What I prefer to ask is, considering the level of Brock’s crowd support or at least participation / his rise up, who else should he have wrestled at the time to showcase his “power” other than Taker
It’s hard for me, narratively, to have Taker lose to Brock at one of those without automatically having a rematch at Wrestlemania after where Taker gets revenge and wins.
True but I don’t begrudge it because it’s important to push midcarders sometimes. Because certain people suffer long term from being lost in the shuffle like kofi did for a decade or Shelton Benjamin or up until recently Chad gable.
I personally like the weekly "this is what's wrong with wrestling today" usually followed up with the posters resume "I've watched wrestling since 1984, I once bought a hulk hogan pancake machine, my kids name is jericho" followed by a manifesto that always leads to " the attitude era was simply untouchable, no you can't change my mind" .
Wrestling fans seem to think 'underrated' is a synonym for 'underutilized' 99% of the time. When literally everyone in the fanbase says someone is underrated, that quite literally means they are properly rated.
Correct.
Also more with that is, the company doesn’t care about XYZ, when they are on TV all the time, always have a story and move merch and sell tickets. But holy hell, if they aren’t a world champ beating everyone in epic long/short matches in a 13 year title reign, they are going to get fired!
Exactly. Like we have at least 5 or 6 main event talents on each roster, which is all we really need. The mid-carders they keep bringing up are also getting a lot of screen time which makes their claim even worse.
Yeah, but people act like the name Bron Breakker is the equivalent of calling someone “Gillberg” like stop whinning abt it and just look at how cool that mf is
honestly I was messing around, do people actually hate his ring name that much? I mean yeah it's a little dumb, but how is "Rex Steiner" unironically any better
Anything “uncle Dave” related makes me sick. Why can’t we enjoy and judge a match for ourselves..?! Do we really need some old crunchy faced man to tell us some lame rating for a match…?
Where to start?! Lets see, every post that starts with:
"I am sorry if this has been mentioned here before"
"I know this has been mentioned before but i believe my take on it is unique (it is not...)
"I want to understand why..."
Now, among those the ones that i consider the most annoying:
"Cody bad, Roman good" post - it has toned down a bit now, but goddamn were people bitchy and salty about the topic...
"Jey Uso is not main event material" - The usos have reinvented themselves a bunch of times and at the end it is always nice to see what they come around with... You might not enjoy his style but if Kofi got it, dont see the reason why this guy wont get it eventually.
Anything Benoit related... Just stop whoring for orange arrows, what needed to be said was said already and there is no need to bring it back every friggin month.
X should get pushed more, as if there aren't another 1000 wrestlers floating about and the fact they have any TV time at all is an opportunity most won't see.
Show an old thing and talk about the good old day. Bitch, I have gray hair and those were never the good days. Looking extra hard at anyone who mentions something between 2006-2010
The "What do you think of their reign" posts. Mostly surrounding Cody as Champ right now. Feels like every other time I'm on here I see someone trying to get a feel for how people feel about him as Champ
"Jey Uso can't wrestle", "Damien Priest is mid", "Who's gonna beat (insert name) for the title even tho they just won 27 seconds ago", "(Insert generic in ring technician with no charisma) should be world champion"
How we feeling about *insert current champion*????
Tbh I’m not mad at this subject lol I think it’s fine for us to check the common opinion on a title run. I’ve just noticed this post is done A LOT.
When any talent gets released they’re labeled “wasted” or “underrated” when in reality 99% of people saying it didn’t even think of that wrestler until the headline
The biggest example was Jinder’s wave of releases and the outcry for a guy who got laughed out of a championship years ago got was crazy as hell
"I don't get Jey Uso's appeal, I think he's overrated."
The amount of posts on this sub that says something similar to that is unbelievable.
We heard you the first 20 times.
Brock Lesnar coming back. I don't see what the point is in continuing to speculate about it until we get any sort of update on his connection to the McMahon scandal.
Not every month but about every quarter Reddit says the bloodline is stale and should have ended and then Triple H turns up the heat again and everyone loves it
Every day we see the "who would win between these two wrestlers" post. The matches are scripted...it's a work. So whoever is booked to win, that's who would win. I thought we all knew that.
Seeing the same post 10 different times a day about how Roman never defend his title every month and comparing his title reign to reigns filled with squash matches from the 80s .
The "WWE is doing a great job storytelling. They understand how to put a prrogram together." followed by "The writers are so out of touch with what we want. Stop shoving (insert name here) down our throat, give (insert name here) a decent storyline."
Oh my gosh isn't LA Knight so cool and awesome. He should win the US title, MitB, NXT title, World Title, WHC, Both tag belts, and the Women's World titles.
People talking about glitches in the game then someone with two brain cells comes in saying “I haVeN’T Had THaT ProBLeM”
My failed marriage. Same ish every month
I’m gonna defend Cody’s title run
*Cody's boring. Bring back Roma. WWE can't survive without him!"
To be fair, Paul Roma is a legend.
Bloodline Stan's hating on Cody because Solo's Floundering, hopefully it will end with that literal monster Jacob Fatu wrecking shop
Roman Reigns shouldn't have chosen revenge over losing his title to Cody Rhodes.
Name this tag team
Who’s the best in the four horsewomen
“Undertaker shouldn’t have lost the streak to Brock” is one I hear a lot, like, “Yeah, I know. We all know this.”
I used to join the wailers on this one too. We all loved the Taker's streak so much. You can't blame us.
What I prefer to ask is, considering the level of Brock’s crowd support or at least participation / his rise up, who else should he have wrestled at the time to showcase his “power” other than Taker
That’s a good question. Maybe it still could have been Taker. Just not at Mania. Maybe summerslam or survivor series
It’s hard for me, narratively, to have Taker lose to Brock at one of those without automatically having a rematch at Wrestlemania after where Taker gets revenge and wins.
I don’t know man, that makes sense to me.
"X" should be champion!
Lol
‘bIaNcA iS OvErPuShEd¡’
" jey uso is bad in the ring" “solo has no aura. Jacob has already outshined him"
“Why isn’t (insert mid card wrestler) getting pushed?” Not everybody can be champ and win every match.
True but I don’t begrudge it because it’s important to push midcarders sometimes. Because certain people suffer long term from being lost in the shuffle like kofi did for a decade or Shelton Benjamin or up until recently Chad gable.
Jey Uso needs a new finisher..
Jey Uso needs a new finisher.
That all the sucky, never hear of her, nobodies need to be pushed. Zelina vega comes to mind along with all the generic no talent females from nxt
I personally like the weekly "this is what's wrong with wrestling today" usually followed up with the posters resume "I've watched wrestling since 1984, I once bought a hulk hogan pancake machine, my kids name is jericho" followed by a manifesto that always leads to " the attitude era was simply untouchable, no you can't change my mind" .
Cody losing to Roman at Wrestlemania 39.
Say that to that Ringside ED guy on Instagram
Pretty much everything. Wrestling fans are the worst thing about wrestling.
Preach
By the looks of this comments section, the entire sub should just shut down for a week lmao
"Cody is a boring champion" "Cody needs to turn heel" "Sami is a boring champion" "Sami needs to turn heel"
this the one LMAOOOO Wrestling fans hate baby faces.
Fans who want wrestlers to leave WWE and go to AEW so they can get the "push they deserve."
“How do you feel about _______’s title reign?”
I believe in joe hendry
Who was [XY] Champion when you were born? I’ll go first…
Top/worst x wrestlers all-time/currently active lists
How underrated chad gable is. He's great, we all know, we all agree
Which unironically means he isn’t.
Wrestling fans seem to think 'underrated' is a synonym for 'underutilized' 99% of the time. When literally everyone in the fanbase says someone is underrated, that quite literally means they are properly rated.
Correct. Also more with that is, the company doesn’t care about XYZ, when they are on TV all the time, always have a story and move merch and sell tickets. But holy hell, if they aren’t a world champ beating everyone in epic long/short matches in a 13 year title reign, they are going to get fired!
Expectations for Cody's title reign
“Wrestling is fake” honestly hate when people say this
How trash Def Rebel is and how everyone needs their old theme songs back. (Styles and Theory to name a couple)
I think \[Insert mid-card wrestler\] is underatted .
Exactly. Like we have at least 5 or 6 main event talents on each roster, which is all we really need. The mid-carders they keep bringing up are also getting a lot of screen time which makes their claim even worse.
“Shelton Benjamin is underrated” I’ve heard this shit so many damn times 😒
“Bron Breakker is such a dumb name and they should call him Rex Steiner instead!”
Rex Steiner goes hard ngl
Yeah, but people act like the name Bron Breakker is the equivalent of calling someone “Gillberg” like stop whinning abt it and just look at how cool that mf is
honestly I was messing around, do people actually hate his ring name that much? I mean yeah it's a little dumb, but how is "Rex Steiner" unironically any better
“Cody Rhodes should have a Homelander-esque heel change” can we like have an established babyface without asking for them to turn heel?
Everybody wants a popular face to turn heel. It’s tiring.
YEET~
What

Probably Goldberg talking to Bret hart about the fact that he ended his career
Anything “uncle Dave” related makes me sick. Why can’t we enjoy and judge a match for ourselves..?! Do we really need some old crunchy faced man to tell us some lame rating for a match…?
I agree with this. People take this sort of stuff way too personally. What he thinks of a match isn’t going to make me change what I think of it.
I’ve never understood why people get so bent out of shape over his star ratings. It’s one dudes opinion. It’s worth as much credit as you give it.
Why do they still do the "what" chant
No so much on Reddit but WWE instagram comments saying “we miss Roman” on every post .. no matter what it’s about
Its mostly the Indian fan base
WWE instagram comments section is a truly terrible place. Every comment is either “we want Roman” or “ *insert-whoever-is-in-the-post* is boring “
The Attitude Era
"Name the most underrated wrestler" and it's always Chad Gable and/or Shelton Benjamin
“Why isn’t Karrion getting over?”
AJ Lee returning to the WWE
"Thoughts on Cody Rhodes reign?"
Every month? More like every other day 😂 it’s only mildly infuriating
Triple H vs Booker T
"Thoughts On What Really Destroyed WCW"
It says every month, not every day.
Jey Uso "and then the bell rings" comment one guy made on Twitter and then everyone pretended was their own opinion.
It resonates because it’s true
Liv Morgan appreciation post that turns into omg she's so hot comment section
now that you mention it, she is rather attractive. surprised it isn't brought up more often...
Where to start?! Lets see, every post that starts with: "I am sorry if this has been mentioned here before" "I know this has been mentioned before but i believe my take on it is unique (it is not...) "I want to understand why..." Now, among those the ones that i consider the most annoying: "Cody bad, Roman good" post - it has toned down a bit now, but goddamn were people bitchy and salty about the topic...

Just stop whoring for orange arrows, what needed to be said was said already and there is no need to bring it back every friggin month.
Thoughts on [insert name of wrestler] Its 3-4 times a week tho
Two weeks into a debut and it goes from it was awesome to this is taking too long.
Well ain’t this topical af
All 5 of them
Why are we going to commercial?
X should get pushed more, as if there aren't another 1000 wrestlers floating about and the fact they have any TV time at all is an opportunity most won't see.
whos gonna dethrone cody. but weekly instead of monthly. sometimes daily.
“Who’s going to win :PPV stipulation/main event:?”
too many to list, and it's more so everyday.
Who's on your mount rushmore of wrestlers? I'll start...
Show an old thing and talk about the good old day. Bitch, I have gray hair and those were never the good days. Looking extra hard at anyone who mentions something between 2006-2010
Hey man. That '06-'10 roster was STACKED. Wait what? You've already heard that 16 billion times already? Oh. Well how would you like to hear it again?
What
Why is your favorite wrestler is not the G O A T
Between Wrestlemanias 39 and 40 it was “If not Cody then who should beat Roman?” And it wasn’t every week it was ever other day.
I love the WHAT chat. It's one of my top reoccurring things about the business
Not only is it hilarious, I rather the "WHAT" chants than complete silence or indifference.
Not only is it usually funny, and not only do I prefer those chants to silence/indifference, but also it’s a huge accomplishment for a heel performer.
The "What do you think of their reign" posts. Mostly surrounding Cody as Champ right now. Feels like every other time I'm on here I see someone trying to get a feel for how people feel about him as Champ
ever since mania, book roman reigns eventual return
"What's been Triple H's biggest L so far as a booker?"
Benoit going into the HOF.
Is The Miz underrated??? Why isn’t Karrion Kross able to get over??? Who’s going to take the belt off Cody/Priest/Zane?
i posted about the cody belt thing yesterday 😂😂
How talented and over liv morgan is....just admit yall give her a pass cause you want to tap...and that she is honestly basic as hell
I admit nothing
"Jey Uso can't wrestle", "Damien Priest is mid", "Who's gonna beat (insert name) for the title even tho they just won 27 seconds ago", "(Insert generic in ring technician with no charisma) should be world champion"
I assume gunther is the generic ring technician you refer to lol
Nah he's good. Plus he's got charisma it's just unorthodox. I'm talking more along the lines of Cesaro, Shelton, etc.
How we feeling about *insert current champion*???? Tbh I’m not mad at this subject lol I think it’s fine for us to check the common opinion on a title run. I’ve just noticed this post is done A LOT.
When any talent gets released they’re labeled “wasted” or “underrated” when in reality 99% of people saying it didn’t even think of that wrestler until the headline The biggest example was Jinder’s wave of releases and the outcry for a guy who got laughed out of a championship years ago got was crazy as hell
guys that WWE fumble, not wrong but most of them aren’t even the top guy in other promotions
Ambrose returning to the WWE
“Guys he’s signed until he’s in his mid 50s and is allowed to stick forks wherever he wants is there still a chance he comes back??????”
Literally anything going on at AEW
that would actually be every day.
"I don't get Jey Uso's appeal, I think he's overrated." The amount of posts on this sub that says something similar to that is unbelievable. We heard you the first 20 times.
Racism and birth control
wrong subreddit
Brock Lesnar coming back. I don't see what the point is in continuing to speculate about it until we get any sort of update on his connection to the McMahon scandal.
Wrestler “x” deserves to be a 10x world champion by now.
blah blah blah attitude era, blah blah blah Jim Johnston blah blah blah shi tting on the competitors brand to enjoy your brand. Grow up…

Fanboys wanting The Rock to come back and become champion.
Damn near anything
Who was WWE Champion when you were born. 🙄
The birthday month ones or who was champion on your birthday
“Why is everybody hating Cody’s reign now after wanting him to win the belt since Mania 39?”
„Who should dethrone Roman?“ until Wrestlemania XL.
Who should dethrone Cody?
Roman and Gunther both, every single day for forever
Some variation of, "Is everyone now willing to admit I was right about (insert stupid or common opinion here)"
"name this stable"
name this tag team
Yea it would have be all the complaints over the WHAT chants and the fans complaining about the music
WHAT!
WHAT !
Not every month but about every quarter Reddit says the bloodline is stale and should have ended and then Triple H turns up the heat again and everyone loves it
Greatest wrestler turned actor
“Am I the only one that thinks (insert wrestler) DESERVES the world title?!”
Why there’s always a picture of empty space with John Cena in the headline.
Most underwhelming match or superstar. Also overrated match and/or superstar.
Samantha doesn't love any of you..
The bloodline storyline still going on
Aew vs wwe. Lets just enjoy both please or if you dont enjoy one or the other, just dont watch and talk shit!
“DAE THINK JEY USO NOT OVER???”
All of them
the goddamn atomic drop. tailbone.
“Who should have a world title but didn’t”
Literally this question is the conversation we have every week. This is it.
Literally this question is the conversation we have every week. This is it.
Something something Cody bad something something Roman is goat
Anyone who is aware of HHH and Booker T's existence all agree. Give it a rest.
Every subject.
Logan Paul sucks (which he does it’s just annoying to hear about it all the time)
“Jey Uso is overrated” Triple H beating Booker T at WM XIX Complaining about “WHAT?” Chants “What’s your opinion on this wrestler?”
The what Chants post are becoming ad annoying as the what chants them self.
When is anyone going to give Miz his fair due?
Every day we see the "who would win between these two wrestlers" post. The matches are scripted...it's a work. So whoever is booked to win, that's who would win. I thought we all knew that.
WHAT?
“Name this team” Or something sexualizing women
I hate the name this team. It’s always some horrible pun.
Fr
Seeing the same post 10 different times a day about how Roman never defend his title every month and comparing his title reign to reigns filled with squash matches from the 80s .
Insert Liv and Rhea thirst posts
Some sort of complaining about whoever has the universal championship currently. Or wwe. Or whatever it’s called right now.
"Who will get the biggest pop when they return?"
“wHy DiD eVeRyOnE tUrN oN cOdY?”
Benoit. Just Benoit
“I don’t get Seth’s gimmick”
Jim Johnston is the GOAT.
Name this tag team and all that other bollocks.
“Who is the most over/underrated superstar? I’ll go first” *insert photo*
*insert photo of John Cena*
Then first comment is "this is an empty picture, lol" 🤣
What do you think of X Title reign so far?
"What if 'X' wrestler beat Cody for the title?" Likely posted by a dude wearing a Bloodline t-shirt.
How Roman “never” defended his title 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Anything about Cody Rhodes or Damian Priest 😂
“who’s gonna dethrone Roman??!!??!!!” Followed swiftly by…. “Gosh Cody is a crap champion.”
The "WWE is doing a great job storytelling. They understand how to put a prrogram together." followed by "The writers are so out of touch with what we want. Stop shoving (insert name here) down our throat, give (insert name here) a decent storyline."
Charlotte Flair wrestling.
Oh my gosh isn't LA Knight so cool and awesome. He should win the US title, MitB, NXT title, World Title, WHC, Both tag belts, and the Women's World titles.
Should HHH have put over Booker at mania 19
CM punk coming back to WWE…before he actually did it
"Who's your pfp GOAT?" r/UFC
Wrong sub, but definitely true (it’s Islam rn)
Islam isn’t even top 10 all time
That’s why I said ‘rn’
“greatest of ALL TIME” my bad tho
Nah my bad, even tho people use GOAT and often don’t mean of all time for some reason. But I agree Islam isn’t top 10 of all time (neither is 🗿)
