Paid Members air_raid Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 OK, this will probably die on it's arse, but what the hell. Â I got the idea for this question when I saw that my best mate was following Big Show on Twitter, and just thought "Ugh, why??" because for me, he's not contributed anything interesting for years, hasn't had a decent match for years (longer if I discount the Sheamus anomaly) and in general, I just can't imagine ever being interested in anything he does, ever again. I had a look at the lummox's page (Christ knows why) and saw that his two most recent tweets were thanking people for birthday messages, and telling people where he's going to be for a meet and greet, and I remembered what a nice bloke he always comes across as. This made me slightly sad, and in a way wish I gave more of a shit about his WWE career, because he's obviously an alright sort. Â So, people, are there any wrestlers that you really wish that you liked, but just can't, for whatever reason? Conversely, is there anyone that you really really enjoy (past or present) but really wish that you didn't? Â I really hate the fact that I love, and have always loved, CM Punk. He's really an utter bellend when you get down to it, and far worse than being tarred with the IRC/internet smark brush, is the knowledge that he's a complete dickhead. And yet, I loved his work and always found myself wanting him to win. Â Anyone else? If you've secretly been spending the last twenty years thinking "I just don't get it" as to why the rest of us love Sid, WISHING that you shared our love of the Master and Ruler of the World but not managing to, this is a good time to out yourself.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dolph Ziggler. Every one seems to like him, but I just see a guy with bleached blonde hair and an overly square jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 11, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd probably go with Ric Flair. I've tried to get into his work, I really have, I know he's supposed to be one of the best of all time... but I'm just not that fussed. Royal Rumble 92 was great, but otherwise… the thread title sums it up. I want to like him, but just can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've never got the appreciation of The Miz as anything more than a solid midcard talent. I hated his main event run, bar that time Lawler was dragging him to the best matches he'll ever have. Part of the reason it was good was because you could believe The Miz had a chance fighting an old bloke. One of the more ludicrous things I've seen watching wrestling was when Miz did his Stone Cold Steve Austin face when Lesnar stormed the ring. Of course, Lesnar acted great by making Miz look like a wee boy and even threw a chair at him to emphasise the point. In that moment I got what Kevin Nash was on about when he said Miz winning the belt "exposed the business". Â Some folk on here were going on about what a top babyface he'd be too. Never understood that one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members stumobir Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 Chris Jericho for me, I'm more than aware that his last couple of runs have been dross and that he's a self-obsessed twat of the highest order. He'd probably sell out his granny if it meant his shite band's album went double-platinum. But despite all of that he was still my favourite as a kid and he was always the guy I'd go when we were jumping about someone's garden playing wrestling so I just can't bring myself to say "sorry, mate but you're a cunt" Â On the other side of the coins there's Sheamus. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed a lot of his matches and appreciate his style but I just think he looks ridiculous, his promos are normally shite and the way he calls people "fella" fills me with an anger that I know is unnecessary. One of my most ffw'd guys unless he's in a match with someone else I want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 86 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd probably go with Ric Flair.

Royal Rumble 92 was great, but otherwise… the thread title sums it up. I want to like him, but just can't!  Completely agree, spent a lot of time trying to 'get' Flair but I can't make myself care.  Also Daniel Bryan. I want to like him like everyone else does but i just find him, well, boring and uninteresting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout Stain Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'd love to like Sheamus but I just see him and wonder where Dr Bunsen Honeydew is. Cannot remember ever enjoying one of his matches and his promos often make me want to be violently sick  Which is a real shame as when I bumped into him in Brighton when they were in town in November he was an absolute gent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sheamus for me, I dont know if it is the pale look or what but I just cannot appreciate him as a wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 Daniel Bryan. I used to love him, but now I just can't stand him. Nothing to do with him personally, I really want to like him but its the shitty fans in the last year or so that have turned me against him. As soon as he got added to a no.1 contenders match for WM my first reaction was 'for fucks sake' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Jeff Hardy, Christian, Sheamus, Zack Ryder, Dean Ambrose, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston. Â Aside from some of their tag team runs I haven't enjoyed much/anything the above have done, even when everybody else seemed to dig what they were doing.

sammorgz Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Daniel Bryan. Just not into him at all. Â Also got to mention Jericho. In the ring he used to be great but I've always found him to be fucking embarrassing on the microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 Jericho was quite clever and funny on the mic in WCW, it didn't really translate over to the WWF/E though. Maybe he had to work harder to make the most of very limited time over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
