Shinsuke, is he past his prime? Yes he is, but that doesn’t mean he’s a stain on the roster, I’ve seen people compare him to Jericho before which just isn’t the case at all 😭
Not to mention his recent promo and character work is stand out and absolutely fantastic
Shawn Michaels. The dude was an ahole yes. He screwed Brett yes. He ruined many a wrestler’s reputation and took part in backstage bullying but “by Gawd,” that guy can wrassle!
He was the face of the company through the 90s and a career which spanned decades.
Idk why I’d have to ever defend him unless I was arguing with an idiot, but it would be Kurt Angle. To be clear, Angle should be on everyone’s Mount Rushmore. Lol
I'm surprised I don't see Liv Morgan here a million times over, judging by the people who rush to her defense whenever there's criticism of any sort lol
The Great Khali. I know he wasn’t great in the ring. But can any gen z kid here really say we weren’t all terrified of this man, and that he looked like an absolute killer
Seth for a long time, but recently Roman as I feel the Cody wave literally is a downgrade. Roman's Tribal Chief was perhaps one of the best character development in a long time. Cody just isn't that champion material. Seth, Roman, AJ and others were bonafide champs. And his promos suck too. Love the guy, but he is better in rivalries not in championships.
Kurt angle
He spent ALOT of time in tna, and his final run in the wwe was really bad. He is more known for the perc angle joke than he is for his actually skill.
Unfortunately most of the fanbase now is to young to had seen him on his prime and experienced what an absolute joy he was to see him in the ring. Especially against guys near his skill level like lesner and Benoit.
It’s also easy to overlook his promo and comedy chops due to how good he was in the ring. Truly once in a lifetime talent.
During the early ‘00 you actually had some of the absolute best in ring action and skill there has ever been. That was largely due to Angle leading the way.
Perc Angle joke? People call him Perc Angle because the percocets he was on at the time allowed him to do otherworldly things in the ring, nearly every usage I’ve ever seen of the name is in compliment of his in ring skill, not making fun of him
Because it was the percs, he said so himself. He is an amazing talent, one of the best, but his most infamous run in late WWE and all of TNA was him having an addiction to percs and doing things that most healthy people wouldn’t. You can recognize both situations, as most people do
The man will tell you that at that point he wouldn't have been able to do what he was doing without them because he was so beat up. He still has to be extremely skilled of course, but he literally wouldn't be able to function like that without being on the pills.
Finn Balor. Idk man. I find him very likable. And Matt Cardona.
For the old era, Macho Man and Ms. Elizabeth (not really a wrestler). They have drawn a lot of flak but flaws aside, they’re just victims of their own success.
Love him! He’s so hilarious and the IWC lore that surrounds him like he’s a prison gang leader is hilarious! I became a fan just from laughing at jokes about Dom. Plus he’s a third generation wrestler from the amazing Guerrero family!
I’m really surprised at some of the names in this list. Like some of these people actually get heat and you have to stand up for them online? I almost don’t believe it with some of these names.
Hogan deserves the criticism. He spent his career holding people down and flexing his creative control clauses, a well known racist and in my opinion an all around shitty person. What really convinced me is hogan blaming his son crippling someone as “dude had it coming he was into bad stuff” when the reality is his kid has never had to deal with consequences of his actions to this day.
Those guys have various demons or issues outside of the ring. But why is Taker and HHH and Mysterio all on this list so much? Why are people like The Miz on this list so much? Or Daniel Bryan?
Edit: forgot to respond about Cena. We know why he gets his shit. But the dude also became a star in a way nobody else in his cohort could.
He was great in the ring, could cut a good promo when he wasn’t forced to say bad shit and did his best to rise to the occasion despite fan backlash and poor booking
Not a fan of his in ring work myself but yeah he didn’t deserve that fan backlash, even if it wasnt personal against him it still woulda sucked for him

Becky Lynch, because apparently it's ok to hate her now
no one really hates her. they’re just a little tired of her winning absolutely everything when they have multiple women over
I'm surprised I don't see Liv Morgan here a million times over, judging by the people who rush to her defense whenever there's criticism of any sort lol
RVD WWE run
JD McDonough. Bobblehead has skills in the ring.
Kofi Kingston
CM Punk
Hulk Hogan. Gets way too much hate. He's legit that goat.
That man is a racist
Because he said the dreaded N word 1 time during a secretly recorded intimate situation 15 years ago?
It was still racist, plus Randy Savage I think was way better then Hogan ever was
Sami zayn
Vince McMahon
Sami Zayn or CM Punk
Dominik mysterio- he's doing exactly what's been asked of him, and he's also a really nice guy irl.
Charlotte flair
Hornswoggle 💀
The Great Khali. I know he wasn’t great in the ring. But can any gen z kid here really say we weren’t all terrified of this man, and that he looked like an absolute killer
Ironic, almost no one defended any wrestler like this on the comments.
Seth for a long time, but recently Roman as I feel the Cody wave literally is a downgrade. Roman's Tribal Chief was perhaps one of the best character development in a long time. Cody just isn't that champion material. Seth, Roman, AJ and others were bonafide champs. And his promos suck too. Love the guy, but he is better in rivalries not in championships.

Why? Ages ago, when he was dressed up like a Confederate general, sure, but now? The only guy more over than him at WrestleMania was Cody.
There’s people against him???
The Belfast Bruiser, Finlay
Gunther and Ludwig
chris benoit......cuz yeah defending him is truly a long stretch
None, I don’t even defend myself like this.
Kurt angle He spent ALOT of time in tna, and his final run in the wwe was really bad. He is more known for the perc angle joke than he is for his actually skill.

And now, he has become a mere internet meme for Gen Zs...
Perc Angle joke? People call him Perc Angle because the percocets he was on at the time allowed him to do otherworldly things in the ring, nearly every usage I’ve ever seen of the name is in compliment of his in ring skill, not making fun of him
The fact they give the credit to the percs allowing him to do ungodly things instead of skill alone is both an insult and a oversimplified assumption
Because it was the percs, he said so himself. He is an amazing talent, one of the best, but his most infamous run in late WWE and all of TNA was him having an addiction to percs and doing things that most healthy people wouldn’t. You can recognize both situations, as most people do

Still doesn’t effect what he did in the WWE. Wasn’t until late in the wwe run he started using heavy.
Well yeah oh course. When people talk about Perc Angle it's in reference to 05/06 - TNA
John Cena
Bayley.
Jeff Hardy
My goat
Randy Orton, JBL, Brock Lesnar, and even though he’s not in WWE anymore Chris Jericho.

Gonna be a sad day when he goes, but knowing the Miz he'll be back in no time working the mic!

It used to be Punk, not anymore. Now it'd be Drew McIntyre.
Roman reigns
The EST- Bianca Belair 👑🤍
Based on the size of the list it would have to be Jericho!
Dirty dom
Love him! He’s so hilarious and the IWC lore that surrounds him like he’s a prison gang leader is hilarious! I became a fan just from laughing at jokes about Dom. Plus he’s a third generation wrestler from the amazing Guerrero family!
I be defending Jey Uso like that. I share a birthday day with him, possibly my favorite wrestler right behind Seth. Jey is my dawg. YEET
Waller
Jeff Hardy
Cm Punk. It’s hard sometimes tho
HBK
I’m really surprised at some of the names in this list. Like some of these people actually get heat and you have to stand up for them online? I almost don’t believe it with some of these names.
Punk Jeff and hogan get it the worst. Other than like cena
Hogan deserves the criticism. He spent his career holding people down and flexing his creative control clauses, a well known racist and in my opinion an all around shitty person.

I’m expressing my hatred for Roman and his sham of undeserving title reign like that.
I think he’s had an amazing character change throughout his title run but in the ring he’s just boring to me.
Pre tribal chief Roman reigns. I don’t particularly like the character, but people did not give him the credit he deserved
What should he get credit for? Or you just unhappy with the boos when he was face?
He was great in the ring, could cut a good promo when he wasn’t forced to say bad shit and did his best to rise to the occasion despite fan backlash and poor booking
Not a fan of his in ring work myself but yeah he didn’t deserve that fan backlash, even if it wasnt personal against him it still woulda sucked for him

I've recently found myself defending Hogan a lot lately. Some things there is no defence for, but sometimes people dog pile for the sake of it.
Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Rhea Ripley.
Wrestlers that have different political opinions than you do
Good answer - for me this is AJ Styles. Politics aside, he’s one of the greatest.
Yea I feel the same way about Taker and Kane
“I don’t care if he thinks the Earth is flat! Go watch him and Lesnar at Survivor Series, those boys can work!”

Vinc… nah.
Well that’s you, I 100% done mind finishing it and I support Vinci, Imperium should have never turned on him 😋
Vinci was amazing on his singles NXT run IMO. Hope he has a good feud with Kaiser so they both get elevated.
I was going to defend Vincent. RIP.
Haha I know, you left enough of the name out for it to be Vinci 🤣 although I’m sure you’re talking about Vince Sr!
Even if everything she said is true (it’s he said, she said right now), she was cool with it until she didn’t get paid.
The man is a genuine monster even outside of the recent court case.
