WWE Monday Night Raw Live Discussion Thread - June 18th, 2012

What the fuck are you talking about? Terry Funk didn't even start wrestling hardcore matches until he'd already proven himself as one of the GOAT's in twenty-plus years worth of technical matches. What you don't know about wrestling could seriously fill a book. As far as the George Steele comment goes, I see no reason why that takes the pop away from Steamboat, who actually won the match.

You really should quit now.

And you should really stop thinking HBK is overrated

Just out of curiosity where would you place HBK on the list of wrestling's all-time greats?

Why would I stop thinking it when its true? He's just one of the many wrestlers that's been salivated over by the IWC for far too long. It's the same with guys like Batista, who was good, but nowhere near as good as some people make him out to be.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's "true", certainly a strong opinion shared by quite a few. TBH I think it's becoming popular on the IWC actually to think he's overrated. I never heard anyone call him that until I got online.

That's why I mentioned Batista being overrated as well, its part and parcel of the IWC mentality to pretty much overrate anyone. For that matter, as much as I love Terry Funk, I can imagine some people overrate him too. Basically, every single wrestler is overrated depending on who's eyes are viewing their accomplishments. To simply say one is better than the other without having any kind of basis to back that up is wrong though, and that is what ViperRKO was doing.

Now Batista is most definitely overrated. One of the many reasons 2005-7 was so miserable for me. I also agree just about anyone could be overrated by any one of us.

Batista was insanely overrated. Fuji is right. Almost every wrestler is overrated. You can't say who's better because everybody has a different opinion.

I'm glad Batista is gone from WWE and hopes he never gets an eagerness to return.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I was never bothered by Batista actually. I may be a frequent internet user when it comes to wrestling, and I may critique a lot, but there are a lot of guys that I like that others find horrible. It all comes down to who you are and how you back your argument (if there is one) about who you like, and therefore, who is over or underrated.

I honestly started to like Batista near the end of his run when he was feuding with Cena and he actually started to grow character.

 

[Death Dealer]

Batista? You mean that fucking scrub who got beat by duct tape right?

Mainly referring to the night he quit. He actually impressed me.

Getting thrown through the floor off a car. That was impressive. :rofl:

His final run was awesome I thought I was just trolling about the tape.

Hell yea, Batista's heel run leading up to his departure was great. I'd rate it amongst one of the best heel runs in recent WWE.
