1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? CM Punk
2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. Been a Punk fan ever since early 05 which is when I first heard about him and went back and watched a lot of his ROH work and became a fan instantly just based on his feud with Raven alone let alone the rest of his work.
3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler Not particular something I dislike about him exactly but I dislike the people who came along jumping on his bandwagon after summer of Punk 2 acting like real fans then started turning against him as quick as they became fans. It's one thing to not like what he's done since then it's another to stop being a fan all together which shows you weren't really a fan to begin with.
4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? Jinder Mahal for sure because he brings nothing at all to the table. At least Khali has the freak show appeal Jinder is just a bland as fuck anti american guy which is usually a easy gimmick to gain heat and yet he still fails at it. Doesn't seem to have a bit of appeal in his in ring work either.

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? Daniel Bryan

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
When I bought ROH's first show to check out how good the company was. I was quickly of a fan then and in 2006 he just exploded as far as quality wrestling goes. He's doing awesome now as well.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler?
Nothing, really.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why?
I'll go with David Otunga just because I legit hate him.

Favourite wrestler? - Cody Rhodes. Been a fan since Legacy, became a massive fan after his return when drafted to SD, vs Christian, solid match.

Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. -
Technically I didn't like him from the start, as I didn't watch Wrestling during his early run with Hardcore Holly. What made me like him was the fact he was solid in the ring and as he went on did good promos, and although Ted was the mic piece for Legacy Cody always stood out to me.

What do you dislike about him? -
The main thing I dislike about him is the fact he still hasn't had a WOW OMG match, I know he has it in him but it just seems like he hasn't stepped up yet to go for it again. I also think his promos get boring at times.

Who is the worst current wrestler? -
Hornswoggle. Nuff said.

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler?
Kane

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
I have been a fan ever since he ripped the door of the HIAC all those years ago. Always been a fan of Kane even when he has been in some terrible angles. His whole look and persona is what won me over when I was a kid. Wrestling is meant to be about bigger than life characters and Kane is the perfect example of that. It has also been great that he has been around non-stop for all these years.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler
I don't like the way that he used to jump between face and heel so frequently, I think that it hurt the character by turning him face so fast whenever the crowd would start to cheer for him

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why?
Hornswoggle. He has been on WWE television for six years! I am not lying, he debuted back in 2006 and how this guy still has a job when WWE have released a lot of talented guys in the same time is a joke.

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler?
Ryback

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
Yeah, since Nexus. Didn't watch Tough Enough so didn't see him till nXt.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler?
I dislike that Smackdown isn't just 10 Ryback matches.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why?
Brian Danielson. He looks like a wimp, like a tax accountant geek who gets robbed on the way home from work by a gang of 12yr old hoodies. He's never had a drink/drugs and is a vegan, which in my mind makes him an absolute pussy. He weighs about 120lbs when soaking wet, has the build of an anorexic pre-pubescent Somalian girl, is small enough to qualify for leprechaun status, and has the personality of a chess player. His actual in ring 'ability' consists of doing dumb shit he learned by watching too many Bruce Lee films. The only reason he is slightly over is that wrestling fans are more nerdy than he is so consider him a role model and think they can get pussy like AJ IRL too, when in reality they are closet homosexuals who have never seen a vagina of a woman not related to them. His title reign drew pitiful ratings and singlehandedly made nobody care about Smackdown anymore.

I think you've pinpointed what I think is missing from Jericho. He's never really had one single match or fued to lean his career on that I can definitively point to. Same goes with short Heavyweight Title reign durations, major accomplishments or feats like RR, etc. He's just going to be remembered purely for his creativity and charisma, but nothing tangible like 20 Wrestlemania wins or something. Thats a good and a bad thing.

Sure he has the record for most IC Title reigns and the first Undisputed Champion, but the IC Title is no longer relevant and the UC is a long dead concept so it barely means anything when you bring it up anymore, plus I often forget those accomplishments as it is.

The only tangible thing I could possibly point to when talking about what that staple for Jericho's career is, would maybe be his fueds with Rey Mysterio. No matter what time period , promotion, angle or match type, these two delivered every fucking time.

I think the 2008 feud with HBK that got me back into wrestling after not watching it for a two and half years was his greatest feud ever. If I have to pin point something it's HBK in 2008 and also HBK in 2003 which led to an epic Mania match. It does suck that Jericho hasn't gotten the full glory, but I think he's very appreciated for putting guys over. Jericho was stuck in the era where Triple H was dominating Raw and he didn't put over anyone until Benoit. RVD, Kane, Booker T are the names that stood out for guys that Triple H beat. Jericho was in the prime of his career but never could get that big title run thanks to mostly Triple H. Then when he came back, he was pretty old but it was the best work of his career. I'm so happy with Jericho's career though as I watched his DVD. If anything he should have gotten a long title reign on SD in 2010 and not rush Jack Swagger's title reign by using the MITB. That was an awful booking decision.

This is interesting because I've seen people be fans of guys like Bryan Danielson, question is, were you fans when they first started? So I'll ask a few questions.

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? Wade Barrett (yeah he's injured but he's still one of my faves and I want to say someone different to the rest.

2. Did you like them from the start? From the start. I mean very start. Like when I paid £3 to go and see Celtic Wrestling and he pulled a killer promo against the Welsh, which infuriated the whole crowd. Then he put a monster match on, he really has had the talent since 2006.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler:- The fact he got injured when he did. He would definitely be in the world title picture had he not have been.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? I don't know, there's some shockers about. Derrick Bateman needs to go like. He is just awful. If I had to say a bigger star, it would be Jack Swagger. his character is literally a nothing. And his in-ring work is sub par to be fair.

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? CM Punk
2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. I have been back into wrestling for 9 months and I liked Punk from the start because of his mic skills. I started watching at the start of his weekly faceoffs with Johnny Ace, so there was a lot of good stuff to hear.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? Lord Tensai. Not because of his skills, but I just don't like his character at all. Too campy and his breathing is irritating

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? Randy Orton
2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. Not originally, took me a few months. I remember he had shoulder surgery in 2003 and he was doing Randy TV or something like that everything week on Raw, that's when I saw he had personality and took a liking to him.
3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler? His character has lost its appeal. He's become stale. He needs something to reenergize him
4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? Heath Slater. He brings nothing to the table. Atleast Khali draws the Indian market. Slater gets little reaction, sucks on the mic, and is replaceable in the ring.

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. No, I didn't because I didn't watch wrestling when he started but when I first saw him at ROH I thought "This is THE MAN"
3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler. There's nothing to dislike on the A Double.
4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? Gotta be Sheamus. I don't know why. I used to like the guy but since he turned face he became a freakin' superhero.

I'll do WWE first and then overall

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? Daniel Bryan

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. Have liked his work since I first saw in 05 or 06. Didn't began to Love his work until I met him right after the NXT cut back on the Indy's.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler He is still see as an Indy guy even though he has had success in WWE.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? For me this is tough, I don't really hate anybody but I'd probably say Kane (Sorry Troy). The guy hasn't done anything for me in at least 5 years. After the Shane feud really. He's competent but just doesn't interest me.


1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler? James Storm

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them. Yes, Loved AMW, Loved Beer Money Inc even more and enjoyed his singles feud with Rhyno in between the two.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler Because he is in TNA and has mostly been a tag wrestler he lacks National Credibility.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? Robbie T. The guy sucks at life.

1 Question. Who currently is your favorite wrestler?
2 Answer. Rey Mysterio

2 Question. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
2 Answer. When i first saw him in ECW 95/96. It was his matches against Psicosis in which i was glued to the screen cause i saw a guy how was so small and doing stuff that I never saw before, and from that point i was hooked and been a fan ever since. But the day he became one of my favorites was in WCW when i was watching matches against Eddie Guerrero and the match at halloween havoc '97 specifically . I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, just simple AMAZING.

3 Question. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler
3 Answer. His lack of English in his promos. And now that he can't stay healthy.

4 Question. Who is the worst current wrestler and why?
4 Answer. Hate is a strong word, but i HATE HEATH SLATER he is one of the worse guys I've seen, from his gimmick that is suppose to A ROCK STAR, yet he does nothing to look like a rock star except lick the air like he licks pussy. His look is also awful he just looks like a generic jobber who has just given up on himself. His wrestling ability is just as bad as his haircut i don't think I've ever seen him do anything that made me impressed or even say that was cool.

1 Question. Who currently is your favorite wrestler?
1 Answer. El Generico

2 Question. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
2 Answer. It's kinda a yes/no. Because the very first show i saw him on was ROH's Do or Die IV and he did some comedy stuff which i enjoyed but the wrestling wasn't that great and ROH never booked him again until 2007 when he and Steen faced the Briscoe's during one of their fifth year festival show and i watched him and Steen just tear it up against them and saw how hilarious th comedy act, Wrestling skills And ability to play a face while your tag partner is the DICK heel who just wants to kill these guy and watching Steen bully him into doing terrible stuff the them was great. So i did some research and found out it was Generico aka the guy i saw on the 2005 ROH show. (I hope that made sense) Oh plus his bumping and overselling is AWESOME the guy really knows how to take a beating

3 Question. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler
3 Answer. I would say his promo cause he doesn't speak English but that would me just picking the obvious plus it if he did start speaking English it would ruin his gimmick of Luchador/Canadian/Mexican so no nothing really.

4 Question. Who is the worst current wrestler and why? MR..... ANDERSON......ANDERSON
4 Answer. Guys been doing the same gimmick for 7 years now and it hasn't gotten him anywhere. He modifies it but it gets worse and worse he has no idea what he wants to do, One week he's walking and talking like Steve Austin next he's trying to be a comedian. It's awful now. Sure we can blame part of his failure on Randy for telling on him for dropping him on his head. But i like to blame it on his injury proneness the guy was contently getting injured in WWE and the lighter schedule's that TNA have are not working for him either. Wrestling skills are sloppy like a PORN STAR BLOWJOB 8D

1. Who currently is your favorite wrestler?
Randy Orton & Mickie James

2. Did you like them from the start? If not, explain why and what made you like them.
No. I wasn't a fan of when he originally debuted with the rather generic plucky face act he had going on. It wasn't until the recruitment into Evolution where he started to break out with his character and then even further into the Legend Killer.

Yes. In mainstream womens wrestling the first thing you notice about them is whether they or hot or not and I thought Mickie was. She also turned out to be a damn fine wrestler which was an added bonus and made her the total package in my opinion. Since then I went on to watch alot of her work prior to the main roster of WWE.

3. What do you dislike about your favorite wrestler?

I wouldn't say I dislike it, but I think Randy could definitley be better on the stick but given how his character is of very few words, it doesn't really matter to me. Sure he's not The Rock, but he's damn sure not horrible either and you can easily build any high profile feud with him and he'll be able to do his part to sell it.

It's no so much what I dislike about her, but more the case that I dislike she wasn't around earlier when Wrestling was in it's boom period so that she would have definitley got the notoriety that she deserves.

4. Who is the worst current wrestler and why?
I'm not gonna go with the worst, but the one I enjoy the least and that's John Cena. I'll take the flak for being a typical IWC mark but I just don't enjoy the guy and haven't done for years. 9 times out of 10 his mic work is cringeworthy and I don't enjoy his ring work either. If by any chance I happen to like anything he's involved in, it's usually because of the other guy, not him. If John Cena was to drop off the face of the wrestling world tommorow, I wouldn't miss him at all.

1. I really like the Undertaker.
2. I have liked watching him wrestle since he came out with Ted DiBiase, before that I did not really watch much wrestling.
3. The injuries and lack of time on the mat lately has really upset me.
4. The one wrestler I do not like right now is Randy Orton because of the different attitudes he has had in the past.
