Maryse is the hottest diva of all time. Her accent makes her even hotter.

Nigel McGuinness is horrible on the microphone.
He and Tazz should never be allowed on another wrestling broadcast as long as they live.

Also, the Headbangers were never a good tag team.

Ok gonna have to stop you there. Headbangers are probably top 3 in terms of under-rated tag teams.

Headbangers were awesome, why such blasphemy!

I care so little about Alberto Del Rio I don't even watch his matches even though he is awesome at wrestling

Johnny Curtis should be currently being groomed to be the next wrestling mega-star.

Mr. Del Rio is deeply saddened.

JBL needs to work with ADR and teach him how to not cut cookie-cutter promos.

I think this whole Shield storyline will end up in disappointment.
It's actually Paul Heyman's involvement that has made CM Punk less interesting to me.
AJ crazy chick>AJ scandal
Cena throws punches like a bitch.
Damien Sandow will be a World Heavyweight champion by Summer '13.
Ziggler can takes bumps like a boss!

This is one of the more popular opinions possible.

Let's not say something we're going to regret here.

I also think that MiTB needs to have contenders who had never held the WWE/WHC titles. I thought the way they had Cena win the briefcase was pointless. Given the fact that Cena usually gets a title shot opportunity more often than others.

Deuce 'n' Domino are one of the more underrated tag teams ever.

Agreed

Agreed

I didn't really think Eddie Guerrero was all that good.

It's because Deadie wasn't

Yeah he was pretty Johnny B. Badd. Marc Mero was good though.

Alright, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Christian.

Fuck one, kill one, push one as the main eventer of your wrestling company.

Aaaaaand go.

Push heel Christian. Kill Eddie for obvious reasons. Fuck Benoit because I heard he's killer in bed.

Good answer.

Those seem to be contradictions. Also almost every attitude mark out there says bring back 24/7. It's not a very unpopular opinion.

That's right!

- I enjoyed Flo Rida's performance at WM27
- I also enjoyed the Brodus Dance Intermission

Thought of another one:

The 1992 Royal Rumble wasn't the best of all time.
The 1991 Rumble was better.

'99 Royal Rumble was great.

That is an uncommon opinion?

Contrary to that quite popular opinion: I do not rate the 99 Rumble as the ring never filled up at any point.

Not sure if this qualifies as an "unpopular" opinion or not, but I think Randy Orton should be a top main-event face right now......at or close to Cena's current level.

nope, i hate this idea. so, good one.

i... :
like cena's character.
want to see morrison back in a lucha mask.
think demolition > legion of doom.
think punk's boring.
think american badass taker was the worst character of all time.
don't understand why bryan is popular.
ignore everything noid posts.
wanted santino to win the world title back when that was a thing for 15 seconds.
hate ryder.
hate puns for sig move names.
have always been "meh" on austin.
think the rock/mankind "this is your life" segment sucked.
really want a legit female divison.
hate the "diva" name for it.
am still pissy luke robinson lost tough enough.
don't want to see lesnar again.
think titles should only be defended on ppvs.
prefer prefer interesting character/bad wrestler over the other way around.

Sadly while I am enjoying "The Attitude Era" DVD I also find myself critiquing things I once found so awesome.

Most people I know hate that rumble so I assumed that popular opinion was on their side.

I don't think the Attitude era was overrated, per se, I just think people romanticized it a great deal for a long time.

Sin Cara should return to Mexico. I really didn't think he did as well as I hoped so far.

Fire Evan Bourne already. He's most likely going to return high on synthetic weed, making it strike three for him.

Vince needs to step down already and have Hunter take the reins.

Don't really care about Ryback although more because of how he's been pushed since its way too soon for him to be in the main event and got bored of every big man/monster type being pushed solely because of a streak.

Outside of the Legend Killer period, never have been a big fan of Orton. Never liked the RKO being done with just 1 hand.

Think Cena is one of the laziest wrestlers ever at the top position when it comes to promos and selling in the ring. Needs the other person to start a promo war in order for him to be motivated enough to create a string of good promos (ex. Punk, Rock, Batista).

Don't consider Divas wrestling the equivalent of a piss break and its not because most Layla matches involve her making a subtle boob grab at some point :shifty:

Wrestling will be like boxing, and die a slow death.

It will never be cool or popular again in my lifetime.

It will take years to actually die though. Like a lot years.

Yeah, the effort to get a chick is about the same no matter her assets, so may as well go for your true preference. :y:

Yes. I'm glad we have Youtube to document the less flattering Attitude Era moments which will probably never be sold on a commercial release.

You enjoyed it so much you went back in time and made it happen at the wrong WM.

ECW was an entire company built around garbage wrestling. I want the HC title and 24/7 rule as a small vein running through a larger presentation as something that can provide seriously good hardcore action and Keystone Kops-style slapstick through the same channel.

Really? I thought the prevailing opinion was more "24/7 killed the integrity of the HC title." which honestly I never quite understood the rationale behind that. I'm sure I've heard people clamoring for it to be brought back sans 24/7.

When Vince McMahon retires or dies, WWE will either be reborn and rejuvenated under HHH and Stephanie's watch, or else what you said. It just depends on what they do.

Ol' Booger Red Undertaker was his best work.

The only Ric Flair matches I ever enjoyed were with Randy Savage at Wrestlemania 8 and with HBK at Wrestlemania 24.

Alberto Del Rio deserves a lengthy title run. He's never had a great story to work with.

Edge was never very entertaining outside of his tag team with Christian.

Skip Sheffield in Nexus was more bad ass than Ryback.

Jack Swagger's World title run was one of my personal favorites ever.

TNA is really fucking good right now.

Power and Glory are one of the most underrated tag teams ever. So are Pretty Wonderful. Yes, what I'm getting at is that Paul Roma was pretty good.

I find it highly unpopular that Husky Harris has not been moved to the main roster as Brae Wyatt and that the Primetime Players keep getting the shaft and no run with the WWE Tag Team titles. What's next....3MB beats team Hell No for the titles?

I disagree with 1, 3, 4, and 7

Which validates their unpopularity.

I think 7 is a popular opinion

Power and Glory and Pretty Wonderful bring back pretty awesome memories. But I am a mark for that era of WCW.

Nah. Blindly hating TNA is the popular opinion of the day.

Shockmaster should have been World Champion :shifty:

The only true fun era of wrestling was 84-92

John Cena is the reason for the season

3MB are awesome and you will show them respect.

Indeed.

TNA, along with Smackdown, is always "really fucking good" at any given point. It's a pretty popular opinion.

Damien Sandow doesn't do it for me. Being the Genius 4.0 is NOT going to bring in the crowds. He falls into the same trap of Carlito and Ken Kennedy: people think he has good mic skills because he talks funny.

*irrelevant

You're welcome

Nah, Sandow is the goods. He can go in the ring, too.

Plus only a real bad ass can wear pink tights and pull it off!!!

So could the Genius...
So could the Genius 2.0 (aka Dean Douglas)
So could the Genius 3.0 (aka Matt Stryker)

Sandow is better on the mic than all three of those. The voice helps obviously but his promos actually have content.

Maybe I was just too young to appreciate it, but I never saw Lanny Poffo have an awesome match. I remember him more as a manager than anything.

I wouldn't call Dean Douglas the Genius 2.0, either. Not really the same gimmick, him being portrayed as an ACTUAL teacher and all. Matt Striker was pretty much Dean Douglas 2.0, though.

Either way, no reason to nay-say. Sandow is pretty fucking good.

Swagger cut some killer promos. He was just booked horrendously

I never enjoyed Stone Cold Steve Austin as a face.

I agree, never did either.

He was never meant to be face. The turn in the crowds cheering for the bad guys and booing the good guys is what made him face. This is a pinnacle of when the wrestling fan dynamic of the business changed in the mide to late 90's. It was taboo and over the hill to cheer the guy with the big muscles that told you to say your prayers and eat your vitamins. Families stopped coming to wrestling events and the working class guys and gals who could relate with Austin's anti corporate, march to the beat of your own drum gimmick is why he started getting cheered. Hence Bret Hart being so pissed off at WM in their submission match when he got booed out the building and Austin was getting standing ovations.

I agree with everyone who's said AJ is not hot. Also I never hear anyone praise Aksana whilst I find her possibly one of the most incredible women to have been in WWE.

I find Christian so dull and can't stand most of his matches.

I don't really care for having an established tag team division.

Triple H was significantly better than Shawn Michaels.

It's her hair

Face Christian is awful

I don't get how people say tag wrestling draws. It's just a nice compliment, although I do enjoy tag wrestling

I don't have any statistics to back it, but I feel like the Hardy Boyz were a draw.

The Hardys were not the type that did guest shots on USA shows or make appearance on Fallon and Conan but people knew them. It's anecdotal but I've dated women who did not know or watch wrestling but they knew the Hardy Boys for one reason or another. I think their style and risks made them accessible to the mainstream in one form or another.

Yeah, Aksana had a unique look for a WWE Diva with her catsuit and saxophone theme.

Yep, don't get me wrong, I did *enjoy* a good percentage of what happened, but it's like has been said before, I think maybe on this board, The Attitude Era really aged badly.

For every HHH/Rock ladder match we got The Oddities, for every 'DX invades WCW' we got Mae Young and Mark Henry, and for every Lita/Trish we got Patterson vs. Briscoe in an evening gown match.

No era of pro wrestling was ever perfect, but I think people tend to look at that particular period like it was the everlasting epitome of awesome, when it was anything but.

I thought The Oddities and the Patterson/Brisco feud were hilarious and entertaining.

If it wasn't for The Oddities, I'd argue ICP has no purpose on Earth and should have been killed ages ago.

I found the short-lived Juniors Division on SmackDown! amusing.

Worse, I still think that. :-\

I found it amusing too, so you ain't alone.

I agree with a surprisingly lot of these. Especially the Wade Barrett bit. I can't put my finger on what it is, but I just don't want to see him as champion yet. Would love to see him take the IC Title from Kofi again, though.

They were outstanding in WCW and they keep Sabu employed:-\

Sabu is also vastly under rated, guy was innovative as fuck in the 90s, even with all the botches.

Another post I almost completely support.

I think Swagger should have been World Champion for much longer than he was, and probably should have held the title until Survivor Series at the earliest. And even then, I don't know if he should have lost it. He was tremendous, a breath of fresh air and just needed to be pushed as a guy who could back up his spot.

Also, as much as I am sure the man behind the character is hard working, dedicated, appreciates the business and is truly a worthy person of the spot he is in -- I just cannot get behind Ryback. I find him boring, 2D and I just can't buy into it. As Skip Sheffield, I totally got behind the dude.

Can't say enough good about Jack Swagger's World Title reign. I also think that he should have won the Breakout Battle Royal and gone against John Cena at TLC in 2009, and beaten Cena there and become WWE Champion. And that Swagger's cash-in should have happened at WrestleMania. Jack Swagger would have then been the first man to have been WWE, World Heavyweight and ECW Champion, and I think it would have been a great bragging right for him.

Also, does it seem to anyone else that the WWE sort of embraced that they were presenting Swagger as a Kurt Angle clone, and then stepped away from it, before stepping back into it again?

Kind of agree with this, although I do love Ziggler. I think he can be World Champ material, but right now he's just not someone I want to see with the belt.

I haven't watched it in some time, so I'm not sure if my tastes have changed, but I feel that Billy Kidman vs. Paul London from No Mercy 2004 is one of the best professional matches I have ever seen. Seriously.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lftJZhTgGRU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I say this as a big Paul London mark, but as someone who never really got into Kidman. I recognise that was always pretty good, but just never marked out for him like I do other guys.

the KISS Demon should have been WCW Champion :shifty:

Die.

(Not really)

But seriously...

99% of wrestling music is fucking terrible.

lol. It's almost a joke that people praise it so much now while saying how crazy of a concept it is to have had enjoyed it.

It was Smackdown. There wasn't a lot of stock put into it. But it wasn't really anything special and it didn't get Swagger or the title over. There were some unique moments that came from it. It just didn't serve much of a purpose.

David Arquette was a talented and deserving champion.

I also like John Cena.

Vince Russo was the greatest WCW Champion of all time :shifty:

Just like Khali.

I don't get why Christian is praised.... or Swagger. I find them both boring as hell.

I find Edge to be overrated and never could consider him a legit world champ.

I think Survivor Series is a less important ppv than MITB.
I generally can't stand WWE from the time period after SummerSlam until the Royal Rumble/WM build begins.

Backlash was always better than Rasslemania

*fistbump* That's so true. It's the same with Extreme Rules as well.

I also think Ziggler's overrated.

Attitude era main events were shit, they were basically boxing matches

punch

throw into something
stomp
