Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I can't stand intergender wrestling.

Reason being I can't buy it, maybe if it were Ronda or Shayna that would be a little different because they actually have legitimate fighting background at the highest level.

But I like my wrestling to be a little realistic and if you put say Kevin Owens against Liv Morgan, and have Liv win or have it be even competitive I find it ridiculous because I know that if it were real Kevin Owens would kick her ass up and down that Arena from one end to the other.

She would get her ass handed to her.

And because I know that's the case 95% of the time I can't suspend my disbelief to believe Liv Morgan VS Kevin Owens, or any man VS woman match even remotely competitive.

Now like I said there are possible exceptions to that, if you took Kevin Owens and put him against Ronda then yeah you can have Ronda win because she could legitimately grab his arm and snap it in half.

But those examples are few and far between so in general you shouldn't be doing it, unless you have a Rousey, or an Amanda Nunes somebody like that that's a super athlete.

Unpopular opinion: Tony Khan is going full UWF Herb Abrams.

The Bucks and TK are a detriment to the company they founded at this point.

Definitely unpopular...maybe the TK part, but this may be the most interesting thing the YB have done

I think you're a pretty decent candidate to just up and realize one of these days that it isn't any of these specific things ya don't like as much as ya just no longer care for the industry at all.

Unpopular? I would of thought this was the consensus at this point.

Interesting doesn't equal good or entertaining. The internet's response has been overwhelmingly apathetic to the Bucks in their heel turn. People boo them because they don't want to watch them, not because they're the bad guys.

This last thing was just days ago, the only things I have seen on X or reddit hasn't been anything different than the normal tribalism...

Look I like and enjoy aew, but I don't defend them blindly...tk hasn't helped them...but the elite going rogue appears to be a reset...it may work, it may not...but ppl routinely shitting on them bc they're not what they have been accustomed to for the last 20+ years...is odd to me (don't mean you are doing that)

Gonna give it a chance to play out before I label it amazing or awful

I don't think so, I've always hated intergender wrestling, I wouldn't want to see a man vs woman MMA fight, either, nor would I want to see the NFL do a game of football where they pit NFL players VS the cheerleaders.

certain things are a step to far.

Professional wrestling is a simulated fight that they are trying to convince you is real, and if you are trying to do that Liv Morgan can't be beating up Kevin Owens because your audience knows she can't.

My mistake.

The story is interesting, but it is still being acted out by very "meh" performers. At least Perry seems to have hit his stride with this character. The Bucks? They are as phony and fake as ever.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah I do credit them for trying and getting a longer angle going, but I'm skeptical because of the players involved. We shall see and willing to give it a chance

I'm still surprised that the person that has made the most lemonade out of the Brawl Im/Out lemon situation was f***ing Drew.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Man idc what people say I love death match wrestling.

Just something awesome about 2 guys beating she shit out of each other at some shitty gym in front of 200 people

 

[Troublesome 85]

Never was a lex luger fan i dont see the appeal

he was great teaming with Sting - coming out and ignoring the fans til Sting would turn around

 

[Masked]

I can't stand intergender wrestling.

It appeals to males who enjoy seeing women getting beaten up by men. I won't support any promotion that does this nonsense.

 

[The Marquis]

They need to close the Forbidden door for a few years.

Not very "forbidden" when it's held annually.

That's just the PPV. It seems to be creeping in more often all the time all year long. It's hard to say who they are these days without looking it up, because half the roster of Japanese and Mexican talent debuted while breaking down the "forbidden door" and ended up signing a contract with AEW later, blurring the lines. I wonder when the other companies are going to figure out what Tony is doing and close the door.

Either way, I don’t watch NJPW or AAAAA or any of those international promotions. So I’ve never heard of half the card anyway

This is kind of a stretch, lol.

"f*** yeah, domestic abuse!" - I mean, I'm not really a fan of it either especially watching a 250 pound man selling for a 100 pound woman.

 

[The Marquis]

I want wrestling to appear less "credible"

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Outside of a few comedy skits (which were hysterical), I've never liked watching Booker. Boring in the ring with the same move-set every match. Boring outside of the ring as well. And now, a terrible announcer. He's been a channel-change for me for the last 30 years.

He's remarkably bad. He just makes sounds or yells stuff that doesn't make a lick of sense.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Inter-gender wrestling is ok

Jimmy Lloyd vs Kasey Katal no rope exploding barbwire match is a favorite

Kasey is a bad ass tho and fine af

 

[Megahab]

I'm reminded of something someone said here a few years ago. That Booker T on commentary reminded them of Randy Savage on commentary in 1993-1994 and it is the perfect comparison. At least when I think of Booker's main roster commentary. I don't watch NXT so I'm not sure if he's improved at all.
