Wrestlers You Just Enjoy

[Reverend BTY]

Are there wrestlers that you just enjoy? They're not exactly Ric Flair on the mic. Nor are they Eddie Guerrero in the ring. But for some strange reason you generally enjoy watching them. I figure everybody might have a choice or two. I have two that stick out to me.

Chris Masters- I think he's decent in the ring and he's so goofy it's amusing.

Hardcore Holly- He's just great as a bitter old guy. I can see him just being pissed of as the young'ens.

[jameson34656]

Well I've had a thing for Paul London ever since I first saw him as "some jobber" teaming with Billy Kidman. I always thought he had an "average joe" look to him, so I could relate to him. I'd watch him week after week and be amazed at how stunning him ringwork was. does that count?

[Mozenrath]

There are very few wrestlers I dislike completely. Batista is boring to me, but even with him I can usually make the most of it.

I like Big Daddy V a lot. I guess I just think he's good at what he does, even if I realize his jiggly chest can be off putting to people.

[DrewVonAwesome]

For some reason I've never been able to hate on a Kane match. When his paired with the right people he is a fantastic big man.

[The F'N Captain]

Booker T, no matter if people say he's boring or "stale" I just always dug the fact he was a mid card guy who worked hard and made his way past the glass ceiling.

Kane is the epitomy of what a wrestler should be. Loyal, puts young guys over, and seems to just enjoy the hell out of his job.

Jamie Noble, he just strikes me as this guy who knows a LOT about how the old school guys used to work and respect the business. He's also a solid guy who doesn't get by on flashy moves despite the fact he's shown he can use them.

Matt Hardy, dude's had a LOT of ups and downs, but has stabilized himself into being the most popular midcarder on Smackdown, with a mainevent push just waiting for him to grab.

[The Missing Manic]

Trips even with all the backstage stuff enjoy everything he does for some reason

Finlay the man is a leg end

Youmanga again just love his matches for some reason

[joewolf]

As a kid (30 now), I always loved Jerry Blackwell. I have no idea why. And "Cowboy" James Storm is my current favorite wrestler.

As a side note, I hate Sonjay Dutt. No reason, I am sorta friends with Matt Sydal (who was actually was my last TV win when I was an indy wrestler in St. Louis- woo!) and like his style. He seems like a good guy, I don't know. Just one of those things I guess.

[I Graduated Warrior University]

UNdertaker. Despite the fact that he buried DDP and was one of the main voices of protests throughout the InVasion angle, I will always be an Undertaker mark. Thw fact that he can carry the likes of Khali/Henry these days speaks volumes about the man...

[Chris the Bambikiller]

Big Daddy V - When I watch wrestling, I just want to see a true "monster" once in a while.
Val Venis - he's good and underused.

[Push R Truth]

Masters = He's been entertaining when put into the position of being a stupid heel. And he's a much better wrestler then most people give him credit for.



Sharkboy = I know he's not WWE, but a grown man that dresses up as a wrestling shark, and gets paid to do it, deserves respect. And his blue eyes can hypnotize!



Disco Inferno - He dresses up in Blaze Orange or Neon yellow, dances Disco down to the ring (sometimes while wearing a felt cowboy hat) and claims he is the coolest dude ever. How can you disagree?!?!?!?!?!?!



Bid Daddy V = Who are YOU to not agree?

[BRAINFADE]

Khali. I just find that guy totally lovable for some reason, probably because he's so bad he's fantastic.

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Growing up the British Bulldog was my favorite wrestler, even though he was never the best in any one category, he was always awesome to watch for me.

Others include:
- Lance Cade ( the guy impresses me each time out)
- Finlay
- Mark Henry (during his run over the last 2 years or so)
- RVD

I agree 100% with that ! And in the rest of your list, I' d also say say Viscera, but I don' t "just" like him, I mark for him.

And for wrestlers I just like, let' say...


John Cena - Sue me, I like the guy. His promos are gold and even if yes, he has a questionnable workrate, he seems to be aware of it and always manages to find away to vary his matches. And unlike other guys who had monster pushes like Brock lesnar or Goldberg, his opponents at least REACT, as in... you know, a wrestling match. Also, he obviously has a lot of love and respect for the fans, even when these idiots bash him for no reason. As a whole, I can already say I prefered to have him as the WWE champ than Orton.

Speaking of him, Randy Orton - Oh I remembered how much I marked for this guy back then ( I remember the first wrestling show I watched was the day he got betrayed by the Evolution ). he was terrific as a face. I don' t understand why the bookers insist on portraying him as a heel, where I find him a lot less credible. But anyway, I like his matches. Again, a few more moves could help making him better, but I think people are really exaggerating on the headlock thing ( not to mention that he has a neckbreaker finisher, remember ? ) and he often manages to come up with pretty surprising and impressive stuff.

Other than that, I usually enjoy every wrestler, really. Unlike those guys who like to call themselves "smart marks" ( even though they' re not marks and they' re not smart ), I prefer to focus on the good aspects of the show rather than the bad ones. Not to mention that to be honest, there are more good things than bad ones, IMO.

QFT. To name a few:

Alex Wright - Das f'n wunderkind. Coming out to the euro-house w/ his patented dance. Dope as all hell.

John Morrison - If it's not the ring work, or the promo metaphors, it's the now-infamous slow-mo intro.

Ravishing Rick Rude - Sweathogs. The fact he was never champ is still a crime today.

Beth Phoenix - Talk about character reinvention. Expanding on the Glamazon name took her to a whole new level.

Gangrel - The blood spit entrance, and the best impaler DDT on the planet. That's it.

and last, but certainly not least: The People's Champ. For obvious reasons.

[Kae]

For me, it would be Goldust. I loved everything about him. The gimmick, the glittery entrance, the melodramatic music, the mind-games, the humourous promos later with Booker. He wasn't the best worker, but man was he entertaining!

And yet I hate Black Reign with a firey, burning passion.

[Just Jay]

Mark Henry-I don't care what anybody here says about the big man. I loved his monster persona that started as early as 2004 or 05, when he faced Goldberg and I'm still lovin it! Sure, he's not Bret Hart in the ring, but he does what he has to do, and thats be an intimidating, credible force. If Khali can have a world title run, then Mark Henry is long overdue for the crap they put this guy through.

The Great Khali-See above.

Big Daddy V-I love this reinvention of Viscera because simply, they stripped Viscera down to a basic singlet, removed the eye contacts and even announce his hometown and have made him so much more interesting then all past incarnations. Plus, he's a beast in the ring. When I hear his theme, its more or less to the effect of "Oh shit!"

Chris Masters-for reasons everyone has stated.

Finlay-Probably my favorite wrestler on the current roster. How could you not like a man who's tough as nails, no nonsense and not afraid (kayfaybe...or is it?) of anybody? There's not a Finlay match I couldn't enjoy. I'm just a fan of his style of wrestling. Its just so, vicious that it looks like THATS how a wrestling match should be done each time.

You're not the only one, the only positive I have to say about the Black Reign character is that praise Allah that Dusty isn't booking TNA anymore because BR would be a main eventer, if not champion

i second this motion. he may not be the best in any one field of wrestling, but he excels at many different aspects of it. i think he is extremely well rounded and if given chances could be one of the biggest names one day.

i also thought daivari was one of the biggest buried treasures wwe ever stumbled across. the guy could have been used so much more. he was given chances to shine but would always end up back in the lower card as soon as he helped someone get over.
