She does wear too much eye shadow/liner alright. Doesn't need to either.
I think people hold way too much stock in the opinions of Lance Storm and William Regal. Neither were big names or had the greatest of careers for them to be so opinionated

Thanks for reading my post :rolleyes: but I do I think both are big headed for what they achieved in their careers. They are no Shawn Michaels or Steve Austin's

Lance Storm was one of the best things about WcW imo(and ECW) and the man was a hell of a worker.

He got killed by the 'Boring' promo in WWE, he could and should have been a much bigger deal but that just destroyed his heat.

Anyone else not like Bryan? I find the Yes chants annoying, the guy has a typical mid 30s bloated midriff and also sports a weird beard. We know how talented he is but he's limited to the same sh1t everyweek in WWE.

The clown just goes Yes Yes Yes every time he gets on the mic, there's no depth to the character and his matches follow the same shallow pattern. I watched Mania with non wrestling fans and they couldn't get him at all.

Shallow Pattern? My god you could not be so more wrong. The guy literally has everything in his arsenal. He can do a slow technical match, he can do the wild brawls and he can do some high flying spots. he has been known to do all the above in one match. What he is doing at the moment works for the moment. He will move off from this as he is adaptable, he knows what an audience wants.

With regard to his character, each to their own. I personally like it. I have always liked whatever character he has played, but I have always been a hopeless mark for the guy.

That surely not unpopular. Hes one of my all time favs. Could have been as good as Benoit if used right in WWE

What correlation should there be between those things though? Anybody can hold a strong opinion about wrestling (or anything else). I have plenty myself despite Vision of Disorder's wrestling career encompassing zero matches (if only I wasn't so scrawny... ).

With all due respect, he's nowhere near Benoit. I doubt he ever enters anyone's Top 20. He's never made it to WrestleMania (which ain't right) and had never held a World Title. Lance was good. Not great.

What would be the most entertaining thing Lance Storm has done? (Not his in-ring work) Something the showcases his personality?

Probably Team Canada in WCW

I can't remember where I read/heard recently that Storm was afraid of the heat he would get (from fans) for being in the unamericans group.

The Yes chant has become very irritating. It looks even worse when he has a belt in both hands.

He should stop forcing it by raising his arms every five seconds. Do it on his entrance only.

WWE do love to flog a dead horse though. It will be interesting to see how over it is 3 months down the line.

His matches are great and I was impressed by some of his recent backstage pass promos etc.

Need s something new though.

I'm with Lance Storm: I'm not a fan of the Adam Rose gimmick.

It beats the late 80s/early 90s, double-jobbing wrestler/gamehunter, doomed to fail nonsense Rose/Kruger had before it every time.

Moneymaker

If the theme wasn't awesome he'd have nothing.

Has about 12 months shelf like max.

About the same as any other nxt gimmick. Not many have clicked with the fans. Big E, Rusev, Woods and Emma all are as shallow as a puddle character wise.

Ah The Shield and The Wyatts have. Cesaro has too. Its liek every gimmick, so have legs some dont, its how they are used.

The Shield were repackaged for the main roster though so it wasn't an Nxt gimmick as such. Bray Wyatt is a good counterpoint though. I like The Ascension too.

Cesaro has been repackaged a few times(rugby player, yoddeler, strong man), The Shield were debuted as a trio on WWE tv. I don't think the talent lacks but who thought Emma's gimmick would go down well on tv?

Very harsh IMO, to the point I'd almost say it's factually incorrect. Someone's in-ring achievements don't necessarily correlate to them being good communicators of valid opinion in their subject of expertise, in the same way that Pele and Maradona have never been successful football coaches. Regal and Storm are both well-traveled, well-regarded by peers, great communicators and have since gone on to re-invent themselves with a new life now their in-ring careers have run their course: Regal being a renowned talent spotter and Storm training young wrestlers. Not even Hogan and Flair have done that. Both men should have any thoughts on wrestling immediately taken seriously, they have serious credibility. And all of that is irrespective of what you think of them in the ring.

Can't stand another minute of him burying their current WWE Champion or making fun of Paige.

It's natural for gingers to have pale skin, Paige just looks weird.
