Who do you GENUINELY enjoy watching wrestle?
 

Like, in the E, who doesn't have to be a part of some kind of storyline, or have some type of mic skill, and you genuinely would tune in if they put on a 30 minute match?

Personally, I'm a fan of Daniel Bryan, Kofi, Dolph, Orton, Trips, Sheamus depending on who he's wrestling, and R-Truth since he's pretty entertaining in the ring.

Evan Bourne.

Beth Phoenix
Natalya
Christian
Drew Mcintyre
Daniel Bryan
CM Punk AND the SES
Chris Jericho

...right now? Nobody in particular. I watch the show (RAW) and all, but the person i TRULY enjoyed watching WRESTLE...PURELY WRESTLE...was HBK and he's gone.

CM Punk
Chris Jericho
Daniel Bryan
Christian
Dolph Ziggler
Kane

The Miz, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, AJ Styles, Jay Lethal, Chris Jericho, Bryan Danielson, Mike Knox (I just did...), RVD, Jeff Hardy w/6-pack, Christian, Kurt Angle, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin

I have to say Jericho, Christian and Punk as well. Can't believe I forgot them.

Oh, Layla, Melina, and Jimmy Snuka's daughter as well.

It's hard to answer this question because it's truly hard to judge who deserves to be in the spotlight.

I mean, a 30 minute straight match is hard to carry even for the best, but if you mean who "genuinly" deserves to headline then I'd go with

Christian
Dolph Ziggler
Kofi Kingston
The Miz
Ted Dibiase
Cm Punk
Cody Rhodes

When you say headline, do you mean based off of just in-ring ability? If so, yeah thats what I mean. Like, it could be a 5 minute match, doesn't have to be 30, I just wanna know who are you a fan of if they were to show up at your local gym with a sparring buddy and put on a match, that you'd watch and love it. No promos. No feuds. No titles potentially changing hands, no Jim Ross being the best announcer ever, nothing.

When you put it like THAT, it's even MORE obvious there's no one who fits the bill nowadays.

Except for, again, HBK.

So theres no one else other than HBK that you enjoy watching wrestle?

Thanks for your time, that is all.

There's lots of people who can do that, it's all a matter if the WWE pushes them correctly.

Look at how many Iron Man matches there are? 6. Who would of thought after Bret Hart vs HBK there would be 5 more Iron Man matches. Hell! There were 2 before the Hart vs HBK one.

oh yeah forgot cody rhodes

...when u put it like THIS:

"Like, it could be a 5 minute match, doesn't have to be 30, I just wanna know who are you a fan of if they were to show up at your local gym with a sparring buddy and put on a match, that you'd watch and love it. No promos. No feuds. No titles potentially changing hands, no Jim Ross being the best announcer ever, nothing".

...NO ONE fits that bill today.

NO ONE.

When you put down specific circumstances like that, don't be surprised when nobody fits the bill.

I mean, I can genuinely enjoy a lot of people wrestling. But on that level? Probably Jericho and...Well...That's about it.

If someone big came down to here I'd probably go just to see them, but truly enjoying it? Less certain.

So basically, what Aqua Cactus said. Except nobody fitting that bill. Jericho's the only guy I can really name I know I'd enjoy on that level.

Yeah, they do.

* Alberto Del Rio
* Alex Riley
* Chavo Guerrero
* Chris Jericho
* Chris Masters (seriously)
* Christian
* CM Punk
* Curt Hawkins
* Daniel Bryan
* David Hart Smith
* Dolph Ziggler
* Drew McIntyre
* Gail Kim
* Heath Slater (more for curiosity than anything)
* Jack Swagger
* Joey Mercury
* John Morrison
* Justin Gabriel
* Kaval
* Kofi Kingston
* Layla (seriously)
* Michael McGillicutty
* Natalya
* Primo (I am so high on the dude, actually)
* The Miz
* Santino Marella (if he went 30 minutes, I would mark out)
* Skip Sheffield
* Tiffany (but perhaps not for pure reasons)
* Trent Barreta
* Tyson Kidd
* William Regal
* Yoshi Tatsu
* Zack Ryder (although I am losing interest in him, sadly)

Now, maybe I'm not giving you exactly what you wanted from this, but basically, if I heard that any of these people had a good showing on RAW, SmackDown! or NXT -- I would tune in to watch. I'm what we call a "wrestling fan," I guess.

In there, you also have some good workers like Evan Bourne, Matt Hardy, Kane, Triple H and The Undertaker who didn't make the list. That's not because I don't like them (I am a huge mark for some of them, actually), or that I don't enjoy them in the ring. They just don't sucker me into the program as well as those other guys do.

...either you are kidding and being sarcastic, or you are the most optimistic person ever.

It's Noid, and he is...

I only watch TNA so im gonna put my favorite to watch wrestle from tna!!

Aj Styles
Rob Terry (He can't wrestle I just love when he botches his moves)
Kurt Angle
Samoa Joe
Sabu
Sharkboy
Raven
Rhino
Kazarian
Desmond Wolfe
The Pope
Kevin Nash
MR ANDERSON

And the ones i hate to watch wrestle
ABYSS
RVD
Jay Lethal
The Bucks

WHAT??

lol i know that rob and sharkboy suck but they are funny to watch

Oh snap! Quoting a person and changing a word so the whole sentence changes! Yes!

The only thing missing was writing "Fixed*", and we would be posting like it was 2002.

Nice irony there.

Chris Jericho
Daniel Bryan
Evan Bourne
Kaval
CM Punk
Christian
AJ Styles
Chris Sabin
Alex Shelley
Desmond Wolfe
Kurt Angle

No discernible pattern there. I've never even heard of Ring of Honor.

Kane Knight is a douche. It's his gimmick. If everybody stopped responding to him, he'd probably quit.

...I actually wrote that sarcastically, that's it...not meaning to send a message or anything...

For argument's sake, I'm just going to say Dolph Ziggler and probably never return to this thread again.

That's a poor way to argue.

JERICHO

Felt like this warranted repeating...

A few of the wrestles I like a lot would be:

Jericho (since WCW and Ralphus as personal bodyguard period)
Edge
The Miz
Mayrse :shifty:
Kane and Big Show since even when both are in a creative slump, they still tend to produce good matches.
Christian
CM Punk
Undertaker
Kofi Kingston
Danielson/Bryan
Nexus as a whole although Barrett is the best one of the group.

Daniel Bryan Danielson
Chris Jericho
Edge
RKO
CM Punk

Here, I'm going to post Shadrick's explanation of the thread, so u can read it and THEN post ur answers, cause I get the feeling most people are just naming the people they like to see wrestle:

"Like, it could be a 5 minute match, doesn't have to be 30, I just wanna know who are you a fan of if they were to show up at your local gym with a sparring buddy and put on a match, that you'd watch and love it. No promos. No feuds. No titles potentially changing hands, no Jim Ross being the best announcer ever, nothing".

Like, I could watch Daniel Bryan wrestle a match with Hornswoggle. And ENJOY it because I'm entertained by his in-ring ability. Same with Orton. Kofi. Dolph. Jericho. Punk, Trips.

I don't ever watch WWE Superstars, but if I tuned in and saw any of those guys walking down the ramp for a match, I know i'd keep my channel locked because of them.

I'm not talking about who the WWE pushes and who doesn't, I'm talking about who do you GENUINELY enjoy watching work a match.

Motor City MachineGuns. Yeah they're a tag team but still awesome to watch, even the spot fests are interesting.

Other than that: Angle, Jericho and Punk.

WWE:
Randy Orton
Chris Jericho
Daniel Bryan
Wade Barrett


TNA:
MCMG
Kurt Angle
AJ Styles

Edge
CM Punk
Jericho
AJ Styles
The Miz

Kurt Angle, Low-Ki, AJ Styles, John Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Jericho

jericho,aj styles,punk,bryan,angle,douglas williams,morrison,Pope,kaz,Samoa joe,rvd,Kofi,christian,tyler black

Someone I would watch just in a match? With no storyline or fued? I'd say Christian was at the top of that list - which is handy, cos he hasn't had a decent fued/storyline/angle since leaving ECW.

Oddly enough, people like you who say that spend more time responding to me than most.

Hint: People who say "don't feed the troll" still feed the troll. So if that's your opinion, just posting this is a failure on your part.

That's how I answered. Sincerely, I enjoy the work of pretty much all those guys to a point where I would watch them. There are better workers that I wouldn't do that for.

For example: Primo Colon. The guy is nowhere near getting anything resembling a push (besides a random win on Superstars here or there), but I really, really enjoy his work. The guy really works as a heel. He's got the facial expressions, the attitude, and his ring work is really fucking good.

Odd that the unanimous vote here is Jericho, yet in that one "jobber" thread everyone is in love with Regal and feel he deserves better and no one mentioned in this thread. By that logic, would it not stand to reason the #1 match that could be enjoyed by anyone, either national TV or house show, without storyline or hooplah, bells, whistles, smoke, or mirrors would be Jericho v Regal?

I'm ONLY referring to in-ring, nothing past that. I do also enjoy watching Primo in the ring.

AJ Styles
Rhino
Alex Shelley
Chris Sabin
Kevin Nash
Eric Young
Christopher Daniels
Raven
Colt Cobana
THE Brian Kendrick
Jeff Hardy
Rob Van Dam
CM Punk
Santino Marella
Steve Austin
Christian
Chris Jericho
The Miz

I'd love to see it, but with the two guys both being heels, something will need to give. Regardless of if we are talking purely from an in-ring perspective or not, heel vs. heel matches and face vs. face matches do need to establish some sort of dynamic.

That all sort of goes to his in-ring stuff, though. He hasn't really had a chance to cut a promo or anything. In the ring, the guy seems so much more comfortable as a heel. His mannerisms, the little things he does, his facial expressions, etc. He reminds me of William Regal in that respect (a master of the little things).

Jericho, Punk, and Dragon.

Davey if I find ROH on HDNet.

Id have to go with Orton, Bourne and Jericho. Cena has his moments but I hate the 10 minute monologue he gets every week. I agree on Superstars and I wish they would just dump the show all together.

Clox. If he put on a 30 minute match I would watch it on a big screen with friends, beer and pizza.

Did I win my argument yet?

For me personally I enjoy watching Jericho, Bourne, Danielson, and Tyler Black.

Actually, I enjoy watching most of it, no matter who it is. I really enjoy going to indy shows and seeing the talent there.

So you're the one.

Punk
Angle
Danielson
RVD
Nattie Neidhart

Remember all the times you put me on ignore then took me off so you could respond to my comments?

Yes, I guess....not sure what you're talking about, but I am he!
