Far as I can tell, you either hate Sheamus/Cena, or you hate big guys instead of smaller ones, or you hate wrestlers that win alot, or you just are looking for stuff to complain about.

Maybe. Maybe it's the weak presentation of Sheamus challengers that bothers me and gives me the expression that Ziggler and del Rio are merely Canon Fodder. And as I've said before, if Cena puts a guy over then and when(not regularly, he's the top seller), he can sell his merc and have his segments or the belt or whatever without bothering me.

I don't think I hate big wrestlers. The booking of Sheamus(not the guy himself) is super boring to me, ok. But Mark Henry and Kane were great as WHC. I was even a fan of the Warrior, who is probably the worst main event wrestler(in a wrestling sense) ever cause he was intense, even with PG settings.

CM Punk started great as champion, he even lost sometimes, mostly tag team matches but also some singles matches. And that is what I am probably missing: loose the battle, win the war scenarios. Concluding from that, big wininnig streaks who look effortless probably really bother me, and I should refrain from watching the main even of the shows and just turn the TV off then. <img src=

And me not knowin something awbout wrestling, also a maybe. But opinions differ, and only cause I don't like the winning formula of pro wrestling's dominant faces doesn't mean I don't see them.

Can I just randomly add that Cody Rhodes, a person with MASSIVE talent, has been teasingly booked for too long. Let's look at this. Starting up a rally, bringing back the classic intercontinental championship and going on a streak only to be ended by at first Big Show, who by the way has NEVER won at wrestlemania until his match with Rhodes which KILLED Cody's momentum, he wins the belt back only to lose it to Christian randomly, who would then lose it like nothing to Miz (Another story for another time). He Eliminates more people than anybody in the Royal Rumble only to be EASILY PUSHED over the top rope by the Big Show, a BS move. Runs a PETITION with ACTUAL FAN SUPPORT to get into the Money in the Bank and doesn't even have a fuckin prominent role in that match. It's been the ultimate tease and it's getting old.

Random, but yeah.

Cody Rhodes was alright in Legacy, good as Dashing, he was great as disfigured Rhodes(loved how he had baggers annoying Booker T and Dibiase assaulting him after posing as a guy who got a bag), he was still good as bring the legacy back champion. I also thought he would move on to the WHC contender level after Big Show got his big win at WM to make him a Grand Slam champion, but he didn't.

Right now, his most interesting asset is his cloak. That little flicker of interest with him asking for a second chance for MITB fast fizzled out. I honestly don't know what happened to him, maybe a doghouse stay for Goldust leaving or that steroids rumor? His moveset has vastly improved, even a tribute to Goldust with the slidding punch included, so I don't think it's not cause he is not ready.

Sorry that had to happen.

Rock smash?

Though I dunno how that matters. Rock, despite his one off returns, hasn't been relevant to wrestling since 2003. We moved on. Well, except for the IWC, who thinks the Attitude Era was the only good time in wrestling and needs to be copied endlessly. Isn't it nice knowing that there are people online who think that because they can go to wrestling websites and talk about they love a grand total of 3 years of wrestling history that somehow makes them "better" or "smarter" fans then everyone else? Sure, they only watched and care about 3 years, whereas someone like say...Me...has been watching for over 15 years now. But they liked when those 3 years there was blood, boobs, and cussing, and a roster that had 10 good wrestlers and 30 shitty ones, so that makes them much smarter then the rest of us.

Fuck the IWC. I'd rather be a mark any day then be some elitist asshole who can't move past 1999.

While I'm at it, fuck 1999. Just in general. Being a 9 year old sucked. Your not as cute as when your 8, so you cant get away with crap, and your not old enough to get credit for anything you do, like when your 10.

I need to bring this into the conversation.

I was talking to some coworkers a few days ago about how there are very few wrestlers nowadays that convincingly look scary and act like they would totally fuck someone up for real. Most guys today just don't look legit at all, except for guys like Kane. Just a bunch of clean cut bodybuilders. But, Ox Baker? Baron Raschke? Mad Dog Vachon? Yeah, you see what I mean. Crusher, when he was a heel, with his "cousin" Dick the Bruiser (another scary bastard... http://www.canoe.ca/WrestlingImagesB/dickthebruiser.jpg) were like Stone Cold Steve Austin with their smoking, beer drinking, and violence except they were Polish people from Wisconsin instead of rednecks from Texas. The older guys I work with who saw Ox, Baron, and even Abdullah the Butcher (........ http://croobal.com/entertainment/wrestlemania/wwe-superstar-abdullah-the-butcher-wallpapers-videos-theme-song-biography-pictures/) wrestle live several times in the 1970s say they still have uneasy feelings when they think of them LOL!

WTF ever happened to the real heels? I realize that back in the day people thought it was real. Ox started a riot in an arena when he was "beating up" on a face and the people there thought he was going to try to kill him for real. Raschke and Mad Dog, as tag team champions, had to literally fight people to leave the arena, and Baron had his head busted open after getting hit by a piece of wood. But with people knowing full well it's not real, that's probably taken the spirit away from pro wrestling to make true villains.

It got old. People got smarter. Times changed.

But don't worry... you can keep whining in this thread. Just make sure to read the first port every time you finish a rant. <img src=
