Post a wrestler/gimmick/company/match stipulation/etc that others like but you just don't get. Other posters will post youtube links etc to try to enlighten you. DO NOT POST A NEW REQUEST WITHOUT ANSWERING THE ONE ABOVE YOU.
I'll start us off.
Make me like...
Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan, while looking like a dope who has no business in a wrestling ring, is a throwback to the era of Bret Hart-like ring work and selling. He sells so well, you think he's ACTUALLY been injured, and he is buttery smooth in the ring when transitioning from move-to-move or spot-to-spot or segment-to-segment. He just GETS in-ring psychology. He knows that matches are supposed to make a viewer FEEL.
He also is wonderfully charismatic, and can really rile up a crowd into either feverently supporting him or trying to get him to shut up.
He gave us maybe the most fun, interactive gimmick/catch phrase of all time?
And he seems like a truly great dude. He is a dedicated family man, he is honored that fans care as much as they do about his work, and all he wants in life is to make people happy and enjoy watching him work.
So that's why you should like Daniel Bryan.
(I'm at work, or I'd post some videos. I will later)
Okay, for me: I never got the godlike adoration that Arn Anderson gets. He's a decent #2 sidekick guy and tag worker, but to hear the Internet go on about him, he should have been a multiple time world champ. I don't DISLIKE him, but I think he's insanely overrated and miscalculated in his historical significance. Make me like him on the level others do!
