Who is the most divisive wrestler right now?

[mrbananagrabber]

Not looking to CAUSE any arguments here, but which wrestler has the most polarizing effect on this group?

I'd say Corey Graves is definitely up there, with a lot of people (myself including) being big fans of his commentary and a lot of people not taking to him at all.
Enzo, pre-heel turn, had a LOT of negativity thrown his way alongside people who still couldn't get enough.

So who do we think? Who's the most loved and loathed talent on the roster?

[Allie Kitsune]

Keeping it strictly WWE, and strictly to these boards?

Daniel Bryan.

While in general he's near-universally beloved, there's LOTS of arguments (and therefore, division) over whether he should wrestle again or not.

[EoE: Workin On My Night Cheese]

Alexa Bliss would be right up there.

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

I was going to say Jinder Mahal, but you said "loved AND loathed", and he's gotten mostly negative heat lately. So maybe Bliss, or Brock or Roman among the men.

I don't think Roman divides this place up very much at all.

You've got one Roman superfan, and nobody really else argues in his favor (at best, there may be an "he'd have been ok if they would have let him be himself from the beginning, but it's too late now" here and there).

[Tenshigure]

Had this question been asked two months ago, absolutely it would've been Jinder Mahal. It had gotten so tense around here we split appreciation/depreciation threads for things involving him. Nowadays, I'd say it's a toss-up between Alexa or Lesnar.

EDIT: As for "most loved," very few can find faults with AJ Styles and his position in the company at the moment. Strowman is wearing thin on a few (not me), but Styles' spot is acceptable for the vast majority, and that's not just because he overthrew Mahal.

[Slanted and Enchanted]

I say Triple H is up there. Many see him as a beacon of light for the future of the WWE and somebody who appreciates new and international talents with his NXT booking and annual tournaments. Others still can't get past his treatement of fellow colleagues during his prime or his desire to have a match at WM every year taking up the spot of someone more deserving.

[Push R Truth]

Bray appears to have three main reactions; "I like this guy", "Oh man shut this goober up" and *snoring thru his segments*

I'm in the category of "a big HHH fan who's been entertained by him for years, but also recognizes his ego and massive insecurity."

Jinder definitely has a contingency of fans (myself included). I think he’s a better fit at the midcard to upper midcard level, to be certain, but I’ve really enjoyed his recent work and I’m looking forward to his hopefully impending US Title run.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

It's still Roman Reigns. And it will be for the foreseeable future unless the old man finally gets hauled off to the nursing home.

I still say most of Jinder's supporters were just doing it to be contrarian.

He certainly leaves me broken out in love

Gotta be Shelton Benjamin, right?

I don't see it. Very few people like Roman. Hardly anyone defends him. There's not a lot of division there.

[cjb01: Limited Edition Item!]

Aleister Black at least on this Board was either loved or hated for being too broody or one note until that Velveteen Dream match woke some people up and now it's pretty quiet and lots of people love him.

I'd say the next one is gonna be Baszlor. I think she's pretty darn good, but because she did MMA peope just want to shit on her by default it seems.

[The Rick Jericho]

When Seth was hurting guys, 2015, was he divisive?

I wasn't here so I'm wondering did people defend him and they were mistakes. Or. Was he reckless in the ring with Cena and Sting.

[froggyfrog]

There’s are people who love Jinder and people who are objectively wrong

I'll defend him. I like his work in the ring for the most part, and I don't mind him being a main eventer at all.

There's just a big chunk of wrestlers on the WWE roster who I mark out for much harder.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Matt Hardy seems to be trending this way, as there's already people that never got on board the Broken train when he was in TNA/ROH/indies, and now the gimmick is being McMahonized and seems to be testing the middle ground here, while more of us really want to see the thing work regardless of how much laughing he does.
