| I think the smackdown women's division isn't very interesting and I feel like it's support comes from some forced need to be progressive instead of it coming naturally |

Glad I am not the only one who doesn't like it. That's literally a track that I honestly think could be fixed if you added either death growls or just made it instrumental. |

| I haven't been a fan of Zack Sabre Jr's since mid-2015. I was in love with his style, until I found PROGRESS in mid-2015 and saw just how talented the UK Scene was. Zack lost his specialness in my eyes, and became a bit dull and boring compared to the characters of Mark Haskins, Jimmy Havoc, Marty Scurll, etc. |

| I actually don't have a problem with chantable themes. Especially if the wrestler in question is supposed to be a Babyface. In fact, if anything a chantable theme is actually a really clever way to be market your character. |

| Roman is by far a better worker than Dean Ambrose.
Since the start of 2015 Roman has had more 4 star or above matches (based on my ratings obvs) than anyone else on the WWE roster. Granted a lot of that may be due to his opponents but Reigns can more than hold his own.
Alexa Bliss is the best female talker they've ever had.
This last one isn't really an unpopular opinion, just an opinion but get rid of the 5 minute overrun that RAW has and add that to Smackdown. A lot of great, important talent gets left off of their 2 hour show. I think they could greatly benefit from having an extra 5 minutes to add in another segment or two. Plus even though it's only 5 minutes, I think it could have pretty significant impact on the viewing pleasure of RAW. |

| If NXT was a brand and not a developmental territory, most of these careers that have seemingly gone nowhere since they've "moved up" to the main roster could have been prevented. |

| Oh yeah, here's another one.
NXT doesn't work. The product itself is great but the whole call-up system doesn't really work. I know WWE in recent months has tried to stray away from calling it a developmental brand but we all know that it is.
Wrestling isn't like other sports. You don't trade or release a player because he's old/can't afford him anymore/isn't worth his contract and then call up a top prospect to replace him. There are releases in wrestling but they're never to top guys and they're far less frequent compared to other sports where a team can look completely different from how it is now, in only about two years. And obviously you can't trade them away to another company.
There's no batting average, touchdowns, shooting percentage, the only stat there is in wrestling is money. And if you make it, they keep you. That creates a bottleneck at the top, especially when you consider that the career of a professional wrestler for the most part lasts longer than an athlete in another sport. NXT is only adding to that and making the bottleneck more congested, and there's a very limited number of top spots. But if they don't push guys like Owens, Nakamura, Joe, Balor, etc. to the top, the fans get angry and say they're wasting them.
It's really a lose/lose situation no matter how you look at it. |

| Samoa Joe should win the title at Great Balls of Fire because that title should never be off T.V for months at a time.
CM Punk has one of the absolute worst looking flying elbow drops of all time.
Putting the title on Jinder I had no problem with, switching the title so many times since the beginning of the year I have a huge problem with.
Not sure if those are unpopular but a few opinions I just thought of off the rip. |

| All the Rock's promos sound the same to me.
Also, speaking of talkers, Jake Roberts is indeed the greatest talker of all time, he always the most important thing about promo cutting; atmosphere. |

| Don't know if unpopular or not, but I wish finishers in pro wrestling were treated with more of a closure and finality. Nowadays one finisher rarely gets the job done, which sorta defeats the whole purpose of "finisher".
Rather watch a match with 1 well set up finisher than 3-4 spamming of them. |

Rather watch a match with 1 well set up finisher than 3-4 spamming of them. I actually do agree. A finishing move should be the be all end all of a match. Sure, a tease of a finisher is exciting, but it's way better when a finisher isn't kicked out of. |

| I actually like the Star Wars Prequels. Maybe its because I got into Star Wars through watching them first. Also, General Grievous FTW! |
