Came VERY close to crying tears of anger when Cena beat HBK at WM 23, still the angriest I've ever been following a wrestling match. -Anything involving Macho Man and Elizabeth (WM 7, her pre-taped apology on Nitro and his reaction afterwards)

WrestleMania 16. It was the first PPV I ever saw, but I don't remember much about the entire show. All I remember is the end of the main event where Stephanie gets Rock Bottomed. Other than that, the show was a blur.
