Stuff everyone liked or love but you didn't

[dlg3000]

What are some gimmicks, angles, etc that you didn't like yet others rave about?

[ICBM]

ECW matches. I have a better appreciation now, but back then the first exposure I got to ECW style matches made me view them as garbage. I just didn't get it. It took yrs for Tommy Dreamer and Raven to get over with me. The Dudley's didn't do anything for me until they had been around WWE for yrs(BTW, WWE.com may think you are former wow champions, but as a ECW loyalist, you never won those belts).

Randy Orton in any match, angle or segment. He just never did it for me. He has a great look, great timing, great body of work, but he just never moved the needle for me. Ever

The Rock. I am a fan and respect his work now. But back in 99 I just hated the son of a *****. His shoots on ECW were his worst offense with me. I rewound the tape(yup VHS copy) of Steve Austin beating the Rock senseless at WM X7 just to see that arrogant terd get nailed again and again. I think it took him putting over Brock clean, before I accepted that Rock was cool. He was always funny, I just hated him. So I suppose I was his mark in that way

Brock. I just never liked the guy.

[BlackoutCreature]

The nWo. I just never saw the appeal of a group of 3 to a dozen people managing to keep a roster of over 100 guys at bay every week while constantly doing the exact same thing and acting like obnoxious frat boys despite the fact that they're all atleast in their late 30's.

Oddly, I loved Brock as an MMA fighter, yet have never cared for him as a pro wrestler.

[The Gambler Fan]

The Four Horsemen.

[saintpat]

The Attitute Era in general and Steve Austin in particular.

About the third time he randomly stunnered someone for no reason I lost all interest.

I hate the nWo as well. They ruined main events in WCW for several years (seriously, there was NEVER a good PPV main event during that time period), they made everyone look like crap, they never got their comeuppance, and they kept getting bigger and bigger and never freaking ended. People whine about D-X being an nWo knock-off, but at least Michaels in '97/HHH in '00 were excellent wrestlers and didn't destroy main events by themselves.

I hated Ric Flair. I didn't "get" his interviews that had nothing to do with the belt. I wished he would just shut up.

I didn't come around and accept he was one of the best until years later, probably the feud with Steamboat.

Bret Hart

I never really liked The Rock when I was a kid. I have a better appreciation for him now, but I always was and always will be a Stone Cold guy

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

- I didn't exactly *hate* him, but I was always mildly indifferent at best to Word Life Cena. It was an ok midcard gimmick- but in all honesty, I get a lot more enjoyment out of the Fruity Pebbles incarnation. His current character seems like he's just being himself and having a blast out there, cornyness aside.

- Roderick Strong. Fantastic athlete, can have some good matches with certain guys, but I can't draw any emotional investment from him. He's just a terrible actor.

- Can't stand babyface Christian. There's just something uncannily weasely about him that keeps me from cheering him. Now his tag team run with Edge and his TNA heel reign? Good times.

[celticjobber]

Austin Aries. I just don't see what's so special about him.

I never liked the Rock much in his heyday, but I like his work now for the most part.

While they were good (atleast the ones against HBK), I think Undertaker's last several Wrestlemania matches have been highly over-rated.

[The Gambler Fan]

The Four Horsemen. Funny thing is that I always liked Arn Anderson. There was a time that I was a big Ric Flair fan. I thought Windham was okay in a few tag teams. Pillman was awesome. Malenko was great. Sid is one of my all time favorites. Luger was okay. Sting was awesome. Roma was okay. Blanchard was cool for his time.

Only wrestlers who I hate that are from the Four Horsemen are Steve McMichael, Ole Anderson and Chris Benoit.

As a team I always hated the Horseman even if I liked most of the wrestlers in it.

[thegame415]

Pretty much anything prior to 1996, except for Bret, HBK, and Savage.

[Johnny Flamingo]

nWo and Stone Cold.

Not that I hated them, just didn't get into them that much.

[SeVeN: #TheBadGuy.]

The Four Horsemen, The Rock ( pre Hollywood Rock ),Bret Hart and Owen. The SeS. Demolition. Any Cruiserweight stuff.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I've hated The Undertaker since his returned as the deadman in 04. The gimmick is way too hokey,

[4TheGlory]

What did the Rock say about ECW?
