Guys who's act got really stale

[Essential1]

What guys got so stale that you couldn't bare to see them on TV anymore?

I've I remember a few for me.

Kane 05-10 bald - Kane in general got old for me mostly after his first heel run but it seemed like the same old thing with him every week for years so when his music hit I used to cringe. Not really my cup of tea in the ring and I even prefered Viscera in the ring when they both were around.

Dudley Boyz 2004 - They done it all and were just getting boring.

Booker T - 2004 same as Dudleys, it was the same old thing

RVD 2004 - Got tired of his face persona, needed a heel run...never got one though.

[Dean-o]

For me, it was The Hurricane, and any time The Rock was a face and his promos consisted of the same stale catchphrases over and over again.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Ken Anderson. and he's still doing the same schtick years later.

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

Eugene....awesome at first, but with no character progression except for the heel turn (he was still the same character, only upset), he got boring quick.

[Section 8]

I'm amazed that no has said Cena yet.

John Cena - yeah, I know...but I just can't stand the sight of him anymore and when I hear his music...I change the channel.

Buh-Buh Ray Dudley - I never liked the Dudley Boys even during the early 2000's in WWE. I watched a little bit of TNA and now he's a biker? I know it's a knock off of a show, but still...he's the same character he was earlier in TNA but now he's the leader of a biker gang?...Okay...lol. He's basically the same boring character just with hints of being a biker now...YAWN!

Triple H - I used to like him back in the early 2000's. Now whenever he shows up on screen I just want to leave the room. So boring. Same boring promos and same boring matches...I'm getting bored just talking about him.

Hulk Hogan - Talk about the same old crap. Like I mentioned earlier...I started watching a little of TNA again recently and I couldn't believe Hogan is STILL doing his very stale and boring act. I love how he's out there talking about [insert random young guy's name here] about being "the future of the business" but constantly takes their big moments away from them. It's like he thinks we need him to tell us this stuff..lol. It's like shut the hell up idiot and let this guy have his chance. He's a definite channel changer if I ever seen one (to me anyways.)

Mr.Kennedy/Anderson - he just makes me want to puke every time he's on screen. That's all I can say about him. He just sickens me to have to look at him. Another sure fire channel changer.

Those are the main ones for me.

Austin during his dreadful "Sheriff Austin" phase. No-one even got close to getting over without him coming down the ramp and stunning them. Every time I heard his music I felt like changing the channel.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

RVD - Since 2006 he's just been a waste of space. The last time I enjoyed him was in the Cena/Edge/RVD Title battle and even then he was the weak link. I'm looking forward to his return at MITB because I know the pop will be huge but after that I hope he's done. I had to deal with RVD for the last four years in TNA, I don't want to now have to deal with him in WWE.

[Allie Kitsune]

Hurricane. Especially after how great Gregory Helms was during his "It's Time" phase, with JBL hyping up how great he was every week.

Hornswoggle.

Triple H.

X-Pac. Possibly THE most infamous example.

Here's a match-specific one. Matt Hardy's "act like I just suffered a massive head injury" act during every match, where he'd stumble around and miss his punches, then grab the back of his head.

Rey Mysterio.

3 Minute Warning - To me through most of their run were just channel changers for me.

Big Show - During his beanie wearing babyface run he was almost as cringeworthy as Sheamus

Cade and Murdoch - Same old thing they just started getting bigger opponents in 2007 but still bored me to tears. Especially Murdoch.

Chris Masters - 2005-2007 How could I forget? I mean how many Masterlock challenges did it take Vince to realise nobody cared anymore. He lacked so much charisma he made Shelton Benjamin look like The Rock.

[thirteen3]

New Age Outlaws got really stale with Edge and Christian, The Dudleys and The Hardyz tearing hit up. They began to look really out of place.

[The Ichi]

Randy Orton. I can successfully predict what he'll do in the ring before he does it. Why is he not the easiest wrestler to defeat?

What annoys me about this is that he's somehow considered a psychological master.

[thecrusherwi]

I would say Mick Foley ever since his Commissioner Foley days. He progressively got stale and even with some tweaks like in 2006, he's still basically the exact same "hey everyone look at me and recognize just how hard working and humble I am!" After his TNA run, I really don't have much need to see him in an important role of any kind ever again.

[The Baltimore Staircase]

Destiny Del Rio and his ever changing definition of the word.

Here was a guy who debuted and drew massive heat with his pre-wheel of aggression attacks, and that oh so arrogant attitude.

For whatever reason they kept the attitude/ego but took away his killing streak and then had the nerve to wonder why he wasn't getting massive heel responses.

They just sent him out there and kept telling him to mention his destiny.

[froggyfrog]

Orton, Ceba, Rey

[Been burned too many times]

Rob Van Dam
Vickie Guerrero("EXCUSE ME!" still works for her though, I guess)
Punk's act during the last part of his title reign where he kept talking about how long he held the title.
Ric Flair

[BRV]

I think John Cena gets an unfair shake when it comes to discussing his abilities in the ring, but I can't disagree with people's criticisms of his overall staleness. I can't name one difference between 2007 John Cena and 2013 John Cena. He hasn't evolved one damn bit in over six years.

[mcmahonfan85]

heel Edge and super cereal Jericho

[woowoowoox]

Since Cena is the obvious one - Undertaker. I don't mind seeing him now since he only pops up for WrestleMania, and the matches are always good, but before that I just never wanted to watch anything to do with him.

[Been burned too many times]

I also thought Team Hell No had gotten stale before Bryan broke away from Kane and started having more singles matches.
