Five WWE Wrestlers I Can’t Care For.

Over the years I have seen many amazing wrestlers. Those who could spark emotion, those who could impress, those who made us watch in awe of their ability. Then you had the duds. You had the completely hopeless, the completely useless, and the downright overrated.

Sometimes the fans see their lack of talent, but the company decides to ram the wrestler down our throats until we choke. Then they wonder why we don’t care for that wrestler anymore, or even less than we did before. Politics, having a certain look, or just being a victim of consistently bad booking, are the usual causes of this. It’s sad when companies just don’t understand what we want, or the wrestler themselves can’t adapt to what we want.

And yes, this is my own list, I didn’t ask anyone on Facebook about this (I made Top # Lists using results from the EWN Facebook page). This is my own personal list, and if you are offended by any of the choices, then you are offended, and you can let everyone on the internet know of your disgust with me. Without any further delay, let’s begin this list.

#5 Kane

I’m sorry Kane, but you are no longer relevant. The last time I enjoyed Kane was during the times of Team Hell No. Daniel Bryan and Kane had natural chemistry, and Kane helped to put Bryan over. That was some solid work from Kane, but what has he done since then? Nothing.

The life of Kane: 

– Debut as a monster who doesn’t talk, all he does is destroy.

– Use a voicebox to talk. Use Bearer as a mouthpiece.

– Be a monster, setting wrestlers on fire, dominating Royal Rumbles, forming tag teams like Brothers of Destruction, keeping the mystery of who he is, and what he looks like.

– Unmasking, becoming somewhat relevant again after some mediocrity, but ultimately leading to the downfall of the Kane character in general.

– Put the mask on again many years later, becomes relevant again for a couple of weeks, until he turns babyface instead of the monster everyone was expecting.

– Take the mask off again, put on a suit, destroy the whole image of Kane in one easy (and boring) step. Be nothing more than a minion for The Authority.

– Remask once again, fans never really caring because we know he won’t become the monster again.

– Unmask once again, at this point … who really cares? He should just retire and call himself Glenn Jacobs.

Don’t get me wrong, I have always been a big fan of Kane since I started watching back in the Attitude Era, but over the years, WWE gradually killed the character. WWE should literally bury Kane and put an end to it now, you can’t really call Glenn Jacobs “Kane” anymore. There is nothing left of Kane.

#4 The Great Khali

There are only two reasons the WWE keeps The Great Khali around. 1) He’s big, and 2) He’s Indian.

That’s it! He was somewhat relevant for a short time when The Undertaker put him over and he won the World Heavyweight Championship, but the booking of Khali absolutely destroyed any credibility he had. He went from defeating everyone, to jobbing on a consistent basis. He can’t talk, he has no charisma, he can barely walk. He never does wrestling moves, he has no gimmicks, and the Punjabi Prison match was clearly a dud after WWE pulled Khali out of his own match. 

In the 1970’s and 1980’s, Khali could have been a top heel like Andre the Giant, but even Andre was able to move around and wrestle. Khali looks like he should be on crutches 24/7. After all these years, he still has trouble with English, and no one has bothered to teach him how to wrestle. Could you imagine a suplex from Khali? It would be amazing! Just think of the height! But no … he will walk slowly up to his opponents, nicely placing the side of his hand on the top of his opponents head … and down they go, selling it like they had been smashed full force in the face with a frying pan. 

He is there for Indian fans, who don’t really care whether he can wrestle or not, they just love him because he’s probably the biggest Indian on the planet. They can enjoy it, while wrestling fans who can see his clear lack of talent and mobility, can do nothing else but endure.

#3 The Miz

Oh god … I am getting more angry the further I get with this. The Miz is one of the fakest “wrestlers” of all time. The thing with The Miz is … coming from a reality program, he was shown little respect from other wrestlers as he had not paid his dues. He was brought into wrestling because of the way he looks, and not down to the way he wrestles. Whenever I look at The Miz, even after all these years, I just don’t see him as a wrestler, he is a reality star, and I really don’t care for reality TV.

Yes, The Miz improved a lot over the years, but he is still behind the curve. Fans still chant “You can’t wrestle” during a Miz vs Ziggler match, and we all know Ziggler can wrestle. The Miz has never had a great match in his career. He has had some surprising victories, even defeating John Cena at Wrestlemania, but it was still one of the worst main events in Wrestlemania history. The MIz as WWE Champion devalued the championship. 

The Miz never sounds genuine. You never feel like Mike Mizanin is putting some of his own personality into The Miz, you never feel like his promos come from the heart. They only come from memorizing the lines. The Miz has impressed me … hardly ever? I know there were some moments, but I can’t remember them. Ohhh! I remember! There was only one moment in time that I was impressed by The Miz, and that was when he formed with R-Truth to feud with The Rock and John Cena. R-Truth and The Miz melded together like a real tag team, and they were actually entertaining together. No idea if R-Truth was the true brains behind the operation, but i’m sure The Miz contributed some ideas. I have not cared for The Miz since they split up.

And no .. it’s not like … “you’re supposed to hate him, he’s a heel!”, it’s more like “Oh .. a match with The Miz, i’ll just turn my head away from the television and do something else until it’s finished”. He doesn’t have heel heat, he has “I don’t give a flying %£$& if he’s on my screen” heat. It’s not good. He doesn’t get much of a reaction, whether he is a face or a heel. In fact, I cared about him even less as a face, he had no idea how to get the crowd firmly behind him. It’s sad when I want to watch someone like Ziggler have a decent match, but WWE put him up against The Miz. Even Ziggler can’t save that match. Sorry Ziggy, but The Miz can’t work, which means the only thing of any value in the match is the selling by Ziggler.

The Miz was my firm #1 for many years, until just recently … oh … the horror that awaits you!

#2 Nikki Bella

Cena obviously enjoys a decent chest between shows hmm? But I also wonder if he enjoys Nikki’s mic skills and wrestling ability as much. I know I don’t.

Clearly, any man with a pulse would, even if it was just once for the sake of it, but when it comes down to wrestling, I can’t see any man/woman thinking … oh I really want to see Nikki Bella in a match! Am I the only one who has never seen a single shred of talent from the twins?

What is most painful to me, is that Nikki Bella never made much of an impact with her sister, yet they both held the Divas Championship at one point. They both devalued the championship with their mediocrity. When it comes down to comparing the twins themselves, I find Nikki Bella to be slightly better in mic skills and wrestling, but still, she is pretty bad.

With the latest storyline between the Bella Twins, I can do nothing but cringe. It’s clear the only reason why they are there is to continue making Daniel Bryan relevant. Brie Bella married Daniel Bryan in real life, they started to use Brie alongside Bryan, so the moment Bryan gets injured, they force her onto us by continuing Bryans feud with The Authority through Brie. Nikki is there as cannon fodder, and eventually does the predictable heel turn. The only thing is, she can’t talk!

But there is one thing I do like about heel Nikki Bella … the fake boobs and the fact she is in a relationship with Cena in real life adds to her new persona. I was really impressed with Nikki when she mentioned the fat and ugly men in the audience with their sick fantasies about “getting with the twins”, when in reality, they will never get that chance. The quote wasn’t exact (because I am too lazy to go and find the exact quote), but you get the picture, and when she said it, it sounded as natural as any other heel would say it. 

She destroyed her good work by ending the trash talking with “I wish you had died in the womb!”. Who says that? Even in anger? How can anyone say something like that and actually mean it? It was an odd insult which was probably part of the script she had to memorize and it totally killed the work she had put into the promo. The promo wasn’t going to get any awards, but it was half-decent until that point, at least from her side. With all of that said, I am looking forward to the day when either 1) Nikki learns how to be a proper heel, or 2) she is buried into obscurity.

#1 Brie Bella

Brie .. Brie … Brie. Where do I start? Oh I know where to start … YOU CAN’T ACT!

I apologize, but I have to get seriously angry about this. You have some amazing talent in NXT, you have excellent talent on the independent scene and wrestling in Japan, and the WWE decides … oh you know what, we will put Brie Bella in there to continue Daniel Bryan’s feud with The Authority! It will be television gold! You can just see Vince McMahon’s face light up at the idea. Triple H stood there, praising his wife Stephanie for agreeing to put Brie Bella over like there’s no tomorrow.

The only problem is, she just can’t act at all. Did I already say that? Sorry, I have to say this again. Brie Bella is one of the worst actors in the history of the entire universe. She should get an award for “worst actor in the universe”, because she cannot sound anymore amateur. Even I, someone who has never acted (but I suppose, I did some drama in school?), could probably do a better job than Brie, hell, even my Mother could act better than Brie. You, the person reading right now, could also act better than Brie Bella. I just wonder what the WWE is thinking when The Bella Twins are cutting a promo. Do they jump for joy at the awesomeness of it, or do they cringe like the rest of us? Why do they waste our time like this? I just don’t get it.

When Nikki Bella was cutting her heel promo on Brie, and Brie “tried” (and I stress the word, tried) to cry, I couldn’t help but laugh. and I thought … yea, this needs to go in Botchamania. If I don’t see this segment in Botchamania (youtube series dedicated to botches) soon I will be really disappointed. So long as the WWE continues to shove Brie Bella down our throats, and expect us to accept it, the more I will continue to turn my head away. Does the WWE never learn? Look at Cena, Ryback, Orton, and so many others. Shove a wrestler down our throat too much, and we will retaliate. The fans don’t deserve this rubbish, a company as experienced and wealthy as the WWE should not be putting the likes of the Bella Twins into a high profile feud (only in the sense that it’s heavily recapped and talked about) when they clearly aren’t ready.

I don’t know what else to say. I had other names which could have reached my “fave five”, but in the end, I firmly decided on this. Kane should retire, Khali should retire, Miz should get back with R-Truth (or just go away altogether), and the Bella Twins … send them off to acting school, get them working with Daniel Bryan inbetween and develop their wrestling ability, then I might just begin to care.

HONOURABLE MENTION: Eva Marie – Wow, how did I forget about her? She should probably be #5 but I already wrote for Kane. All I have to say about Eva Marie is .. she is worse then Kelly Kelly, which is quite amazing.

Thanks for reading. I would be interested to know if you feel other WWE wrestlers are falling into this bracket as well. Have a nice day!
