Unpopular Opinions

Prowler: I can agree with a lot of that, but not Booker and Owen. I just didn't care for the King Booker gimmick (although it sure helped add a couple years to Booker's career). I thought Owen was great, but his overall lack of enthusiasm for the business probably hurt, as well as blowing out his knee in the early-90s.

Different strokes, I guess. I'm all the way with you that Michaels was overrated and Goldberg underrated, though. Jannetty was every bit the talent Michaels was, he just wasn't friends with the right people and too often let his vices get the best of him, which he himself readily admits to.

For my own unpopular wrestling opinions, Hogan over Flair, every day forever. Only further reinforced by being in the business for the last few years. Every single person in the biz will tell you, "The guy who makes the most money is 'The Best Worker', regardless of how many moves they do or don't have." I love them both, but Hogan's a global mega-star 20 years after his last super-good match, and Flair's only known by wrestling fans. "Hulk Still Rules", brother.
