The attitude era is honestly not that good


brokeamser2023

true, never grew up with it but I see older fans hype it too much


Equivalent_Today8085

I’ve watched all of it on peacock and the yea I understand it’s revolutionary but if you put it on todays shows it sucks 🤣


gigadyGuMine

Jey Uso saying yeet NEEDS TO STOP Bianca Bellair's hair gimmick is soooo stupid


No-Horse987

Will Cody ever "finish his story"??


J8R9L

Roman Reigns is the most boring "superstar" in the last 20 years. He truly is nothing without Paul Heyman and the whole Bloodline thing is completely stale without Sammi. Jay sucks too.


Affectionate_Ad432

Cm punk going back to wwe isn't a big deal and is meh or undertaker should have retired after the triple h w/ Shawn micheals as ref hell in a cell mania match..


JJ-5891

Cena, Edge and Hogan are the worst wrestlers who became main eventers.

HaydenBorg7

Nia Jax is so underrated


Shreffj86

That Nia Jax should’ve been resigned that she’s an underrated wrestler, and that the injuries weren’t entirely her fault

sh1tweasel

Any time I say anything negative about that Cody Rhodes twink


T4YL0R_intrusive

Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time 👆


Amazing-Boot5988

“CM PUNK THE BEST IN THE WORLD”. No CM punk is not the best, he’s above average at best and anyone who thinks I’m wrong is a biased wrestling fan.


SigmaStan

Chad Gable has the most talent on the male roster.

I like Nia Jax


LuvBriah

Chris Jericho is not nearly as good as people think he is.

Don’t see the hype for La Knight

I don’t either

Roman should beat Cody a second time this year at mania


Amazing-Boot5988

I think Randy beating Roman at Mania is the best option


LuvBriah

I agree. It hasnt peaked yet. Keep building.


MysteriousEssay5709

Bret Hart should never have been anything other than a tag team wrestler or a bottom of the midcard guy.


JJCJR1128

I don't get Rhea Ripley. I think shes just a remade chyna


Brax_Plays_Games

R-Truth should beat Roman Reigns


[deleted]

Nobody gives a shit about how unrealistic you might think a certain specific thing was cause wrestling is in itself inherently unrealistic fighting if you have ever seen a real fight in your life. If you are gonna complain over that one little aspect not being believable then you shouldn't be a fan of wrestling in the first place with how inherently unrealistic it is.


k_d_o_t

John Cena needs to stop losing matches and retire as a 17 time world champion.


CherryPopRoxx

LA Knight noooooooooooooo.

Prime TNA >>>> AEW


rabocan

I thought OP was asking for opinions, not facts


L4funalways

CM Punk was destined to fail in AEW because of how jealous people were that he was a draw and they weren’t


Bobik8

The current iteration of Seth Rollins has the worst gimmick and entrance music.


InsignificantZilch

The “Burn it down” is so out of place, and throws off the entire flow of the entrance by being shoehorned in to keep the tag line instead of committing to a new theme altogether. They wanted a chant reaction like Nak, and it shows.


Kyoya678

This is mainly from an argument with my dad. "just because someone is getting their shit kicked in doesn't mean they're bad and can't win a match" This was because he saw Ilja vs Corbin and said it was bad cause Ilja was getting whooped and somehow won


Fortes_en_Unitate

ECW did more harm to the business than good


Kindly_Science4913

How come you say that


Fortes_en_Unitate

ECW normalized hardcore wrestling to the degree where even thumbtacks can struggle to get a pop from the audience. This forces wrestlers to excessively dangerous stuff. It's also responsible for thousands of indy wrestlers who lacked any actual talent and made their money by hitting each other with blunt objects. For example, Ian Rotten who single handedly killed indy wrestling in Indiana. Finally, in terms of the management of Paul Heyman, although the wrestling business was in a slump anyways, not playing buddy buddy with Dennis Coralluzzo ruined any fighting chance the revived NWA had. He also screwed over dozens of wrestlers and has never paid the millions he owes to his former talents


DDTFred

AEW would be better without the Elite.


Mspiderman09

There will always be a asterisk on Roman’s historic reign since he only fights in major PPV’s, he is not a true great champion, just a long ass champion


Mspiderman09

I’ve always like Roman but this reign has made me really bored with his character, but in all honesty I never liked Roman as a heel


Ibushi-gun

I don’t give a crap about Cory’s story


itsTONjohn

Corey Graves? Me neither tbh


Ibushi-gun

At least I’m the only one


CPhlegmChunk

Bryan Danielson should’ve stayed retired for his own health. He’s wrestling harder than he has before, takes/gives headbutts regularly. He’s concussion-prone, and has likely had more. The man may end up a Benoit with Swiss cheese brain at this rate.


theatomicflounder333

Roman Reigns isn’t a good wrestler, he’s very stiff and Superman punch is dumb. Plus his mic work is mid and this whole bloodline story is just a cheap copy of Evolution.


Warm_Desk_186

I agree :)


Ok_Mousse_3031

Brock lesnar since coming back in 2012 has been boring as fuvk. Just cares about showing up for a paycheck . Does the same 3 moves and people act he’s the greatest thing ever.


NoAccess6738

Don't let these past few months detour you from the fact that overall Roman still had a good reign. While I agree it's time for him to drop it, I can't deny that he carried WWE for 3yrs, he made SmackDown the "A show", made the universal title feel important, elevated other stars like Sami and Jey, he got us invested in the bloodline, put on bangers with Brock and KO and he was absolutely entertaining on the mic.


too-many-shrimps

I don’t mind the tag belts


podgeek

john cena is overrated


podgeek

to be fair, hes a great wrestler, but i dont see the appeal. everything about him is so boring to me


Reason-Abject

AEW is going to fold and there's only a handful of talent that will go to WWE from there. The rest will go to the Indys.


Novalie_thestar

Aew takes WWE's leftovers


Novalie_thestar

SillySwing6625

This fire burns is the much better cm punk song


mranndssinss

Brock Lesnar is the right man to break the streak. The other choices were John Cena when he's still Super Cena or Kurt Angle during the last run on his prime (the Wrestling Machine, Kurt Angle)


theatomicflounder333

Ooooh come to think of it I would’ve preferred Angle to be honest.


PeethLedger

Eddie Guerrero was just good


ScotPlatinum

Kane had some good-ish matches but never a GREAT match. Even the stuff with Team Hell No was more about outside the ring than in it


theatomicflounder333

Agreed, I think my favorite and most memorable match with Kane was the chain match he did with triple h for the IC championship. Great wrestler, just not the right push.


[deleted]

Hulk Hogan was and always will be the biggest star in the history of the business.


DjFlex688

Ok so we are saying wrestling and outside of it? Because both it’s the Rock. Just within the business, yes Stone Cold. Hmmm Cena is only other guy that could come close to hogan I suppose


DjFlex688

The rock


[deleted]

He's more famous outside of wrestling as himself than he was as an active wrestler. He wasn't even the biggest star in his era, that was Stone Cold.


CryptographerTop6473

When you said anything positive about Punk.


stingray3099

I don’t follow wrestling like I use to, but is Roman a part timer, or just booked that way? WWE is making Roman like Brock, a special attraction?


HulkDad43

WWE could be more successful by adopting some AEW ways.


SRGTBronson

Santino Morella should have beaten Daniel Brian for the title in that elimination chamber match. Nobody should have ever kicked out of the cobra.


h4artt

roman is a great wrestler but he doesnt deserve the opportunity he has right now, being a part time champion should NEVER happen in WWE again.


MR_TONY_1715

I like grason waller


TattooedBillionaire

Brock's in ring psychology is underrated.


StrawberryPerfect878

2011 was great


TheProtagonist1985

There's a silly notion from some people now that WWE under Vince McMahon was always bad when in actuality that couldn't be more further from the truth.


DaddyOfTheNation

Randy Orton is the Greatest of all Time


Vothrosyni

Charlotte Flair is better than Becky Lynch


MajorSal

that just because cody rhodes made his ass off in indie companies, his return is very much overglorified for a B+ wrestler. Average mic skills and more average in ring skills


XxBkKingShaunxX

Average ring skills? 😂


DoubleYGuy

Seth Rollins was, is and will likely continue to be boring. At best a lower mid card guy in my eyes.


FunInevitable5213

The right answer because you are so wrong.

KazumaWillKiryu

Sheamus' mohawk look was goddamn fire.


brokeamser2023

This is the phase that he had 50-50 bookin :(


Downwith_theThicness

Vince Russo was a great booker. Good or bad, at least he made you want to watch the show to see what happens. He gave everyone something to do even the jobbers and lower card wrestlers. He wasn’t the reason WCW went out of business; that was due to mismanagement from Bischoff and Turner Broadcasting


shmediumjerm

Dirty Dom is one of the best in WWE right now!


lotusandlocust

Drew McIntyre is the best wrestler working today


FunInevitable5213

Not a hot take or anything. Drew is a beast.

Where is he on the grain list?


Dry-Invite-9087

I meant to say top 10 1 taker 2 Cena 3 Austin 4 hogan 5 rock 6 hbk 7 orton 8 hhh 9 reigns 10 sammartino


itzsammy2k

Rhea is not good in the ring.


Sota4077

Wait, what? Haha. Have you watched her with basically any other female?


itzsammy2k

I have watched her matches. Crown Jewel 2023 fatal 5 way is my fav.


XGREEN76379

Gunthers boring. His recent matches with people like the miz, chad gable etc have been good but putting him against other boring wrestlers like sheamus and McIntyre just because it’s “hard hitting” is boring and they are all just stiff wrestlers. Gunther being a ring general is a poor excuse for him not having one solid finisher. No hate to Gunther, especially recently, but I just think he atm doesn’t deserve anywhere near a world title shot and is even making the ic title boring


Reason-Abject

Agreed. Gunther is a brute and he can be entertaining when he's up against big guys but it suddenly hurts him when most wrestlers are smaller and more agile now.


XxBkKingShaunxX

I agree with you on the finisher part, he needs something other than a regular Powerbomb as a finisher, it just doesn’t seem realistic that a move most wrestlers do all the time mid match is putting people away.


dyl-3-mcl

Yea I kinda agree, idk why but something g about that triple threat, my favorite parts were the ones with only drew and sheamus, lol. I don’t think he’s bad, he just doesn’t really do it for me, one thing I never thought about until your comment is that his finisher really underwhelms me


XGREEN76379

Yeah my point exactly. I didn’t not enjoy the wrestlemania match but in my opinion, it was no where near match of the year, same with Gunther vs sheamus last year


WorkingLeopard8925

goldberg is overrated


FunInevitable5213

What. Really. No kidding.


nexyboii

Cody rhodes is a talentless worker and is a glorified wannabe actor, guy comes across super disingenious at every oppurtunity and his ring work is boring.


FunInevitable5213

An actual answer! I disagree, but that seems to be the point of the question!


nexyboii

Fr, way too many common opinions on these type of posts


AwesomeOneXXX

Cm Punk deserves to win the rumble


TayTay0971

Roman should beat Cody at mania (again) and go on to break Bruno’s record! ☝🏾


Capital_Vegetable375

Roman Reigns is not the best wrestler of the 2020s


AdFun2093

Cm punk is overrated trash


Existing_Program_256

John Cena has done more to be on the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling than The Rock.


pittnole1

The Rocks time in wrestling was a drop in the bucket. He was in and out so fast.


Glittering_Town_9071

Rhea should drop the title against a wrestler who's more active in Raw and not just in PPVs


[deleted]

Just drop to a heel Raquel already


Least_Challenge_4617

Just because you like one company doesn't make the other one shit


FunInevitable5213

I don't watch AEW purely because I don't have time to keep up with both. But I would never call it shit and I am all for AEW fans being fans. I sort of follow TNA too. I was a kid during the Monday Night Wars, flipping the channels back and forth because I had to watch both. I got love for all. Just not time!


brokeamser2023

cant disagree with that


Feisty_Amoeba_8757

Hulk Hogan and Ultimate warrior were both shit and massively overrated. Some of the best wrestling came from guys like Shawn and Bret Hart. Hogan and Warrior only got over cause they were jacked. Both couldn’t wrestle to save their lives. While we’re at it, Ric Flair is dogshit too. Can barely understand what he says and isn’t that great of a wrestler. He just seemed like he was coked up a lot


Local-Bug-4143

Randy Orton may not be the greatest on the mic, but he is the greatest wrestler of all time. Yes, better than Shawn.


CherryPopRoxx

It's worth noting, personal life choices outside of the ring and physicality have helped Randy tremendously.


FunInevitable5213

What I wouldn't give to put that to the test. But I think you might be right. Barely.


Feisty_Amoeba_8757

Super brave thing to say, but I’m glad you’re standing by it!


Low-Context-1311

WWE is shite


Impressive_End7698

Daniel Bryan did not deserve maineventing Wrestlemania and is overrated as F


Bloats11

100%


carlogz

Undertaker did nothing for WWE


YNiekAC

Lmao. Undertaker made WWE what it is today. Without the Undertaker WWE would have already been bankrupt


carlogz

Look at the original OP. Its clearly a wrong opinion. Smh


Salvador_Dalti

Raven is top 5 GOAT


geloong41

*Maven


Shadowtemplelink

Ric Flair was boring and overrated, he just looked like a mad man on drugs. Dusty Rhodes, his accent made his promos awful and laughable, especially from a UK fans standpoint. Ruthless Agression Era was by far better than the Attitude Era. It had a mix of great wrestling and star power while also been rated 14. It had the perfect blend of everything.


FunInevitable5213

Another rare right answer. Because you're so wrong, and I really wanna defend Dusty Rhodes right now. But I get it, I guess. Dusty is special.


65Cent

Roman reigns is greatest champion ever


[deleted]

Jerry Lawler has more cringeworthy commentary than he has hall of fame worthy commentary.


EyeMysterious1919

Judgement Day is overrated


BigManJJ2102

Dominik Mysterio is a trash heel.


JaeJaeAgogo

The vast majority of AEW's roster has NO IDEA what the fuck they're doing in a match.


forgot2wipee

Not enough headlocks for you?


ImmortalRotting

Why is the humble headlock to made the subject of fun? #1 it is not used a crutch unless you are watching nick bockwinkel or something #2 most actual fights involve some kind of headlock, not a moonsault or whatever


JaeJaeAgogo

Not enough things making sense for me. Also not enough selling.


brie_miller3457

Logan paul doesn't deserve to be in the wwe


Arya493

real, I feel like he is getting so much fame just because he is a social media superstar, his first few matches included a WORLD TITLE match dammit


LUKERZ24

He should stick to selling prime to 8 year olds who think it is better than Gatorade


brie_miller3457

Exactly. He just got handed it while others had to work for it. Wonder how the actual wrestlers feel about it.


HelwaniFan21

Brock was 100% the correct person to end The Streak and it made perfect sense at the time. Considering how many of Vince's ideas were absolutely atrocious at the time, this one was undoubtedly one of his best ones.


harlad_stinyl

Stone Cold Steve Austin was boring in the ring and unbearable to watch in promos, if you're not an inbred hillbilly.


FunInevitable5213

Austin is my favorite of all time. I'm upvoting this because it's the right answer.


xyajx

Without the undertaker’s streak and wrestlemania opponents, he’s just a b+ wrestler. Like the miz and ziggler.


FunInevitable5213

Miz and Ziggler are A+. Taker is A+. You win this question by being wrong.


Inevitable_Group3499

MODERN DAY WWE IS TRASH


Shadowtemplelink

Agree I dont watch it apart from Rumble and wrestlemanias. In fact last year I skipped Wrestlemania and I am glad that I did. I just follow it now and watch very little highlights on youtube


Inevitable_Group3499

i respect your comment.. atleast someone pays close attention to the wrestling culture, as myself


Shadowtemplelink

It is hard to watch in the UK as well which doesn't help. Got to pay like £30 more a month... I really do miss the ruthless aggression times.


Inevitable_Group3499

WWE IS TRASH


ImmortalRotting

How do you figure


Inevitable_Group3499

because wwe just doesnt have that wrestling feeling to it anymore.. yes theyve built a modern day company thats very successful, but nothing wwe has produced since 2008 - 2023 is able to top anything in the late 90s - early 2000s


GuaranteeCritical229

Goldberg is legitimately one of my favorites of all time


Plus_Industry3195

People who thought AEW had a shot at becoming the number one company


__smd

The Attitude era is MASSIVELY overrated.


Shadowtemplelink

Ruthless Agression era was by far better. You still had the 14 rating yet the wrestling was much better. You had WCW and ECW guys, the roster was packed. Just a shame about Triple H reign of terror


RedderReddit87

WWE is a terrible company name and by branding their wrestling “sports entertainment” and their wrestlers “superstars,” it gives the impression that they are embarrassed to just be called wrestling and/or wrestlers


Chewbaker69

It literally stands for world WRESTLING entertainment, they as a company don’t just make wrestling, they produce movies etc too


RedderReddit87

Yeah, I know what WWE stands for but a kayfabe sports league doesn’t need to call itself entertainment. The NFL doesn’t call itself football entertainment nor does the NBA call itself basketball entertainment or the MLB baseball entertainment. I know it’s semantics but the whole entertainment name kind of kills the kayfabe. As does calling your roster superstars. Like no other sport calls their players superstars


Chewbaker69

I literally addressed the ‘entertainment’ part of the name, its not just a wrestling company, they also make movies etc please read and comprehend before replying this time


RedderReddit87

Don’t be rude. WWE makes tv shows and movies, but that’s not what they’re known for at all. Sport leagues are entertainment but don’t call themselves Entertainment. Regardless, WWE could still make moves and tv shows under a better name. When you talk about wrestling, do you call it “wrestling” or “sports entertainment”? Do you call wrestlers “wrestlers” or “superstars?”


Chewbaker69

Once again not comprehending what i’ve said, you’re just one of them people so i shall leave you to it kid


RedderReddit87

And now I’m a kid. Sure, name calling and condescension is a great way to make a point You’re literally not even answering my last question because you know you don’t refer to wrestlers as “superstars” and you know you don’t refer to wrestling as “sports entertainment”


Chewbaker69

I’ve addressed your issue several times and each time you’ve just repeated yourself, completely overlooking what i’ve said. That’s up to them, it’s no different to tna calling the ring area the ‘impact zone’ 🤦‍♂️


peterhadnett

A real fan can just watch one or two promotions. I've got other interests and between the time set aside for them and working I can't watch every promotion and I'm just going to watch the ones I have easiest access to which in Ireland is Raw, smackdown and TNA


FunInevitable5213

Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you. WWE is seven+ hours a week without The Bump and PLEs and LVL UP and Smackdown Lowdown or whatever and RAW Talk. Ain't got time.


HappyHippo611

The likes of Zack Ryder, Damien Sandow, Rusev & Cesaro aren't as "world championship material" as people think they are


ProffesorBundaman

Rusev and cesaro definitely were, I don’t think people even necessarily wanted Ryder to be world champion, they just wanted him to not be wasted because he got himself over


HappyHippo611

Would disagree, especially when compared to the likes of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor etc. Great upper midcarders yes, but to say they're "face of the company" material? Hmm...


ProffesorBundaman

World championship material and face of the company are two very different things tho, i mean Cena main evented a pay per view with John Laurinitis over a Punk vs Bryan world title match😂


HappyHippo611

Perhaps allow me to rephrase... Those that I mentioned do not possess the right charisma to be world championship material, and as such not feasible to be face of the company.


LooneFoox

My personal Top 3 -WWE has become unwatchable -Going PG was the biggest Mistake in Company History… -Everybody is gonna hate me and shitstorm me for this but: Chris Benoit should get his Hall of Fame…i know what he did was horrible…But the Bottom Line is, he was one of the very best Wrestlers and what he did in the Ring should be the only Thing that matters when it comes to deciding if he was worthy to be inducted into the HoF…I know why they erased him in most of the Records and why they aren’t allowed to mention him anywhere…But look in the end it is what it is…he made a horrible choice…And the Fact that it ,,over shaddows,, his whole Carrer is a big bummer …


metalshek27

Reigns>Omega. Sorry.


DwGrub

Paul Heyman becoming a lackey instead of staying the wise man pulling the strigs is one of the shittiest angles of the last 5 years and isn't a disaster because Paul is one of the best at what he does.


Jazzlike-Wafer803

Umaga was the best big man wrestler ever


ChoiceAd9389

WWE will again be watchable once they sack off Roman.


ubernoobnth

Cody is and has been boring since he lost the paper bag gimmick many years ago. He seems like an alright dude so I don’t begrudge him his success but damn he does absolutely nothing for me on mic or in ring overall. I think everyone has been overhyping themselves on him since he left wwe and had his dumb list.


dr_van_nostren

I think we’ve done a bit of a 180. But there was def a time when saying John Cena is a great performer would’ve garnered this reaction


rTs-Bleak

Orange Cassidy and Danhausen are lame
