I never like Stone Cold or the Rock.
I love Triple H.
I think William Regal gets too much credit.

If you punch hard enough, and concentrate hard enough, you will not only break your monitor, but the person you intend to punch as well. At least I'm pretty sure that's how the internet works.Earth Child wrote:Over the internet? I'll try but I don't think the outcome will be good... :p

Agreed. Especially the Dudley's version.Big Red Machine wrote:I HATE diving headbutts. They make almost no sense at all, and don't seem to be anywhere near worth the risk.

I don't see how it makes sense to ram your opponents sensitive area with your own head. It should have been considered a low blow and gotten them disqualified, but for some reason everyone just sat there and thought "Let's just let them do it because they're The Dudley Boyz."Big Red Machine wrote:That's the only one that DOES make sense!Serujuunin wrote:Agreed.

No. They ALWAYS make sure that the ref is distracted with something (usually the other guy's partner).Serujuunin wrote:I don't see how it makes sense to ram your opponents sensitive area with your own head.

A lot of the time, this seems to be the announcer calling what they think was supposed to happen, rather than what actually did happen (like if the guy hits the arm, not the shoulder).Earth Child wrote:Half the time it looks like they miss as well

I have almost no respect for the wrestlers that let stuff from their personal lives like drinking, drug or stupid things like that interfere with wrestling shows. By that i mean, if you're supposed to be doing a PPV then don't get hammered or high before a show. I use Victory Road 2011 as my evidence of how bad it can turn out. People pay to watch those PPVs or tune in to watch those shows. Showing up messed up is an insult to them and those who showed up to said PPV or show completely clean. You're paid to show up and work, and you show up like that? It's the exact same thing as a person showing up to their place of business so messed up they can't work. You're damn right you deserve discipline or peoples anger. It's rude and just plain dumb.
Don't confuse that with my stance on wrestlers drinking or doing drugs on their own time. Thats their own business, its their life, let them do what they wish with it.
I personally have a much bigger problem with fans and the powers that be who make a wrestlers personal life into a problem. John Morrison's heat from this year is a perfect example. At the beginning of the year they guy was red hot; he had an awesome match against Miz for the title and he stole the show during the Rumble match. Suddenly, bc his girlfriend had heat with Trish (and Melina wasn't the only one), he's become the biggest piece of shit in many fans' eyes and the company has held him down for months! Morrison hasn't screwed up on TV; he's been just as excellent as always, but he's been almost buried over the summer and for what? bc his girlfriend has a big mouth? bc she likes to bang other ppl? bc he spoke up (unlike many others who only spoke anonymously) against non-regular performers getting WM matches over those who bust their asses year round? That's bs.Rabid619 wrote:This topic shows that we have varying opinions and debate over it without getting into spats. So i encourage all to post their opinions of things and people in wrestling.

I completely agree with you. And Melina's had heat with more people than just Trish, so why does it suddenly matter than she's a giant b*tch? Most of the other Divas in the locker room hated her before the Mania fiasco with Trish, but because she's a darling to those in charge it matters more? I don't think so. Just because someone has backstage sway doesn't mean their opinions matter more. I'm looking at you, Randy Orton.badnewzxl wrote:I personally have a much bigger problem with fans and the powers that be who make a wrestlers personal life into a problem.

They didn't even give him & Truth a PPV blowoff for their feud (which could only have made both characters more over). And fans in the IWC have taken this all as permission to just tear into the guy about NOTHING. Now everyone wants to just speculate about his future and talk about his personal life; ignoring the fact that in the ring, he's still one of the best/most entertaining guys they have. While they push Sheamus on SD!, they should do the same with Morrison on RAW....
And that's a crappy reason to hold him back (if that's the reason; it seems so). This is a personal issue that shouldn't affect his business relationship with WWE, yet it seems as though it has.Earth Child wrote:I think people's main gripe with Morrison was that he still defended Melina while she got accused of sleeping around and just being a general bitch.
People saw him as being whipped and therefore have possibly lost respect for him. I know I did
