Natalya. The grossest female wrestler of all time. I cant stand looking at her. I rather watch Nia Jax bathe in her own shit.

Ok, I totally don't understand the hate for Del Rio in ring. Outside of the ring is a different story.

I can’t even explain why but I just don’t care when he’s in the ring. Like, he’s not bad or anything, I’ve just never felt engaged by any of his matches.

This. Even though he was really good, it was just..... boring maybe? Maybe it was due to the pacing of his matches, I dunno. Was definitely a piss-break match. |

I thought he was so smooth in the ring. I loved Del Rio, especially that step up turnbuckle kick that he'd do.

Loved watching Del Rio. I'm guessing that his wrestling Sheamus 5x a week for months didn't do much for people who didn't like him lol

Always felt that Del Rio was extra hard on guys such as Kalisto and Rey Mysterio.

Maybe it is this too? His in-ring work was great, no question.... just meh. Hard to really put a logical reason as to why, nothing he did ever made me "care". |

I really enjoyed Del Rio, and was one of the only ones to love his face run......
When he made his return with Zeb Colter and then the whole League of Nations thing.... that was when I couldn't stand him, though. So I can get changing the channel for him during that part of his career. |

I never hesitated to "change the channel" when the Dudley Boyz competed on RAW during the original brand extension.

She has become worse than a characterture of herself. You want to see what the future version of Asuka looks like? Look at Natalya. If it wasn't for her current title run they would be neck and neck for the biggest running joke on the shows.

A similar thing happened with Lesnar during his intital WWE run but the difference was Lesnar had that big star aura right from the start so it felt way less forced. Plus him being the rare beast type guy that Vince loves that actually has great ring skills. |

Also Del Rio's pre-debut vignettes were tremendous. If my timeline is right, they were running at the same time as the Dashing Cody Rhodes ones.
Smackdown had great vignettes. |

I think a better question is who do you not change the channel on.

The Miz. I just could rarely invest in watching him as a serious top tier WWE talent. His matches are just pretend and always have been. Sure he has had a few good promo's at times but I can't stand him. He's the WOAT.

And moreover, there is no way you can enjoy the full scope of any show while skipping back and forth between products. It doesn't make sense. Now in a less critical note of you. I absolutely love Mox in AEW. I think he is the absolute top guy in the business right now from character to promo to matches. You really couldn't ask for a better World Champion, for my money. I do think he will lose to Omega on the 2nd but I don't think that story will end there. I do worry what his arch will be without the belt but I have faith. |

In today's WWE, I think it's easier for me to identify as to who doesn't make me change the channel. I don't watch WWE much, but I like these guys a lot.
1) Bray Wyatt "The Fiend" 2) Randy Orton 3) Retribution 4) Roman Reigns All of these guys stand out in some way and connect with the audience. Furthermore, most of these guys are good in the ring and actually know how to 'sell' and 'tell a story' in the ring...an art form that has almost been completely lost by the new generation by the way, which makes me wonder as to what they're teaching down there at the Performance Center. The actual calibre of Westling is quite high, but these guys are coming out of the Performance Centre without any clue on how to tell a story or sell moves. Everything is just a spot fest these days. May as well be ice-dancing or figure skating in there. That's my challenge to the WWE, AEW, and any wrestling promotion these days: 1) Create characters and gimmicks that the fans can connect with. No more generic "first names" and "last names." Bring back gimmicks and characters. The Fiend, Undertaker, Mankind, Goldust, Edge, Big Bossman, etc., CHARACTERS that pull the audience in and/or cater to a certain demographic. 2) Tell a story in the ring. Bring back the art of selling. Stop using finishers as high spots FFS. Go listen to Bret Hart on interviews. He says the same thing. |
