It's a successful gimmick that in your opinion is annoying. That's fine. You don't have to like them just because they are extremely over as babyfaces.
I believe RD hates the Undertaker gimmick, but he doesn't try to claim that fans dislike it. He acknowledges that it works, but he doesn't understand why.
For the record I consider the gimmick 'Goldust' to be the worst gimmick of all time, in my opinion. That doesn't change the fact that a majority of fans found it entertaining. That character was an unqualified success, even though I will never understand why.
I'm not trying to claim the fans dislike Love and Sky, as i stated i got a little out of context. I call it like i see it, Love & Sky are usually booed when they put a beatdown on ODB or Jackie suggesting the fans like the two more but usually they get a good reaction ESPECIALLY for the entrance.

And I call it like I see it, they are the most popular new characters in the company. They don't get booed at all. Especially when they are helping Gail Kim avoid a Kong beatdown. I think the problem is: all TNA broadcasts are in the same arena in front of the same crowd every week. There is a group of about seven to ten people in the impact zone who chant 'ODB' and hold up a "I'm down with ODB" sign. It sounds like more on tv. Every day on this board there are people wondering why she's a heel 'since she's so popular.' Velvet and Angelina are hugely over in the impact zone, AND the Internet Wrestling Community, but maybe they would get booed in front of different crowds. I can concede that much.
