I think it also frankly didn't help that he just looks awkward, with his thin arms and legs and tree stump torso. Some of that with his biceps was apparently nerve damage, I heard. That'd make sense, that can definitely impact muscle size, like Paul Orndorff had two differently sized arms due to it. |

Well I think that statement has been way too literally by some because Becky is a few years younger than I am and we both went through the Irish school system(all 14 years of it) and PE was never a subject so not sure how she failed it. I mean yes I can imagine she couldn’t give two shits about it and that would go for many kids of her generation when you see what passed for PE. |

I agree with Cena and I always compare him to Orton. Orton is smooth as silk in the ring. Every move he does is executed to perfection. Meanwhile Cena is awkward, clunky and can barely pull off a dropkick. 99 times out of 100 though I’d choose to watch a Cena match over an Orton match. If wrestler x is wrestling both Cena and Orton back to back I’d usually expect them to have a better match with Cena. The best example I can think of is in 2010 when Cena and Wade Barrett had a highly entertaining match at Hell in a Cell then a few weeks later at Bragging Rights Barrett and Orton had a complete stinker.

He’d admit that he’s never been the smoothest worker but Cena is so good at playing a convincing come-from-behind role. Even though he’s a jacked guy his selling is underrated-ly good and he’s able to power guys around the ring for a fun babyface comeback (especially against lighter workers like Styles, PAC-Neville and Sami Zayn). IMO he’s perfected the WWE superhero style Hogan used into a formula that’s versatile and also lets him hang with the Japanese and Indy-influenced talent out there. |

A lot of it is even though from a mechanical standpoint Orton is a better pro wrestler, Cena I think is more versatile and willing to adapt his opponents. Orton on the other hand just kind of always wrestles the same match regardless of who his opponent which to me isn't a good way of going about things in that things that might work well with some guys aren't going to work as well with others. I did really like his series of matches with Christian in 2011 and thought that was by far his best work. They just had really good chemistry for whatever reason and it seemed like Orton was more willing to get out of his comfort zone in those matches. |

I have a hard time imagining anyone in wrestling that has wasted more peoples time than the Bella twins.
And I am pretty sure my little brother and I had better matches in our bedroom growing up than New Jack has ever managed to cobble together.

She's not even in the worst 59 wrestling women |

Nikki Bella became a pretty damn good wrestler over time And While nobody would ever confuse New Jack with Dean Malenko, he was a better wrestler than given credit for |

Baba is probably one of the most unfairly maligned wrestlers in terms of his ability in the ring because a lot of people are only really familiar with his stuff from the eighties and nineties when was completely broken down. He was a very good worker in the sixties and seventies, and even had some pretty good technical matches with blokes like the Destroyer. Not on the level of Inoki but he could more than hold his own before injuries and his general health let him down. I think it also frankly didn't help that he just looks awkward, with his thin arms and legs and tree stump torso. Baba did had gigantism like Andre which is probably why he look like the way he. |
