And now we find ourselves at those FAN most dislikes. Given the cutoff last time on the writeups was limited to those only in the top 20 slots, what's it going to be this time?
Well, there isn't one, everybody gets a write-up, let's GOOOOOO! . . . For half of it, I'm segmenting this.
The "No" Rankings (#34 - #19)
34. Dana Brooke (31.9% - 37.4% - 30.8%)Previous score: 26.5% - 53.1% - 20.4%Quite a big turnaround on Dana Brooke this year (including a large chunk of voters apparently no longer sure how they feel about her), but she sadly just can't quite escape the negative pile yet. Maybe next year, huh, Dana? Assuming you actually manage to make it on TV sometime in that year?
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Maybe try wrestling Sarah Logan a few times, that might do the trick.
33. Curtis Axel (34.8% - 39.1% - 26.1%)Previous score: 41.2% - 37.2% - 21.6%Poor Curtis Axel managed to slip into the negatives after narrowly avoiding it last time. Far from perfection, but at least he find himself on the lower end of the rankings, right? And he can take solace in being the A member of the B-Team. Everything's coming up Axel! . . . Except him being here anyway I guess but hey, what're you going to do? Well, what I suggest is. . .
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Remember back when Axel was a Mizfit? How about when he kept winning by count out, even in no-DQ matches? How about when the B-Team won the tag titles? How about when the ring wasn't a swimming pool? My point is Axel should probably start actually doing things again. When's the last time the guy was even on TV? Speaking of. . .
32. Viktor (17.4% - 43.5% - 39.1%)Previous score: 15.6% - 55.1% - 29.3%I struggled to come up with stuff to say about the Ascension last time, what do you expect out of me a year later when they've legitimately only been on TV one time since?
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: I dunno, try changing his face paint to do a Baseball Furies gimmick or something.
29A. Bo Dallas (29.3% - 44.6% - 26.1%)Previous score: 32.4% - 46.6% - 20.9%I just cannot Bolieve that so much of the forum dislikes a genuine superstar like Bo Dallas. I would've thought there was Bo chance in hell of anyone saying they dislike this man, much less very nearly half of all responders. And yet a large chunk of the forum also doesn't even know how they feel about him, despite the undeniaBo quality work he's been putting on day in and day out. You people are impossiBo to please.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Recruit numerous other unappreciated people like Rawley, JoJo, the soon to return John Morrison, the legendary Birdman, and D'Lo Brown to create the team of BoMojoJoJoMoKoKoLo.
29B. Konnor (16.3% - 44.6% - 39.1%)Previous score: 16.3% - 53.7% - 29.9%I struggled to come up with stuff to say about the Ascension last time, what do you expect out of me two entries later?
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Ship them to NXT and bring back the Fashion Files so they can be Breezango's wacky drop-in frienemies again.
29C. Titus O'Neil (33.7% - 44.6% - 21.7%)Previous score: 40.8% - 40.1% - 19%Makin' moves, makin' moves! . . . From the positive list to the negative one. Guess Titus could only keep up that valuable slide momentum for so long, though at least he didn't have the steepest drop from the Yes to the No section (we'll get to that in a second). Maybe he just can't overcome having forever associated himself with the 24/7 title by being the first champion. That's enough to ruin anybody's reputation.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Remember when Titus had a stable of himself, Apollo Crews (we'll come back to him), and Akira Tozawa, and people liked it and they had a lot of chemistry? Maybe try that again? Possibly? Just please never another segment with whoever that basketball dad was. Please.
28. Drew McIntyre (44% - 45.1% - 11%)Previous score: 63.3% - 22.4% - 14.3%KELLEH! MA POSITION'S CHANGED! I'm sure Drew had a party over his last ranking being so heavily positive, but the festivities have ceased! This time around it looks like Drew McIntyre got the worst of it from his trio of Lashley and Corbin in terms of the amount of effect it had on his placement, probably since he was the most popular of the lot to begin with. At least he still is? We'll come back to that.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: I was trying to find this old promo he did pre-initial WWE run where he cut a really ridiculous promo about how sexy he was, but I couldn't find that, so have this montage of Drew McIntyre set to Sex on Fire that I found while looking.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUvDcB-HzdY26A. Kalisto (30.4% - 45.7% - 23.9%)Previous score: 29.3% - 42.9% - 27.9%Kalisto gained in both positivity and negativity this year, but he was much further ahead in one than the other to start with so it didn't help him a whole lot. Still, no matter how you slice it coming in at this kind of placement certainly is not a good lucha thing, not at all.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Nothing. Seriously, I've got nothing. What on earth is wrong with people? This man was a LUCHA DRAGON. That's two cool things that are cool together. Could you imagine anyone else who's had that label having 45.7% disapproval? ... Okay, well, about that...
26B. Sin Cara (23.9% - 45.7% - 30.4%)Previous score: 27.9% - 42.9% - 29.3%Wait, they were also tied last year? I didn't even notice that, that's just weird. Do all of the exact same people dislike both of them? Is it possible to dislike one without disliking the other? I want to keep doing votes between these two just to see how long it takes to break the tie.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Ditching the gimp suit would be a good start. Bringing back the bike would be another.
25. Sunil Singh (8.8% - 49.5% - 41.8%)Previous score: 13.6% / 54.5% / 32%Okay, I'm pretty sure I did this one to Sunil by divulging the (at that point) one vote difference early so my bad. . . but he's still less hated than he was last year so well done regardless, Sunil! Maybe next year you'll manage to. . . I'm not going to say be popular but at least you might be able to beat Samir? Maybe? Probably not.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Be Samir instead, apparently.
24. Lio Rush (28.3% - 51.1% - 20.7%)Previous score: 34% - 42.9% - 23.1%Lio Rush returned to. . . some fanfare, not a whole lot, recently, but it doesn't seem like it did much to counter the bad press he was getting around the time he disappeared from Raw. Unfortunate but at least he's still more popular than his old buddy Bo Lash (that's what he calls him in private, they're buds).
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: See this?
Don't do this.
23. Apollo Crews (23.9% - 52.5% - 23.9%)Previous score: 18.2% - 42.6% - 39.2%Ouch, steep drop for Mr. Crews. Clearly this poll did not have much representation of all of his fans hailing from the great nation of Uhaa. This is why Titus dropped you, Apollo, what kind of man is less popular than his agent is?
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: I don't think he's terribly inclined to, he's just going to keep smiling regardless.
22. Maria Kanellis (33.7% - 53.3% - 13%)Previous score: 33.3% - 37.4% - 29.3%Here she comes again, like medicine that. . . apparently isn't very good given over half of the voters dislike the taste of it. A very sharp drop for Maria this time around - guess the GREATEST LOVE I'VE EVER KNOWN still isn't actually very much love on the whole.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Maybe stop verbally abusing her husband on international television? That might be a good start. Although maybe doing it more might earn her some further brownie points, given. . .
21. Mike Kanellis (24.2% - 53.8% - 22%)Previous score: 18.4% - 42.9% - 38.8%Serves him right for being a be. . . No, no, I'm not even going to go there ironically, anyone who uses that shit as an insult is an absolute moron. Ugh. At least his theme song rules.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Sorry, this storyline just ignores me, I'm gonna hurry through this.
20. Brock Lesnar (43.5% - 54.3% - 2.2%)Previous score: 36.7% - 57.1% - 6.1%So, uh. . . This placement probably would change a whole lot if we held the vote now, huh? Still, seems like Brock did manage to win some people over during the course of the past year. . . even if I am a little confused on how someone could possibly have no opinion on the guy who's been the final boss of the company for years on end now.
Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: Invent a time machine to undo Friday because it's probably all downhill from here for awhile. ... I'm sorry if these writeups are kind of ass, because this entire time this chunk of the list has been building up to. . .
19. Bobby Lashley (29.7% - 56% - 14.3%)Previous score: 29.7% - 54.1% - 16.2%Lizuka's tips on how to win people over: I mean, he already won over Lana, I think he's doing fine, thanks.
Next up, we start from number 15! . . . There are a lot of number 15s.
