Hey you, your LEAST favourite all time wrestler in each promotion?

[Naitch 207]

WWE

WCW

NWA

ECW

AWA

TNA

ROH

Mid South/UWF

 

Bring the negativity suckers. NEGATIVITY? And we’re on a wrestling forum?! Well I’ll be damned. My brain is dead at the minute so this list of wrestlers could be a million times longer if I put any real thought into it.

 

WWE

 

Shawn Michaels. Take everything you’ve ever seen me write about Shawn Michaels on this forum, multiply it by a thousand and you’re still nowhere near it. There have been a number of abhorrently dislikeable wrestlers that I could very easily classify as my least favourite of all time, everyone from Brutus Beefcake to Ultimate Warrior stopping at Triple H and Billy Gunn along the way. NO ONE inspires such immense dislike of a professional wrestler within me the way Shawn Michaels does. I disliked him immensely in his prime and he’s a million trillion times worse now so yeah. And I don’t even know the guy personally. I’m sure he walks old ladies across the road, loves his mother and helps out at the homeless shelter on his days off. But probably not.

 

WCW

 

Buff Bagwell/Judy Bagwell/any member of the Bagwell family. I’m not even going to take the time to dignify Bagwell with reasons why I disliked him.

 

NWA

 

Dynamic Dudes. Both of them. Johnny Ace always stunk except possibly when he was being carried in All Japan by someone a million times better but he probably would never have even gotten a spot there had Mrs. Baba not taken a shine to him. Douglas I’ve always kinda disliked so him as a dorky, skateboard carrying, Joe Babyface character smelled like poop. The Skycrapers, alleged heels, beating the tar out of them and Cornette swerving them in an alleged heel turn to side with The Midnights again to two huge pops respectively are both delightful moments. I’d like to think that fans hatred of The Dynamic Dudes in some roundabout way led to the rise of the cool anti hero babyface. I would be talking through my ass though.

 

ECW

 

Kronus or Mustafa. Kronus represents everything that is bad about wrestling at it’s very worst. Mustafa is one of the all time worst professional wrestlers I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. Was very lucky he had New Jack’s sweary, charismatic, crazy coattails to ride on for a while. Other than that I could name a bunch of others. There were a lot of God awful wrestlers who passed through ECW that Heyman put on TV. Still I guess that enhances the reputation of it as the land of the misfits.

 

AWA

 

Greg Gagne. Just something very creepy and dislikeable about him made all the worse when his 100lbs soaking wet with Giant Haystacks on his back, pasty white frame was booked to beat the pap out of Bruiser Brody or Dick Murdoch or someone just because he was daddy’s little boy.

 

TNA

 

Seriously, where do you even start? I could count the amount of people they’ve had on their roster since they began that I’ve liked on two hands. Right now, it’s down to just the one hand and they’re doing their best to chop off my fingers one by one. I’ll go the safe bet and say Billy Gunn. The answer is always Billy Gunn. Or Petey Williams. Or Matt Bentley. Or A1. Or The Harris Brothers. Or Lance Hoyt. Or Sonny Siaki…AH DAMMIT, I could probably sit all night and list 99% of their alumni.

 

ROH

 

I guess Xavier. Although that was probably the reaction they were going for when they put the belt on him. Other than that, the whole dance recital group like Amazing Red, Quiet Storm, SAT and a bunch of others from when Feinstein ran it and the roster was full of skinny, feminine, girly boys for Feinstein to ogle. Some of the stuff they did struck me as very creepy. Seriously, Towel Boy without shirt?

 

UWF/Mid South

 

Savannah Jack kinda sucked from what I can remember of him last time I watched UWF tapes. Made all the more interesting by his name being posted in the ‘favourite wrestler’ thread because whoever posted it probably just went to the UWF page on OWW.com and chose a bunch of their talent at random to list. Seriously, name me a Savannah Jack match.

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

WWE - Mabel/Viscera. Horrible, Horrible wrestler. Most worthless push ever in the WWF. And his character now stinks too.

 

WCW - Sid. From his early days he sucked, to his return from the WCW he sucked. For some reason he was pretty decent in the WWF but when inside a WCW ring he sucked major ass in every form possible, on the mic and in the ring. Who can forget "I have half the brain that you do!"

 

NWA - Ronnie Garvin. I can't stand to watch his mediocre ass in the old NWA tapes I have, he is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring!

 

ECW - Axl Rotten. One of those fat, out of shape, "Hardcore" Wrestlers that I hate. I'm not a huge fan of the 'hit your opponent over the head with weapons' type matches even though I loved ECW. He sucked major ass in the ring especially when he tried to wrestle, even Joey Styles story of him being a good college wrestler didn't save him from the embarrassment of actually having to wrestle.

 

TNA - Jeff Jarrett. I detest the man. People moan and complain about HHH booking himself into a nice slot well look at JJ. Ruining Raven's awesome title run and not letting Rhino actually have a proper reign. He should be nothing more than a Midcarder for life. I find his matches boring when he's not with someone really talented and his promo's even more boring. When he isn't running the promotion or Russo isn't booking then he is where? In the midcard where he belongs!

 

ROH - BJ Whitmer. Mr. Generic himself. He had a good feud with Jimmy Jacobs mind but that's only because Jacob's took some incredible bumps. I find nothing entertaining about him what so ever. Dan Maff was also closed to being chosen too. And yes I do skip there Tag matches all the time.

[Naitch 207]

WCW - Sid.

 

No, we're looking for LEAST favourite wrestlers you crazy, crazy person. A man who hates SID is a man without a soul. Sooooo say hello to Satan for me when you're down there, Omar.

[Joey Asbo 45]

WWE:

 

Im gonna have to say the Bushwackers, mainly due to the Smack 'em Whack 'em video which i won in a competition as a 10 year old. I put it in the player looking forward to seeing my heroes, Bret Hart, Michaels, Taker, but for what i got was the Bushwhackers.. Doing DIY .. With Lord Alfred Hayes .. and .. Electrocuting themselves whilst constanly wailing: "Wheeeeeeeyyyyy". I never entered another competiton ever again.

 

WCW:

 

No messing around. Big Josh. Im not even explaining this one.

 

TNA:

 

Where to Start .. The Johnsons, The Rainbow Express, especially from the very early days, there are a few contenders.. But a certain Rikishi rip off Cheeks marked TNA's darkest minuted in the early days. I truely feared they would not see out 2002 with gimmicks like this.

 

ECW:

 

I once bought a video with a Hack Myers vs. Billy Black match on. Never again. There were probably worse workers than these two during the course of that promotions live. But none offended me so much with one aweful match that i swore i'd never buy another ECW video. Eventually i forgave ECW and bought a few video's, and really enjoyed them, endearing me to the product, but for robbing me of a good year of ECW im giving this one to Billy Black

 

ROH:

 

Im gonna have to say whenever most of the CZW guys invaded ROH, they were the worst workers on the card. Not sure if it counts but what the hell im sayin the CZW roster

 

As far as NWA and UWF iv only ever seen best of's and the big title fights, all of which i couldnt pick anyone who i could list as a worst performer. I always prefered the likes of the Flair/Steamboats to the style of say Thesz/Brisco but theres no way i could or would consider any of those guys the worst by any stretch.

[Guest SuperKick Kid]

Whoa, dont criticize someone elses Least Favorite. That's their opinion whether you like it or not you Evil HBK Hater. :P

[Guest Gooneronastick]

WWE - Tugboat/Typhoon. Hated the guy. Came in on the coattails of Hulk Hogan as Hogan's mate and then lived off of Earthquake's heat. Reality was, he was just shocking.

 

WCW - Van Hammer. Awful gimmick, awful wrestler. Nuff said.

 

NWA - I'm sure this will be unpopular but I really disliked Norman Smiley. Everyone's celebrity jobber and that stupid dance of his. <shudder>

 

ECW - Justin Credible. Poor, poor, poor.

 

AWA - Greg Gagne. We moan about Jarrett booking himself in TNA, but Verne Gagne booked himself and his son, who looked like he could be blown over by a strong wind as winners.

 

TNA - Sonny Siaki - Never liked the Flying Elvis' thing he did and the Rock imitation Siaki was no better.

[Paul 584]

WWE: Giant Gonzales. *shudders*

WCW: Lex Luger, over-rated pile of shite.

NWA: Again Lex Luger.

ECW: Hack Myers. I mean please, how did he get so over?

AWA: I havent seen a lot, but from what i ahve seen Buck Zumhofe was the least enjoyable.

TNA: Sonjay Dutt. Just GRRRRRR

ROH: Jack Evans. STOP FLIPPING

Mid South/UWF: The Missing Link.

[Guest Wolverine]

WWE: Shawn Michaels

WCW: The Wall

ECW: Shane Douglas

TNA: Abyss

ROH: Davey Richards

[Joey Asbo 45]

.

ECW: Hack Myers. I mean please, how did he get so over?

Good call on Hack Myers. He came a very close 2nd to Billy Black for me!

[Guest vortigern]

WWE-Billy Gunn

WCW-Jerry Flynn

NWA-Ron Bass

ECW-911

AWA-Boris Zukhov

TNA-B.G James

ROH-Xavier

Mid South/UWF-Hacksaw Duggan

[Guest the HiTman]

I don't really know enough about the other promotions but my least favorite wrestler in WWF/E history is X-Pac.

 

I hated this guy before everyone else seemed to dislike him, he just had a face that I really, REALLY wanted to punch.

 

And don't get me started on the Bronco Buster..possibly the worst more in wrestling history.

 

Sorry Sean!

[Guest BigAl]

WWE:very few have i disliked watching more then khali although perhaps the bunch of freaks that used to be in there in the late 90's if anyone knows who they are please do inform me so i can tarnish there name lol.... i have recently been informed its the odities!!! (thanks dpdd)

WCW: whoever "rico" was.... disco inferno i think his name was....oh dear

ECW:the gangstas or whatever they may be called

TNA:Sting....hasbeen!

ROH:anything to do with CZW

Edited June 11, 2007 by BigAl

[Guest yoyo]

ECW: Shane Douglas

Now this is a sin.

[Guest dpddave]

i think your looking for The oddities BigAl.....

[DC 536]

WWE

I was really spoiled for choice in this one. Do I go for the tag-team of Tekno Team 2000, or even Well-Dunn? How about Outback Jack? Or what about the absolutely disgraceful Typhoon? As much as I want to choose them, or a myriad of other names, I can only plop (what an apt phrase when talking about his guy) for Zeus.

 

I like Tom Lister in acting roles, but he deserves to be nowhere near a wrestling ring. Brought into the WWF to feud with Hogan because he didn't get to win a wrestling match in Beltmark's favourite film of all time, 'No Holds Barred'.

 

He stunk the place out for the entire time he was there, and was even less mobile than Mark Henry at his worst. The guy sold nothing and did less.

 

He was so bad that WCW hired him to be part of one of the worst matches in history.......awww, screw it, even Zeus wasn't as bad as Bastion Booger.

 

I can't do it. I've tried to block him from my mind by talking about Zeus and Booger, but he's fighting to escape (which is appropriate)...the worst wrestler in the history of Vince's company has to be Nailz. A great idea for a feud and gimmick, ruined by the worst offence of any man, woman, child or animal to set foot in a wrestling ring. We get it, you were in jail, but you're not now, so why do you have to crawl under the bottom rope like a reject from The Great Escape?

 

Like Zeus, WCW hired this clown after his WWF run ended....and what did they do with him? The kept him in the same gimmick and called him The Prisoner. And people wonder why WCW went bust.

 

 

WCW

When it comes to crap gimmicks for crap wrestlers, WCW is hard to top. From the wasted opportunity of the Glacier gimmick to the continual renaming of Ed Leslie, WCW had many, many bad wrestlers, including the above mentioned Lister and Nailz.

 

Now it would be easy to pick someone like The Yeti, who was supposedly thatwed by Kevin Sullivan to help destroy Hulkamania. Only problem was, no-one (or so it seemed) in WCW knew what a Yeti actually was, so they dressed him in toilet roll and made him look like a Hammer Horror version of The Mummy. But as he wasn't on TV enough to really annoy me, I have to pick The Renegade.

 

Here was a guy who was "brought in" by Hulk Hogan to help him vanquish the bad guys. The promos leading up to his arrival hinted that it would be the Ultimate Warrior who would be joining the company, but whether it was WCW not asking him or Warrior not being offered enough, the fans were presented with this piece-of-sh*t rip-off, who had neither the look, the intesity or, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the ability of Jim Hellwig. It was an abomination from the start, and when the real Warrior came in, he was reduced to being his body-double for when Warrior had to appear and disappear in the ring. The gimmick was eventually taken away from him by a heel Jimmy Hart, who, in the same manner as Marc Mero saying Salvatore Sincere was really a guy called Tom Brandi, said to Renegade that, "He wasn't a 'Renegade', you're just plain Rick."

 

Sadly, he committed suicide in 1999, depressed about his career at that point. But being dead doesn't stop him being the worst wrestler to have had a push in WCW.

 

 

NWA

Abdullah the Butcher. I like the guy in interviews, but his matches bore me to tears.

 

 

ECW

Another spoilt-for-choice scenario......but only one man can come out on top in this one. He has been mentioned already, but Mustapha Saed really was the worst wrestler ever. When New Jack can be classed as the technician of the team, you know you're in trouble. But he couldn't even do the weapons-based brawls his team was known for with any degree of competance.

 

New Jack, love him or hate him, made a weapons-infested run-in a work of art, and when he cast-off the deadweight of his partner, he flourished in his niché. But Mustafa couldn't even do the most basic of exchanges, and he is an embarrasment to the profession. How in God's name PWI had him placed as #427 of the best 500 singles wrestlers of the PWI years, I have no idea.

 

 

AWA

Greg Gagne. No explanation required.

 

 

TNA

Bruce/Miss TNA. What the hell Alan Funk was doing dressed like this when he was a talented wrestler underneath is something I'll never understand. For anyone who has seen his performance as "The Funkster", his Hogan parody, they can tell you that he does have talent.....but not when he's like this.

 

 

ROH

Amazing Red. I cannot understand the appeal of this guy.

 

 

Mid South/UWF

Having only seen highlight packages, I've not seen that much to put me off the product. So from what I have seen, I'm going to go for Missing Link.

 

 

 

ECW-911

Shame on you....and shame on anyone nominating Shane Douglas in ECW. Edited June 11, 2007 by DC

[Guest The Genetic Jackhammer]

WWE - Billy Gunn - cant stand him and getting his hands on even one title was a sin.

 

WCW - Goldberg - Was never a fan of his.

 

ECW - The Blue Meanie.

 

TNA - Billy Gunn & Road Dogg drew on this one they suck ass bigtime but as I already picked Gunn for WWE i will go for Road Dogg/BG James.

Edited June 11, 2007 by The Genetic Jackhammer

[Guest The Joker]

WWE

Lex Luger and Chris Masters. Pretty much for the same reason, they just look like guys who eat too many steriods and end up being so boring, mostly being WWE's Jobber in Masters case. Never really excited me at all.

 

WCW

Lex Luger, you would think that some guys would make a 'wow-ing' entrance to the ring on their debut as a traitor to the "WWF". But he walks out and just stands there, smiling and showing his muscle's made out of steroids! Just so boring..again. Hes even more useless now than he was back then, which must be a pain in the ass for someone who wants him in a pretty cool storyline. Haha

 

ECW

Sandman (Present) Hes utterly useless! I cant stand watching guys who are useless and show no excitement in the ring, This is basically his job:

Come out in the crowd, drink beer then smash it over your head, Take as long as you can to get to the ring, hit someone with your stick, leave. This happens everytime, hes too predictable. If you ask me, he only gets cheered because hes an original.

 

TNA

Kevin Nash/Scott Hall. There a bit past it. If they were in the shape they used to be. Then they'd actually be good. I watched a main event on TNA, and Nash was involved in it. Lets just say, Ive never watched TNA since. As for Hall, the guy needs to get his act together, he spends too much time drinking. No offense

[Paul 584]

ECW

Sandman (Present) If you ask me, he only gets cheered because hes an original.

 

Dude, you should be there during his entrance....or at least his old one. Breathtaking to be part of.

[Guest Slim Jim]

Agreed on that Darkie. A couple of thousand people singing along to Enter Sandman while he comes out and drinks lots is pretty coolio.

[DC 536]

Agreed on that Darkie. A couple of thousand people singing along to Enter Sandman while he comes out and drinks lots is pretty coolio.

Yep...as is having the man himself pour beer down your throat when he makes his entrance.

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

WWE - Who: short lived but was utter garbage, who ever thought up the idea of Who should be shot

 

WCW - Lex Luger: Wasn't a fan in WWF and was less of a fan in WCW, they gave him alot of attention but he was just utter crap and didn;t deserve any of it!

 

ECW - Vic Grimes: He was big and fat and thats about where it ended, will never forget him being terrified out of his skin in a scaffold match

 

TNA - Sonja Dutt: Just not a fan at all of him, can't really say 1 reason why its just him overall that I can't get on with of everyone on the TNA roster he is the one I would miss the least

 

Haven't seen enough of the other feds named to say a least fave in them

[Guest SuperKick Kid]

WWE - Snitsky, can you say No Good Qualities.

 

WCW - Jeff Jarret, Man I hated him back then

 

ECW - Blue Meanie

 

TNA - Kurt Angle, cant stand him in TNA.
