    Not sure if it's unpopular as such, but I think Bob Holly should have been World Heavyweight Champion at some stage.

    It's unpopular with me, the chap had no character.

    I was a fan of "Big Evil" Undertaker (2002-2003), I loved his theme music that he was using during that time
    Knacker Taker was great imo

    I like Rusev.

    Reminds me of an Umaga rather that. Vladimir Koslov in how he looks agile and powerful rather than awkward.

    I don't think much of his finisher, could do better there, make use of his agility and strength.

    His current Gimmick needs work but since it's just an introduction it should do the job of making people think heel.

    I like him too, he looks like a beast, the gimmick is very 80's but if they give him something good to do or a decent feud it could go somewhere.

    He needs to be kept seperate from the authority though , Let him squash a few more people and then have some one rise up and properly take him on but still have him go over

    I agree with this. Didn't like him as an extra in that 11 v 3 match vs The Shield. Shouldn't be mixing with anyone or being subservient to anyone (bar the smoking hot Lana)

    Rusev has a lot more about him then Kozlov ever did. Everything down to Kozlovs, even his ring attire was just dreadful. And after that godawful match with HHH there was no way back for Kozlov.

    The classic 'foreign heel' gimmick is so dated and overdone though.

    I find Sting to be very overrated. I don't get the love for him being this great "legend" at all. He's not a hall of fame candidate for any credible hall of fame.

    I loved The Miz when he was WWE Champion. Its weird, they pushed him well before he become champ. Now hes just in the midcard vacuum.

    Agreed, was never a fan. He was a typical, vanilla, late 80's babyface with nothing particularly standout about him - like a smaller Ultimate Warrior. It just so happened Flair needed a foil and he was the guy. He then benefitted from an Undertaker rip-off gimmick before bastardising his career late on with his TNA run, showing up just how mediocre he could be without a big marketing machine behind him.

    I'd still stick him in the HoF though, if a guy gets that over for that long at the top then he's done something right. Sting, Goldberg and DDP always held their own on top of WCW while they were beating WWE.

    It's easy to spot those who never seen Sting at his peak. He is more deserving than 90% of the Hall of Fame already.

    It's just a differing opinion. I mean, I love splashes in the corner from a non-big guy as a major offensive weapon as much as anyone, but I dunno if that alone gets you into the HoF. Flair carried him to greatness (not to be confused with how people carry the Great Khali for the record, before people think I'm winding them up) during his in-ring peak and a decent gimmick carried him the rest of the way. He was decent, just not one of the best that people make him out to be for me.

    I had an English teacher in secondary school who one day started a class by saying how every life has a peak - you're born, you die but somewhere between those two points your life peaks.

    When was Sting's peak? Ric Flair giving him great matches in the late 80s, ripping off The Crow and having average to poor matches in the late 90s or wrestling in a t-shirt in front of a few hundred people in TNA?

    Bray Waytt is overrated. The guy is a pain to watch and his promos are stale.

    Oh god yes. His promos are actually above average, but his ring work is probably below average and to me he is a prime example of how if the WWE tells you enough times to care about someone people normally do.

    He did have a last minute appearance to make somewhere else, I guess you could say he did it for the people.

    He reminds me of Attitude Era stable guys, who had a good gimmick and average in ring skills, I like the Wyatts though

    I honestly think average would be doing Bray's in-ring skills a favour though. He is well below average.

    Bollox. I hate people who have never seen him wrestle outside of a Raw/Smackdown/PPV say that. Look at his matches in NXT and then come back to me and say he is average. I have no problem with people not liking him but saying he is well below average in the ring is a lie.

    Cesaro needs to lose the rugby leg thingys and crack back out the beret again.

    Maybe "European" it up a bit more.

    It's actually true, but maybe if you say it more aggressively it may become a lie. Need to try harder.
