    Thread for those quilty or proud confessions of yours as a wrestling fan.
    THERE IS TO BE NO COMPLAINING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S CONFESSIONS.

    Here are mine.


    Zack Ryder annoys the hell out of me and I don't want to see him past mid-card ever.

    The Miz is my current favourite wrestlers and has been for a while.

    Billy Gunn was at one point my favourite wrestler. I'm so sorry.

    Kelly Kelly is a butterface.

    I look forward to Mark Henry these days.

    Kurt Angle is seriously overrated by the IWC, who resorts to been a spot monkey way to much.

    - I enjoy TNA more than WWE.

    - I still mark out when Hogan's music hits.

    - Rey Mysterio has been the best worker in WWE for years.

    - I like John Cena.

    - Mae Young I wouldn't

    - ODB and Jackie in a tag-team I would.

    - I miss the Hardcore division in WWE.

    - I still avoid spoilers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,391 ✭✭✭D2D


    - Muhammed Hassan's music used to scared the sh*t outta me

    - I'm really getting tired of Del Rio

    - I thought Mordeci was an awesome gimmick

    - I loved NXT Season 3 (the Diva's season)

    - I like WWE PG

    - The 24/7 rule was awesome

    - I want the Cruserweight title to return


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    I may have had a crush on Chyna.

    I don't find Zak Ryder particularly funny.

    Jim Ross bugs the bejesus out of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I confess that i have a suspicion that this will turn into an attitude era love fest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,101 ✭✭✭MitchKoobski


    I don't like Bret Hart and never have

    I think the Undertaker is overrated as fu*k. I'm not a fan, and will never be a fan of his..


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    - I didn't see much of WCW before it ended. Most of my knowledge comes from books, DVDs and other second hand reports.

    - I saw NO ECW stuff before it ended. I was vaugely aware of it but when guys like Tazz were debuting, I had no clue who he was. Once agan, my knowledge comes from second hand info, and the Rise and Fall DVD which I adored, and have watched numerous times.

    - I tend to fast forward through matches on Raw; you still get the jist of whats happening but get to avoid the horrible commentary team.

    - I adored JBL's run as champ and loved The Cabinet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Randy Orton is boring, and I want to punch him everytime he has a mic or is on TV.

    I would prefer to see AJ Styles in WWE than TNA.

    I liked Hardcore Holly's music.

    I hated Batista and will never miss him.

    Lashley was a poor man's Lesnar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Punk may be the reason I quit watching. Didn't care about him till the promo and 2 months later he's boring me again.

    Sabu is my favourite wrestler ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    I don't like CM Punk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,881 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Vickie Guerrero, I probably would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    I really loved the Big Bossman - Big Show feud. Some hilarious segments.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I think the two HBK vs Undertaker matches at Wrestlemania are extremely overrated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    I think the two HBK vs Undertaker matches at Wrestlemania are extremely overrated.

    Agree. WM 25 in particular is a fine match, but both guys were at their best at the time of the first Hell in a Cell.

    Also, their casket match from Royal Rumble 98 deserves greater mention.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,077 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    For years i thought the announcer was saying "scheduled for winfall" but after about 10 years of watching wrestling i realised scheduled for one fall makes more sense :D

    I think the majority of the summer of punk wasn't that great & was going to go downhill with or without Nash. I also think his inside knowledge fueled promo's just sound like a guy going into buisness for himself saying something a lot of people could say but wouldn't have the opportunity to.
    I also adore Joker Sting yeah its cheesy but it somehow always makes me smile.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,616 ✭✭✭8k2q1gfcz9s5d4


    I like HHH

    I like CM Punk

    I never liked batista

    Kane's debut left me speechless (I was 10)

    I cringe when Cena is on the mic

    JBL and The Rock cut the best promos

    Bret Heart was boring, Owen was way better

    I like the miz

    My 2 favourite wrestle mania matches were TLC 1 and 2

    ECW was ****

    NWO ruined WCW

    Rick Flair is the greatest wrestler of all time

    Hulk Hogan, ultimate Warrior, Brock Lesner, Batista, could never wrestle. They just did the same moves over and over again

    Sheamus is a good wrestler

    My favourite wrestler ever is Steve Austin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭glenjamin


    I hate Ric Flair

    I have watched Chyna's pornos

    I haven't watched Smackdown in about six months

    I liked Goldberg

    The 5th most listened to song on my iPod is Jericho's theme song


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,337 ✭✭✭Bandana boy


    The Dudley Boyz are the second greatest Tag team of all time
    The first being the Bushwackers

    The first Dudleys hardy Boy feud is what got me rewatching wrestling not the attitude era

    I think people who boo a face John Cena are cheating and ruining the show for the kids

    I went to a TNA show and cheered a Heel Kurt Angle so much the kids beside me got upset

    I do not think I am a hypocrite

    The Miz is the best thing in wrestling today

    I predicted that Randy Orton would be the next rock when he debuted -I doubled down on his injury update segments -I was very very wrong

    Y2J Chris Jericho was a better Face than any of his heel turns

    Any segment backstage with any two of The rock ,Stone Cold and Kurt Angle was better than any Wrestlemania match


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    I've always preferred the indy's over any of the big promotions.

    Guys like Ziggler, Swagger and Riley are the most generic wrestlers going and deserve no place in the WWE or any other promotion.

    I love absolute spotfests.

    Nick Gage from CZW is my most hated "wrestler" of all time.

    Never saw the hype with Flair, have no clue why he's regarded as being so great.

    Smackdown vs Raw 2006 is the best wrestling game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 390 ✭✭-Kenny-


    I actually have alot of respect for John Cena











    *i'll get my coat*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    i dont get the hhh hate every wrestler is guilty of burying other wrestlers they dont like

    katie vick storyline was awesome

    i like kevin nash

    the original ecw wasnt that good

    i loved the wwe in 2003

    i didnt like jerichos heel run after his feud with hbk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭jmolloy


    i don't mind cena

    i didn't like the original ecw

    i often watch raw on a tuesday on fast forward mode only stopping for promo's

    when i didn't have sky sports in the 90's i watched the scrambled signal and listened to the commentary as i really didn't like wcw which i coulda watched after cartoon network

    i didn't mind wwe pg


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    - I really dont get all the internet love for Zack Ryder. I don't particularly like him as a wrestler, he bores the shíte out of me and cant act for his life. His youtube show proves that, but other peoples segments save it. Also I cringe when he says "woo woo woo, you know it".

    - The deadman undertaker bores me and I wish he would go back to his biker gimmick.

    - I hated the bret hart v HBK iron man match.

    - I love heel HHH. I also like him personally when he is OOC, he seems like a nice guy.

    - I miss the Coach.

    - I am actually in love with Kelly Kelly. (ok, not literally, but you get what I mean)

    - I thought Mickie James was fat and completely overrated in the looks department. Same for Melina.

    - I like the Miz.

    - I think WM 19 is slightly better than WM 17.

    - I never liked the old ECW, up until about 1999 when I started to like it much more.

    - I really liked the Evolution stable, and wish it had stayed around longer.

    - I have not watched a Smackdown show (apart from the odd 2 min catchup some weeks and reading results online) since about 2006 or 2007. Seriously.

    - I skip past most wrestling matches, unless its a big PPV or the match is a gimmick match, as I dont care one bit for wrestling. I watch mainly for promos/segments etc.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,391 ✭✭✭D2D


    - I normally download any PPV theme song when it's released and constantly overplay it

    - I Never saw the original ECW

    - I barely caught the end of WCW on TNT, clashing with Raw on Friday nights

    - I used to love Heel Cole, now I really hate it

    - The first match I ever saw fully was TLC 1 while the first event I can remember watching was SummerSlam 2000 on Sky Sports 1

    - The first PPV I stayed up for was Bad Blood 2004

    - I love Draft Night

    - Add me to the "fast forward Raw except for promos and match endings" club

    - I can't stand Santino or Otunga

    - I'd usually spend any computer classes we got in school checking up results etc....

    - I missed on hearing about the whole Benoit thing until the following Tuesday

    - I sat in silence, in complete shock and cried during the Raw tribute show for Eddie on the Thursday replay (I never knew what happened & was expecting another standard Raw)

    - Steve Blackman and his Kendo Sticks were awesome

    - I loved the Live heat, 1 hour before a PPV

    - CM Punk really is my hero

    - I really hate that nearly every Raw/SD/Impact Wrestling starts with a promo

    - Superstars is the most under-rated wrestling show

    - I'm listening to Alex Riley's theme as I type this

    - I love 3 hour Raws


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭connemara man


    -i read the results of shows only if something sounds good will i watch it after

    -I think CM Punk and The MIZ are the on the best on the mike at the moment

    -Seamus is Great

    -I hadnt seen any wrestling in over ten years until i was in a pub one night and i saw smackdown on and it peaked my interest again.

    -misses a proper tag team division

    -I cant stand Randy Orton


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    I enjoyed NXT last Summer more than the Punk angle this Summer.

    Ive may have watched 20 Shimmer DVDs.

    Half of these confessions I don’t get. What is wrong with liking Cena, Rey, Sheamus etc? :pac:

    Yeah none of them are guilty pleasures really, all off them even Cena have always had a strong online fanbase. :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    - I don't get the Zack Ryder hype. I don't think he's great in the ring and his character bores me. I think he's a fad.

    - CM Punk is overrated imo. I do like his character and presence and appreciate his workrate but he's not the best in the world and the idea he should main event Mania over The Rock I find to be laughable.

    - Hunter is growing on me lately. If he starts burying people again that will change.

    - Kelly sucks.

    - Heath Slater is awesome.

    - I would be fine with Mark Henry winning the World Title.

    - I also love watching Brodus Clay annihilate jobbers on Superstars and I think he could be a big hit in a couple of months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭tvercetti


    - I loved the original Tough Enoughs

    - Always liked Triple H, Stone Cold is my favourite ever

    - Never been a fan of Undertaker, Batista was a waste of space

    - 24/7 Hardcore Title rocked

    - Always hated the Heavywieght Belt, hoped it was gone for good when Jericho won the undisputed thingy

    - I miss Goldberg, Brock, Kurt

    - Benoit is still a legend

    I never liked Hulk Hogan.

    As much as i loved Bret Hart, i think Owen had more charisma and would have made a better champion.

    I cringe every time Bret is on tv now.

    Bret sold out.

    I hated HBK with a vengance, but learned to respect his in ring talent.

    Sheamus would make a much better face.

    Vince ruined wrestling by buying the competition.

    The internet ruined wrestling.

    I stopped watching wrestling when JBL became champion. I hate him.

    I hate Mark Henry.

    I miss the tag team division.

    I hate Rey Rey.

    JR has no self respect. How he lets Vince humiliate him every week i don't know.

    Randy Orton is a fantastic wrestler but everything else about him bores the sh1t out of me.

    I miss WCW.

    I don't miss ECW. I loved it but i outgrew it.

    I really miss Chris Benoit and Eddie Gurerro.

    Dave Meltzer is a tosser.

    Ric Flair is a tosser.

    Taz is the worst commentator ever.

    I always wanted a 3 way dance with Terri Runnels and Sunny.

    I've never seen Fergal Devitt wrestle.

    Nigel McGuinness should be a main eventer in WWE.

    The Rock should come back full time or just GTFO.

    Wrestling needs SCSA and The Rock to come back.

    I miss Lillian Garcia and The Fink.

    Macho Man rules. RIP.

    Kane should never have been unmasked.

    R Truth is now boring.

    So is The Miz.

    Batista was/is sh1te.

    So was Lesnar.

    So was Goldberg.

    Why is David Otunga a wrestler?

    The Undertaker should retire.

    I hate wrestling video games and music cds.

    I usually fall asleep during the first match of a PPV and wake up for the start of the main event.

    I miss Edge.

    I never liked The Hardy Boyz.

    The Dudley Boys were the greatest tag team ever.

    Bully Ray is awesome.

    I never got the hype over RVD.

    I used to think RVD and Jean Claude Van Damme were twin brothers.

    I'd give Natalya one.

    Kelly Kelly looks weird.

    I'd give Chyna one.

    Joey Styles can't commentate for sh1te.

    The NWO and Attitude era were my favourite times in wrestling.

    I cried when i found out that Eddie, Owen and Benoit died.

    I love Vickie Gurerro.

    Dolph Ziggler is under rated.

    CM Punk and HHH are the only reasons i watch WWE.

    Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Lex Luger and Scott Steiner are and always have been rubbish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 335 ✭✭johnnycnandy


    I think Punk needs to improve his promo work. Big time.

    Hold on!! Before anyone tries to kill me, hear me out. On his own with a mic, he's gold. But interacting with someone, he's terrible. He keeps straying off the point and constantly, constantly, constantly interrupts the other person. Watch his promo with Triple H this week. H's is selling tickets, gets interrupted by Punk going off topic. Repeatedly. Its been the same for every segment they've had recently.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Punk fan and I wanna see him succeed, but he really needs to work on this part of his game.


    Oh yeah, and I also don't get Zack Ryder. At all.

    but then again i enjoy czw deathmatches.

    seriously though angle is awesome, his wwe matches = awesome and most tna matches = awesome.....because he does some cool spots now and again doesnt mean he's a spot monkey.

    ps. i actually really love czw deathmatches

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,235 ✭✭✭✭flahavaj


    Kurt Angle has no idea about pro wrestling.

    Lita is an ugly man-face.

    I don't get the Zack Ryder thing at all.

    Chris Daniels wrestles like he's a ballet dancer.

    Mark Henry is and always has been amazing.

    Ditto Viscera.

    And Finally.........the Rock is the most overrated wrestler of all time. For all the talk of his great ability on the mic he's a bit of a one-trick pony. Cena > Rock.

    HHH has always been my favourite wrestler

    I never liked The Rock

    I don't get all the hype over Zack Ryder

    I don't mind John Cena's in-ring work, the only thing I don't really like about him is the way he shouts in nearly every promo

    I used to think that TNA is infinitely times better and more watchable than WWE, but sadly I don't have the channel that it's been moved to. :(

    In terms of wrestling ability, even TNA's Knockouts are better than WWE's Divas in my opinion.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I like Hornswoggle.

    I like McCool too.

    I think Drew McIntyre is the best heel in WWE, no matter what, people would never cheer him if he didn't want them too, like they did with Orton, Jericho, Punk etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick

    Stephnie McMahon I would in a heartbeat

    Should be only one WWE champion that can go to both brands and scrap the World Heavyweight Champion.

    Hate way WWE still hasn't gotten rid of the Spinner belt

    hate way WWE didn't appeal losing it's F and hate the World Wildlife Fund for it, refuse to support their charities

    I like Face Vince McMahon

    I hate people in power backstage being prominent on TV,Bar Vince Mcmahon during his Austin run.

    I watched and knew between little and nothing of ECW and WCW when they were at their peak.

    I miss the Wrestling channel,Good ol 427:o

    Also,Hated face Austin and Rock at their peaks....
