IWC Approved Wrestlers
 

I feel like it's important that we compile a list of all the wrestlers that the internet wrestling community approves of so we can figure who we can cheer for in the future. So start naming wrestlers and we'll determine if they're APPROVED :y: or NOT APPROVED :n:




APPROVED:
AJ Styles
Austin Aries
Bobby Heenan
Bret Hart
Briscoes, Jay/Mark

PENDING

Approved is one of those words that if you say it over and over again repeatedly it loses all meaning. Try it.

Approved:
Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Shawn Michaels

Absolutely

Disapproved
John Cena

Approved but should be Disapproved
Kane

Added Batista and Cena to the NOT APPROVED :n: list

don't think there's much debate there

I would argue that face, konami code Batista is not approved.

Heel Batista is in a neutral zone.

Approved

Brian Danielson
Christian

I'd say R-Truth is not approved round here, even though he's not that bad at all.

Remember this is not your personal opinion, because your personal opinion is stupid. This is about the Internet Wrestling Community.

And the IWC generally doesn't bitch about Heel Batista.

William Regal is approved.

Kane is an interesting one, gonna make a new category for PENDING :y::n: wrestlers till we can sort this mess out

I saw this thread and instantly though Jericho, Punk, Michaels... in that order.

<font color=goldenrod>Zack Ryder is Approved</font>

The Rock and Steve Austin approved?

k gonna add that to pending

we'll see how they feel about him after Mania

Not approved:
Edge (face)

feel like this should be stickied

very important stuff we're dealing with

Not approved: "What" chants.

Approved:
Christian
Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Evan Bourne
John Morrison
William Regal

Neutral:
Batista
Chavo Guerrero
Carlito
Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre
Edge
Hart Dynasty
Jack Swagger :shifty:
John Cena
Mark Henry
Michael "The Miz" Mizanian
MVP
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
R-Truth
Shelton Benjamin
Zack Ryder


NOT APPROVED:
Cryme Tyme
Hornswoggle
Primo
Sheamus
The Great Khali

Approved: Trish Stratus, Mickie James,

Round here? :kiss:

The Miz is totally approved.

Doug Bashem, Val Venis, Paul Burchill, Spanky

insert short bland spotmonkey here.

I figured Drew McIntyre would've been approved.

WWKD and other mods, feel free to update the list as you see fit. No need to wait around for me to do it. Just please alphabetize your contributions. Thank you.

Approved

Ric Flair
Undertaker

You should make an asterisk for Cena. The IWC approves of his workrate and the man, but has hated his character and push for the last three years.

I disagree that most are that reasonable. The majority of the IWC says Cena sucks and that's that. Reason has nothing to do with it

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Hunter yet.... Where do we stand with him?

Also, A-Train = Approved. :y:

Approved:
Japanese people

<font color=goldenrod>Approved:
AJ Styles
D'Angelo Dinero
Daniels
Kevin Nash (charisma)
Sting

Not Approved:
Kevin Nash (workrate)
The Nasty Boys
Rick Steiner
Scott Steiner</font>

Not Approved: Hogan

Supreme why dont you just cheer for guys YOU like? ya know, based on your own opinion and all that. . .

I do now, and I will in the future. This is simply a research project. Relax, guy.

Rey Mysterio is approved when he's wrestling on the undercard and not getting pushed. When he's successful and a company gives a damn about him, he sucks.
This is academic.

put the Steiners on PENDING :y::n: for now. Not sure about them.

Added some commentators to the list

Not approved: X-Pac

Approved:
Chris Benoit

Brock Lesnar is approved.

Foley might be a split decision. WWE/WCW/ECW Foley approved. TNA Foley disapproved.

When alive, Benoit sucked, its weird though cos i love him now that he's taken the Boogeyman's worm eating gimmick to the extreme, so agreed

Disapproved - Kozlov, Khali and for some reason i've never liked Matt Hardy (Version1 aside naturally)

Approved:
Ted DiBiase
Scott Hall

I'm not really a huge fan of either, but they seem the type to be approved.

Apparently it is improper to use disapproved in the adjective form.

<font color=goldenrod>I propose that we split Jerry Lawler:

Approve Lawler as a heel (be it commentary or wrestling)

Face Lawler obviously sucks though</font>

Approved by me(wwe superstars and divas, Tna wrestlers,commentators)
Randy Orton

VerY informative too about RVD, Cade and Domino, thank you so much, where do you get your info?

Couldnt find the sign up sheet for The People's Grammar Website

To HBPunk:
Domino was at two fcw events recently, he resigned afterwords
Lance Cade resigned last year
hogan revealed on a radio show that rvd is going to tna

What does sarcasm mean?

Approved:- HHH

Not approved:- Hart Dynasty

what???

HBPunk: What does sarcasm mean?

Chris Jericho: I forgot because I'm the Best in the world at What I do
(Edge Spears Jericho)
Edge: A form of humor that is marked by mocking with irony, sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis. Insincerely saying something which is the opposite of one's intended meaning, often to emphasize how unbelievable or unlikely it sounds if taken literally, thereby illustrating the obvious nature of one's intended meaning.

So do our picks need to be approved by HBPunk or what?

If you could explain that in your own words, you can stay up late and watch Raw tomorrow night as a treat, go for it kid

The guy basically listed the entire rosters of two companies, past and present!

HBPunk: If you could explain that in your own words, you can stay up late and watch Raw tomorrow night as a treat, go for it kid

Stone cold: What?
Sgt. Slaughter: LoL, you Maggot

:| emmmm. . . anyone think the oscars are even gayer than the L word?

Not Approved: Kelly Kelly, Raw Guest Hosts,

Approved: Jay Lethal, ohh yeah.

Approved : Heel Doink (at least on TPWW)

Not Approved : ZZ Top as Guest Hosts

Pending : Big Show

Did they resign or re-sign? There is a crucial difference here.

thedamndest: Did they resign or re-sign? There is a crucial difference here.

They re-signed

Approved

Every single crusierweight wrestler ever (except for Rey now because he's not really a crusier anymore)

Disapproved:

Ultimate Warrior
Lex Luger
Demolition
Paul Roma
Jeff Jarrett

Nigel McGuinness/Desmond Wolfe Approved?

are they from Ring of Honor?

Then of course they are.

Two obvious ones: Eddie approved; Hunter not

Randy Orton (Badass Heel)

Randy Orton (Tweener/Face)

I added a few peeps, including RVD, some ROH people, and Japanese wrestlers in general.

<font color=goldenrod>Approved:
Alex Shelley

D'Lo Brown
Finlay (heel)
Gene Okerlund
Raven
Sean O'Haire
Stevie Richards

Not Approved:
Don West
Finlay (face)
Lex Luger
Tony Schiavone
Vince Russo

Pending:
Big Show (more opinions needed, though personally I would approve as he's been quite good almost his entire career, his only real down period was the mid 2000s)</font>

Approved bret hart.

Yeah, surely Bret Hart needs to be approved. Can you imagine the war that would erupt on here if he wasn't on that list?

Also, fairly certain James Steele is going to go on a rampage.

Finally!

Approved - Randy "The Ram" Robinson

Approved: Wade Barrett

What about Jerry Lynn?

Not Approved: CZW

CZW has a huge IWC following mainly because it's "big time" indies.

Not approved: Midget-heavy programming

Approved
Scott Steiner
Booker T

What about Goldust? I say approved. Old Goldust, anyway...stuttering Goldust...not so much

Steve McMichael, Pepper, Chloe disapproved.

HEY! Pepper is awesome.

Pepper and Pierre are IWC approved.

ROH as a whole. Also any independent wrestler that 90% of wrestling fans haven't heard of.

Approved : Moppy

also

Yoshi Tatsu
Lita
Maryse
Mike Knox
Mark Henry (heel)
Bubba Ray Dudley
D-Von Dudley (not the "Reverend D-Von" gimmick though...)
Christopher Nowinski

Submitted for NON-Approval:

MVP
Mark Henry (face)
Snitsky
Khali
Heidenreich

Heidenrape, though, is approved.

This is true. And the "I like what you do to babies" awkwardness between Heidenreich and Snitsky backstage at a pay-per-view is too in my book.

Also, I was gonna submit Hardcore Holly for approval but he should probably be pending as I don't know how the IWC in general feels about him. Would like to see JBL and Faarooq/Ron Simmons approved.

Sounds like you want everyone approved damny

Spinner belt is not approved.

Kane is simply pending? From what I've seen, Kane as a pretty huge fanbase on the net.

Approved: Every spot monkey in the following promotions: CHIKARA, Dragon Gate USA and ROH. Pick a wrestler. Doesn't matter who. They are all the same 5"5 no selling, cut the same " grrr, I'm intense, respect me", spot monkey that their fat loser fans jizz all over. OMGZ Eddie Edwards vs Davey Richards! Think of the workrate!!!

Gertner is the official voice of the IWC. <3

There are way too many wrestlers on the approved list.

I'd say there's not enough on the NOT APPROVED to balance it out

<font color=goldenrod>Come on, put this through. It'll at least remind us that Lawler USED to be awesome.

On a similar note:

APPROVED: JBL
NOT APPROVED: Bradshaw</font>
