People You Want To Like...But Can't

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

On paper Alberto Del Rio is a wrestler I should love. While I guess I still technicially like him I find it next to impossible to get excited about anything he does. I guess there have been plenty of reasons why though. The car entrance he used to use just got tiring after a while, his first WWE title win helped kill the momentum of the hottest WWE angle in years, he had a never ending feud with Sheamus and he recently beat Christian in yet another tease of Christian getting a proper world title run (though I've given up hope of that happening a long time ago). If you think about it, it isn't really Del Rio's fault. Any wrestler could be plugged in to have the same thing happen to them and I think it would have the same affect on me. It makes me think if I could really enjoy Del Rio if he was better booked or if I'd still be apathetic.

I used to be a huge Miz fan but I'm just not anymore. I really want to like the guy because it seems like his whole heart is in his work and it's basically a man realizing his dream in front of our eyes but he's gotten so one-dimensional and grating in recent years that I just can't cheer for him anymore.

[hossfan]

Wade Barrett. Like the name says, I'm a fan of hoss types, but the guy bores me.

[celticjobber]

Christian. I was a fan of his from the E&C days until 2005 or 2006, but ever since he was in TNA and returned I haven't been able to get interested in anything that he does.

I know he's a good wrestler, but everything about him bores me.

[Grennel]

Curtis Angle. Along with Savage, Mr Perfect was the reason I got into this sport(tee hee). When I got word his son was joining I was pumped... Then sorta meh. When I heard he was joining RAW repackaged with an awesome push I was pumped. But no matter how hard I try, I just can't enjoy watching him wrestle. I hope things. Change over time, because I hate it when WWE give up on someone who doesn't improve right away, because I still am holding out a little hope for the guy.

[Mc Mc Mannequin]

Dolph Ziggler - Probably one of the most liked wrestlers on this forum and got a massive pop when he cashed in the briefcase. But I just don't find him entertaining in any way, well... except when he does the Fameasser (which has always been one of my favorite moves).

Wade Barrett - He's English so I really want to root for him but I havn't found him interesting at all since The Nexus disbanded.

Jack Swagger.

He seems to have all the tools, he just can't put it together. I haven't been able to get behind him since his title run in 2010, the failure of which I attribute 90% to WWE and the way they handled him after he lost it.

[The Man They Call Asher]

Corey Graves. Dude's decent enough in the ring and he can talk, but his whole gimmick is just so bad and contrived. It's like "We get it, Corey, you've got 'STAY DOWN' tattooed on your knuckles. You can stop talking about it now." and I just can't get behind the guy.

[Deleted]

The Shield... It's gotten really old really fast.

How many more times can these guys dominate every single night, despite the fact that their gimmick makes them NOTHING more than one dimensional thugs for hire. The fact that no one is genre savy enough to ban them from ringside during singles matches, NOR simply get bigger numbers than them makes them more infuriating than interesting.

They have long overstayed their welcome. Either start losing, or get the hell off my TV.

[Bear Skin Rug]

Ziggler is a good one.

I wince when the fans boo Sheamus because he seems like a decent, hard-working guy, but I can't care about him no matter how hard I try to appreciate him.

[Deleted]

For me it's Bryan. I really wish I was as emotionally invested in his push as others, but I just am not.

[Cvslfc123]

Antonio Cesaro, great talent and is fun to play as on WWE 13, but I just don't like him. Maybe it's the ring attire, I don't know.

[Deleted]

Sheamus is a good one. Excellent wrestler for a guy his size, but I don't think he's had a single good character in his entire WWE tenure.

[StuntGranny®]

- Dolph Ziggler - I know the guy's good, but I just can't make myself care about him one way or another.

- The Shield - At this point, they bore me to death.

- The Wyatt Family - Everyone and their brother thinks they're the greatest thing ever. I think the whole thing is goofy and can't make myself care about/like Bray Wyatt.

It's not just you. In this reality era, they stick out like a sore thumb. And I've never thought Bray was great in the ring.

I still like Mike Mizanin enough to like Miz, but I don't think I'm supposed to when his gimmick is being an announcer with no career aspirations whatsoever. He barely wrestles anymore.

[Deleted]

Alberto Del Rio for the same reasons as the OP.

John Cena because while he's not that bad in the ring, his character bores the hell out of me.

Jack Swagger is a good wrestler but thank in part to the WWE, I'm not interested in him.

[Deleted]

I loved Husky Harris, but I just cannot derive any entertainment from the Wyatt Family. I liked the vignettes, I like their theme... Don't at all enjoy watching them so far. Hell, I don't even like their entrance. I don't really know why not, but I don't.

[Dang!]

I wish I could like CM Punk, as he's a great wrestler and has had great matches, but as a person is just not likeable at all. I even prefer Triple H, Hogan, Nash and the likes since they only were politicking assholes trying to keep their money and their spots at the top safe. They all seem to be guys you wouldn't want to work with, but could actually have a good time just hanging out with them. Punk is the exacty opposite of a guy I'd like to hang out with and I can't unsee his unlikeable personality even though I like his wrestling.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Dolph Ziggler - I just find him so boring, despite all his talent and having a fun moveset.

Cody Rhodes - I want to like him because I loved Dashing and Undashing. Once he dropped the mask, he became CAWdy Rhodes heel version. Now he's back to CAWdy Rhodes face version with added douchbaggery. Shame because I think he's an excellent wrestler but, he's a wrestler who needs an "out there" gimmick to work with.

[The Trashman]

Dolph Ziggler-talented but average on the mic and definitely not a face

Big E Langston-just seems like the latest in a line of guys who are WAY too big and that always leads to injury
