Randy Orton. I just don't get it. The dude's "charisma" consists of never changing his tone, volume, inflection, or facial expressions, and his wrestling is....sub-par at best. When your most devastating move is a weak looking shin strike that everyone has to sell like death to get over, something is wrong.

About 99.9% of the WWE roster, sadly.

I will never get into pandering Cena. Give him an edge and I'd change my tune since he does have talent. He doesn't even have to go heel. Just stop being the children's champ.

I've never understood Batista, even when he was in Evolution. Probably because I first started properly watching wrestling in 2003 and Brock Lesnar made Batista look about as strong and athletic as a bag of potatoes.
Mickie James is another one I just can't see that appeal of. As a wrestler, she isn't stunningly good, neither is her look or charisma.

About 99.9% of the WWE roster, sadly. - bretclark This. Most of the wrestlers I enjoy watching have been around for quite some time (Chris Jericho, Edge, Shawn Michaels, William Regal, Tommy Dreamer). There are a few wrestlers newer to WWE like John Morrison and CM Punk that I enjoy watching too, but other than that it's just a big parade of blandness.

I can find something to like about virtually everyone else.

HOMOSEXUALZ DANSE FUNNY GAIZ
Anyway. My list is actually pretty short:
Batista - I get his appeal, but I just can't get into any of his work. His ring work just bores me to death. And his mic work does too. He has a great look for the business, I just don't think he's particularly good in the ring.
...actually that's really all I can think of. I can find a lot good to say about most wrestlers I've seen in my day. Nothing else is really coming to mind. I just don't care for Batista at all.

Matt Hardy. He's talented, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I'm unfortunately at the "Get off my TV" stage when he's on. Which I find very odd since Jeff Hardy is my favorite current wrestler.

Evan Bourne - I have no idea why. I feel like he doesn't belong in WWE. He seems....nerdy or something. Like a little teenage kid wrestling with these older guys.
Jeff Hardy - Simply put, it's a wrestling match, not a spotfest

Tommy Dreamer.
I'm not going to make an argument that he's untalented, because I don't believe in doing that with wrestlers considering the abuse they put themselves through. I've just never enjoyed his persona, even in the original ECW. I find something about it to be very schmaltzy. Maybe it's an extension of the real person, but I don't enjoy it.

With all of these The Brian Kendrick comments, I'm just wondering. Were we suppose to like him in his Spanky days to truly appreciate him? I mean, I liked him during his run as Tag Champs and on RAW. Does that count as not jumping the bandwaggon?
Or should I hate him because I haven't liked him long enough?

This is probably the first use of the word "schmaltzy" on the forums in 2009. Well done!

Kendrick. I cannot for the love of God understand why people keep saying he's the next Shawn Michaels. He is not the next Michaels. He's not even worthy of lacing up his boots. His act is barely a really poor remake of something vaguely resembling Michaels' original HBK act. He looks like an overgrown 12 year old wearing his big brother's jacket to school in hopes to look just tough enough so he won't get beat up for his lunch money again. I'm not sure what annoys me more -- his act, or the faux-man-love that some people on these boards give him.
Maryse. Yes, she's incredibly hot. I'm not denying that. But after spending two years or more on the company payroll and literally doing absolutely nothing, I just cannot get into her character at all. The fact that she spent so long doing nothing but pointless skits in the bathtub makes me believe that there were "other" reasons she was kept on the payroll for so long.
Melina. Personal reasons.
Miz. Always thought his "HOO-RAH" thing was stupid. Was hoping after he totally flubbed his lines (How the hell could you forget that phone number?) on Raw that he wouldn't be long for the company. While my opinion of him has improved somewhat over the past few months, I still see him as the Janetty of the tag team, and believe he's now just holding Morrison back.
Manu. Lost interest in him when he started talking like a 12 year old girl with a lisp.
And to end the list, the three I'm most disappointed in........
CM Punk: After a largely short, uneventful, and forgettable title reign*, he seems to have gotten largely lost in the mid-card shuffle with little hope of being put back in the main event any time soon. He looks to be to be locked into mid-card status, and I have a feeling his reign will be put into the same categories as Mysterio, Orton's first, and Benoit -- largely forgettable and meaningless. On a semi-unrelated note, I lost some interest in him when he switched from the Anaconda Vice to the (inferior, IMO) GTS as a finisher.
R-Truth. The guy has the look, charisma, and talent to be in the upper mid-card and maybe even Main Event. However, he seems to be this generation's Billy Gunn -- no matter what they try to do with him, he's just not going to click with the fans, and will probably be doomed to mid-card (and maybe even jobber) hell even though he's got more talent than many of the wrestlers higher up the food chain.
MVP. They've been dragging this "losing streak" storyline on for far too long now, and if me and the casual fans I talk to are any indication, many have started to lose interest in MVP entirely. I just don't think this is going to pay off nearly as much as they think it's going to and even if it does lead to a turn somewhere down the road, I think this storyline has done far more harm than good in the long run. It will be hard to take him seriously as a contender for anything after losing to virtually the entire roster cleanly and repeatedly. There was a NEWZZZ story some time last year about a wrestler (Matt hardy?) being put into a storyline about constantly losing but somehow staying over. And we all (rightfully) crapped all over it and said how stupid that idea was. Well, they've done it. But just with MVP instead. And the idea is just as dumb now as it was back then.
(*semi-off topic note: I think the only reason that Punk was given a reign in the first place was because of Jeff Hardy's suspension so close to WM24. Punk was the "lesser evil" of the ones remaining in that match, and they wanted to keep the tradition of "MITB winner cashes in and wins" tradition going. So they gave him a short and forgettable reign. If Hardy hadn't screwed up, I don't think we'd have seen CM Punk near the belt, or even the main event, at all. Just my opinion.)
