5 Favorite Things in Wrestling Today

[tartsonawire]

In your opinion, what are 5 of the greatest things going on in wrestling today? A certain wrestler? An entrance theme? A fed as a whole? A feud? An angle? Awesome ring gear? Please discuss!

My list (no particular order):

1. HBK/Kennedy feud - My own personal bias, here. My two favorite wrestlers are feuding....I'm happy no matter who comes out on top

2. DVD realeases - An awesome HBK set...WSX...World Class...Lots of great DVD's out/coming out soon. Thank God for NetFlix!

3. Black Machismo - I LOVE this gimmick. Jay Lethal has his Randy Savage impersonation down insanely well. Always makes me smile.

4. John Morrison's Entrance - Slow mo and fans...need I say more?

5. General goofiness - Raw's "Looney Tune-esque" skits, Santino busting on "Jerry Stupid Lawler"...these are some of the things that keep me tuned in.

KEvin Nash's nut grab

[imnotbooked]

1. ROH: No better product goin'...

2. DVD's: My #2 as well. There is probably $100 worth of good DVD's comin' out every few weeks. Between the ROH shows and the great shoots, not to mention other indys, it's a crazy time.

3. AotF: I know, I may be the last fan left that is so high on 'em, but with Jacobs just beatin' Danielson, and the addition of the smokin' hot Allison Wonderland, hopefully they are gonna be around for a long time in ROH...

4. Larry Sweeney: Bobby Heenan incarnate...

5. CHIKARA: as a whole, a great alternative to the more serious promotions...

3. Chikara's 2007 season.

4. Claudio Castagnoli's AMAZING 2007. My Wrestler of the Year, hands down.

[lucaspunkari]

1) Ring of Honor - It renewed my faith in wrestling

2) Bryan Danielson - The Best In The World, love every match he's in

3) KONG! - It's KONG!

4) The Murder City Machine Guns - Best Tag Team going, well besides those Briscoes, but I
believe in Alexander Shelley and Christopher Sabin

5) The Indies - Always great fun, and enjoyable, be it Shimmer, PWG, Chikara or a local fed.

[Panda Bear]

1. ROH, Chikara and PWG: for keeping my love in teh wrestling.

2. Mike Quackenbush: after watching TPI, how can he not be Wrestler of the Year 2007? Screw Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and even Bret Hart, he is a true hero.

3. Chris Hero: always great in the ring and hilarious on the mic, love his little showboating skillz.

4. Chuck Taylor, Claudio Castagnoli, Nate Webb, El Generico, Human Tornado, Kevin Steen, Eddie Kingston, Davey Richards, Nigel Mcguiness, Bryan Danielson, Jimmy Jacobs, TIM DONST~, Lince Dorado, Sara Del Ray, Mischief, Cheerleader Melissa and every other great talent in the Indy scene.

5. TNA: for making me laugh night in and night out, and not in a good way.

[Overly large testicles]

1. Bryan Danielson: When is the last time he's had a bad match?
2. Kenta Kobashi: He gave cancer the burning hammer.
3. Chris Hero: The best heel going
4. Larry Sweeney: The second best heel going. Ahahahahaha!
5. AJ Styles: So entertaining now.

[kongadave aka Dave Wills]

1. Larry Sweeney (awesome first time I saw him)
2. Sal Rinauro (should have a full time job somewhere soon)
3. Indies ( Quack vs. Rinuaro - 6 stars no doubt)
4. Delete button on my DVR ( keeps me from watching WWE before I start most weeks)
5. That I always forget to DVR that Russofest called TNA. Such great talent, such sorry booking.

[Timmy8271]

1. Billy Boy/Apache lives on
2. Santino
3. Eddie Kingston
4. AJ Styles
5. CHIKARA

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

1. Bryan Danielson - the wrestling, the promos, the persona, the mannerisms, is there anything about this guy that isn't all kinds of awesome?

2. ROH's Tag Division - aside from the Briscoes, who have reached a status as a tag team comparable to Samoa Joe's status as a singles wrestler in the promotion, the ROH tag division is absolutely STACKED with awesome number-two team Kevin Steen & El Generico and the myriad combinations that can arise from the various heel factions.

3. Sweet & Sour Inc. - Chris Hero, complete with pointless flips and bustling entourage, has the best gimmick in wrestling.

4. Chikara's DVD Covers - as a comic book fan, I'm a sucker for their homage covers.

5. Sara Del Rey - a good female wrestler? And she just happens to be hot as well? Hell yeah!

[Mr T L Wolf]

1. Motor City Machine Guns, for giving my older brother and I a team that we both agree on.
2. CHIKARA putting out a DVD so I can introduce said older brother to the wackiness.
3. Mike Quackenbush for not giving us a "Show must go on" and then giving us Stephen Colbert>Bill O'Reilly.
4. Fire Pro in America for giving me an alternative to crappy WWE games that don't suck like those Legends of Wrestling games...
5. Jeremy Borash for making some of the worst segments great.



6. Bolty's sig.

This seriously deserves extra praise. Quack is such a class act, and I am completely unashamed to say I love him.

[invaderdave]

1. Takeshi Morishima, for renewing my faith in monster heels.
2. Chris Hero, for Chris is Awesome
3. Mike Quackenbush, and all that he stands for.
4. Chuck Taylor, for his hatred of small sized children.
5. Sara Del Ray *SWOON*

[toodarkmark]

1. Motor City Machine Guns - For making me a naive mark again who actually cares that they win. Not just how it affects their push.
2. Aj Styles/Tomko - For being the breakout most entertaining duo. I forgot that AJ is the best wrestler in the world! He's getting over on his personality alone.
3. Angelina Love/Velvet Sky - Every week.
4. 2 Hours of TNA on TV a week - Whether its bad or good doesnt matter, I go home to watch it every week.
