When I went to my first Smackdown taping in early 2011 there was a little girl in line who said her favorite wrestler was Kelly Kelly. I would grow to resent K2 but that was very sweet and I can see how the kids liked her. The Bella Twins are making an effort to grow as wrestlers. Honestly it seems like most Divas improve eventually, they just start from the "as green as possible to be allowed in a non-backyard wrestling ring" position so it takes a while. Nash's politicking kinda helped ruin WCW but I cannot hate him because the nWo segments where he and Scott Hall are clearly just goofing around on camera are loving hilarious. The man is doing what he loves.

Big Zeke used the torture rack as a finisher. I love the torture rack. Mason Ryan seems to be really trying to improve in NXT. Virgil finally standing up to the Million Dollar Man was an incredible moment. Going back and watching old Lex Luger matches, the guy wasn't that bad. Lex had his fair share of awful matches but when he tried he was a solid performer.

If Luger hadn't gotten injured and had decided to consistently gave a gently caress throughout his career (and none of the other nasty stuff had happened to him that left him unable to perform), he'd have probably turned out to be about as good as Sting is: a solid performer who is capable of having passable-to-above-average matches with most people and really good matches with the right person. Pre-injury, still-giving-a-gently caress Luger was not at all awful and it's obvious why so many people pushed him to the moon: he looked fantastic and was a solid worker and they assumed he'd continue to improve. Welp...  Same goes for Warrior (though he probably wouldn't have turned out quite as good), only replace getting injured with "...if he'd ever given a single solitary poo poo about the business". Dude looked great, cut... erm, "entertaining" promos and had a ton of energy. He just stunk to high heavens in the ring and had no intention of getting any better since he was already getting main event money. Sting is basically the high water mark for what a wrestler can become if he comes into the business with a good look but green as goose poo poo yet actually cares about the business and about having good matches and about learning to be better. I like Sting, so this isn't a nice thing about a wrestler I hate. It's just qualifying the previous two comments.

Tammy Sytch was the most downloaded celebrity of 1997 or some poo poo so I guess that's probably pretty impressive or something. She was also romantically involved with an extremely good worker (insert your own joke here).

Tammy was a pretty drat good heat magnet and manager. Yeah, a lot of her reaction and success was based on her being hot and not being ashamed to pander to the crowd and cameras and that can seem weak after a couple of decades of Sables, Torrie Wilsons, and Kelly Kellys but I always thought Tammy was an old school heel manager who just happened to also be the first smoking hot Diva.

Some of his other changes were dumb, but I kinda get where Bill Watts was going with top rope moves being illegal. It would give heels another way to heel it up, would have meant more when a face did it as an act of desperation and was really no more or less arbitrary than a lot of wrestling rules. It usually gets brought up as the prime example of what a dumb, out of touch hick he was, but there are way better examples (such as removing the ringside padding and having wrestlers bump on hard concrete to prove how much more manly than the WWF they were).

Yeah but they were having matches with people like Pillman, so he completely cut him off at the knees. So it was really going backward when high flyers were the future.

I admit Sunny was my first celebrity crush back when I discovered what I liked back when everyone at my middle school was going nuts over Sable who never did anything for me. Batista is great when he has the motivation to perform which I always felt was his major drawback that he never personally addressed. If he fixed that or got coaching earlier on in his career we'd all be marking out like it was The Rock circa 2011 all over again. The Great Khali is a great circus attraction Jack Swagger put effort into his Real American gimmick back when it first started and I believed it.

Miz seems to have strange moments of being legitimately entertaining, like somewhere deep down there is a pretty decent main eventer buried under the crap, but he got pushed too hard too early and now it's just a fleeting twinkle in his eye, never to be fully developed. I kinda lost the train there for positive but I guess the nice thing is it's mainly the company's fault for the insane Mizamania push and stupid poo poo like that.
