Are there some things in the world of wrestling that everyone on the board seems to love but that you just do not get at all? Wrestlers, promotions or whatever else that the majority of the folks here seem to love, but that you think is meh, or just utter crapola?
For me, there are 2 that stick out.
1. Super Dragon: To me, the guy is a lop, worthless in every way, but he is worshiped by many.
2. Abyss: I can't stand this guy. He seems just like all the so called hosses that are so often berated on theses forums, but he is beloved for reasons that are beyond my comprehension.
Anyone else got stuff that they just don't get?

I used to like Jimmy Rave, now he strikes me as bland, Nana carried him.
CM Punk Matt Sydal Jimmy Jacobs BJ Whitmer Davey Richards Human Tornado(look at my avatar, I'm just doing this to be biased, I like the guy) LuFisto(nice chick, and I helped start the craze for her on WC so it's hypocritical of me to say, but hell I just thought she was hot, the more I watch her matches the more boring she gets) Alsion Danger(Indie Trish) Trish Stratus(Overrated as shit) People thinking ROH guys should go over Misawa, Kobashi, etc. Yeah, KENTA, Hida, Marufuji, etc can't or rarely can, but some indy guys should Ace Steel
I'm sure there's more.

I'm with you on Davey Richards. I almost vomited all over the poor filipinos in front of me when he won BOLA.

In all seriousness:
-Also don't totally get the Russo hate. I'm not blown away by his work lately, but I'm not offended, either. I've been mostly entertained.
-Ariel. Don't get me wrong, not saying she's ugly or anything, but I don't see the "ZOMG HOTTEST EVER!!!" thing a lot of people are throwing about these days for her.

Matt Sydal - He just seems like AJ Styles V.2 to me. Plus he's bland as hell. Roderick Strong - I really like his work, but there's just something about him that seems missing. The Hardy Boyz - They just never realy appealed to me. Undertaker Trish Stratus - I don't hate her, I just never really cared for her. Though I'll admit, I did like the way she went out. Ariel - I like her, but everyone really seems to overrate her for some reason. She's just Mickie James/Lufisto 2K7, by the end of the year just about everyone will be over her. BJ Whitmer Davey Richards The Briscoes Batista (Since he returned) Bobby Lashley Chris Harris
There's probably more, but I can't think of them at this moment.

I dunno, I seem to understand what people get out of most wrestlers that don't quite fit my idea of what's entertaining in wrestling, guys like Chris Sabin, Petey Williams, I don't like them but I can understand if someone else does.
One thing I don't get in wrestling, but doesn't really have to do with any particular wrestler is just how quick people are to believe anything they read on the internet, especially lately there's a slew of bullcrap that people don't seem to need any actual proof to buy into, the CM Punk doghouse thing, people thinking Kurt Angle is crazy, etc, it's like, such second hand information is something I usually wait to hear from someone credible until I actually believe it(not credible as in Dave Meltzer, I mean credible as in someone who actually WORKS for the companies Meltzer seems to love gossipping over)
The ONE wrestler that seems to have a big online fan base that I will absolutely NEVER understand is Necro Butcher, I'll respect anyone's opinion if they actually like him, but...it's just..for the life of me I don't know what they see in him. I can't even put myself in someone else's shoes and see what they see in him, there was a thread on the ROH boards(I don't frequent them or even post there, was just looking in curiosity) regarding Necro joining ROH and it threw me WAY off that the majority of them are for it, and the ones who were against it were told to look at matches he had with Samoa Joe, so I looked at a match he had with Samoa Joe and it was, well the most normal match I've seen of his but it was basically Necro getting his butt whipped until he couldn't take it anymore. HE didn't really do anything impressive other than the beating he took.
And the other matches I've seen of him are simply barbaric without any actual reason for them being that sick, I absolutely do no understand what his appeal is!

-Jimmy Rave. -How people actually LIKE Batista since his return. Agreed. I also don't get Matt Sydal. He's just a not as good version of AJ.

Can't agree with this - Super Dragon carries himself with the mystery of the luchadores which intrigues me and makes me wanna watch, but works stiff as hell which is always good. Plus he came up with the kerb stomp, and Simon Dean could never make it look as sick. Abyss is pretty talented for a big guy - certainly more interesting to watch as a character than early Kane or Undertaker. For a guy who can't speak, we all know what his character is about and his matches are always entertaining IMO. Granted, the over-use of thumbtacks is annoying, but I guess that's become his gimmick now so I'll let it slide. I'll agree with Matt Sydal - he has great moves but there's just something about his whiny frat boy look and attitude that gets under my skin. I'd also have to go with Kevin Steen - my mate Dougie adores him but I just don't get it. I've also never got Raven. I've never thought he could talk and he sure as hell can't work. Aside from that, the main thing I'll never get is just how could a certain major promotion could become so bad

Abyss more interesting then prime Kane/Taker AND Raven can't talk? I'll meet you outside sir. I honestly don't like Joe that much, his good and i wouldn't change the channel when his on or anything, but he doesn't entertainment enough to say he's the best wrestler in the world (or even north america) he also doesn't look like a badass at all to me (maybe that one time after the headbut with angle, but he did have blood dripping down his face ).

Batista (Hi, I'm built like Scott Steiner, but I have Sid's moveset! Those X-Division guys have no wrestling ability like me! I'm t3h kewl!)
Ariel (Lita didn't look like the normal Diva. Victoria doesn't look like the normal Diva. Even Mickie James doesn't look like a normal Diva. Ariel ... she's just a fugly beast with Goodyear blimps taped to her chest. Send her back to the airport strip club.)
Shane Hagadorn (This is what the RoH school produces?!? As generic as generic can be, from his moveset to his heat-getting techniques. Replace him with a cardboard cutout and I wouldn't know the difference.)
MNM (I didn't want a rerun of the Hollywood Blondes with two spot monkeys. And Melina ... there's plenty of women who are that flexible. They're called porn stars, and most of them are better looking then you. So why are you here?)
Adam Pearce (I wanted to like him, but, like Hagadorn, he's generic to a fault. I don't like him, I don't hate him ... he's just a wrestling blind-spot.)
The Monster's Ball match (Anybody who thinks that 24 hours without food, water or daylight would produce people who were raving lunatics with bottomless wells of strength are as dumb as dishwater. This is a hardcore match. That's all.)
Jed Shaffer ~And airport food ... I don't get that either.

Here's a few i don't get.....
Dusty Rhodes (If i wanted to be overloaded by grease, fatness and southern goods, i would eat KFC thanks)
Roddy Piper (First you're not Scottish, second you ramble in your promos about absolute crap, and 3rd nobody can understand what the hell you are saying and 4th and finally you've never done anything memorable, EVER)
CM Punk (Never done anything to impress me, and i've watched his boring matches with Samoa Joe)
Batista (Yep everybody keeps saying this but since his return he has become boring and bland, and like a petulant child)
Bobby Lashley (Low on charisma, low on wrestling ability, talks like a 6 year old and gets put into positions he quite frankly doesn't deserve)
Carlito (bland as hell, with a horrible moveset)
