Anybody can come on these boards and find something to say about WWe that's negative, aggressive or just down-right bitchy.
No challenge there.
Everybody has done it.
However, the great thing about these boards is that your argument has to stand up to logical debate. So lets take an example:

They wrestle like men, fist to fist, hand to hand. And could put on one hell of a show booked right, but they won't be so don't worry.

No saving grace? Eddie Guerroro is in great form and has been for the last couple of years, UnderTaker is doing what he does with aplomb, Mysterio, RVD, The Dudleys, even Booker T. All are bringing something to the table.
Add in the following Cena has, his ongoing feud with Dupree and you've got the basic ingredients for some good matches.
A Magic genie to improve ratings? NO-ONE would buy into that. Besides they've probably tried it already.
JBL - you're right in that you say that JBL isn't the problem. The problem there is that he is getting a sustained main event push.
People don't have a problem with wrestlers getting pushed in general, but when that wrestler has proven over the years that he has a limited moveset, no real speed, his strength is deserting him, he should have retired a couple of years ago, and hasn't made it onto Heat or Velocity for most of the last few years, then people are naturally going to have trouble buying into the idea of him suddenly being a main event contender.
So chalk that one off to shocking writing? fair enough.
Now then Bradshaw got his main event spot and what happened?
Eddie carried him for the entire match, had to do a horrendous blade job on himself and he's still suffering now.
Why?
To try and put Bradshaw over.
Did it work?
No.
People still know that he's shit and shouldn't be there when there are others more deserving of the spot.
As for comparing Undertaker and Bradshaw, as their styles are 'similar'?
They don't compare. Undertaker has been there, done that, sold the t-shirts. His moveset in comparison to Bradshaw's is massive, and he's proved that he doesn't need carried in a main event. Time and again.
The Undertaker rightfully carries the title 'Legend' where Bradshaw kind of deserves 'has-been & never should-be'
Pussy wrestling styles?
Apparently you like a brawl - so do I.
Doesn't mean that I can't appreciate the skill, talent and dedication that a lot of these other guys bring to the table.
Picking a few.....
Rey Mysterio can do things that I wouldn't have thought possible without batting an eyelid, and he takes big bumps all the time. Pussy? No.
Chris Benoit is labeled a great technical wrestler. If you've ever seen any of the Benoit/Angle matches, you'll never call him a pussy!
There are a hundred others, and while I enjoy a brawling type of match, it isn't everything.
That's one of the reason I wish Brock Lesnar would come back.
He had the build to be a complete Monster, a brawler. He had the skills to be technical, and the balls to be a high flyer. (alright he only done it once and landed nose-first, but it took courage anyway!)
So come back and defend your arguments.
Otherwise people will believe in your rep status.
