I honestly thought the Spirit Squad being shipped to Abu Dhabi in a box was legitimately hilarious. Professional wrestling is always best when it's making Garfield references.

Although, they weren't edgy as they were in 97. 2006 DX was still hilarious

Randy Orton has consistently been one of the best things in-ring about the WWE since Evolution, and he's only gotten better since then. His character and angles have meandered up and down the scale of quality, but he's always been one of my favorites in the ring. His in-ring charisma is excellent, and quite undervalued. He's an ace at working the crowd and getting them into a match, and as The Viper is one of the few guys with a really discernible, top-to-bottom methodology of how he wrestles. Most midcarders are midcarders because they don't have much of a style. The people who are the most distinctive (Ambrose being another good example) tend to do a lot better for themselves. Orton's dull right now but that's not his fault. His booking has been awful, but right up until the end of the "Weak Link" story he was doing great.

i found HHH, Orton and Batista very entertaining
Reigns is the RIGHT person to carry Cena's torch as the no.1 Guy. He has the pedigree, looks and over with the crowd
Lesnar was absolutely the right person to end the streak at the right time at the right place
Del Rio is one of the crispiest guys in the ring and probably the best technical moveset since Benoit
speaking about Benoit, he's by FAR the best in-ring wrestler ever to grace WWE ring
AJ Lee is hideous and her run as GM put me off Raw for good several months
same goes for Paige and the feud with AJ sucks donkey dick. She's a camwhore
Undertaker v Sting is the ultimate dream match and the build-up eventual face off will be awesome. I don't care how they gel in ring
wwe made a mistake by not signing AJ Styles

faces are inherently more interesting than heels
watching a face cut off a big heel move is one of the most entertaining things in wrestling
outside of the number of wins WWE tends to make heels look better than faces

John Cena & Randy Orton are the reason most of the late OVW/early FCW guys never got a shot or got stuck in the midcard.
Total Divas is pretty goddamn stupid.

Aside from the Raw recaps, I actually find Smackdown more enjoyable than Raw.

faces are inherently more interesting than heels When they're written correctly, I agree. But just being called a "good guy" doesn't automatically by proxy make you more supportable and entertaining than heels. Your character has to be relatable on some level, and his plight/mission has to be just. Or else that "good guy" fast becomes the true heel.

Ricky Ortiz was awesome.
Was always a Bobby Lashley fan (aside from mic work).
Not sure how unpopular this is but I thought Husky Harris was garbage when he was in NXT and FCW.
I hate Stardust.
I think Xavier Woods could be a great upper midcarder if given the chance to have a storyline that isn't dropped 3 weeks later.

I feel a face is more interesting than a heel even in a situation like a debut in the early 90s. A few promos and beating a few jobbers. The attitudes heels display, even before their in ring actions make me want nothing else but to see their teeth knocked down their throats.

But to me, if a babyface elicits that same type of annoyance in me, I want to see him beaten. It's why Cena's character bothers me. I should want to cheer him on, but he's so mind-numbingly irritating and inconsistent that for me, him being squashed by Brock at Summer Slam was as satisfying as when Warrior crushed Honky at Summer Slam '88.

I want a John Cena heel turn or John Cena to be an anti-hero about as much as I want a root canal. I've just accepted that he's never going to change. Though it wouldn't kill him to take his feuds more seriously (like he has with Brock).
Rusev needs wrestling boots.
The ridicule for Bull Dempsey's look is ridiculous. He looks more like a pro wrestler than most of the wrestlers in WWE do (his entrance theme is pretty awful, though).
Bobby Lashley is not a bad professional wrestler.
Brock Lesnar is not a bad promo.
Goldust is one of the most under-rated & under-appreciated wrestlers of his generation.
Paul Heyman is a better promo & a better commentator than Bobby Heenan.
The only way I could ever buy Daniel Bryan beating Brock Lesnar is if he has a machine gun.

If the WWE only pushing homegrowns and burying indy darlings is a slug on one side, it'd be a slug on the other if they only push indy darlings. There needs to be some mix.
Nick Dinsmore wouldn't have been able to get a pop at the Coke bottling plant without the Eugene gimmick.

But I wish that WWE handled their homegrown talents better and did more to endear them to that same fanbase that cheers for the Indy darlings.

A couple of my own: WrestleMania 2 wasn't so bad. It's not among the great WrestleManias but it had a few good matches (Savage vs Steele, Bulldogs vs Dream Team, JYD/Santana vs Funks). Heck, I think it was better than WrestleMania I. It gets hurt buy three things, the decision to spread it over three locations, the celebrities doing commentary and the fact that it's between two more historic WrestleManias. I hate it when the #1 entrant in the Royal Rumble nearly lasts to the end. I not saying it should never happen but it's happened in the last three Rumbles and I think it cheapens the achievement. I should only happen once in a while.

Trish shouldn't have retired with the Women's Championship. It was one of those rare scenarios in which the departing wrestler wins their final match. Lita deserved a better send-off, regardless of being face or heel.
I don't think Triple H is that bad of a guy when it comes to his own booking. Seriously, what did he derail that was so significant?
I found 2006 DX amusing. Hell, I even thought 2009 DX wasn't too bad, outside of the Little People's Court segment.
The vegetative state storyline is what kept me watching SmackDown through the summer of 2010. I wanted to see if The Undertaker would get better, and whoop Kane's ass. I liked the storyline.

Summer Rae looks like a drag queen. Ditto on Summer Rae. Looks like a transgender person who started their puberty blockers too late. I'm not Summer Rae's biggest fan and her face looks kinda weird when she smiles, but I'm convinced that you two have never seen a real drag queen or a pre-op transgender in your lives. On topic: I'm still trying to find that ass that AJ Lee supposedly has.
