We all have wrestlers or wrestling personalities (managers, divas, ect) that we find boring. (These individuals are different from those that we just dislike; i.e. many people dislike Triple H, but they can still be entertained by him on occasion.) These are the people that make you want to change the channel or leave the room.
So, which wrestlers or personalities does everyone find boring? Here's my list:
Matt Striker - Striker is a triple threat of suckdom: bad gimmick, bad mic skills, and a bad wrestler.
Jonathan Coachman - Does anyone buy him as a heel authority figure? He comes off as a stand-in (which he is), and he doesn't really do anything heelish in the first place. He's just there.
Chris Masters - Whether he's on the juice or not, he's still bland.
VKM - It's hard to believe that their feud with Christy is even worse than their "feud" with WWE and DX. Do we really need more unfunny segments from wrestling promotions?
The Great Khali - No explanation needed.
Viscera - Take the crap gimmick back to Memphis.
Ashley - I can't really seem to care about her.
Batista - Since he's come back, he's lost all his desire. He phones in all his matches.
Mark Henry - Besides his strength, he has no redeeming qualities.
Scotty 2 Hotty - I have nothing personal against Scotty, but his gimmick is old (not his fault) and he's a jobber (also not his fault). But because of these factors I don't want to watch him.
Sylvan - It's hard to get excited about someone when it's made clear that everything they're involved in is unimportant.
The Miz - I don't understand his purpose on the show, nor do I think he's a good heel.
Vickie Guerrero - See The Miz.
Lashley - Despite having an impressive build, he doesn't look intimidating or threatening (and he smiles like a retard), and the less said about his mic skills the better. I just wish he'd go away.
Brooke - Random bikini model with no character. If WWE doesn't care about her, why should I?
Hardcore Holly - They really botched Holly's return from the back gash. Now everything he's in contact with seems to become less interesting.
Kelly Kelly - She's hot and all, but so are the other divas--and they actually have good characters.
Layla - See Brooke.
Rebecca - A robotic announcer with no redeeming qualities.
Scott Armstrong - His refereeing can actually make a match worse.
Brad Armstrong - Not a good announcer and completely wrong for ECW (even the new version).
Jeff Jarrett - A Memphis style heel with X-Pac heat. Also, why does he carry around a guitar from his Double J days? That gimmick sucked.
The Naturals - They've always been bland. There's no connection with the audience.
Lance Hoyt - A poor man's Test. Really, what else needs to be said?

Wow...that original post included some of my favorite wrestlers. How can the World's Largest Love Machine be boring?
Anyway, Vampiro never kept my attention, even when he did the "promo" on WSX where he was boring...I mean pouring blood on himself. I've heard interviews with him and he sounds like a nice, humble guy, but I have a hard time paying attention whenever he talks or wrestles.

Petey Williams. And he sucks in the ring too. I find petey to be a solid and reliable performer. Not in my opinion. He basically walks around all clueless while the other wrestler is usually forced to do all the flippy floppy stuff around him because Petey doesn't know where he's supposed to be. Not to mention that the Canadian Detroyer thingy flippy piledriver is one of the dumbest finishers ever concieved. Hey Petey. Stop sucking.

^ Changing your name to something other than "Petey" might be the first step towards improving....

As for TNA, no love for The Phenomenal one or The Fallen Angel?

No thanks. ;D (I always give the indy guys s*** and always will. Except for Samoa Joe. He's okay because he has Godzilla music.)

Well, maybe Flippy's gimmick change will give him Megalon music...or Mothra music...Would he get over with you then?

Get an asian diva to come out to the Mothra music, though.....and we'll talk.

Who do I find boring? RIKISHI. No mic skillz, no wrestling ability, no fun.
I don't get people listing Shelton Benjamin - he may not be very interesting as a character, but as a WRESTLER, he's WWE's least boring 'new' superstar (He's the only person retaining my interest in WWE, apart from HBK .... whose crappy DX segments have made me feel like giving up on WWE again....).

Matt Striker - Striker is a triple threat of suckdom: bad gimmick, bad mic skills, and a bad wrestler... The Miz - I don't understand his purpose on the show, nor do I think he's a good heel. Striker and the Miz both represent an experiment with a different kind of heel - not one you love to hate, but one you just get mad at for being on your TV screen at all. I think this formula actually has potential, but it's not being worked right at the moment.

My list:
Coach: I mean why does he even have a job in the WWE? He sucks as an anouncer. He role now he pointless because he just there to kiss Vince's ass. All he does. He even a good heel.
Mark Henry: Ten years in the WWE with pushes. The man still horrible in the ring with no improvement over the years. Nobody as yet to have a good match with him. Why is he still around I don't know.
VKM: They just need to go. They haven't been entertaining since D-X. The gimmick is just dumb.
The Miz: He just anoying. That's all. Not a good heel. He just the guy you want to shut up and that's it.
John House: He gets on my nerves so fast when I try and watch a CZW event. He's kind of one of the reasons I never finish a lot of times. I seem to get through when I watch is sections and not all the way though.
All anouncers on WSX: The ring anouncer is anoying. The play by play sucks. They all suck.
Don West: I would just say TNA anounce team but he seems to be the reason why Tenay who onces was good sucks now. Someones shut him up.
Batista: Sucks in the ring and sucks on the mic. Do I need to explain more?
WWE Divas outside the ones who can really wrestle: Ok the rest of the divas tell me what they do on screen that is useful. They can't wrestle. They can't entertain that much. They just waste time. Sure they look good but they add nothing to the shows.
That all I can think of now. I'm sure I have more.

They're boring, Memphis style heels and they don't even do that right. (If you want to see a good Memphis style heel, look at Larry Sweeney.)
