Used to like them, can't stand em now

Booker T. What the hell happened?!

 

He used to put on very good high energy matches, and now he's just caught in a moveset with slow kicks and even slower knee drops. And the scissor kick is an awful finish, kick the guy in the gut, let me hunch over for half an hour, then drop a harmless looking legdrop to the back of his head.

 

I miss the missle dropkick, I miss the good matches.

I'd guess lack of motivation due to all the years of burial.

i agree about Booker, he's just too slow now.

 

HHH, i was a big fan since his DX days until he tore his quad in 2001. Now i can't stand him, not because he's a bad wrestler, just because he neeeeeever loses a match and is lways the champion, it's so repetitive.

William Regal. Fuck this slow, boring, non-stiff jobber. I want the sociopathic antichrist of technical wrestling that was Steven Regal back.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I can't stand him now, but over the past few years I've learned not to expect much from an RVD match.

See T, Booker.

Booker T for all the reasons mentioned above.

 

Randy Orton. I used to like him as a mid-card heel from Fall 2003 all the way to this past summer, but as a face, he's unbearable. And I really hate the signal for the RKO.

Flair

Booker

Angle

RVD

Benoit (not as much as the others, but still enough to list here)

Low Ki. He's the HHH of the rest of the wrestling world!

As much as I hate to say it, I'll add Angle and Jericho myself.

Booker T-Basically what's been said so far.

 

John Cena-He was looking like he had potential in the ring, now he looks like he has wasted potential.

 

Ric Flair-He's always been a man with little offense, but it's getting rediculous lately.

 

Val Venis- Not because of his own fault. I think he wrestles better now than when he was being pushed. He's got charisma as well. So watching him languish on heat makes me despise watching him.

 

Chris Jericho-Haven't liked him since his WCW run. His mic work is boring now to me.

 

HBK-Well I could never stand him, but....his current character is just hard to believe for me in terms of kayfabe. I respect that hes a changed man outside of the ring, but we need some sort of a character tweak even if it means going back to what worked in the past.

Cena also needs a better finish. His little fireman's carry drop is pretty weak

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

I'd like Angle more if he didn't punch so much. A legit wrestler shouldn't punch so much, especially when his punches look weak. Angle should use either forearm strikes or European uppercuts, because they fit him better, and because they'd have to be better than his punches.

[Guest LooneyTune]

RVD and Booker T. I bought the RVD DVD despite this, since almost all of the matches were from a time he didn't decide to say "I dont give a shit" and go through the motions.

 

Booker hasn't been entertaining since 2002, when he was carried by Goldust in those funny segments.

[Guest hhheld_down]

chris jericho is just becoming really annoying on the mic, i like his in ring work but whenever he gets on the mic i groan

[Guest Fook_Theta]

I've got a slightly unusual nomination.

 

Sting. Loved him as a baby face, loved some parts of NWO Sting and the build up with Hogan. Would have likely loved him if he would have set different priorities for his post WCW-career. However, he did not and frankly unless he was to come back hotter than ever, fuck him and his attitude.

[CanadianChick 0]

I wouldn't say "can't stand him", but I'll nominate Hurricane. In part, it's because he's hardly on TV and when he is, it's for 5 seconds. He was good in the last part of WCW, pretty funny in the Alliance, and for a year after. Then he got boring and cliche. And now, he's a silly looking person with green hair who gets squashed by big guys.

 

I guess it's more used to care, but not anymore.

Did I miss something? What happend with Sting post-Hogan feud? I didn't start reading internet wrestling news until after WCW folded.

Randy Orton- I thought Orton was fan-fucking-tastic when he started the RNN updates and throughout his 7 month IC title regin, but since the face turn has become insanely bland & boring.

 

John Cena- Once again the face turn has made him very boring in my opinion.

 

Shawn Michaels- He was one of my favorite wrestlers back in the mid '90s but since his return I think he has just soiled his legacy.

 

Edge- During his days in the Brood & as a tag team with Christian I thought Edge was great but since his singles career started and didnt have Christian to support him he has sucked. Have to admit though, I think hes starting to show a lil more potiental again now with his "Im going to go insane if I dont win the title" gimmick.

The "can't stand" guys

 

John Cena - Nothing new.

The Dudleys - Cool when they came in, extremely stale now.

Eugene - Funny at first, but the gimmick got old fast.

 

The "guys I can still stand, but like less"

 

Christian - He's been boring for a while

Victoria - Liked her psycho gimmick, don't like her face role.

[tbondrage99 0]

Hmmmm yeah add Victoria to my list as well. Im sure there are a ton of other guys out ther too that I cant think of at the moment.

More towards his professional attitude or lack thereof. I believe he's currently somewhere doing shitty shows with Ted Dibiase. I'm all for finding Jesus or what have you, but it is silly to waste your time with such endevours when you have enough promo power and decent body for his age compared to the other guys. By now he could have worked two or three solid promo-based feuds to get some people over.

 

Call me selfish, but if you're a modern legend with a decent body and talent, you should be out there in the best place to showcase it. Even if it was nothing but working for one of the big Japan organizations, or talent scout. Anything but whatever he's doing professionally now.

Look at it from Sting's POV. When he was in wrestling, he was involved in drinking, drugs, and he almost lost the woman he loved. By turning to religion he was able to get a different perspective on things, and look at the bigger picture. Why should he get back in deep with the same line of work that almost cost him his marriage and self-respect when he doesn't have to ?

[Guest LooneyTune]

I'm sure someone having self-respect isn't as important as entertaining people in a business that almost ruined his life... Pfft. I expected to hear something like "Sting refused to put people over", not whining about a guy turning to religion, and not being someone who rubs it in peoples faces every week (cough:ShawnMichaels:cough).

[Guest MikeSC]

I almost feel good that people I've LONG thought were insanely overrated are getting blasted here.

 

RVD was NEVER that good. He was a brutally overrated performer who replaced talent with flips and flops. Booker T was decent in WCW, but he was clearly several steps behind WWE performers. He has not made up the difference.

 

And Sting hasn't had a legitimately good match since the last time he faced Vader. He's been the drizzling shits for years now.

-=Mike

...And, yes, Jericho as a face on the mic is brutal. And Randy Orton is the most bland face I've seen in a long, long time...

[Guest Fook_Theta]

It isn't his turn to religion, it is his turn to religion and the following weird causation of deciding to run shitty shows out of Bumfuck, Idaho with Ted. Or wherever he was doing them.

 

He showed up in TNA for Christ's sake. Even a run down Sting could pad a few shitty ppvs into a good profit. By now though if the rumors of a Sting vs Rock showdown at Wrestlemania were squashed, it would seem McMahon wouldn't care even if he did want to come back. He honestly should have taken a nice year off and then came back as atleast hot shit, drawing plenty of flies.

[Youth N Asia 0]

RVD might not have been that GOOD, but he was very entertaining.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Sting doing a show dedicated to Christianity and helping people turn their lives to God has to be judged? I seriously doubt anything on those was intended to be anything but a promotional advertisement for Churches, and he wasn't paid much for it, if anything.

 

That would be like insulting someone for participating in the Make A Wish Foundation and visiting a shithole.

Kinda off topic here but isnt Hulk Hogan the most requested person that sick kids wanted to see?
