  1. Their tag match at the Royal Rumble with The Rockers was one of my biggest pleasant surprise matches when re-watching old PPVs when I first got the WWE Network. If that makes them overrated, so be it. That match is awesome!
  2. No matter how "bad" WWE gets, or if any other promotion ever gets some legs to stand on, or what services are provided: I'm simply never missing Wrestlemania or Royal Rumble for as long as 1. I'm alive or 2. they exist. I would watch both over the Super Bowl at this point. Even when The Miz was in the main event, there's no way I'm missing Wrestlemania. People can say what they want about WWE & the deterioration of the product, but a wrestling fan should not miss Wrestlemania. Even guys that are in the business & work for other promotions watch the big WWE PPVs. I admit RAW is hard to get through some weeks, three hours feels exceptionally long when you're watching it live. If you're messing around with friends, either in-person or on-line while watching it though, it goes a lot quicker & is more entertaining.
  3. Twitter. Twitter is a big reason why I still watch RAW. I get enjoyment from RAW the same way I get enjoyment from awful movies like Sharknado 2. I watch it, I make fun of it. I interact with other people doing the same and I have a good time doing it. I watch a lot of wrestling. Watching modern WWE keeps me current. If I get some good stuff, it's a pleasant surprise. If I get bad stuff, I riff track it anyway. I genuinely enjoy watching RAW & clowning on it. It's like watching a comedy movie to me.
  4. It would make more sense for Rollins to retain so Brock can take it from him at Survivor Series, to get his revenge for what happened at last Wrestlemania. Or do you think Lesnar should be the heel?
  5. Do you think the main event of Wrestlemania next year is going to be Roman Reigns Vs. Brock Lesnar again? I was trying to think of what they were planning on doing, since they moved Brock/Taker 3 up to this Sunday. I honestly don't know what their plans are but I imagine they have some by now, since this Wrestlemania is going to be so big & they want to sell it out.
  6. Debuting on Smackdown is a death knell.
  7. My main goal with my list is that whenever I go down the list, a wrestler above another wrestler in my mind is better. That's the hard part for me. If I look at my list and have a random wrestler at 44, the guy at 43 needs to be better than the guy at 44 and that 44th guy needs to be better than the 45th. The lower down the list you get, the harder that becomes. To me, Top Ten is a lot easier than 90-100. Especially that #100 - so this guy is better than EVERYONE ELSE that I've left off?
  8. What are the odds the mystery opponent could be Daniel Bryan? Did anyone ever report what the third doctor opinion was? Has that doctor visit happened yet? That could be a good surprise.
  9. I remember when a normal, good old fashioned cage match was a big deal. Then we had Hell in a Cell & then Elimination Chamber. Now Hell in a Cell gets its entire own PPV & there's not one but two Hell in a Cell matches on the card & I'm almost completely apathetic for the show. It just doesn't feel like it really matters in the grand scheme of things, ya know? I don't think anyone is picking Kane to win the WWE title. No matter who wins between Roman or Bray, I don't think anything will change. Brock is, in all likelihood, going to topple 'Taker, ending the feud that I didn't even want to see start. There's a tag match where in 2015 the Dudleys could very well be tag champs again. A six-man rematch on the preshow that we got on free TV last night. Ryback/Owens I guess cause Ryback gets his rematch? Nikki/Charlotte because Nikki gets her rematch. I feel like the only intrigue is who is coming out to answer Cena's open challenge as I imagine he's dropping the US title for his time off. I know we're just coasting until Survivor Series (or arguably Royal Rumble) but a Hell in a Cell match should still be a big deal. It doesn't feel like it is anymore. Even with all the Legends last night coming back to try to get it over.
  10. Lita had an impact on fans. Without Lita, there's no AJ Lee, right? At least that's how the story has been portrayed, I'm not sure how close to reality that is.
  11. The New Day Vs. The Dudley Boys & John Cena Rusev, Wade Barrett & Sheamus Vs. Neville, Cesaro & Dolph Ziggler The Shield Vs. The Wyatt Family Is there a new law in WWE that there has to be a six-man tag every hour now, or what?
  12. Rusev, Wade Barrett & Sheamus Vs. Cesaro, Neville & Dolph Ziggler was a lot of fun.
  13. Victoria was the pits too.
  14. I never got the love for Lita OR Trish. Ivory, Molly Holly & even Jazz were better than both. I've went off on this tangent before but Trish & Lita being great is the same revisionist history that tries to say Triple H was one of the top guys when Rock & Austin were on top. Trish was crawling on all fours in a thong barking like a dog & Lita had her thong hanging out half the time & did a "live sex celebration" but WWE doesn't want us to remember THAT. They want us to remember when they main evented an episode of RAW, when Lita damn near broke her neck.
  15. It's also crazy since everyone is a boring promo when they have to come out & talk for twenty minutes every week. Look at Seth.
  16. I think Seth should just be turned babyface since that's how he wrestles anyway.
  17. Yeah, Ryback pinned him clean in the middle with the Shellshock in about three minutes. Then the Summer stuff happened. Then he was a lumberjack in the main event with the likes of guys like Jack Swagger. Where the only people that stood out were Big Show and New Day. Seth Vs. Kane main event where Kane goes over and Big Show looks the best. In 2015. Seems legit.
  18. It will be. After he caught that New Day beatdown last week, I assume tonight we're getting Cena Vs. Kofi & then Dolph can get his match that was supposed to happen at the PPV. I hope I'm wrong. I'd rather have a returning suprise wrestler win it than that. I'm really struggling this year to think of too many things that I have enjoyed from any promotion in the world. Year-end awards are going to be really hard for me. Ibushi/Nakamura didn't blow me away from Wrestle Kingdom. Sasha/Bayley Ironman was just OK to me, Brooklyn was better but I thought Sasha/Becky was better than both. There's been good Cena matches, I really enjoyed his first one with Owens but that was more for the shock of Owens going over clean. It was wrestled like an Indy spotfest match.
  19. How many Candian posters we have on here? I was so confused at first. Was listening to MLW Podcast, they were speculating that Hell in a Cell will be the send off for John Cena, for his time off. I assume he'll be gone until Royal Rumble? Since that PPV is going to have Brock ending his feud with The Undertaker & most likely Seth Rollins retaining over Kane. What are they going to do for the time between the end of that show & the Royal Rumble?
  20. The worst part about having the part-time guys is that WWE seems to only pit them against one another. So we're never going to get any new guy getting a rub from an old guy. It's always old guy Vs. old guy where the winner doesn't matter and the next night on RAW both of them aren't wrestling on the show. Rock, Taker, Triple H, Brock, etc. I didn't want to see Triple H Vs. Brock or Brock Vs. The Undertaker. Let alone three fucking times each. Same as I don't care to see Rock Vs. Brock anymore or Rock Vs. Triple H or Taker against any of them either. It's a waste of time.
  21. I would like to see them do a show, sort of like Table for 3, but instead of the guys shooting the shit while eating, have them watch an old show & commentate on it. I would also like to see more Legends of Wrestling Roundtable discussions.
  22. I'm surprised WWE hasn't tried to latch onto the popularity of Fantasy play more. They could even throw some people a bone by putting them on shows they might not other have been on just to shake up the points. Like throwing Zack Ryder on RAW & giving him an upset win or whatever.
  23. Another thing that I like which NXT does, that they used to do on the main shows (but don't seem to do anymore) is how for big shows, NXT will do new, different things to make them feel special. Like Demon Bàlor or Tyler Breeze's special entrances. We need more of that stuff, to differentiate the shows, ya know? Things like that make a big impact on me, personally, so I'm sure others feel the same when watching big shows. Like, one of the best parts of Wrestlemania for me each year was seeing the new, different Undertaker entrance or what the stage/set-up looked like. It's a big part of the spectacle for me. Wrestlemania 28? 29? Whichever one it was, where Bray Wyatt came out with his band playing his theme wearing plague doctor masks, that was so awesome. I've liked him pretty much ever since, even if he's floundered around the midcard in pretty meaningless feuds & matches. His entrance is still so great.
  24. Thank you for this thread. I was one of the people certainly questioning if I should submit anything or not, despite how much I have tried to watch.

    NXT Takeover Respect

    There's many discussions about Kurt Angle around here. You're not going to see him finish too highly in most lists in the GWE project, if I were a betting man. The same is true of other names, such as Shawn Michaels. Whom in other corners of the internet always competes for number one of all-time. Here, there are some people that won't have him Top 100. There's just some posters here that have seen so much wrestling, from so many eras from so many different parts of the world, it's pretty overwhelming. Like, we've had two years to put a ballot together. There's just a few months left & I already know I can't get to everyone & it's going to make me feel bad. To the point where I've questioned even submitting a ballot. I'm completely ignorant on Lucha, for example, and when I try to sit down & watch it & educate myself on people like El Dandy or Atlantis, I just lose interest. I can't get into it. I'm the same way for old footage, too. I can't watch grainy black & white clips on YouTube.
