| Lets get this party started, shall we? Here I'm not looking for 'I hate Hulk Hogan' or 'I hate John Cena'. I'm looking for a specific character or gimmick of a real-life wrestler that was popular for the most part but you just couldn't stand it every time he/she/it came out. Give us an example and the reason why you didn't like it, if you know. For me, one of my worst is Papa Shango. At the time he emerged, I had started that climb to understanding how wrestling worked, that it was a show, but they were still trying to make it look like it wasn't. To me, Shango was the deal breaker, because...well, come ON! He was supposedly casting real spells on other personalities, and those other personalities were selling that they were enchanted! Especially when the Ultimate Warrior vomited. Honestly, I hated the whole storyline enough to turn the channel for a few minutes to let it end and then watching the rest of the program. I liked Shango's outfit mind you, but the voodoo storyline just killed me. So who is next?

| For me it was Naked Mideon. There was no reason to do that to Dennis Knight. The character was comletely unnecessary and cringe worthy, i just couldnt watch it, i had to turn over. The biggest kick in the teeth was that Mideon was actually quite creepy when he was in the ministry. So they purposely broke his character down, embarressed him and then fired him. As always Knight gave it his all, but i just couldn't watch it, if wrestling could take any gimmic back, i wish it was that

| Old school time here. There was a wrestler named David Dr D Shultz that was as much a badass in real life as he was in the ring. He loved to actually hit the wrestlers and anyone else that was in his face. That is what got him kicked out of wretling fro the most part. But he was always so vicious that i couldnt stand him. Gimmicks? Well we can go there too, Gobbeldy Gooker and Bastion Booger come to mind.

| I really hated a lot of the characters at the end of WCW. But mostly I couldn't stand Vince Russo as someone who was looking out for the best for the business. Everyone knew he had killed WCW with his ideas and then he wrote himself into the story as a guy who was going to try to fix WCW. That arrogant bastard deserved to die, not the company.

| Hating a beloved wrestler? There have been many that comes to mind... One being Ultimate Warrior. Say what you will about the Mega Powers when he teamed with Hogan, but going so far as too legally CHANGING his name to Warrior... That tells me Warrior got way too much into his character, and the fact that he just plain sucked for quite awhile up until he teamed with Hogan. Now, That being said, I can agree with another one: Bastian Booger, Robocop, Glacier, Gobbeldy Gooker, etc.

| DDP in WCW, I don't know why, I just could never stand the guy, I thought he sucked as a face and got a push over guys that deserved it more, it wasn't until be was The Stalker in the angle with The Undertaker that I thought they got it right with him, but DDP as a World Champion blew

| Eugene......I fucking HATE Eugene! As being the older brother of a mentally disabled boy, I found Eugene highly offensive but not for the reason you all think. I have no hate for Nick Dinsmore (Eugene to the lesser educated), I have hate for the people who developed the character. They passed the mentally disabled off as people who only want to wave and give hugs, and yes my brother does enjoy giving a good hug or twelve but he's not some airhead looking to play. What really got me was toward the end of his career when they turned him heel. He would get enraged and gain what is viley referred to as "Retard Strength" on the internet, beating down people just because he was angry. I fucking hate Eugene and the best day of his career in WWE was at One Night Stand when Sandman Kendo sticked the shit out of him.

| Ok...here is where I do a REAL LIFE HEEL TURN cuz you're all gonna hate me for this LOL....BUT.... CHRISTIAN... Yea I said it. Look don 't get it twisted...I respect and enjoy his IN RING performances. BUT for me, you can have all the in ring ability in the world but this isn't a sport. It's sports/entertainment. So I analyze the whole package (that's what she said!) and his mic work for me is PFFFFT! Horrible. And these feelings spawn from his SOLO heel turn in WWE (aka the birth of "The Peeps") I was a fan of E & C though but Anytime he picks up a mic, I cringe...the cheesy jokes are worse than Cena's. So there you have it...I JUST became Public Enemy #! WOOO! lol but it is what it is. Just being honest cuz I've been watching wrestling so long now, in order for me to be a fan, you have to have in ring AND mic skills. ex. Jericho, Austin, Pope and although I'm not a big fan of the rock, I do enjoy listening to his mic work..Punk too.

| Randy Orton: he is just lame. I know it is "booking" but I hate the Viper/Apex Predator deal. He is too evil to be face, at least Austin turned face due to being against Bret Hart who turned into an Anti-American crybaby. What did Orton do turn face, drop DiBiase and Rhodes from Legacy? That does not make a guy face, that makes the people he drops face.
Ric Flair (Post 1998): I am not gonna question Flair from before his reign as WCW champion in 1996 because he was still the man but seriously, the guy has turned into a worm the last few years besides a few matches here and there. When he fought Triple H or anytime he faced Shawn Michaels was amazing but everyother match he has been in he has been too broken down. Does he deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, yes but the last 12/13 years of his career has ruined the legacy of his name to me.
Super-Cena: I like John Cena but when he is turned into Super-Cena and no sells 20 minutes of a beatdown like when he beat Miz, I'm sorry but the gloves are coming off. The guy was great on the mic and pretty good in the ring but now he is doing poopy-jokes and turning into the new Hulk Hogan. Cena is NOT Hogan, he should be treated as Stone Cold. Stone Cold never "hulked up" in a traditional sense and I don't see why Cena couldn't.
Batista: In early 2005 he was good, then he turned into a dialing in performer. Triple H brought out the best in him but no one else could do that except for John Cena during their feud going into WrestleMania XXVI. The problem with Batista was they turned him into Ulitmate Warrior which no man should ever be. The guy is better than Khali but I got tired of his stuff enough that I booed and flipped him off at Cyber Sunday 2008 and cheered Jericho.
John Bradshaw Layfield: Here is someone pushed too fast too soon and for too long. The guy had a good gimmick but he did not deserve a title run from June 2004 until April 2005. Kurt Angle should have been that guy, John Cena could have been that guy at that point, not JBL who was a glorified tag team wrestler with a guy who was WCW champion after slamming Vader. And this is not because I am a "smart fan," his stuff was just annoying as a main eventer because he got pushed to the moon for no reason.
Mr. Kennedy/Anderson: The guy was good in 2006/07 but he got too injured. He would get some steam and then get injured and his matches were always the same. His microphone deal was awesome in the beginning but now doing the asshole/dick thing does not work for me at all.
Booker T: Here is someone that I like in small doses or being a commentator more than a wrestler. The guy just hits JBL heat with me after a while. He was a star in wCw, mainly because they lost everyone else.

You need to watch his Mania match with Taker

| To be fair, I never have seen that match. I have heard it is good but for the most part from after the Triple H feud until Batista fought Cena as a heel, Batista sucked donkey balls for a long time.
