Other: Sin Cara. He touches the ropes a little bit on his first entrance and suddenly he's a botch machine according to some people. I don't hate a lot of things, but I especially hate his treatment by those people. Very much agreed on Sin Cara, as well as Ted DiBiase, who gets nowhere near the credit he deserves for his in-ring capabilities. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't note that Eve has what it takes to be entertaining and great in the ring if given the chance, rather than just left in limbo and then thrown the strap for no reason. Given the people there, I voted for Cena. Is he overexposed? Definitely. Could he do for a little technique training? Perhaps. But there aren't a lot on the roster that I can think of go above and beyond the way Cena does when it comes to his activities with children and his work with the Make a Wish Foundation; the "catering to kids" that he gets so much flack for. The way people jump on him (not here, but in other corners of the internets) is baffling, not to mention uncalled for.

I left Eve out (as well as all the other Divas) because it'd seem weird to refer to a woman as a Whipping "Boy", unless we're talking about Brie Bella.

Drew, definitely. He should be a star. The Chosen One thing just sucked, but it's what he was given. And I've heard so many people say Ted is a bad wrestler. Where the hell did that come from? Ted is fantastic wrestler who pulls off technical and powerful very well.
Also, "yeah people say he's not good but he gets a pop" is the dumbest argument ever. The fans these days will cheer for any face who wins a lot.

I didn't know Jacob Novak was considered an internet whipping boy. He's improved a lot with his feud with Regal.

Lots of people still say Drew is "boring" and "has no charisma'. I'd like to see him get a push over just about anyone at this point. I'm glad that some people see how much he's improved the last few months.

Drew McIntyre hasn't been an IWC whipping boy since dropping the Chosen One schtick. I have NO idea why he's winning this poll.
Sin Cara is becomming one though, which is extremely strange to me.
John Morrison too.

Rey Mysterio by far. Guy works ass off in ECW, WCW, then the WWE, suffers the indignity of being forced to remove his mask along the way, gets a grand total of *two* token title reigns despite being one of the E's most over faces and one of their biggest merchandise movers, and suddenly he's Mexi-Cena?
Bullcrap.

Will never ever understand all the Rey hate. The guy is still one of the best workers on the roster and has consistently great matches with every opponent he goes up against.

The easy winner so far this year is Randy Orton just for beating Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Voted for Drew, but is Heath really an IWC whipping boy? I thought everybody loved his selling at least.

Drew. It's baffling how bad a rap he's gotten. I mentioned on Twitter that I wanted to see more of him on TV and got trolled because of it. WTF?

I echo all the Rey sentiments. During my 12 years posting among fellow IWC, I've noticed a few things we always complain about regarding WWE:
1.) WWE will never push a WCW guy in favor of their own homegrown talent.
2.) Cruiserweights are never taken as serious as the big men.
3.) International stars and wrestlers of a different ethnicity are not pushed as much as they should be.
And bam, WWE rectifies the situation by making Rey one of their biggest stars and we still complain and bury the guy with hatred? Mysterio naysayers will also complain about how sluggish he is in the ring now, forgetting of all the injuries accrued while he worked his tail off for us with all those great matches in the 90s and early 2000's (which we don't complain much of coincidentally.)

McIntyre by a large margin. When he first started out in the WWE, nearly everyone here was out for his blood.

People don't get why Rey catches crap? It's the same reason Cena & Orton do: the booking of their characters. We blame the writers & agents, but the wrestlers are the ones we actually see and therefore associate our dislike with. All the good matches in the world doesn't hide the fact that, at times, these guys get shoved down our throats. As a result, people change their views of them. It's that simple. The dislike is deserved. Since the wrestlers are the ones we see, they fall on the sword. Sorry about their damn luck.
Also, Rey pretty much cut Ziggler off at the knees when they were feuding. After said undercutting, Rey got Wellness'd and still didn't drop the title to Ziggler. It took Dolph a while to recover.
