It Has Finally Been Found: The Worst Wrestling Opinion

Baron Corbin King
WWE

An expression of irritated boredom by the lifer wrestling fan who cares enough to write this opinion down somewhere is not, in fact, a glowing commendation of a villain you should want to see get his ass kicked.

Christ, if Baron Corbin f*cked your mother to the point of intense pleasure, right in front of you, and she screamed with her eyes rolling into the back of her head - and a fan then critiqued it by saying "This isn't particularly effective pro wrestling television" - you'd cheer him on.

"Attaboy, Baron! You show those smarks!

WWE didn't make wrestling bigger, they made WWE bigger at the expense of wrestling in the U.S. There was only ever one "smoky bingo hall" in wrestling, and WWE ripped it off to get big again years later. This is another bad take. There are several.

But the worst, goddamn, the worst...

"You would like angle/match/storyline/development X if AEW did it!" is the worst opinion of all time and it should not be uttered without wearing a face mask.

It cropped up on Twitter following the "cinematic" Money In The Bank Ladder match, which Bryan Alvarez apparently would have enjoyed "if it was AEW".

Right.
