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.
