The Return of Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

[Keith]

Piper was an excellent promo but he never really stayed in the WWF long enough to do much of note. Many of his feuds were never blown off due to his frequent comings and goings, Rick Rude and Bad News in particular.

During one of his many returns in the mid 90s, they suddenly started giving him the legend and "one of the all-time greats" treatment. This is kind of where they lost me on Piper.

Thinking back I prefer Piper as a heel. He still has plenty of charisma as a face and there are moments I enjoy. Its just some of his random comments in interviews which just seem gibblish that I don't find entertaining. Plus he went a bit OTT at times. I liked his run as WWF President and feud with Goldust. Also enjoyed his WCW run for the most part. His face character there was more grounded. But still had a bit of the Piper wildness.

Piper is one of the GOAT heels of all time IMO, I pretty much agree with you about how he was as a face, Keith. I didn't hate him but he did get a little too much at time.

Piper was on GOAT tier levels of character......pretty good for a guy who wouldn't ever have a 5* classic.

This Becky Lynch year long title run has been pretty bad

I am in strong agreement with that. We got practically one good match out of it, which was with Sasha at HIAC. The other Sasha match and the Asuka matches were decent but will ultimately be forgotten by this time next year.

Plus I was already kind of fed up with pseudo-McGregor her bit before she even won the title.

She was doomed from the start. You can’t go from Ronda Rousey....

to Lacey Evans

Idk if this is unpopular but Hollywood Hogan is my favorite Hogan

Here’s my unpopular opinion Lacey Evans gets way to much hate. She isn’t terrible by any means she’s just a little green.

I actually really liked the babyface version of Hollywood Hogan we saw in the WWF, with the red and yellow boas while coming out to Voodoo Child. They should have stuck with that longer.

No I mean the NWO black and white Hogan is my favorite, that black and white vignette with like the slowed down video gives me goosebumps

I’m pissed off that the face version of Hollywood Hogan is in 2k20 and not the NWO

I didn’t mean that in a disrespectful manner. But the drop off in star power is obvious

That I can agree on. They didn’t really seem to have a plan after mania it’s not like Rousey leaving was a surprise.

This is 100% the best Hogan and IM(unpopular)O Voodoo Child is his GOAT theme. Here's 24 minutes of it.
