I have literally never enjoyed Chris Jericho.
Adam Cole right now, I've never 'got' it and I still don't.
The Young Bucks. Very hard to find them entertaining doing anything.
Edge. Respect him for coming back from an injury but I've never really enjoyed his work.

Currently, I'm not a fan of Seth Rollins. He just annoys the crap out of me. I hate his entrance theme, too. He's great in-ring though, and I did like him before this gimmick.
Can't stand Brock, these days. Even when he changed it up as a face, I couldn't get into him. The thought of watching another Brock match makes me sick.
Becky does nothing for me, either. She's annoying on the mic and I'm not a fan of her ring work, either (though, she's had some great matches). Haven't seen anything from her before 2019, though.
As for older wrestlers, I wasn't a huge Austin fan but I didn't dislike him. He just didn't do much for me compared to the other main eventers at the time.

Once I hit my teens, Undertaker just didn't do it for me. Found him corny and repetitive, and then the backstage stories soured me even more.
Orton is a guy who's such a good wrestler that it's weird I didn't like him, but I just didn't.
I disliked Reigns immensely and the forcing of him as the top guy is partly what led to me quitting WWE for good. I'd possibly enjoy heel Reigns from what I hear though.

In my teens in the late '90s, most WCW wrestlers like Goldberg, DDP, and the Four Horsemen. The nWo was cool as hell, and I'm supposed to like these boring guys who keep harping on about "tradition?"

I was more of a Matt guy because we're about the same age and know what it is like for a little brother to steal our thunder. -1999 Corporate Rock. Mister "I work harder on my catchphrases than my moves". I like him now, he's a wonderful person, but back then he's good enough for a chuckle but nothing else. -I don't get Adam Cole. He's just okay to me.

This is going to get me superheat but the only time I enjoyed Owen Hart is during his feud with Bret...I always felt like he was comparable to Bret in-ring but lacked that weird charisma Bret had. Owen also became seriously dejected and his performances showed as early as his tag team runs with Yoko and Bulldog. I unfortunately do not believe he would be held as high as he is if he would have simply went home. Dear God I wish he had.

I wanted to see Steve whip his ass. 😄

I’m sure I was in the minority, but I wasn’t a Hulkamaniac when I was a kid.
Hogan was on the card of the first show I attended in February 1992. But my wrestling fandom really took off that summer, and he was long gone by then. For the first few months, I was just trying to learn who everyone was and how this whole pro wrestling thing worked.
Sometime in 1993, I became a Ric Flair fan. As you might expect, that became a big problem when Hogan arrived a year later. I remember thinking “man, this guy (Hogan) is too powerful! He never loses!” Remember when we joked about Batista getting the Game Genie code for infinite title shots? Well, it was like someone gave Hogan the codes for infinite lives and infinite energy.
It wasn’t just Flair, either. Even though Big Van Vader was supposed to be the villain, I totally dug his look, music, and his feuds with Sting and Cactus Jack. That aura of destruction vanished instantly once he clashed with Hogan.

-Austin when he was in "Boring Invincible Austin" mode. I couldn't stand when they'd have like 12 people rush the ring and he'd effortlessly dispatch ALL of them. -Punk pretty much his entire career until his current "Old Man Punk" run.

Will Ospreay. Even disregarding that him and all his Swords of Essex mates are legit pieces of shit, he has terrible promos and terrible ring psychology. Seriously, ever seen how he was between making it big in NJPW and turning heel? Every promo was this "I am very important and I can change the world" stuff yelled into the mic I recognize that he has a lot of skill and talent, but Jeff Cobb and Great O-Khan are so much more actually interesting to me in his stable. I don't wish harm on him or anything, even with his assholish tendencies, but I was still finding myself thinking, "He's back, already? Okay, fine, then."

While i disagree i thought Owen was great and always enjoyed his matches,i do agree with some of what you're saying.he did look dejected.even more so after Bret left.i thought they missed a trick with owen after the screwjob.He could have had a good fued with HBK but instead it died after a couple weeks then he just slipped diwn the card

Shawn Michaels since intercontinental days, Steve Austin since WCW days (marked so hard when Duggan beat him within 10 seconds for US belt), Ric Flair ever since I saw him and his metropolitan playboy antics that looked too southern and too cheap. I'm pretty sure there are a lot more. Was never a fan of Rock and Cena but I didn't hate them. Oomph Triple H ever since the day I saw him with his stupid blue blood gimmick. I always wondered why was he in WWF In Your House video game when he was low-mid card. I also couldn't stand Lord Steven Regal so maybe that's why I didn't like Triple H cause apparently I hate English royal gimmicks. I absolutely despised WCW rend and yellow Hulk Hogan.
