Wrestlers You Dislike

Who the fuck wanna watch Akira Taue wrestle? lol

True.

I take it back about Taue.

You were about to have me linking like 30 Akira Taue matches with that first post

@HHJ , I just watched this Baba match and I think it's good. He's still a little awkward and I think Fritz makes it more than he does but good stuff anyway.

Chief Jay Strongbow if I haven't already mentioned him. I hear so many stories about what a dick he was as an agent too.

I wouldn't say dislike per se, but I do find Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher uninteresting to watch. The 3 are the exact same wrestler. Overly choreographed dangerous high spots, blatant thigh slap heavy strikes, lack of story telling, constant 2.99 kickouts, etc. They all wrestle the same. I get why it maybe appealing to some folks, but it's not something that interest me in watching. Their model of wrestler is one of the main reasons I can't get into modern pro-wrestling.

Agreed. Obviously they are really talented guys, but they are def the ones who more than anyone else are hitting people with 16 finishers in their matches. It makes any moves lose all meaning. No psychology.

Kenny Omega's persona is so cringeworthy to behold. Imagine a dork like this trying to make it in the 80's/90's

I don't hate Kenny as much as I used to, but he definitely overdoes it with the theatrics. I haven't seen enough of Fletcher since he changed up his look so I can't really comment.

I will disagree about Will though. I think he's great in the ring (his Hidden Blade is an awesome finisher). Only issue is his promos are a bit hard to get into with his accent.

I'm still of the "I think pro-wrestlers should look like they can kick the shit out of people" school of thought.

And no they don't have to all be roided out freaks, at least act well enough or have the legit credentials that I think your undersized self could kill me.

The Radiclz, the Luchadores, some of the Cruisers from back in the day, looked legit. Some are/were.

I think guts like Omega, Styles, Balor/Devitt, Rollins, are great performers and athletes....but I feel like me in my prime could take them...
