Going to take some time and think on this one, great thread btw. 
Earned your respect
- Thread starter Kidd Dibiase
- Start date
I got a couple
- HBK VS SHELTON BENJAMIN - it wasnt an hbk carry job at all...benjamin went hard and the finish was awesome
- Terry funk vs ric flair i quit match. Too much of my opinion on funk is ecw and wwf
but fam this match: is incredible. - Chris benoit vs kevin sullivan falls count anywhere - BOTH of em. I thought benoit was a generic mat wrestler and sullivan a cartoon...
dead wrong...goat street fight match
SuikodenII
Where's Suikoden VI??????
CM Punk............. until the Jeff Hardy feud he was garbage to me

All Star
I always look back to Hardcore Heaven 99, and have nothing but respect for Jerry Lynn. It always makes me wish he could have gotten more out of his career but the man will always have that certified classic.

Johnny Nitro, his ladder match against Jeff Hardy. I respected MNM but he had a slow start transitioning to Raw as a singles star.
I never cared for Rusev outside of Lana 
and his Russian trap theme 
but his "Flag" Match at Summerslam recently got me like 
He got potential... don't fukk it up Vince.

1:Jeff Harvey my nikka but I was never big on him as a singles competitor. Back in the day it used to be Matt > Jeff
and while Mr. Harvey has come a long way, in 03 he sucked ass and even his early TNA run was pretty damn bland. His 2006 -2008 run was mild as hell too.
His matches with punk were just ok to me. As a fan I was still waiting for that 1 match for Jeff to solidify himself as a strong singles competitor at least in my eyes
little did I know this would not come in WWE but..........In TNA of all places. The nikka has had some his best matches in TNA.
The nikka has stepped his game up significantly since returning to TNA
And who could forget his legendary match against the Icon Stang
2: This Next nikka needs no introduction! Couldn't stand him as Mystico but as soon as he made his Dubya Dubya E debut I was like
Respect = Earned my nikka!
3:Scotty Flamingo / Johnny Polo / Raven
Hated this nikka back in the day his ring work, his gimmick, everything basically, BUT then he transformed into the 1 of the dopest characters ever
and everything bout the nikka improved especially his promo's though you could argue that was never his weak point.
Never thought that later I would be rooting for this nikka and ordering Flock / Raven T - shirts.

MVP is prob gonna own this thread. Just like everybody else, until that feud with Benoit, I didn't see shyt in him. As a character, he was OK. As a wrestler, he was blah. But looking back, I think that was part of the gimmick. They spent months with him getting easy bullshyt wins, and Teddy feeling like he wasted money on him cause he wasn't all he was cracked up to be... then he gets in there with one of the all-time technical greats, and he ends up hanging with him, and then eventually beating him decisively for the US title. Even on commentary, they put over how he was "surprisingly" outwrestling Benoit.
Trish Stratus... she came in there barely even able to execute a promo. Generic as they come. But in less than a year she was a solid performer and then went on to be arguably the best they ever had. And that means as a character as well as in the ring. She's earned all the respect she gets.
Mark Henry. Don't get me wrong, Mark was always OK. But OK's about it. Also, dude just never had much of a character besides being big and strong. Wasn't crazy about the Sexual Chocolate shyt. Also stayed getting injured so him being off TV was a given for years at a time. BUT... when he turned heel in 2011 and started the Hall Of Pain, he was a beast. The trash talking in the ring while whoopin' somebody's ass, the promos like the shyt with Lawler: "naysayers, huh? Oh, like YOU ain't one of 'em"
, the whole shyt was like 10x better than I'd ever seen him. That changed my tune on him and when he won that belt off Orton, I

Yeah, I was really
on Sheamus because his character's so cheesy and bland, but I started respecting his athleticism and then when he made me pop for a match with The Big Show at Hell In a Cell in 2012 and started White-Noising him , I figured I couldn't front on him anymore. Dude's move-set is seamless, he's strong as shyt, and he's versatile enough to sell a big moment (like getting Swiss Nightmare'd by Cesaro or eating that RKO a few weeks back).ADR was basically the heel version: kind of
to me up until that Payback match with Ziggler where he kept finding ways to punch/kick him in the head b/c Zigs had a concussion. One of the few times where I suspended belief and went, "Yo...knows how to tell a story in there." 
Gail Kim more so than Taryn Terrell. After Last Knockouts Standing and their ladder match, I peeped that Gail is always the X-factor in any Knockouts match being
or -worthy.Bram after these last couple matches with Abyss. Dude's legit.
Jesse Godderz because he had every opportunity to be another Miz in my eyes, but he's actually impressive. Didn't expect him to be able to work that well.

No doubt. Trish is a good one.
The Hall Of Pain made me realize how much potential he had. I can't really say the WWE dropped the ball with him because he was consistently on TV for most of his career and he got injured quite a bit. The 'E always cycle through big men and I thought he was one of the weakest, but ever since he was feuding for the title with Batista (and then got injured) and came with the Hall Of Pain, I was able to pay attention to how good he is at his role and his ability to put on surprisingly really good matches with a decent amount of other wrestlers.
His matches with Orton, Cena, and the Big Show/Bryan feud were really good and really entertaining. He's a natural on the mic and real believable so I'd like to see him get one last run with the belt or at least in contention. Have him beat Rusev and start building him up to face Lesnar. He doesn't have to win, but I think the crowd could get behind that for one PPV. They got unresolved beef anyway.
Chris Hero, I thought the guy was over-hyped, until Kings of Wrestling re-united and I became a big fan.
Guys like Big Show and Mark Henry earned my respect from interview and not matches, as they seem to really love the business and supporting future stars

Never like Paul Levesque but HHH earned my respect as a performer when it was brought to light that he worked that match in 2002 with a torn quad.
Dude was not cutting the match short and was on his, "Show must go on."
He could have did a lot more damage to that quad but he left it all out there for the people in attendance.
I had to salute that.
