Random WWE Confessions Thread

-I fully believe that if Sting ever actually shows up on WWE TV, I'll mark myself right into a catatonic state. That would be the ultimate wrestling moment for me.
-First heel I ever cheered for was the Rock right around the time he took over the Nation from Faarooq. I remember it was a big deal to me for me to like the heel, because I told my mom the same day I realized I liked the Rock.
-I too was a big time Billy Gunn fan. I thought he was a future main eventer for sure.
-I loved Orlando Jordan when he was JBL's Chief of Staff, and then afterwards when he went on his own. Dude got a mega push in my Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 game. He was probably my favorite guy on the roster after Christian.
-From the time Undertaker hung the Big Boss Man until his return a few years later, I had no idea if Bossman was actually dead or not. Shit worried me as a kid.

I loved the Invasion angle and it is still one of my favourite times in WWE history

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

I thought LOLHEEL Punk was great. The mocking of Lawler's heart attack, pouring "Paul Bearer's" ashes all over Undertaker, casually interrupting Mae Young's birthday party, the brawl with Vince, dude was just perversely entertaining.

As a kid I wanted Goldust to win the world title. I didn't really register him as a gay stereotype in my mind as a kid, I just thought he was cool and weird.

I still believe in Kofi. Not in a "future face of the WWE" way, just as something beyond a JTTS.

In retrospect, LayCool were one of the best heel tag teams in years, Diva or otherwise.

I love it when Cena gets smug.

I always and still think Umaga could have been a good world champ.

Kurt Angle should have NEVER become the "wrestling machine". I lost all interest in him as he gradually got less goofy.

[ayumidah]

Kane and X-Pac were my first favorite tag team.

[tenshi]

I like Alberto Del Río. Just because his character isn't over the top doesn't mean that the guy is boring, the guy can be entertaining as hell in the ring and he entertains me with his ring work.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I like the Miz. Even if some think he should've never been WWE Champion, I think he has more value to the company as a "failed" main eventer than he would if he was never pushed beyond that point.

I have no problem with WWE trying to present itself as an "entertainment company". Imo, they're not "ashamed" of being a wrestling company. They just aspire to be MORE than a wrestling company. A lot of people probably don't realize this, but WWE is STILL "World Wrestling Entertainment".

I actually liked Heidenreich

I like the Wyatt Family, but I don't think they should be getting pushed as hard as they are.

I liked Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger as a tag team, and in hindsight it was a waste that WWE never fully pulled the trigger on them. WWE's uncertainty with Ziggler's future really hurt the team's potential. The fans wanted more for Dolph, but that unfairly made Swagger out to look like an albatross when they were actually a pretty damn good team. When I heard they won the tag titles at a house show, I marked out like a little kid, but when I found that they did the whole, restart the match and the champions ended up retaining, it took all my strength to fight back the tears.

I wouldn't mind guys like Ryback, Ziggler, or Miz getting depushed to the midcard if WWE would let just them actually BE midcarders and let them seriously compete for and carry the midcard titles.

I think that Alex Riley's best bet would be to push him as an "Bizarro Vanilla Midget", someone who fights to prove his worth despite being a.) a good looking guy with big muscles, b.) WWE homegrown talent who never set foot in an indy ring, c.) nowhere close to being a technical master and d.) a former football player. He would fight to show how much he loves wrestling despite having those multiple stigmas hanging over his head.

I watched WrestleMania 2 again, for the first time in years, and still couldn't watch when the snake makes George Wells throw up.

THIS, so much. Especially since they don't shy away from the world "wrestling" anymore. Not to mention that a lot of their outside ventures (WWE Films, the whole BAStar/Make-A-Wish stuff, etc) gets them more attention from people that normally wouldn't be interested in wrestling. And odds are that a good chunk of those folks will get hooked by the actual wrestling matches, given that the in-ring product's at a new high.

[Long A, Short A]

-My brother worked at a video store for around seven years in the 90's and I asked him to bring home only two wrestling tapes. Only two

-I like guys that "don't know how to work"

-I like Hunico as a wrestle, but I also like to make fun of him. Please get him back on RAW or Smackdown.

-I miss the time when the local religious channel played wrestling for hours on Saturday nights.

-Roman Reins gives me a mild case of the light skin creeps.

Here's one I just remembered - I prefer the second One Night Stand over the first one. First one has the great Awesome / Tanaka match, but that's really about all I can remember from it match-wise (though the segments and stuff were a lot of fun) besides how disappointing Eddie / Benoit was, but the second one has that insane six man tag, RVD / Cena, Sabu / Mysterio (bullshit ending aside), Angle / Orton was decent... And I remember the night I watched it I was thrilled when Big Show's music hit because he finally dropped the one theme and switched to the much better one I was already well acquainted with by that point.

[Deleted]

Just like the opening poster, I was and still AM a huge Billy Gunn fan. The guy was a perfect tag wrestler and an underrated power guy singles star.

I'm a HUGE fan of Alberto Del Rio.

I genuinely enjoyed 95% of Mr Kennedy matches, and I thought his character was great, still good on the mic in TNA too. Nice guy to chat to as well.

Still think it's a crime (/hyperbole) that Nigel McGuinness didn't make it to the WWE. He would have been money, he has the drive of Bryan and all the talent & determination to make anything work. His run with Kurt Angle in TNA proved to me that he could have worked well with any big star.

As a kid, Gangrel's entrance and theme was the coolest thing i had ever seen.

I don't mind Michael Cole. Although his bit as a wrestler was dumb.

I like Khali. He's awful in the ring (especially now) but i kind of want him to win matches hes in (love his insane interviews).

I liked D'Von but never liked Bubba Ray (no idea why). I really wanted the Reverend gimmick to be a success and i marked when he got a pinfall over HHH.

I was actually thoroughly entertained by Heel Cole. I think the only time I was ever annoyed with him was Cody Rhodes' IC Title win because he was marking out too much to the point where it ruined the moment. But other than that, he was fine.

I too liked Reverend D-Von.

I also liked Texas Hardcore Champion Bradshaw.

[EyeofTyr]

I loved Billy Gunn, Gangrel and Goldust as a kid. Goldust I wanted to see as WWF Champion too.

Actually, I still like Gangrel along with the rest. Realize he's nowhere near as polished of an act as Edge or Christian were even then, but I still enjoy him when I pop in some old events.

I like Al Snow and thought he should've gone further too.

The first time I ever sided with a heel was Randy Savage. I love the Macho Man and with something like the Mega Powers exploding, I felt he was completely justified and thought Hogan was a no good horndog.

[celticjobber]

As a little kid, I was actually afraid of Papa Shango. I totally bought into the voodoo bullshit when he was feuding with Ultimate Warrior...

I mark out for segments where Great Khali talks, but I cringe during his matches.

I like playing as Randy Orton in WWE videogames, but I'm not a fan of his real-life work.

I haven't worn a pro wrestling t-shirt since probably 1999 or 2000 (my last one was a Tommy Dreamer "Innovator of Violence" ECW shirt).

I think Nikki Bella's kind of hot since she got a little "thicker".

That's how I am with both him and Punk, and to a lesser extent del Rio. They have some pretty awesome movesets and mannerisms, always loved Cult of Personality (hell, I used it in the games for years for Punk as it was), but... Man, do I just not enjoy the performers at all.

Related to that, there are people like Christian I like but find boring as hell to play as.

[Instant Classic]

I'm glad Jack Swagger and Khali won the WHC.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Whenever CM Punk does something...assholistic like getting into altercations with fans, I love it.

[slappy]

I think Hulk Hogan's matches are entertaining.

JBL's WWE title reign was great.

As was the Reign of Terror. HHH should have held the title from the night he was given it in September 2002 until he lost it to Batista in April 2005. HBK, Goldberg, Benoit and Orton never should have held it. But since they did let others win it, Kevin Nash should have had a run with it.

I love Miz, Kevin Nash, Powers of Pain, Henry Godwinn, Big John Studd, Bad News Brown, Kama Mustafa and Michelle McCool among others who people generally think are bad/terrible (but not because people think they are bad/terrible).

2011 was one of the best years in WWE history. I'm glad Nash got involved because it gave me one of my favorite matches ever when he fought HHH at TLC.

WWECW was the best brand WWE had.

King Booker's Court was fantastic and I miss Sharmell.

I hoped Hardcore Holly would beat Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2004 and win the title.

I love "Hardcore Country." As well as some of Jeff Hardy's music. I'm currently listening to Madison Rayne's theme "Killer Queen."

Though there are some they could have waited to induct, I believe everyone in the Hall of Fame is worthy of being in.

Andre the Giant and Undertaker used to haunt my dreams.

Speaking of Andre, his memorial on Raw after he died is my first memory.

I have a soft spot for Stephanie and not just because she's probably the first woman I fantasized about.
