We all watch a fairly wide range of wrestling, so across all your favourite/usual promotions:

Who is that one wrestler above all others that you just can’t get into?

Do you hate their wrestling style? Is their character boring? Do they just not do anything for you? Hate the performer (keep it civil)? Was there some angle that soured you on them? Let us know! (and obviously do feel free to mention multiple people if needed lol).

    WWE: I think I watched the main roster from around 2015/2016 to 2019. There were a lot of people who seemed settled into their characters, but I had no experience watching them, so they seemed kinda boring to me. Randy Orton was a major “I just don’t get it” wrestler for me. I only knew his name, had never seen him, and he’s showing up, lazily doing a pose on the turnbuckle and looking bored as hell while the crowd cheers? The Bar were the same for me. Never saw how they came together as a team, so they were just there for me. And the love I’d heard for The Revival was also confusing cause I watched during their feud with the Usos.

    AEW: CM Punk. I’d seen the pipe bomb promo, but that was it before he showed up. The excitement he seemed to have, and the excitement of the crowd, was awesome! But he wasn’t quite what I had expected and his promo style wasn’t for me.

    The Young Bucks. They’re actually exactly what I expected from hearing about them. I’ve enjoyed some of their segments (much better as ridiculous heels) and their matches with the Lucha Bros, but boy, a little goes a long way.

    TNA: Steve Maclin. I enjoyed his chase for the belt, but I just don’t feel anything for him.

    Eddie Edwards. I don’t hate him, but he’s just there. My enjoyment of the ROH stable in Impact tanked when he was named the leader.

      I never could get into Brock. He was just Goldberg 2.0 to me, and the Goldberg act got old on me real fast.

      Granted at the time I was burned out on the WWE and would soon quit watching not long after Brock got pushed.

      Ditto and ditto.
