So there's this wrestler who everyone slobbers over, thinks they're the greatest thing ever, can't get enough of 'em. But you watch their matches and you don't get the big deal, or even worse, you think everyone is a nimrod for being on this wrestler's bandwagon. Examples:
CM Punk: The most overrated wrestler since The Rock. He's really nothing special, his 3 matches with Joe in ROH were extremely boring. I don't like his attitude either, he's way up his own ass.
Kevin Steen: He's not funny. Stop telling me he is. He acts like the kid in junior high who thinks he's edgy because he swears all the time. Also, what kind of mark wheres his own shirt while wrestling? He's also guilty of my #1 pet peeve: constant turning to the crowd for approval. I can't watch his matches because I find him so aggravating.
Chris Hero: I was ok with him for a while, but over the last year or so he's gotten really cheesy.

There are very few wrestlers I dislike. I DO have a friend, though, who loves everything John Bradshaw Layfield ever did (not the cowboy or APA member, but JBL). I honestly couldn't stand him. I found his matches and whatever he said boring, so I changed the channel. Maybe I'll have to go back and watch his stuff to see if he's grown on me, but I'm not sure that'll ever happen.

Brian Kendrick. I can see what people like about him, but his shtick just doesn't work for me.

The Rock, Undertaker & the Hardy Boys would top my list.
Does the Rock say funny things? Yes, I've caught myself laughing at some of his stuff. Does he entertain me in the ring? No. Undertaker seems to get by as the old veteran by staying away from the ring or off of TV. His Streak is getting embarrassing when the guy just can't go no more. The Hardys, ick. I'm not a 13 year old girl into bad poetry and rave gimmicks. (Did I mark when Jeff won the WWE title from Triple H? Yes.)

Cody Rhodes.
There is just nothing about how he works his matches that catches my attention. He's fantastic on the mic, but in the ring, he just puts me to sleep.

Bryan Danialson. I just don't get it. He can work but he is no Jericho, no Hart, no flair and lacks the personality befitting a WWE main event. I'm glad he is champion because he paid hard dues and deserved recognition but long-term I can't see his name on a list with Austin, Rock, Logan or Flair. Had he come along in the 80's he could've been NWA champ. But 90's or today, he's just another guy to me.

Chris Hero.
I get that he's talented, but I've never liked him. He's the most unbelievable babyface I think I've ever seen, and as a heel, I'd just rather see him at all.
I've never liked him. Regardless of how much weight he had or didn't have. Whether he wore "indy wrestler pants" or "real wrestler trunks". Whether he was "serious" or not. And don't even get me started on his run as Captain Elbow Smash. I can't believe he became a main eventer on that.
Chris Hero, Chris Hero, Chris Hero.

Jericho- It's not that I don't like him or acknowledge his talent, the fact is he just never did it for me.
Benoit-never been a big fan. Ya he's intense and he can wrestle but i don't know somethings missing.
Samoa Joe- Really? a fat guy with no personality. This is the guy that people are slobbering over. This guy would be nothing more than a jobber back in the 80s.

The Rock is probably the biggest personality to come out of wrestling since Hogan, if not bigger. I give him that. But as a wrestler, he's never done anything for me. Hell, he isn't even that funny to me. Not that I really dislike him, so much as I'm really meh on him. Also, I've really started to lose favor with RVD as of late. He's getting sloppier, but at the same time, he's getting cockier! He needs a reality check, for real.

Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes are all bland vanilla midgets who are so successfull because the WWE is creatively a fraction of what it once was.

Beth Phoenix I find her boring on the mic and in the ring. The Miz i don't hate the guy but I find him to be completely average in all departments, ring, mic skills, etc

Jericho- It's not that I don't like him or acknowledge his talent, the fact is he just never did it for me. Agreed, especially when it comes to his second run. The new gimmick was only interesting for all of one storyline, afterward I just found him extremely boring. I'll admit he's a good talent, but he's never oozed the charisma and entertaining personality that people swear that he has. At least, not for me. I didn't care when he left, and I won't care when he comes back. I'll add Edge, too. He's good in the ring, but as far as I'm concerned, he peaked in 2006 and just got progressively more uninteresting and stale from there. I don't dislike him, but I've never gotten what all the hype was about.

John Morrison and Kofi Kingston, both for the same reason(s): I think they're both talented and understand what people like about them both, but IMO they're both too flippy and rely too much on one aspect of their offense.

Benoit-never been a big fan. Ya he's intense and he can wrestle but i don't know somethings missing. Benoit for me too. I liked him early in WCW, and ECW, but at some point, he just got really boring in the ring. Even his "intensity" never seemed all that intense because he didn't really know how to use it to advance a match's psychology, it was just kind of always there. And his promos were always terrible.

Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes are all bland vanilla midgets who are so successfull because the WWE is creatively a fraction of what it once was. In C.M. Punks defense, he's improving all the time. His mic skills are getting better and he's more confident every time i see him. One of the few guys that I actually do like in today's wrestling world.

I know some of you have seen him work in the indies, and I'm sure if they had played that up instead of bringing him to NXT then i might be a bit more leaning toward his side, but I can't do it.

I don't dislike him, but I've never gotten what all the hype was about. I agree. The whole Ultimate Opportunist thing was really uninteresting to me and having 10 World Title reigns that probably average out to six weeks long each is maybe the least impressive resume of any World Champ out there.

I haven't seen a name on this list yet that I don't like besides The Miz. And when I think hard about it, that's the best answer I can come up with. But to the OP, "What kind of mark wears his own shirt while wrestling?"
