Guest Deadbolt Report post Posted February 8, 2005 I've been watching a lot of Walters over the past 12 months and im very impressed by him. He reminds me alot of Chris Benoit and has the look of Benoit. He has a few unique moves and is a stand out performer for ROH. He has caryed the Pure wrestling title realy well. I was not a big fan of the concept of the pure wrestling title but since walters has carried it the title it has grown on me.Im sure in the future walters is going to hold the ROH world title. What do you think of John Walters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpww7 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 Actually Walters has pretty much effectivly killed the Pure Title. He's okay in the ring but a man can only take so many lungblowers in one match. No way he'll EVER be the ROH Champion..he's better than Jarrett though. He'd fit in good with TNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JebusNassedar Report post Posted February 8, 2005 I think running RoH topics in the TNA folder is hilarious. I also think that Walters has twice over lost his chance to get over. Shelley did his Lung Blower in his debut, and now Maven's doing it, and that's the one chance he really had. You dont sell Sports Entertainment with great wrestling, and it sucks.

Styles 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 This belongs in Misc. he's never been in TNA nor is he rumored to be. As for my thoughts on him, from what I've seen he's a typical solid ROH technical wrestler but lacks that star look or charisma... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natey2k4 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 John Walters in my opinion rules. He's a great wrestler.. and hopefully overtime, people will begin to notice that and he'll be the next Benoit. The guy is phenomenal in the ring.. if only had charisma. The quest now is.. is John Walters the next.. Dean Malenko.. or Chris Benoit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Malenko. Danielson is the next Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Nah, Danielson is the next Regal. I haven't seen a "next Benoit" yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natey2k4 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Danielson is definately better than Regal. I'm sorry.. I like Regal.. but Danielson is much more talented even then he was in his best days... and Regal has Charisma.. where's Danielsons? The next Regal could be more like an Austin Aries..

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 But Danielson works almost TOO technical of a style to be the next Benoit, as Benoit emotes quite a bit while in the ring, while I've been bored with a good portion of Danielson's work (unless his opponent was somebody with in-ring charisma out the ass, like Christopher Daniels), save for the heavy amounts of psychology involved.

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 I don't think I've seen anyone coming up in the indys who's as consistently as intense as Benoit was/is. Lots of good technicians, lots of good hybrid workers, but nobody who really has it amped up like he does. I enjoy some of Walters work, though he's a bit bland for my tastes.

Styles 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Because there's not enough action in the TNA folder to really require modding. I'm not saying it needs a folder mod (do we even have those anymore?!) it just seems like the regular mods rarely visit it and move/close threads that warrant them. But it's a moot point now, since this has been moved, thanks to whoever did it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
