I think it is obivous that my choice is Kevin Nash and the One has Billy Gunn.
What is yours?
The Undertaker.
I know the guy isn't working as he used to, and is fairly sloppy now, but I still love the guy and any time I go to a show and he's there it's always a really great experience.

But the thing I wanna know, what is the deciding factor in what we "should or shouldn't" like?
Why shouldn't I like Test? Because other people don't?

I think he means guys that are past their prime, have bad gimmicks or just aren't very good wrestlers, but still appeal to you for some reason.
Guys such as Snitsky, Konnan, Stevie Ray, Eugene etc.
I used to have a soft spot for Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly, but I've fully recovered now.

That depends. Is Triple H in or out of fashion these days?
I like Trips and Michaels, but both seem to be largely liked by fandom. That changes fairly often, since Shawn Screwed BRet (waaaa) and Triple H is ruining the business. I like Matt Hardy, who the internet fans turned on (for using the internet) a while back, and I'm not sure it's become "okay" to like him again.
I don't know. Who does everyone hate? Who shouldn't I love? Anyone got a list so I can come up with a better answer?
Apparently (according to a majority of TPWW posters) I'm not supposed to like anything TNA-related, so I'll go with TNA wrestlers. All of them.

He DID say he picked ALL the TNA wrestlers.
That's just fucking stupid. They're not ALL good (they're not ALL bad either), and saying they are is just blind markism.
And before anyone says anything, I, and many others have stated that TNA DOES have good wrestlers, so don't try to turn this around on me.

Yeah, it's just the blind markism most people mock. That and people who actually think the shot is innnovative becaue ofa six sided mat, or mindlessly praise everything they do.
Actually, it's unfortunate that they have good wrestlers, because they're like WCW lite, which means good wrestlers and shitty, bland booking (And a worthless motherfucker on top)

Ric Flair
Considering his past with how he has shown his junk to more women than Ron Jeremy has, and the fact that he's been past his prime for the last 10 years in the ring, there is no reason why anyone should like him.
But once that theme music hits, and he walks that isle, I mark out like a little bitch.

Brock Lesnar. A lot of people seem to hate him, but if he's anywhere near as good nowadays as he was a few years ago, I'd give him the Heavyweight title if he came back to WWE.
Scott Steiner. I haven't seen him in TNA, so I don't know if he can even walk anymore, but back in WCW he was great.

Was there legit heat between the two before this match? Got that impression by Lesnars reactions to him at the beginning.

I doubt it. They both knew they were leaving then, so neither of them gave a shit about the match.
And for the record, the match wouldn't have been a Benoit/Angle classic, but it could have been a hell of a big man/brawl match.

Brock Lesnar developed into a very good in-ring performer by the time he left WWE, but the guy has zero personality and very little charisma. Put him in front of a mic and he's lost. So I don't see why all the hype surrounds him. As a "sports entertainer", he doesn't quite cut it.

He has plenty of charisma, so long as one is not retarded enough to dictate that Charisma is a verbal skill (It is not).

Nobody likes TNA because they have a six sided ring. The six sided ring is neither a detriment or an advantage for TNA; it's just what they use. It's really not a factor when deciding whether you're going to watch the show or not.
And the booking is pretty bland and shitty most of the time, but I blame a lot of that on the fact that they only have one hour of TV a week. At least they have good wrestling, which is something WWE has been seriously lacking.
by the way, I'm ashamed to say I still mark for Ultimate Warrior's old matches.

I know it isn't. It's an endless variety of intangibles which, in my opinion, Brock lacks the majority of (at least in front of a camera he does). And charisma is a natural thing... you can't just pick it up, or learn it. But, totally contradicting myself as ever (Hey, I'm NeanderCarl, the most self-contradicting poster in TPWW history! That's my... uh... thing :shifty: ), he DID seem more charismatic by the time he left than when he first arrived. Maybe he just felt more comfortable out there.
But he is nowhere near the league of the Hogans, Austins and Rocks (which I'm sure you would concur), and not even at the level of lesser guys like B.G. James, Big Show or Vampiro.
And finally, just to prove your point that charisma isn't neccessarily equated by verbal skills, I got one word: Goldberg. Super-charisma, but keep the mic away from him.

Nobody? Considering wrestling fans RIGHT HERE ON THIS SITE have used it, I'd say you're retarded or ignorant.
And you're making excuses for bland and boring wrestling on TV? Come on, leave that to WWE fans. TNA's supposed to be an alternative, not WWE lite.

I find TNA to be more entertaining than WWE. I haven't been really watching for that long (I only started up again probably 2 months ago.)
There are a good number of athletes in TNA, that are really entertaining for me personally. I like a lot of the guys in the X Division, the Paparazzis, Rhyno, I like Christian and Sting too (I don't dislike Sting like some folks do, I never was really into WCW a lot back in the day so I don't have that feeling that he is old and should be out of wrestling like some people.)
I can't stand Jeff Jarrett or Scott Steiner, guys like that. Just too bland to me. I don't like every single guy in TNA (I cannot stand Samoa Joe at all, I think he is terrible on the mic, cutting promos etc.) The stories are decent enough to keep me entertained, theres no real over saturation of any one angle and it seems there is more wrestling than there is in a WWE show (maybe because TNA is only an hour I dunno.) I also get the feeling that they give their wrestlers a little more freedom with their in ring repertoire than they do in WWE.
