I had the patience for practically everyone at a young age. When you age you become more critical, and can do some organizing viewing certain characters in different categories. Just a part of becoming critical without having a black/white opinion.

Btw, when I read Warriors letter, I read it while playing his entrance music. I highly suggest doing the same.

See? I told you people not to blame Vince. He's a great guy.
I actually don't like him that much and I doubt he improved during his absence. Well at least it's something different.

I liked Baptista when I was younger but my younger self clearly didn't had the best taste (apart from CM Punk, always liked the guy).
But right now I'm not happy about the return, 2013 has seen the WWE trying to get some new guys over and I fear this will only drag them out.
With Rock gone I was hoping they would stop bringing them but it seems it won't stop.
If he wins the Rumble it's worse.

Obviously tastes change as you grow older, but who would you guys say are the wrestlers that you didn't like previously, but have made a big impression on you in recent years?
For me, Jumbo Tsuruta's gotta be my main pick. I never bothered to check out much of his 80's work because the stuff I saw of him in the 90's never impressed me all that much. It wasn't until I finally saw the Misawa vs Jumbo match from '90 that I began to see what a talented wrestler he was, even though he was already showing his age at that point. I'd personally rank him as the best wrestler in the world throughout the early 80's, he put on classic bouts with some of the biggest names in the business and was a huge star in Japan. Another pick would be Bob Backlund - I doubt many who saw his WWF run in the 90's thought highly enough of him to check out his previous work, but you have any appreciation of technical wrestling you'd be a fool not to. Orndorff has to be up there as well and Bockwinkel, both of whom I initially thought were dull as hell. Then there's guys who I wasn't at all familiar with and was expecting very little from, but they ended up blowing me away; Mr. Wrestling II fits that bill nicely. Short and tubby for a heavyweight, he was a huge fan favourite in Tennessee and it's pretty easy to see why. Fantastic wrestler who could really work a hold and mixed well with just about anybody who came through the territory.

Thanks to the first link I have now also seen this:
Did I miss this or did we really not get it in this thread. I love the Sheik.

Backlund, definitely. Haaaated him, no appreciation at all. Also Bobby Eaton.
I won't mind the ADR getting squashed part. Even if Baptista steals the spotlight at least he will do something right.

As a little mark kid in the 80's I always liked the big guys. Brotista is a throwback to that era so I still appreciate guys like that. I like a good squash match every now and then.

That sounds like a dare.
To be fair, WWE is always trying to build stars. They kind of suck at it. We've had Miz, Sheamus, Del Rio etc. None of them got anywhere significant.

Bryan's been cleared, but may be kept off TV till Rumble for precaution

Bobby's a good shout, definitely - if all you saw of him was his WCW stuff from the late 90's, you probably wouldn't be all that impressed.

Oh, Hercules Hernandez is one, so is Yokozuna. Kevin Sullivan.
Ok Why did no-one mention how incredible WWE Payback 2013 was? Ok sure it had a wacky main event but holy shit Del Rio vs. Ziggler was outstanding. Just watched it and it told its story to perfection.
The AJ Lee match was really good as was the opening 3 way, and according to event reviews CM Punk vs. Jericho was a great showing too.

Thank god. Now is the match with Bray back on then? They have openings right now for the show.
Card right now:
Cena vs Orton
Big Show vs Bork
Royal Rumble
outlaws vs Rhodes Brothers pre show.
Most likely they have Naomi vs AJ at the show but they need one more match on the main card.
They should just keep him out of the ring until the PPV. It's one show (and a couple house shows if there are any). You can work around it.
You son of a bitch. I've never fallen down while drinking whiskey.
How would you know? You blacked out faster than one of those twerps in those pokemon games after losing a pokemon match.
YAY!
That's true, even if their choices were all wrong, they did try.
But it kind of all goes to waste when the top of the card on your biggest show is composed of part-timers and, if he does main-event Mania, guys have to just come in and get to the top.
This year there is a lot of good new talent, guys that are way better and have more potential than Miz, Sheamus and Del Rio. Hopefully they put them in big storylines come Mania season and don't let the part timers get all the spotlight.
I mean, Batista and Cena wouldn't be where they are if they didn't let them both main-even and win at Mania. It's a shame they aren't willing to let new guys do that anymore.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
