Not that I can't stand them, exactly, so much as confusion, but I do not get big wrestlers with no gimmicks or gimmick names. Bronson Reed is a big one for me. Why would you act like you're just some normal guy and not get a nickname at least? It feels like such a waste.

Magical Monsters like The Fiend. I hate the idea that everyone has to shit their pants in fear of them, because it limits what they're able to do in response. And also that there's never a good explanation for why they signed a television wrestling contract, why they need the money, etc... And peeling away a kayfabe layer, there's the whole problem of, why does nobody else think : "Why does this guy get to be a supernatural force in all these elaborate costumes, but I have to be someone in black trunks?" My issue with them is that they rarely make sense through a pro wrestling lens. Like why are you even a wrestler if you’re this magical weirdo? Like why are you even here? Shouldn’t you wanna win titles and be the best in the ring? What’s the point of this?

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. I love how the embodiment of evil has a bland name like Kevin Sullivan lol

You don't need to turn to Satan for validation if you look like Drew McIntyre.

Jericho. Not just recently either.
JBL, heel Cole, and "The Authority" all actively made me quit watching, though.

Danhausen doesn't do anything for me. Not really sure why, I usually like dumb comedy wrestling, but he bores me.

Jimmy Jack Funk f*** Jimmy JACK FUNK Watching back all of the PTW episodes from 1986 last year I saw a whole lot of Jimmy Jack Funk. I wondered what the point oh him was? They had the audacity to try and pass off this goof as an actual Funk brother. My mind was blown when I found out he's actually Art Barr's brother.

Isaac Yankem. Everytime I walked in when my best friends dad was watching WWF, there was a 150% chance Isaac Yankem was on. It’s flat out his fault I never could stand wrestling until bunch of guys ran around work in nWo gear.

kane I’ve just never liked him. mysterio for most of his career except that first year on SD. big show/paul wight bores the shit out of me. saraya makes me wanna turn the channel. f***ing WARDLOW might be my most disliked guy now because of how boring he is.
natalya has to take the cake though, something about her actually irritates me. i’ve had to explain why I’ve said “f*** offfffff” multiple times to friends/partner while I’m watching tv and every time it was because I’m watching poor tegan nox get sucked further into a black hole of apathy that is natalya. I was at one of the SDs when she showed up after winning a title, everyone was standing up to give respect, I was getting a hot dog and wanted to find somewhere to sit down just on principle

I love Toni Storm but I absolutely hate her "Timeless" character. From the boring promos to the goofy faces I simply can't get into her current character. See I am the opposite of this I think she has been a good wrestler with no interesting character until the Timeless gimmick

Danhausen. I just don't get him at all, like, why is a guy who carries a bag of teeth around supposed to be funny instead of "so weird I'll change the channel to avoid seeing this anymore" weird?
Roman Reigns. He sucks as much as he ever did and I'm convinced that 99% of E fans have some weird variant of stockholm syndrome where anything produced by WWE gets multiple passes that would get anyone or anything else laughed out of the building.
During my childhood/mark days, I absolutely detested Sycho Sid. I don't even remember why, I just remember throwing a toy at the wall when he beat Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw of all people.

Shane McMahon. Didn't mind him too much around 1999-2000 but 2003 during the Kane feud then his comeback in 2016 I couldn't stand him. This untrained obnoxious guy who's only on TV because of his rich dad being presented as an actual tough guy who can have competitive matches with the top guys was stretching kayfabe too much for me. That hell in a cell match with Undertaker is my least favorite match of all time. Even in the physical state 2016 Taker was in it was still ridiculous that the match was 30 minutes and Shane was kicking out of tombstones and chokeslams and in the end only lost because of his own bravery in attempting that dive off the cell.
Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose. He comes off like he's trying really hard to be the type of badass I'd have thought was cool as hell as a teenager. Bleeding, cursing and doing the middle finger all the time. The edgelord slogans on his shirts. The tough guy leather jackets. He's presented as this great brawler/street fighter but somehow has some of the worst looking punches in wrestling.
Charlotte Flair. She doesn't really change whether she's heel or face. In some cases I think that works (Brock) but I don't think it does with her. And mostly for the being around the title all the title. Every other top star in history took decent spells away from the top title but unless she's injured or taking time off I don't think she ever has. In the 8 years since she debuted I wonder what the longest spell is when she was on TV but not involved in the title picture either as champion or challenger. It can't be more than a month or two.
