Which wrestler or wrestlers do you most respect, and which wrestler or wrestlers do you least respect and why?

Tommy Platinum

Most Respect:

Undertaker
For staying with the company for almost 2 decades, for getting better with age and being fucking amazing over the past few years and putting the young guys to shame, for making his opponents look good, and for bumping and selling like nobody's business despite his age. Also for damn near killing himself at Wrestlemania in the name of entertainment despite being a broken down old man. I'm willing to overlook his obvious McCool policiting, that's how epic he is.

John Cena
Ignores all the hate and disrespect and just gets on with his job. Probably one of the hardest working guys I've seen in wrestling with all his various commitments outside the ring as well as his hard work in it. Great guy to have representing your company and doesn't seem like he'd ever be a dick to fans.

Mick Foley
May seem a strange one to some considering how he has whored himself out over the last few years, but this is basically because of his work ethic, his willingness to put his body on the line to entertain the fans, and above all, the fact that I've read his books and in general he basically seems like one of the nicest guys you'd ever care to meet, as well as having a great mind for the business.

CM Punk
Not for his straightedge lifestyle, but for the fact that unlike so many of the current crop of wrestlers in WWE, this guy has actually busted his ass in the indies and paid his dues, producing great matches, wrestling in 60 minute draws, taking nasty bumps and blading on shitty pay etc. Most of the WWE guys just seem like they don't deserve to be there and don't appreciate their spot. I imagine Punk does. He's worked for it.

Least Respect:

Any diva who isn't Mickie/Gail/Beth/Natalya/Katie/Melina
Basically have no place in wrestling. Look at someone like Kelly Kelly... does she belong in a wrestling ring? Does she fuck. Just a dumb young talentless blonde getting way too much too soon. Obviously McCool is the worst though, but the Bellas are also pretty lolworthy, only being employed because they have a twin sister n all.

Triple H
I respect his ability (kinda) and some of the great moments he produced in his younger days, but I can't overlook his obvious politicing and the fact that he is so detrimental to the product. Still the strongest booked in the world in 2009? Come on....

Batista
Because he's lazy, doesn't seem like he wants to be there and by all accounts seems like a twat outside the ring.

Randy Orton
Again, seems like a first class prick.

I don't have respect for any wrestlers, I don't know them. It's the same for anybody I've never met.

People respect wrestlers because they entertain and give their lives for the business. But they're paid for it, it's a job, they gain fame and it's what they want to do. Until I meet one and I find him or her to be a thoroughly decent person, then I'll have respect for them.
