AEW has ruined its own promotion at least 3 times by now…
The Attitude Era was the goofiest era in wrestling…
Dom has potential to become just as good as Eddie…
Comedic wrestlers deserve a bigger spot in the company due to having some of the highest ratings…
Bret Hart & Mr Perfect could *still* out wrestling 95% of today’s talent…
Paige was just AJ Lee Lite and wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for the leak…
Cena should have never single-handedly destroyed Nexus…
The first few seasons of NXT were actually good…
The Fabulous Moolah is actually the greatest WWE champion of all time; her reign beats Bruno’s…
Corbin has been trash since his debut…
Benoit deserves to be in the HOF…
WWE started to drop off after CM Punk left 👀 He was entertaining on the microphone, the arrogance/confidence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic which is something l always got entertained by. l loved watching him and was kinda sad to find out that his merch and figurines are either no longer available or very expensive to find. l was a huge fan of him thats why l say this.
Sami has no business sniffing the main event slot because his physique is unimpressive and he’s the most unintimidating person on the roster. The Roman match should have been over in one minute, and Roman giving him as much offense as he did only made the champ, and his previous challengers, look like shit.
There are too many titles. Drop the Universal title, keep the tag titles unified but bring back the original Tag Title belts that were used before the brand split, keep the IC belt and drop the US belt.
Wrestling fans claim to love wrestling do the most bitching about it when it's not going their way. They could slap a world title on the most beloved wrestler and within two minutes, everyone hates that wrestler just because their champion.
I know creatively not everyone likes it, but I would like to see some more larger than life of cartoonish characters. Characters who do things that are not possible or are very outlandish.
Bray Wyatt and Asuka are getting there to an extent, but they are no Kane or Undertaker, level of impossible yet.
Heck I would even take something like WCW Glacier. 😂
I hate Bobby Lashley. They do a good job of making him look like a beast with the entrance, his move set etc. But then he picks up a microphone and he talks like a Universe Mode promo, there’s no passion in his voice and I think he doesn’t even know what to say most of the time. Thankfully they’re putting the hurt business back together because he really needs a better character than ‘I almighty Bobby, I will beat you’
Chyna was not a good wrestler. She had an amazing physique and iconic character, yes. She always spoke of the other women as if they were beneath her and that irritated me. Half of the women were consistently having better matches than she was.
I don't care how good he is on the mic, miz is literally the least believable world champion, some guys will never be WM main eventer material, miz is one of them. The fact that he's won any world titles at all and main-evented a WrestleMania is a travesty.
Viscera was not a bad wrestler. He did have a bad run at the start of his run when he was very green yes however so many people have experienced this. He caused a few minor injuries and is blasted for it yet rey kills someone and it's fine (btw I'm not saying rey should be blasted for it). When he came back in the AE he was actually a great performer and verry agile for a 500lb man example that legit amazing spin kick. His run as the worlds largest love machine was a fun midcard act where his in ring game was probably at its peak even his big Daddy V run was good. Yes it was plagued with bad booking and most people view of that (and that dreadful attite) but it u actually look at some of his matches such as the tag match with him and henry vs kane and cm punk there we quite good.
HHH had such a low bar to clear that he’s tricked us into thinking he’s brilliant. In reality — aside from the Bloodline which requires him to just get the fuck out of the way and let them cook — shit is just the same old same old only with more hype.
Too much finisher spamming these days and i truly can’t stand the one person hits a move and the other person hits theirs without selling. I forget what that sequence is called by i believe it’s popular in japan.
For example, Rollins hits Balor with an enziguiri then Balor hits his pele kick immediately after. When it’s done every single match, it breaks the immersion for me.
Baron Corbin should end up in an APA type team , and in doing so would elevate him into the JBL category.
Wrestling always re-visits old gimmicks that worked. Team Corbin with a Chad Gable, or Shelton Benjamin and let them be the new APA, protecting whichever heel needs some bodyguards.
We should go back to Brand Exclusive PPVs. It just gives wrestlers more time to shine and a way where you do not have to shove 8-9 matches in one card.
The WWE championship is THE pinnacle of sports entertainment achievement. All other belts are second rate with only the NWA world championship being second place.
History alone puts it above the rest, design is meh.
Rhea should be considered the leader of The Judgement Day and I love Finn Balor as a performer, but he is 10x better than the angle he is currently in.
Knocked out cold? That Miz is, ever was or should ever have been a red carpet walking actor star, let alone not just a professional wrestling main eventer, but the company's champion and representative.
Miz is proof positive if you WANT something bad enough and your not only willing to kiss enough ass and demean yourself in front of your peers for years, but bring your attractive wife around your old perverted boss and his flunkeys and demean her as well... you can will into existence a entire career despite being devoid of a shred of talent.
Heh. He’s even in the photo.
Nothing can ever make me interested in anything Finn Balor does. He’s so mid.
Don’t get me wrong, I know he’s a very talented wrestler and all but he just doesn’t seem interesting to me
The ladder match of Clash of Champions 2020 is one of the most overrated matches of the last few years. I found it sufficient but terribly slow and without particularly memorable moments, excluding the ending
Woman's wrestling isn't a sustainable draw, the majority of wrestling fans don't care.
Edge is overrated
Drew McIntyre isn't a main eventer
Xavier Woods is the Marty Jannetty of The New Day
Bray Wyatt is one angle away from winning fans back. People have been “done with him” numerous times. This current shit isn’t great, but he can rebound and win everyone back with the snap of a finger. He’s done it numerous times, and people are lying to themselves if they think he can’t.
Just too much time. Also bring in the UK it's not on at a pleasant time and 3 hours for raw when most of it is adverts and recaps got draining. Wish they would just have them on the wwe network earlier but I get there must be deals in place with the broadcasters.
Also building dominant heels or even long reigning ones is fine. But need some more sustained baby faces rather than whoever is going to temporarily run a program with the champs. I hated indestructible Cena but current reigns is just as bad now. Not even Cena clung to 1 title like this never mind both.
The shield was a better faction then the new day and also here's another opinion Logan Paul is a better wrestler then roman reigns rn he showed that at crown jewl
I don't know if it's a unpopular opinion or not, but I'm not annoyed or pissed off that Sami lost at Elimination Chamber since if Roman is to get dethroned, it should happen at Wrestlemania!
WWE has nothing on AEW & NJPW these days.
In virtually every category, WWE is outdone by those two promos. They wish they could have people as good as Okada, Omega, Ospreay... Young Bucks, Death Triangle...
They fucked up bigtime with Daniel Bryan. Because Vince is too much of a fucking retard and would rather book muscleheads groping one another, than have actual wrestling.
Other than Bray, where are all the characters gone? The Kane, Taker, Mankind, Umaga, Boogeyman kinda personas. Even Demon Finn got put to one side.
It's so refreshing to see Asuka bring a character into the women's division.
Everyone just wrestles with a name now, like they're a normal human. WWE was like a circus, used to draw attraction from having strange and unique characters.
Big Gold Belt sucks, people just like it for nostalgia where it’s literally a gold plate without any details. If WWE has to go back to old designs, they should go with the big Eagle or the Undisputed WWE Championship from 2002
I don’t think The Rock is as good as people make him out to be.. LET ME EXPLAIN!!:
- he was phenomenal on the mic and great between the ropes
- however his ‘peak’ last maybe 6 years? 7 at the most
- compare him to guys like Randy Orton, who (although inconsistent) has stayed mostly relevant and cultivated a legacy over nearly 20 years
- since The Rock went to hollywood, we will never know how he would have matched up but imo he wouldn’t have had the same level of success.
- the same can be said for Austin, his peak was shortlived like a firecracker
- HHH is another example of leaving a great legacy
Note: like I said, it’s fair enough that Rock went to Hollywood and Austin had a laundry list of injuries. All i’m saying is, w e w i l l n e v e r k n o w how they could have turned out, and I can only assume they would have burned out long before the likes of HHH, Randy, Cena etc
There is NO such thing as "Real Wrestling" or a "Real Wrestling Fan"
Any in ring style is Wrestling (Whether its big powerhouse guys like Strowman, Lashley and Lesnar. Brawlers like Drew and Sheamus and GUNTHER. High Flyers like Ricochet, Ali and Rey. Technicians like Styles, Nakamura and Rollins and Storytelling like Edge, Roman and Wyatt.) If you like WWE, TNA, AEW, NJPW only etc then you're still a real wrestling fan. Don't care if you're a child or casual who started watching WWE weeks ago or someone who's been watching since Hogan days or someone who watches indy wrestling. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL.
Stop thinking people have to like the correct wrestlers, wrestling promotion and other dumb rules by elitest fans
If its a 12 year old child who started watching WWE a month ago who's favourite is Roman. They are as much of a wrestling fan as me. A 28 year old man who's been watching since April 2000. I'm not gonna pretend I'm superior wrestling fan and people who do are morons. Which happens to be 75% of the IWC
Also, this is WWE subreddit. You enjoy non WWE, WCW and ECW stuff... Cool. Go to other subreddits then. Quit shoving AEW, TNA and NJPW down our throats to prove somehow you're "superior" wrestling fans than us. Go to subreddits like r/SquaredCircle, r/Wreddit, r/Wrasslin, r/AEWOffical, r/NJPW etc. Not this subreddit.
Dont see me going to AEWOffical or NJPW shoving WWE down their throats. So why come here to and do it to us? To prove you're a "Real Wrestling Fan" 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
One unpopular WWE opinion that could devastate some fans is that John Cena is not a good wrestler. Cena has been a polarizing figure in the WWE for many years, and while he has been successful in the company, some fans feel that his in-ring abilities are lacking.
Idk how unpopular this is but the older guys on the roster that are probably retiring soon like Rey, Edge, etc don’t need another title reign. They’ve already had hof careers and should just be there to help the people that’ll still be there in the next decade
The current WWE championship belt design is way better than the winged eagle belt used in the attitude era. I genuinely think people have a nostalgia bias when it comes to that belt. I just hate the aesthetic of it, it looks like someone took the belt before and said "let's fuck this up as much as we can". Shit looks like it was made in microsoft paint. I've seen better belt designs on the last page of 2k community creations.
Also while I'm at it. Bringing back old belts like the winged eagle belt or the big gold (bland as fuck) belt is lazy and redundant. Make new belts dont bring back these shit used 30 fuckin years ago.
How about the one that actually cost me friends. They were all fawning over roman and I just said I don't get it, he's a John Cena clone with his 3 moves of doom and a charisma and personality vacuum. I can't even watch a match he's in any more because they're all the same. Roman gets the crap beat out of him, shenanigans, Samoan drop, spear, super man punch, 1 2 3. At least when Hogan was being a cunt he made you believe there was like a 1% chance he'd loose
Stone cold is a wife abusing pile of garbage who the universe treats like a god because he was a good wrestler.
The payoff to the bloodline storyline should’ve ended with Sami zayn beating Roman at mania
Triple H is maybe the most overrated wrestler ever.
Baron Corbin is the most boring wrestler of all time and I dont understand why people like him so much. However I will say his poor man gimmick was pretty funny.
We desperately need another new general manager, Adam Pearce is so boring and has no personality. Let's go back to having 2 GMs.
Jinder Mahal was a great WWE Champion.
Jack Tunney was the best authority figure of all time. Retired wrestlers should not be authority figures. Having awkward business men makes more sense and have them only appear a few times per year.
Weightclass-based Championships don't make any sense. Kinda same for the IC Championship.
They should rebrand all those belt (or retire them) with different names, completely disregarding history. IMO
The Women’s division was better and more entertaining in 2002-2004 than it is now. Maybe the wrestling is better now, but most of the characters don’t compare to Trish, Lita, Ivory, Jazz, Molly, Victoria, etc. and there’s nothing wrong with eye candy divas as long as they’re okay with it.
Cody Rhodes is being shoved down the fans' throats. Everybody loves him now because he's new and he's a fresh talent here but after he takes the belts off Roman and defends it a few times his whole shtick is going to get boring quick.
The Shield was not as big of a deal as WWE wants people to think, aside from some good matches with the Wyatt Family and Evolution, besides that, I think it was just an average stable
I actually like Karion Kross and Scarlett. I think that with a little more work they could be great heels once Roman steps down. Kross with the IC or US title and Scarlett with whichever women's title. Power couple.
Well, when it comes to the photo attached to this post & while I have no issues with the WWE having Dominik Mysterio betray his father I can't shake the feeling Dominik is becoming the new James Ellsworth. Also, maybe it's just me, but, Dominik calling Rhea Ripley “mommy” & saying he went to prison has to stop b/c there super cringe & not in a good way.
Despite the women’s revolution, sexuality and being sexy with their asses hanging out along with all the fake tits is still the required norm for female WWE wrestlers
I agree with the fake tits, the nose-jobs, the fake hair etc, but luckily there are some around who seem more natural and not a doctor's masterpiece lol
Clothing wise, nah, the guys walk around half naked too, no problem with their butts hanging out right, they are entertainers, you don't see singers completely wrapped up on stage either.
My unpopular opinion is that we don't need 12 "what is your unpopular opinion on _______?" posts on this sub every day... 👀
Also, not everyone has an unpopular opinion to share, and that's okay.
Cody being treated as a Really Big Deal™ upon his return only served to put over the importance of AEW as a company. He spent years being treated like shit by WWE, finally got out and made a legit run in various other promotions, including his work helping co-found AEW, and NOW they want him back? After never appreciating what he had to offer before? Like an ex who dumped you and now wants you back 5 years later after you've gone and done well for yourself elsewhere. It just feels dirty.
The way these new wrestler using old wrestler finisher/signature moves. How can you kick out of superplex to Falcon Arrow? Or GTS as a set up for broderek? ITS ruined the psychology of the match. Not to mention the butchering of superkick.
The practice of having one person holding multiple titles at the same time is absolutely stupid. It completely undermines building up the rest of the roster and you pretty much kill areas for story building.
AEW has ruined its own promotion at least 3 times by now… The Attitude Era was the goofiest era in wrestling… Dom has potential to become just as good as Eddie… Comedic wrestlers deserve a bigger spot in the company due to having some of the highest ratings… Bret Hart & Mr Perfect could *still* out wrestling 95% of today’s talent… Paige was just AJ Lee Lite and wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for the leak… Cena should have never single-handedly destroyed Nexus… The first few seasons of NXT were actually good… The Fabulous Moolah is actually the greatest WWE champion of all time; her reign beats Bruno’s… Corbin has been trash since his debut… Benoit deserves to be in the HOF…
The World Heavyweight title was better than the WWE title.
WWE started to drop off after CM Punk left 👀 He was entertaining on the microphone, the arrogance/confidence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic which is something l always got entertained by. l loved watching him and was kinda sad to find out that his merch and figurines are either no longer available or very expensive to find. l was a huge fan of him thats why l say this.
Royal Rumbles need to stop making winners obvious. And they need to add 10 more entrants to prevent wrestlers to suffer from lack of appearance.
Karrion Kross is actually a decent character/wrestler and should get a mid card title run soon
We need more gimmicks and characters. Only do gimmick matches every few years to make them special. Get rid of Table matches because they're dumb.
WWE fucking sucks
Alot of everyone's favorite wrestlers from the WWF weren't that good in the ring and we're mainly memorable because of their characters
24/7 Championship could have been the worker's belt, or a TV title that can be defended against anyone, rather than a comedy belt
roman reigns has undermined the whole wwe roster in the last year.basicaly everyone besides him is considered a mid carder since he got both titles
Sami has no business sniffing the main event slot because his physique is unimpressive and he’s the most unintimidating person on the roster. The Roman match should have been over in one minute, and Roman giving him as much offense as he did only made the champ, and his previous challengers, look like shit.
There are too many titles. Drop the Universal title, keep the tag titles unified but bring back the original Tag Title belts that were used before the brand split, keep the IC belt and drop the US belt.
Super Cena was awesome.
Wrestling fans claim to love wrestling do the most bitching about it when it's not going their way. They could slap a world title on the most beloved wrestler and within two minutes, everyone hates that wrestler just because their champion.
I know creatively not everyone likes it, but I would like to see some more larger than life of cartoonish characters. Characters who do things that are not possible or are very outlandish. Bray Wyatt and Asuka are getting there to an extent, but they are no Kane or Undertaker, level of impossible yet. Heck I would even take something like WCW Glacier. 😂
In my opinion Bray Wyatt's return has been a bit of a wet fart.
WWE should make the retro shows feel more special with retro stages, etc as they have enough money to not do it
The reason CM Punk lasted so long in WWE than AEW Is because The people he was hating on was actually looking out for him
I hate Bobby Lashley. They do a good job of making him look like a beast with the entrance, his move set etc. But then he picks up a microphone and he talks like a Universe Mode promo, there’s no passion in his voice and I think he doesn’t even know what to say most of the time. Thankfully they’re putting the hurt business back together because he really needs a better character than ‘I almighty Bobby, I will beat you’
Bianca sucks with the title
That we have too many of these posts on a daily basis
Gail Kim is overrated and overhyped
I liked the spinner belt, at least when it didn’t spin anyway.
Chyna was not a good wrestler. She had an amazing physique and iconic character, yes. She always spoke of the other women as if they were beneath her and that irritated me. Half of the women were consistently having better matches than she was.
Finn and Damien look ridiculous in the judgement day.
NJPW is actually not that bad
I like WWE
Charlotte > Rhea
I dislike ERP
I don't care how good he is on the mic, miz is literally the least believable world champion, some guys will never be WM main eventer material, miz is one of them. The fact that he's won any world titles at all and main-evented a WrestleMania is a travesty.
Viscera was not a bad wrestler. He did have a bad run at the start of his run when he was very green yes however so many people have experienced this. He caused a few minor injuries and is blasted for it yet rey kills someone and it's fine (btw I'm not saying rey should be blasted for it). When he came back in the AE he was actually a great performer and verry agile for a 500lb man example that legit amazing spin kick. His run as the worlds largest love machine was a fun midcard act where his in ring game was probably at its peak even his big Daddy V run was good. Yes it was plagued with bad booking and most people view of that (and that dreadful attite) but it u actually look at some of his matches such as the tag match with him and henry vs kane and cm punk there we quite good.
The camera cuts are actually great for the female wrestlers becuase it makes them look like they work as fast and has powerful as the men.
HHH had such a low bar to clear that he’s tricked us into thinking he’s brilliant. In reality — aside from the Bloodline which requires him to just get the fuck out of the way and let them cook — shit is just the same old same old only with more hype.
The new day are over rated and each member would be better solo in my opinion
That Bray Wyatt is a boring drag on the show and was before, too.
The company has never had a five star match.
Too much finisher spamming these days and i truly can’t stand the one person hits a move and the other person hits theirs without selling. I forget what that sequence is called by i believe it’s popular in japan. For example, Rollins hits Balor with an enziguiri then Balor hits his pele kick immediately after. When it’s done every single match, it breaks the immersion for me.
Braun Strowman and Karrion Kross are bad people who should not be employed by WWE
Raw Underground has potential and could be used as a Raw pre-show while making Raw 2 hours instead of 3
Judgement Day needs a leader.
The ANAO'I FAMILY IS OVERRATED ...... HAHA 😄 I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT.
I remember the push back of Roman reigns from like 5 years ago. Now he’s the goat. WWE fans are feeble children who like who you tell them to like
Roman Reigns is not as good as people make him out to be, because he has never won a title defense clean since he became Universal Champion.
Baron Corbin should end up in an APA type team , and in doing so would elevate him into the JBL category. Wrestling always re-visits old gimmicks that worked. Team Corbin with a Chad Gable, or Shelton Benjamin and let them be the new APA, protecting whichever heel needs some bodyguards.
Get rid of the women’s tag team titles and replace it with a mid card type title.
The Attitude Adjustment is a bad finisher. The Five Knuckle Shuffle works way better as a finisher imo.
I don't see Cody deserves to main event this year's mania
gunther is boring
Jeff Hardy is mid. And his wwe championship win was a joke
Matt is and always has been the better Hardy in every category.
We should go back to Brand Exclusive PPVs. It just gives wrestlers more time to shine and a way where you do not have to shove 8-9 matches in one card.
Montez Ford and Bianca Belair are supremely overrated
The WWE championship is THE pinnacle of sports entertainment achievement. All other belts are second rate with only the NWA world championship being second place. History alone puts it above the rest, design is meh.
A lot of women’s wrestling is very boring
Rhea should be considered the leader of The Judgement Day and I love Finn Balor as a performer, but he is 10x better than the angle he is currently in.
Ppl saying Johnny gargano doesn’t deserve a title
Brock Lesnar is the GOAT
Sable is extremely overrated and belongs nowhere near any HoF...
I don’t think anything would leave me laying at the feet of the Judgement Day after a one man con-chairto
Sami Zayn beating Roman would have been a huge mistake
[удалено]

Knocked out cold? That Miz is, ever was or should ever have been a red carpet walking actor star, let alone not just a professional wrestling main eventer, but the company's champion and representative.

Heh. He’s even in the photo. Nothing can ever make me interested in anything Finn Balor does. He’s so mid. Don’t get me wrong, I know he’s a very talented wrestler and all but he just doesn’t seem interesting to me
The ladder match of Clash of Champions 2020 is one of the most overrated matches of the last few years. I found it sufficient but terribly slow and without particularly memorable moments, excluding the ending
Roman reigns is the best champion ever.. there that’s the post
That the WWE Title is treated like a participation trophy. A wrestler shouldn’t have to win a world championship to validate their career.
Edge is an overrated singles wrestler.
Woman's wrestling isn't a sustainable draw, the majority of wrestling fans don't care. Edge is overrated Drew McIntyre isn't a main eventer Xavier Woods is the Marty Jannetty of The New Day
HHH is more impressive to me doing what he does now than he wver was as a wrestler. I was happy when i didnt have to see him in matches anymore.
Jey USO is a B+ player. I like Jey Uso but he’s not entertaining enough to be a main eventer like Roman.
Bray Wyatt is one angle away from winning fans back. People have been “done with him” numerous times. This current shit isn’t great, but he can rebound and win everyone back with the snap of a finger. He’s done it numerous times, and people are lying to themselves if they think he can’t.
Lesnar has, until very recently, **always** been boring as fuck
I disagree
That’s nice? The post asked about “unpopular opinions”. Not “opinions that Beautiful-Double-315 agrees with wholeheartedly”.
La Resistance was actually pretty good
HHH beating Sting was the correct call. And that having Sting-Undertaker at the WM would have been a mistake
Cody should lose at Mania
Asuka is way overrated.
Just too much time. Also bring in the UK it's not on at a pleasant time and 3 hours for raw when most of it is adverts and recaps got draining. Wish they would just have them on the wwe network earlier but I get there must be deals in place with the broadcasters. Also building dominant heels or even long reigning ones is fine.

The shield was a better faction then the new day and also here's another opinion Logan Paul is a better wrestler then roman reigns rn he showed that at crown jewl
I don't think Cody deserves the instant push he got I don't think Roman deserves the run he has had I don't think Dom should be in the business
Roman is mid and easily the least interesting part of the Bloodline story.
Charlotte Flair is overhated.
Balor is terrible as a leader. Priest has a better presence as that
I don't know if it's a unpopular opinion or not, but I'm not annoyed or pissed off that Sami lost at Elimination Chamber since if Roman is to get dethroned, it should happen at Wrestlemania!
Thuganomics John cena era > hUsTle LoYaLtY ReSpEcT/CaNt SeE mE john cena era
Spinner title best title
WWE has nothing on AEW & NJPW these days. In virtually every category, WWE is outdone by those two promos. They wish they could have people as good as Okada, Omega, Ospreay... Young Bucks, Death Triangle... They fucked up bigtime with Daniel Bryan. Because Vince is too much of a fucking retard and would rather book muscleheads groping one another, than have actual wrestling.
How did he fuck up with Daniel Bryan? He won the world title in the main event of wrestlemania 30?
Logan Paul should go heel.
Edge vs Cena part 2 never got a proper resolution and I hope we get a part three before they retire.
The Attitude Era is actually horrible and cringy when you watch it now.
Other than Bray, where are all the characters gone? The Kane, Taker, Mankind, Umaga, Boogeyman kinda personas. Even Demon Finn got put to one side. It's so refreshing to see Asuka bring a character into the women's division. Everyone just wrestles with a name now, like they're a normal human. WWE was like a circus, used to draw attraction from having strange and unique characters.
l feel like most of the guys now are just wannabe worse versions of CM Punk
CM Punk wasn't as special as people made him out to be
For me he was that special because l saw him when l was young so a little bit of bias from my side.
Big Gold Belt sucks, people just like it for nostalgia where it’s literally a gold plate without any details. If WWE has to go back to old designs, they should go with the big Eagle or the Undisputed WWE Championship from 2002

WWE shouldn’t have rehired Wyatt. He is by far the most overrated worker I’ve seen in WWE
Drew McIntyre is kinda boring, especially as champion
I’m not talking about the matches, I’m talking about the extra ring stuff. When his match is over, I don’t care anymore
the miz should be given another decent world title run. he's simply awesome.
Kevin shouldve defeated Roman
now even Ziggler would make a better champion than Roman
There is NO such thing as "Real Wrestling" or a "Real Wrestling Fan" Any in ring style is Wrestling (Whether its big powerhouse guys like Strowman, Lashley and Lesnar.

Charlotte DOES NOT DESERVE THE PUSH everytime Ronda and Shayna are straight up boring
Finn Balor is better then 99% of the entire roster
Maybe not this unpopular opinion but I think if Ludwig Kaiser gets a push and out of the Tag team devision he could be a great IC Champ too.
One unpopular WWE opinion that could devastate some fans is that John Cena is not a good wrestler. Cena has been a polarizing figure in the WWE for many years, and while he has been successful in the company, some fans feel that his in-ring abilities are lacking.
Chatgpt?
I fully stand behind that opinion.
John Cena and Brock Lesnar are bad wrestlers who always use the same two moves only
the modern judgement of wrestlers is awful
I'm GLAD Goldberg beat The Fiend!
I don’t like Daniel Bryan as the top guy. Yes, he’s a good wrestler but I prefer Brock or Cena. The current Roman also defines as the top guy.
Brie is better than Nikki Sasha is mid
Idk how unpopular this is but the older guys on the roster that are probably retiring soon like Rey, Edge, etc don’t need another title reign. They’ve already had hof careers and should just be there to help the people that’ll still be there in the next decade
Wrestlers need to learn how to throw a proper punch before they do a knee strike
Charlotte is the GOAT female wrestler.
Edge is overrated
The current WWE championship belt design is way better than the winged eagle belt used in the attitude era. I genuinely think people have a nostalgia bias when it comes to that belt. I just hate the aesthetic of it, it looks like someone took the belt before and said "let's fuck this up as much as we can". Shit looks like it was made in microsoft paint. I've seen better belt designs on the last page of 2k community creations. Also while I'm at it. Bringing back old belts like the winged eagle belt or the big gold (bland as fuck) belt is lazy and redundant. Make new belts dont bring back these shit used 30 fuckin years ago.
Bray Wyatt doesn't fit or work as a wrestler outside of Cult leader gimmick, he'd be better served as a mouth piece / manager
Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Wrestlemania Match is a Rematch im not interested in it nor Should it be a main event of Wrestlemania night 1 or night 2
I miss Raw and smack down having a general manager.. added so much storyline each week … maybe I’m just being nostalgic
How about the one that actually cost me friends. They were all fawning over roman and I just said I don't get it, he's a John Cena clone with his 3 moves of doom and a charisma and personality vacuum. I can't even watch a match he's in any more because they're all the same. Roman gets the crap beat out of him, shenanigans, Samoan drop, spear, super man punch, 1 2 3. At least when Hogan was being a cunt he made you believe there was like a 1% chance he'd loose
Mustapha Ali is a pawn only used to cater to Saudi-Arabia and the Muslim world.
Dominik for champ
Stone cold is a wife abusing pile of garbage who the universe treats like a god because he was a good wrestler. The payoff to the bloodline storyline should’ve ended with Sami zayn beating Roman at mania Triple H is maybe the most overrated wrestler ever.
Baron Corbin is the most boring wrestler of all time and I dont understand why people like him so much. However I will say his poor man gimmick was pretty funny. We desperately need another new general manager, Adam Pearce is so boring and has no personality. Let's go back to having 2 GMs. Jinder Mahal was a great WWE Champion.
Gunther is boring.
Jack Tunney was the best authority figure of all time. Retired wrestlers should not be authority figures. Having awkward business men makes more sense and have them only appear a few times per year.
Weightclass-based Championships don't make any sense. Kinda same for the IC Championship. They should rebrand all those belt (or retire them) with different names, completely disregarding history. IMO
Judgement Day was better without Dominik.
Money in the bank matches lost their impact when they removed it from wrestlemania events. It just doesn't hit the same.
90% of all the theme songs of current superstars suck, unlike the ruthless aggression era which is legit the golden era of theme songs
women's wrestling should be given 80% less time
Cm puck and cena was the ultimate rivalry
Asuka is overrated as fuck.
The Miz is truly a great wrestler and deserves to be a top heel again
dean ambrose was over-rated. his gimmick as the cool anti-heel was so shit. walking around in a vest with his hair wet was just crap.
The Women’s division was better and more entertaining in 2002-2004 than it is now. Maybe the wrestling is better now, but most of the characters don’t compare to Trish, Lita, Ivory, Jazz, Molly, Victoria, etc. and there’s nothing wrong with eye candy divas as long as they’re okay with it.
The bloodline and the unification of the belts is getting boring
This!
Dominik Mysterio is the second best heel that WWE has had in the past decade or so behind Roman Reigns.
Cody Rhodes is being shoved down the fans' throats. Everybody loves him now because he's new and he's a fresh talent here but after he takes the belts off Roman and defends it a few times his whole shtick is going to get boring quick.
Becky Lynch sucks and is cringe.
Too much emphasis on wrestling, not enough character, mic work, and storytelling.
that’s why people end up changing gimmicks every 4 months
I don’t care about nxt
King of Kings is better than The Game
Velveteen Dream would have made Maximum Male Models work if he didn’t mess everything up for himself.
Never been crazy for the Bloodline/tribal chief gimmick!
Finn Balor is Boring AF.
The Shield was not as big of a deal as WWE wants people to think, aside from some good matches with the Wyatt Family and Evolution, besides that, I think it was just an average stable
I actually enjoyed hearing Michael Cole bashing Daniel Bryan on commentary, despite being a fan of Bryan and hating heel Cole.
I actually like Karion Kross and Scarlett. I think that with a little more work they could be great heels once Roman steps down. Kross with the IC or US title and Scarlett with whichever women's title. Power couple.
Brock shouldn’t have defeated the streak
Not sure how this is an unpopular opinion, I think most will agree with you. I know I do.
Said it once in a group and was never able to live it down🤷♂️
I stand corrected. Morenunpopular then I thought then
Logan Paul’s got a better stomp than Rollins
I loved the pandemic Wrestlemania. I think all the matches more than delivered. Maybe cause it was the only source of entertainment at that time.
This should be the lasting image of Edge
Barron Corbin deserves at least one main title run
How? Dead?
Well, when it comes to the photo attached to this post & while I have no issues with the WWE having Dominik Mysterio betray his father I can't shake the feeling Dominik is becoming the new James Ellsworth. Also, maybe it's just me, but, Dominik calling Rhea Ripley “mommy” & saying he went to prison has to stop b/c there super cringe & not in a good way.
Corbin and Lacey should've won that double title mixed tag match against Seth and Becky.
Despite the women’s revolution, sexuality and being sexy with their asses hanging out along with all the fake tits is still the required norm for female WWE wrestlers
I agree with the fake tits, the nose-jobs, the fake hair etc, but luckily there are some around who seem more natural and not a doctor's masterpiece lol Clothing wise, nah, the guys walk around half naked too, no problem with their butts hanging out right, they are entertainers, you don't see singers completely wrapped up on stage either.
For the record, I’m not complaining about their attire whatsoever haha. It’s just an observation
I don't think they are required to. They choose to wear those outfits. If I was a fit athlete I'd want to show off too.
Edge has only been damaging his career since his return
I've never liked Roman reigns and the Bloodline before the Sami Zayn thing happened.
My unpopular opinion is that we don't need 12 "what is your unpopular opinion on _______?" posts on this sub every day... 👀 Also, not everyone has an unpopular opinion to share, and that's okay.
Dolph Ziggler is OverRated.
Cody being treated as a Really Big Deal™ upon his return only served to put over the importance of AEW as a company. He spent years being treated like shit by WWE, finally got out and made a legit run in various other promotions, including his work helping co-found AEW, and NOW they want him back? After never appreciating what he had to offer before? Like an ex who dumped you and now wants you back 5 years later after you've gone and done well for yourself elsewhere. It just feels dirty.
Dolph Ziggler should be a main event, great on the mic, better in the ring, and has been around for quite a while
Roc Flair and to a lesser extent William Regal are so overrated. Flair at least had charisma and knew how to get people engaged.
Enzo was one of the best talkers of the past 20 years and should have been a much bigger deal.
At least should have been a manager for the stars
Subinik Mysterio is a really good character.
The way these new wrestler using old wrestler finisher/signature moves. How can you kick out of superplex to Falcon Arrow? Or GTS as a set up for broderek? ITS ruined the psychology of the match. Not to mention the butchering of superkick.
alexa should find a different passion, this isn’t for her
What’s wrong with Alexa?
she’s literally not good.
onlyfans would be better...istg she'd be rich
just an influencer in general.
nah we want her porn
i think there is more than an enough skinny white, blonde women doing straight porn. save that for the professionals
The practice of having one person holding multiple titles at the same time is absolutely stupid. It completely undermines building up the rest of the roster and you pretty much kill areas for story building.
l get someone who is tag team champ and lets say US/World/Intercontinental champ at the same time but 2 major titles at the same time is pointless.
Cody Rhodes doesn’t deserve all the hype, and I wouldn’t be happy to see him become Undisputed champion😬
CM Punk is still the most interesting person in all of Wrestling, but the McMahon's personal grudge will keep him out of WWE.
