Okay, I'm not sure if this has been done here before, but I'mma do this anyway. Basically, you're going to state your own opinions on wrestling in general, regarding a superstar, PPV, promotion, whatever, regardless of how popular or unpopular it is among the IWC. They can be ridiculous, serious, heartfelt, whatever. I'll go so as to give you guys an idea of what I'm talking about.
~ To the contrary, I don't like a wrestler based on how good he/she is the ring. Sometimes, being good is entirely subjective. Some of my favorite wrestlers, such as Batista, Goldberg, and Ultimate Warrior, aren't very great in the ring, but I like 'em for their mere in-ring presence and character.
~ Mickie James and Traci Books are the most unattractive female wrestlers in Mainstream wrestling, IMO.
~ Lucha Libre is my favorite form of professional wrestling. From the folk heroes like Blue Demon, Santo, and Mil Mascaras, the great in-ring generals like Blue Panther, Ultimo Dragon (trained in lucha style), Ultimo Guerrero, Atlantis, and El Hijo De Santo, along with talent such as Cibernetico, El Elegido, Dos Caras Jr, Mistico, Volador Jr, and eccentric and recognizable faces like Rey Mysterio Jr, La Parka, Psicosis, and Konnan, I love it. The legends of the various masks, the tradition and importance they hold, the high flying nature of the wrestling, and the personalities all create a product I cherish more than any other wrestling out there. Not to mention, CMLL is the oldest professional wrestling promotion in the world.
~ Some of the guys highly regarded by the IWC such as Edge, MVP, Kennedy, and Cage, I consider 'em dull and boring. I do not like their characters, and I do not consider guys like Edge 'THE GREATEST HEEL OMGZ MIC SKILLS EPIC!'
~ Puroresu is beginning to grow on me. Guys like Kenta Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, and Mitsuharu Misawa OWN! My favorite japanese wrestlers are 1) Jushin Liger 2) Ultimo Dragon 3) Kenta Kobashi 4) Mitsuharu Misawa and 5) Masa Chono.
~ I consider the Attitude Era to be undeservingly highly regarded among wrestling fans. Now that I look back at it, the Attitude Era's wrestling product was kinda of terrible, with matches too often being on the outside. I'd say the storylines are basically what saved the Attitude Era, but compared to the 2000s actual wrestling product, it can't compare. Even the Federation Years of the 'E and early to mid 90s WCW had more classic matches than Attitude Era WWF.
~ I'm very cynical of second/third generational wrestlers, as I don't see the big deal in 'em debuting every five seconds. There was a thread made earlier about Reid Flair's debut. I honestly couldn't care less. If he's a good wrestler, awesome, but don't make a big deal out of his name. Guys like Ted DiBiase Jr and Cody Rhodes haven't really impressed me; they seem too much like carbon copies of Randy Orton. Guys like Dos Caras Jr, Randy Orton, The Rock, Mr. Perfect, Carlito, and Volador Jr. have earned my respect, however.
~ My favorite women's wrestlers as of now are Rain, Candice Michelle, Roxxi, Christy Hemme, and Taylor Wilde. I don't think Candice is as bad as people say she is, either.
I'll write in other opinions once I think of them. Also, you can comment on other people's opinions, but don't make a habit of actually arguing against their preferences and such.
