Patrick B. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 There are people who I just don't "get" who get a ton of praise in circles such as these. They're obviously talented but they just don't click with me for whatever reason. I don't know what it is about Adam Cole, but he's one of those people.

Technico Support Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Alberto El Patron. It's probably because he still has the stink of WWE's boring midcard on him, but I just can't get into the guy. He's just so bland. I have no idea what he's supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I do but I still ffwd through his stuff. I'll give him a try but "angry ex WWE guy who punched a dude for being a bigot" is a weak gimmick to hang your sombrero on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I enjoyed- His match with Johnny Mundo at Ultima Lucha which airs in about a month His squash of Marty the Moth last week The Atomicos match that airs this week - just a fun match all around His gimmick is that he's a rich classy guy, perhaps moreso than Dario Cueto himself, and he's OUT FOR REVENGE and will murder Johnny Mundo at the earliest opportunity.

SirSmUgly Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sheamus. He throws hard strikes. Great. I like those. Still, I don't care about him and haven't seen a Sheamus match that I've enjoyed in years. I thought Sheamus/Cesaro was mediocre. If you're making Cesaro matches mediocre, you suck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Its crazy to me that Sheamus has only been around since 2009. Even with his new look and heel turn he just feels so stale. And I like his ring work for the most part. I just think he should be in a tag team for a while or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah, Sheamus isn't blatantly terrible. I shouldn't have said that he sucked. He's just a dude who has nothing 10-15 minute matches every week and who can't work a mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Kayfabe Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sheamus would be fine in the US/IC title picture but the every couple year push to main event level is just silly. He's not a main event guy. And that's fine. I'd agree with Kane being a guy who shouldn't be wrestling anymore - especially not in long singles matches. R Truth is up there too - the guy has to have pictures of somebody. As far as Diva's go, Tamina may very well be the worst wrestler on national TV right now.

Kaptain Kayfabe Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So there is a report that OVW has been sold. Not that it really matters at this point who owns it, but still sad to see this happen. And as much as I despise the man, I'd LOL if Ian Rotten bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't come across in LU. Are we just supposed to assume he's a rich, classy guy because that was his WWE gimmick? I haven't seen him in a suit or driving an expensive car to the ring in LU. Shit, he even wrestled in a T-shirt AND his boots still said "ADR" at least once or twice. Nothing rich about not buying new gear. I'll definitely stay off the ffwd button for his next matches and give him a chance. As I said, I think a big part of it was how dull he came across in WWE. EDIT: It's still not as bad as Son of Havoc's "masked biker who does Crossfit" gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It looks like they say ADR, but they say AR, his real initials. I caught his scarf and it has them on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Alberto is best as a heel and they need to turn him on LU, but they can't possibly do that until the possible next season. You can tell his promo game immediately jumped after the WWE writers weren't putting words in his mouth. It's been awhile since I can find someone I can irrationally hate, like a Jeff Jarrett or a Justin Credible, in modern wrestling. Even Miz will eat shit for our pleasure, even Tetsuya Naito will pull a good match out of his overrated ass every once in awhile. Hell I even like Kofi right now. Kane is up there though. If I watched ROH more someone from there would probably top the list. EDIT: Oh yeah! My/our least favorite LU performers, Killshot and Sexy Star, would top it. At least Sexy looks good.

Curt McGirt Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Like someone who is actually really good and you just hate them... hmmmm... probably Okada. I would say Naito but his heel work is endearing. Same for Tanahashi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Pretty much all of the WWE midcard has me apathetic, but Sheamus in particular is an automatic fast forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm good with Sheamus simply because the heel turn freshened up his character. Don't see nearly enough New Japan stuff to properly judge those guys. Okada comes off as a bit generic to me; thankfully Gedo provides the personality aspect to that package. Gedo is such a hateable flunkie, but I'm never sure if Okada's supposed to be a face or a heel. Ditto Lucha Underground as I've only seen a lot of those wrestlers in the context of LU. Haven't seen Sexy Star's other work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
