So you ever have someone that you're a fan of but then you start seeing them all the time and realize your love actually didn't go very deep

For a cult leader, Bray Wyatt wrestled more often than he should have.
Having more lackeys recruited and doing most of the televised wrestling would have made his character more effective if Wyatt only competed in bigger matches.

Bray Wyatt is great and if he returns I've no doubt he'll automatically be one of the most over guys in the business again but I really don't need to see him on TV every week. It ruins his mystique if he's just wrestling random matches. They were better about it with The Fiend character because he rarely wrestled and mostly stuck to vignettes. I think it would be interesting if he was this figure who you never know when he's going to strike. He can turn up to Raw/Smackdown every week and do stuff for the live crowd in between commercial breaks or for the dark main event so you're still getting your money's worth out of him and hopefully selling extra tickets that way but he only actually appears on TV once or twice a month.
Before AEW I would only see the Young Bucks once every few months either in NJPW or a random indy match on Youtube but once they started being regular characters on a weekly TV show they got real grating real quick.

I had this same problem with Petey Williams. Seeing clips online and catching the occasional match, the Canadian Destroyer seemed like the greatest finishing move of all time. Then he was hitting it on iMPACT every week, and I realized... "Wait... this doesn't really work...." |

Not a wrestler, but back in 2001 I thought Paul Heyman was a great commentator and delivered one of my all-time favorite promos in the buildup to Survivor Series. Hearing him spend the past decade verbally fellate Brock Lesnar and later Roman Reigns has completed burned me out on this dude, his voice, and his whole schtick.

I thought this was wrestlers who hurt weekly TV for me and I was going to say Gallows and Anderson, can't stand them.

The Miz
Used to be a fan of his back in the original Miz and Morrison days. All the way up to his US Title reign.
Then when he main evented Mania, I was like "Nah man, this ain't it."
Well, that was 11 years ago now. And he's mostly been doing the same thing over and over and over again. Apart from the Mizdow storyline which was fun.
Basically, one of the stalest acts in the company along with Orton, Ziggler and New Day for me.

Enzo Amore's promos hit so much better on NXT because he wasn't on every single week, and if they used him more than once on a taping block, they would let him deviate from the usual schtick.
But once he was on Raw, he was on every single week having to do the exact same several minute entrance and promo before the show could move on.

Big Show is pretty much the template for this. Once in a lifetime giant reduced to another guy by the demands of weekly TV.

Shane McMahon kind of fits. One of my favourites as a special attraction but was worse each time he returned until he decided to have loads of matches/appearances in his most recent stints and became unwatchable.
But his case is unique in that he bizarrely wrestled more often long after his physical prime. If he did that while he was younger it wouldn't have been so bad.

When I think about Paul, it's always The Dangerous Alliance in WCW that comes to my mind first, and how he's just another great talent who has been WWE-ified until he's become a shadow of what he was. |

Now its so much worst that people are using that move as just "Hey, I'm old but I can still do this." As not even a finisher. Looking at you Dustin Rhodes, Ricky Morton and others. |

Enzo Amore after the split with him and Big Cass, he was super annoying and I was cheering when Brock Lesnar destroyed him at Royal Rumble 2017.
