I was actually surprised to hear Ambrose apparently hates doing goofy skits like the one where he dressed up as a Mountie. He comes across across as laid back in interviews and looked like he was enjoying himself hamming it up. Same for Cody with Stardust, for a while, at least, he seemed like he was having fun with it, but apparently it wore out on him fast.
Any other examples?

Brodus Clay as the Funkasaurus.
He was reasonably over, featured on every show and treated pretty well. But he thought he could be a megastar as a generic fat monster.

Ambrose not liking the goofy comedy stuff surprises me as well, considering how good he is at it.
Edge saying Becky didn't want to be a heel when they were working on the Cutting Edge segment, even though like a year ago she was talking about wanting to go heel. Then again, she wasn't doing anything at the time.

Owen Hart seemed like he was having fun doing the Blue Blazer :-( :-(

Everyone seems to assume that Jericho loves putting guys over and maybe it's even his own choice to do it but he said he doesn't and that if it up was up to him he would win all the time and be the top guy.

Doesn't Austin hate his WM 14 match with HBK? I can understand it, but given the limitations both had at that time it turned out pretty good.

I believe he thought it sucked because how bad Shawn was at the time health wise and how good of a match there where having at the King of the Ring in 97. I think he knew it should been a lot better. I think Alexa said she didn't want to play heel at first but once she did it and did it so well she was ok with it. Kevin Nash I think says he hates playing a babyface. Even though when he allowed to show his sense of humor side he very entertaining. See his stuff in TNA with Alex Shelley. |

Brodus seems like a pretty likable guy for the most part, but he has delusions of grandeur in terms of his perception of his own ceiling. As we've seen after he left the WWE, the Funaksaurus gimmick did a great job of hiding the fact he's total ass cheeks in the ring |

Then again, she wasn't doing anything at the time. Yeah, I don't think it's that Becky didn't want to be a heel, so much as she knew the crowd weren't prepared to accept her as a heel. She's said (on Lilian Garcia's podcast, I think) that, when she was told to go out and attack the fans in that first heel promo, she knew they weren't going to buy it. She knew they'd cheer her, because they sympathised with her and believed she deserved more than she'd been given. I thought that Rusev loved being a babyface, at the tail end of the Rusev Day thing, but he's claimed he prefers being a heel. I'm not sure if that's just him making the best of the WWE's terrible decisions, though. |

I'm not going to lie, if a guy's name was Generic Fat Monster, he'd probably be super over in NXT. |

Steamboat comes from the "Doesn't overly choreograph his matches" school of thought whereas Macho Man was rather infamous for going over his matches in excruciating detail. |
