Like no one else will have the same opinion...

I think James will cut me some slack

1. Viscera
2. HHH (although he was never THAT over. More of a constant second fiddle)

1. Tatanka

2. Rey Mysterio

the cat

stone cold

Always liked Chavo Guerrero.

Never could get into JBL.

Alex Wright

The Undertaker

Guy who was never the most-over but who I always liked: Fit Finlay

Guy that was very over but who I could never get into: Mr Anderson/Kennedy

lol i thought you weren't coming back?

Also, TNA doesn't count.

Underrated: Rob Conway

Overrated: Chyna

DITTO on the Triple H

Brian Kendrick


Sting or Rock

Sean O'haire

HHH-way over rated and like was said before he always played second fiddle. He's like Lex Luger when Sting and Flair wooooooooooooooo! were really over in the late 80s-early 90s.

Papa Shongo

Mr. Kennedy; just never really got his schtick and why anyone gave a fuck about him in WWE; then went to TNA and became even more irrelevant.

And HHH

I've never been a HHH fan. I've respected the fact that he did what it took to get to the top, but in the end, I've enjoyed many more HHH matches than Mr. Kennedy/Anderson matches.

Soft Spot: Mike Knox

Cold Shoulder: Jeff Hardy

Billy Kidman
Mick Foley

Soft Spot: SETEVE BLACKMAN

Cold Shoulder: Edge as singles. Don't get me wrong, he was good and fun but he never resonated with me on the level he was presented on. Always saw him as John Morrison. Good rotation main eventer but nothing more.

Soft Spot: Dean Malenko

Cold Shoulder: Jeff Hardy

SS Kanyon
CS The Miz

Soft Spot: Test
Cold Shoulder: Rey Mysterio - he's had great matches, but I can never buy him as a top guy.

disco inferno
brock lesnar

soft spot: bulldog

cold shoulder: either eddie or rey

Soft Spot: D'Lo Brown

Cold Shoulder: Diesel

Soft Spot: Mean Street Posse
Cold Shoulder: Stone Cold

Marty Jannety (yeah fuck you, I was 9)

The Undertaker

1. Kofi Kingston

2. Sheamus

The undertaker? Woah! He's like only got one of the best rasslemania records ever.

Raven outside of ECW
Hogan

1. D'Lo Brown

2. Hardy Boyz

soft spot Hardcore Holly

cold shoulder struggling to think

Jeff Jarrett is one of my favourite guys. Can't believe more people don't like him.

<font color=goldenrod>Soft Spot: Deuce 'n Domino. Seriously I loved these guys - the gimmick was ridiculous, but it made them stand out.

Cold: Bret Hart. I'll never say the guy wasn't super talented or anything, but I just never had the raging hard on for him that most of the internet has.</font>

Soft Spot: Arn Anderson

Cold Shoulder: Shawn Michaels

Soft Spot: Dean Malenko. His feud with Chris Jericho in 97-98 is why I'm a wrestling fan to this day.

Cold Shoulder: Randy Orton. I just do not see what everyone else apparently sees in him, never have, probably never will.

1. wrath


2. torrie wilson though i did find her hott as hell.

I am a big Jeff Jarrett fan.

Yeah, Alive-Kronik is another one of my favourites.

1. Disco Inferno.
2. John Cena.

D'Lo Brown

Big Show

Soft Spot: Tazz in his WWE run (I never watched ECW, but after seeing Tazz beat Angle at the Rumble I was clamoring for this guy to get huge. Then he faded a bit and I was pretty bummed. But when he had his one-off with Austin on RAW (when he was wearing a Tazz t-shirt instead of the Alliance one) I was hoping Tazz would take Austin down and ride that momentum to a meaningful WWE run. Whoops. Never happened.

Cold Shoulder: Eddie Guerrero. He was a technician and I appreciated him in the ring, but never was really huge on him. Thought his main event run was just stupid and not believable. (and part of me agrees with Nash that pro wrestling died at WMXX because of the Guerrero/Benoit ending).

Honorable mention to Rey Mysterio, but after seeing him live a couple years back I came around on him. That guy flies around the ring and makes it look effortless. And his match with Cody Rhodes at Mania a couple years ago was really good.

Soft Spot - Goldust, loved the character from the start, seemed to challenge the norms and he really stood out. Had hoped he would reach a few main event feuds over the title, but the card was stacked at his peak.

Cold Shoulder - Edge, never really got invested in any of his storylines and felt that he got tiresome and it will prob do his legacy the world of good that he was forced to retire younger.

Soft Spot: JOHN MORRISON. Yes, I know he couldn't cut a promo to save his life, but jesus christ he could go in the ring.

Cold SHoulder: Ryback. Fuck this guy

Soft spot: Justin Credible...not sure why

Cold shoulder: Edge...liked him, but never really got into him during his WWE/World champ run

Goldust... awesome character.

Randy Orton.... he's okay, counters nicely with the RKO but eh.. I see him as more of a plan B guy.

Soft Spot: Tie between Alex Wright and Kofi Kingston

Cold Shoulder: Hulk Hogan

Anybody who says they weren't a Hogan fan growing up is lying.

I dunno, America #1/I'm a real American/USA USA USA might not translate as well in civilized countries.

British Bulldog was our Hogan and he had better hair.

The daft dreadlocks? Mint.

Soft spot: Meng/Haku

Cold Shoulder: Lex Luger

I didn't really start giving a shit about wrestling until 96 -97. This is probably why.

I think he's entertaining but I don't like the whole "America, fuck yeah" vibe/gimmick.

Soft Spot: Shelton Benjamin
Cold Shoulder: Rey Mysterio/ Edge

Test
Randy Orton

Soft Spot: Ted DiBiase Jr... more specifically face Ted DiBiase Jr.

Cold Shoulder: Tough to think of one for some reason. I guess Jeff Hardy.

Kevin Thorn

Mr. Kennedy/Sheamus

Ted has always been really awesome to me.

Fuck... yes.

Now, or back when you were little. People claim they have always disliked Hogan and I think they base it on the past 10 years and leave out they were Hogan fans when they were 7 years old because they feel they lose Smark cred.

I'm the most brilliant wrestling mind around and I freely admit I loved Hogan in the WWF and WCW. He was the best face of the 90's and best heel of the 90's.

He was also the best face of the 80s. When I was little I remember watching SNME and when Real American hit I would cheer the TV. His no selling was legendary lol. Punch, punch, punch, hulk up, punch, "YOU!" block, punch, punch, punch, irish whip, big boot, leg drop.
