Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

[ColePens]

Bayley is actually the best in ring performer of the 4HW

Edge was the best wwe heel of the last 15 yrs

HBK a B+ player during his last run b4 retirement.

That unpopular one on HBK has rustled my jimmies!

Stole the show at WM24 with a old man who couldn't move. Pure storytelling.

Put on one of the GOAT WWE matches at WM25 against Taker.

Told an amazing story through the Rumble of needing to fight Taker only to (by fingertips) lose his grip and go out. Went on to main event mania in an amazing pt 2 of the Taker/HBK story.

Is it unpopular to say Daniel Bryan is legitimately one of the greatest of all time?

The Usos are one of the greatest tag teams in history, although maybe more people came around to that one, I don’t know.

No.. these are not unpopular. People have been saying that about DB as soon as he came to WWE and he solidified his claim after WM30.

I personally think this heel run solidified it for him. I’ve never seen someone so universally loved flip the switch so quickly and become universally hated as quick as he did.

I addressed your second point. This incarnation of the Usos is fantastic. But face painting good guy Usos were one of the most boring teams of that era for me.

 

[Disclose]

To me the USO’s is just another tag team in a company that doesn’t know what to do with tag teams.

Revival, for me, is without a doubt the best team In wwe.

But like most issues, it wasn't the Usos problem. That was WWE booking them like it was a 90s tag team.

Most issues are WWE's booking fault.

They were but they were still putting on great matches with The Shield, Rhodes Bros, Wyatts.

The heel turn gave them new identity, character and they got to show that they have a super unique promo.

I also think Usos vs. New Day is one of the greatest Hell in a Cell matches of all time.

I agree with this. Bryan was very, very good pre and post Mania 30. One of the best of the decade. This heel run though is a whole other level considering how beloved he was. After the turn and its success I think he has to be considered one of the best of all time, at least definitely within WWE's history.

 

[GKJ]

The Usos were always good, their gimmick change and heel turn was just overdue.

 

[Alex Jones]

Taker is the last remnant of an era where wrestlers had actual gimmicks beyond more than just a name.

How many other current wrestlers can you think of with "The" at the front of their name, followed by a profession?

Singles wrestlers, that is.....tag teams don't count.

I kind of want gimmicks back.

Everyone today just feels the same. They're pretty much all portrayed as regular people that happen to have one or two defining characteristics and a catchphrase. I think you need some level of wrestling ridiculousness.

Hasn't Bryan won PWI's yearly award for best technical wrestler so many times that they named the award after him?

 

[Sheppy]

Kenny Omega is the best all around performer on the planet.

Kevin Owens is the best all around talent in the company (WWE) right now.

Bobby Lashley was always awful.

Lita & Trish couldn’t hold a candle to half of the current women’s roster.

Ric Flair was insanely overrated as an in ring worker.

Kurt Angle should be a top 3 worker of all time.

 

[ColePens]

@Sheppy values storytelling very little. This I can tell.

To the first, yes. Bryan's in ring peak is very high and was established before he ever came to WWE. The rare ability to be great as a heel or, even more difficult, as a face. Now that he's one of the best promos in wrestling there's really no doubt. He's an all time total package along the lines of Savage or Jericho.

As for the second... nah. Just fine in ring, nothing noteworthy on promos, suburban gangster gimmick that I find unintentionally funny. I'm not very high on tag team wrestling in general but the Usos scream 5/10 to me.

 

[BonMorrison]

Also on Usos being one of the GOAT tag team boat.

I think Revival kind of suck tbh, there’s my unpopular one.

 

[Disclose]

Gimmicks are cool and all. I’m the one defending Undertaker... but to me Revival best matches are more memorable than Usos by far...

 

[PBandJ]

I don't see much special in Drew McIntyre.

Big Evil Taker is best Taker.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

to add to the Taker ones:

this is by far his best theme and look...




also, 'My Time' is HHH's best theme music

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I don't see much special in Drew McIntyre.

Big Evil Taker is best Taker.

I like Drew. He looks monstrous, he's fast, I like his gimmick. I enjoy watching his matches too.

I don't know what you're talking about. Wrestling Observer's Technical Wrestler Award is named after some non-WWE jobber called Bryan Danielson. He probably only fights in the Tokyo Dome. ****** stars.

Triple H would have been a main eventer no matter who he married.

I don’t think it’s unpopular. Pre quad tear Hunter was excellent, and he was sitting in on production meetings from 1998 I believe.

truth

famously Austin's 96 KOTR win and push was actually for HHH. But it was taken away as punishment for the Curtain Call

 

[JackSlater]

Triple H would have been a main eventer no matter who he married.

He was in the main event before he was married. Would he have been in the main event if he didn't make friends with (and be the lackey of) several big stars in the company? Maybe, or he may not have been able to escape being the Greenwich Snob. Him being a big body guy probably helped in WWF.
