Very hard nowadays for me to rate wrestling or wrestlers with the scripted promos that are basically the same fukin one for everyone!
The technical ability seems ,imo, to be a lost art as the matches,especially in wwe , all follow pretty much the same formula!
Remember when every damn wwe finish was wrestler a gets distracted at ringside and wrestler b rolls wrestler a up from behind for a 3 count!
Imo, there's very little done nowadays to allow wrestlers to really show what they can do as so many ,if not most, get watered down !
I am also not a fan of the flippity floppers!
Just like having blood, it's fine for some of that im small doses or when it really means something... not in every damn match!
If wrestlers in the opening match are doing crazy dives and moves,then what do the semi and main eventers have to do to get their match over?
There's just no rhyme or reason anymore,imo !
Charisma goes a long way for me!~ You either have it or u don't ! Too many wrestlers are forced down our throats when the are a charisma vacuum,ie Adam Page,imo
Gimmicks that make some sense are fine but shit gimmicks like thatn fukin Orange Cassidy just make me wanna puke!
Crowd interaction is good but if the wrestletrs' idea of good interaction is to just yell and scream at the fans then its a waste,ie. bayley !
As far as looks go,it all depends! i definitely dont want everyone to have damn near the same look whether it be attire or physique!
However when u have someone like that midget with luchasaurus and Jungle Boy or the like,then im tuning out!
now remember,im an old 55 so i was brought up way different!
The main goal of promotions back then was to use theri tv as a commercial to sell their product and get you to PAY to go to the atrenas to watch the big match ups!
they didnt give everything away on tv as they do now!
Promos from the wrestlers got them and their feuds over!
Again,different times !
Ofc the above is just my take on it but there are some wrestlers i really like so its not all bad!
