We all watch a fairly wide range of wrestling, so across all your favourite/usual promotions:

Who is that one wrestler above all others that you just can’t get into?

Do you hate their wrestling style? Is their character boring? Do they just not do anything for you? Hate the performer (keep it civil)? Was there some angle that soured you on them? Let us know! (and obviously do feel free to mention multiple people if needed lol).

    Well this is gonna be fun.

    In AEW, it’s Sammy. Irl, while he seems to have his heart mostly in the right place, he’s just a bit of a tool and can’t resist cringey shit. Proposing in the ring, regardless of how that ended, is cringe. Announcing a pregnancy on national TV is cringe. Doing a gender reveal is cringe. Etc etc etc.

    I don’t believe that this is all character work any more given how he continues to be positioned as a face. The only time recently I’ve been interested in what he’s doing was when he was friends with MJF. The guy is better as a heel, and all of the above works much better as a deluded heel who thinks people care, rather than an ernest face, in my opinion.

    In WWE, I never got the appeal of Ronda Rousey. Her being an literal piece of shit is something I only found out about later, but her matches were bad - actual judo throws aside - she can’t talk, and her holding the belt was clearly for marketing purposes only. Shayna is infinitely better.

      All I wanna do is see Sammy wrestle. Nothing else. No promos, title cards, interviews. Just wrestle and fuck off.

      Rousey can just fuck off without the wrestling.

      I can’t even bring aew into this, the whole company is a shit show and terrible. Anyone who is brought and in is halfway decent, gets tossed into the mid card within a month and any storylines they had just vanish. Now they’re acting like bringing in Sasha banks is gonna be a game changer. They can’t even bring in new viewers with Copeland or Joe, how the fuck is banks gonna make a difference?? Lol

      That place is run by a bunch of narcissistic mid carders, and it’s all paid for by a rich idiot pretending he’s playing a fantasy wrestling league

            Dude, again, chill.

            We have a good place for discussion about wrestling as a whole here, including negative feeling against AEW, but personal attacks and factional screaming are not welcome.

            Dislike AEW as much as you want, but have it be substantive and not vitriolic.
