Who are some wrestling characters that you can’t stand, not because of any angle/booking or anything but they instantly make you want to change the channel/tune out or ruin the watch.
For me it’s Brother Love. Anytime he shows up on late 80s rewatches it’s an immediate skip. Was anyone ever a fan of that dude!?

Kevin Sullivan. Most of my experience with him is from his mid-90s WCW run which, admittedly, is probably past his prime. Still, I just don't get how this little fat guy in speedos who spoke like a subpar contractor was supposed to be "the embodiment of evil". He didn't even belong in a manager role. Get him off my screen.

Never been a fan of the 7ft unstoppable monster character personally.

Fonzie in ECW annoyed the crap out of me.

No matter who it is under the mask, I could never stand the Suicide character.

I was a weird kid and loved movie trailers so I'd always watch the commercials to see any that would come on. But the second I heard the opening to the theme of the brother love show I'd go to the bathroom or get a snack. That was the first character that made me wanna change the channel |

My No. 1 written-in-indelible-ink answer here is always Bill Alfonso in ECW. Just godawful to me in every way. Brought zero value to anything.
But honestly, also? Chyna. There was some mystique in the beginning, but once she started working actual matches in 1999, she was so basic, slow and sloppy that I could never buy her being able to defeat even lower-card guys. Plus she had the nails-on-a-blackboard voice, the horrendous acting skills and this palpable arrogance about her that didn't match her actual talent. Around the time of the Eddie breakup is when she became a full-on channel-changer for me.
Honorable mentions:
- Post-Borne Doink and Dink
- "Double J" Jesse Jammes
- Sunny
- Hogan after about 1998

Couldn’t stand the new age outlaws, charlotte, shawn michaels, Jillian Hall when she had that thing on her face, Renegade, face Doink, Red Rooster, Big Josh, wcw Brutus Beefcakes gimmicks, giant gonzales, pretty deadly, boogeyman. Instantly change (d) the channel whenever they are on tv. |

Always disliked DX, never understood HBK's main event appeal even as a kid. When I became wise to the dirtsheets and read up on how much of a c*** Michaels was in the mid 90's and especially around the Montreal incident, it made me hate the faction even more.
Every incarnation of the group since then was shite. I wasn't watching when HBK and Trips 'reformed' in the late 00's, but I imagine it was horseshit, absolutely no desire to check it out.

The evil group trying to take over. Every attempt after NWO has been terrible and even that got stale and dull

Will Osprey. A short, skinny goober whose entire moveset is over-choreographed garbage.To think NJPW used to have foreign talent like Big Van Vader as IWGP Champ....

I was going to say I don’t think you’ve seen an Ospreay match in the last six years…but now I’m unsure you’re even talking about the right person. |

Acolytes/APA Bradshaw is an underrated favorite of mine.
JBL on the other hand? Quite possibly my least favorite character ever. And then someone had the bright idea to have him do commentary and he was awful at that, too.
