 What's good Josh and Bob Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 WWE wrestlers Load by fans due to horrible booking. I Don't know how many times we've seen this where Someone is getting overpushed or the the booking of a particular wrestler Just doesn't make sense and the fans just like, you know what we don't even care and it's not even a wrestler's fault It's literally them just following what Vince McMahon and creative have deemed as entertaining and we just sit there But I don't want to see this get get this person off my TV How many years that we have to deal with Roman Reigns the the good guy Roman Reigns that we weren't trying to buy into For so many years when all these matches and get all these extra opportunities It got to the point where people just didn't care People did not care anything that Roman Reigns did or said people just didn't care because they just got tired of it You know, it happens to a lot of wrestlers, you know, that's this is why Audibles are in place. Sometimes you gotta make character changes because the fans, you know Even though we can definitely be fickle the fans for the most part can tell when something's not organic is being forced And it's not working, you know, so we're gonna check out some of these moments I'm sure Roman Reigns has to be in this list. It only makes sense I can see John Cena being in this list because there was a period where the male audience of Fans were not a big fan of John Cena. Okay, they just got tired of them So we're gonna check this out.

Also check out our new channel, WrestleMania shorts Number 10 Roman Reigns WWE implemented plans to make Roman Reigns the base of the company in 2015 Everything just went wrong WWE specifically Vince McMahon failed to understand Reigns' strengths and the fans simply had no desire to see him as the top baby face at that point Although fans were clearly against the idea of Reigns' ascension to the top of WWE They continued to push him to the moon and this resulted in some downright awful WrestleMania main events against the likes of Brock Lesnar, Triple H and even the Undertaker It took WWE years to understand that Reigns' strengths weren't as a corny baby face Eventually in 2020 they made the call to turn Reigns heel Reigns' work as a heel over the past few years has received critical acclaim and has been simply Outstanding Reigns has gone from a talent who is disliked by the audience to the most popular and most respected talent on the entire roster Number nine this Transformation was fantastic. I think it's one of the greatest transformations of a character since In my opinion Hulk Hogan I'm putting it up there. It's one of the greatest character transformations since Hulk Hogan, bro We never got to experience that with John Cena I think John Cena would have been in that category if they ever would have turned him heel I think that would have been something very interesting But Hulk Hogan and I'm sure he'd probably be on his list was beloved But then his his gimmick got old, you know, it wasn't really it wasn't really sticking with the fans anymore once he went heel and Joined the NWO they created the NWO it was over He became one of the most over individuals in wrestling and that's why I compare Roman Reigns Leaving the big dog gimmick. Yeah, I used to hate with Michael Cole and say that the big dog to the tribal chief It's one of very great transformation and he's ultimately made his career Ten times better in my opinion. I mean a debuting in 97 Kane incidentally made a connection with the fans Debuting as the half-brother of the Undertaker Kane had a tough task to live up to the hype and he managed to do that extremely well However in 2013 a huge shift happened and the introduction of corporate Kane resulted in fans resenting him as an active wrestler WWE would strip away everything that made Kane's character special and he was now a corporate shell working for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon one of the central issues with Kane's character was that it seemed to ignore previous WWE continuity Yeah, and now Kane was seemingly a completely normal human being able to have a corporate role in the biggest wrestling company in the world Fans undeniably hated this character. Thankfully They eventually reverted Kane back to a sinister demonic character by the end of 2015 Number eight the big but at that point I didn't care It was just I didn't care like no, I didn't respect what he's done in the ring. I just felt like they they I get it trying to You know, I guess you can say beef up the authority at the time But I think you could have had him be like a hired gun And then eventually is someone you can't control and can't tame like fire You can't really people think they can control fire in a controlled Situation but once it starts raging and it gets out of control. It burns everybody I think that would have been a better story Having some type of oh, we we have Kane under you know under our our control and then eventually slowly But surely Kane starts losing it and then they the authority themselves don't have control over Kane And you could have went with that story and I think that would have been much better show Similarly to Kane the big shows work with the authority heavily ten fat against him I think the big show was presented insanely strong despite the seven foot giant being way past his prime Big show was so loathed at this point in his career that he was heavily heckled by the audience Yeah, I often met with that please retire chance Which was a clear sign that the corporate heel character simply wasn't working the former WWE champion would discuss the negative chance during a 2015 interview with the mirror and this is what he had to say. No, I think I'm doing my job as a heel I think a lot of it too is just way for the audience to have fun I mean let's face it I don't have people coming up to me in the street telling me please retire I have people I meet in person who are thankful for everything. I've done and they appreciate it I think that's just the audience having fun when they chant that after some time away The big show was able to distance himself from the disastrous period of his career I mean it's incredibly hard to earn the respect back from fans Here's the thing about that The thing that was pissing me off about the big show authorities storyline bros. He's over here crying and groveling to them I'm like, bro. What? Oh You know big ass should not be crying and groveling to these individuals, bro. Like I I just I'm understanding. I get it. It's part of his heel gimmick But it was it was just it was to me personally. It was cringe. I'm like, bro This big muffler if you want to have him in authority You can do something you can find a better way than to be out here having crying and Sniveling to you. Like I just I couldn't buy into that But I get I get what people were saying. Well, I get what he's saying You know, it's a good thing that you're getting those type of chance But a lot of times I it was for me personally, I was like get a picture off my TV I'm just being honest. Like I just did not care to see the well once I heard that. Oh, brother But no no disrespect. I do respect everything. He's done for the business And the amount of times he's put his body on the line to entertain us I do appreciate that. It's just that iteration of him Just went a big fan up heaven Jinder Mahal. Oh, bro 2017 WWE made the drastic decision to make Jinder Mahal WWE champion Mahal went from job at a champion in the space of a few weeks and Mahal's 170 day reign as champion was met with heavy criticism fans hate to this time period in WWE Question what on earth WWE was thinking we knew what there was racism was directed towards Mahal because his in-ring work wasn't exactly the best Mahal had poor pay-per-view encounters with the likes of Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura and the match quality wasn't at the level fans wanted for a 2017 in-ring product that during the duration of Mahal's reign WWE the likes of AJ Styles and Kevin Owens on the same show But WWE persisted with the lackluster reign of the modern-day Maharaja When Mahal dropped the title in November 2017 he would proceed to move heavily down the card which rendered WWE's 170 day-long experiment a complete waste of time We know why we did it. We know why they did it. It was it was for money Bro, they were they're trying to tap into the in the market that we know Why it happened number six Baron Corbin Baron Corbin is one of those names that just can't seem to gain the respect of fans when Corbin debuted on the main roster in 2016 he was instantly hated by WWE's audience He was presented incredibly strong but the resentment from fans seemed to stem from Corbin not coming on the independent wrestling background Corbin's work for the likes of Roman Reigns, Kurt Angle and Drew McIntyre received vast Criticism as a feud with rather boring and most of the blame fell on Corbin Even though Corbin certainly had his doubters in terms of the fans the same can't be said for his peers Corbin is beloved by his WWE co-workers and he's widely regarded as being one of the safest and most reliable workers in the entire company And here's the thing about Corbin as well I don't know. It's just like His iterations in gimmicks. They just don't land. I Think his best gimmick is the lone wolf one Even though we had that awful here at the time, but in his matches can be good. He's not bad in the ring I love his fucking signature and finishing move and they protected his finishing move until Recently last year like no one had kicked out of it. So I don't know. It's like maybe I think he did have some like potential I know he's money in the bank winner. I think he ended up losing it. He had some backstage heat I think that was the reason if he probably would have won cashed in in one Maybe Maybe something could happen. Maybe people would have bought into him a little bit more, but Outside that it's just I don't know like even this gimmick with him and JBL. I just I don't care I don't and it's I don't know. I just I'm not buying into it. So I don't know Maybe time will tell and you know, maybe he starts to get over as a better hero in a sense But I don't know number five triple H two decades before triple H was held as a saver of WWE It was without a doubt the most hated wrestler in the company during his infamous reign of terror fans believed that WWE and Triple H We're holding back popular talents such as Rock Van Damme and Booker T WWE were only focused on presenting triple H in the strongest manner possible The negative reputation had heavily damaged the relationship between Triple H and the fans for several years And it was only in 2005 and Triple H's willingness to make Batista into the next big thing When a huge ship began to take place number four and that's a that's a very good point Just checked out the video of Triple H and Batista's legendary feud back in 05 Triple H actually did the job for him I would have loved for triple H to do the job for Booker T and many other talents, but I will say this Once he did the job for Batista. He literally made him Like the strongest he possibly good could at that time It was rare for triple H to lose three pay-per-views in a row at that point Triple H could not be Batista. I was okay there. He's really doing the job for him He beat him three times in a row could not beat him Legitimately like on a pay-per-view in like a pay-per-view sense He couldn't beat him in a pay-per-view sense to gain the title back You know, I will commend him on that that that was a good move because I mean Batista was the next big star So and it's crazy Batista is next on his list Batista When it was revealed that Batista would be returning in early 2014 Our fans were curious in relation to how Batista would be booked They wanted to instantly make Batista one of the top babyfaces in the company But this was during a time when Daniel Bryan's popularity had skyrocketed And anyone other than Bryan being the face of the company simply wasn't gonna cut it for fans Batista would win the 2014 Royal Rumble and this ended up being one of the most hated booking decisions of all time It's a crowd turned on the animal as WWE didn't even include Bryan in the Rumble match itself Nope The negative crowd responses to Batista resulted in WWE turning him heel and thankfully they amended the WrestleMania 30 main event The initial plans for the main event of the biggest show of the year were to see Batista take on Randy Wooden But this was changed to a triple threat match involving Bryan number three Ronda Rousey Ronda Rousey's first run in the WWE between 2018 to 2019 was well received by fans Rousey was motivated determined and had fantastic matches with an endless list of female stars However, when Rousey returned to WWE in 2022 Something felt off They created vision let Rousey down as she returned as a babyface despite being a heel when she left And the crowd rejected Rousey's current to shift Rousey was booked in a terrible feud with Charlotte Flair and thanks to WWE's booking She simply wasn't connecting Rousey's booking in a second run in WWE has seriously let her down And the fans have completely turned against her so much so that fire Ronda Rousey was trending during an episode of raw in 2022 number two and here's the thing about this Ronda's first go around great. It worked. It was fresh. She seemed like she wanted to be there Ultimately, she ended up turning heel start going start saying stuff on twitter And when she left all right cool When she came back, she was still saying stuff on twitter as well. By the way, when she came back It's the way she came back It's like the way they set it up. It was you knew as soon as she came back for the Royal Rumble It was raps everyone knew. Okay. She's winning the Royal Rumble. So now it's like damn, bro We you know It kind of takes away from potentially someone else winning the Royal Rumble that you know Maybe fans wanted to see like maybe a Sasha Banks or whatever And then you just kind of felt like you knew WWE was just gonna go ahead Hotch, you know, give it give it a title fairly quickly and and that was gonna be it and Her baby face gimmick didn't work because people already saw what you had tweeted now your baby face Her promo skills have not really increased to be honest with you. They're not they're they're they're hard to get through They're very cringe. Like it's like It's it's not hidden Then her matchups with the people that she's going against outside of Charlotte and everybody else in Raquel everybody else you can't really buy into is just like, uh I can't really buy in live Morgan standing an actual chance with ronda the matches were kind of sloppy It just it just a multitude of things that was just going against her in this second run to the point where people was like, yeah I don't care And I don't even think it's you know entirely her fault. I think a lot of it You can blame on creative but also at the same time it also depends on How willing is she to be a part of this? How how much does she actually really care about the business? You know and that's that's the thing that I think people are trying to bring into question Goldberg survivors series 2016 feature the in-ring return a goldberg you would squash brock lesnar Which was cool memorable moments This was crazy after this squash match where things began to go downhill What was designed to be a one match the alternative to goldberg returning year after year for high profile matches Just a few months after the match with lesnar at survivor series goldberg would squash kevin owens at the 2017 fast lane pay-per-view Winning the universal title this booking decision completely turned fans against goldberg as it was no need for him to defeat One of the hottest stars in the company that being kevin owens Fast forward to 2020 and goldberg would once again win the universal title as he defeated the fiend in one of the Most backwards creative decisions of the modern era It was reported at the time that goldberg was campaigning to win the universal title But the credibility of these reports were questioned Goldberg under no circumstances should have been defeating a character like the fiend and fans were in total disbelief that they had made such a poor creative decision This is why I have some people. Oh, why you hate goldberg? No, it's not that I hate Goldberg. I I hate the I hate the booking Once he beat kevin owens the way he did I was like, uh-oh Oh I'm not liking this Like I'm not I'm no new Now it's and then what what he did with the fiend. Ah, geez bro. I was like what the fiend was already losing steam And then the way he lost I was just like bro. What the what the hell? Once again, it's just it's just certain stuff. It's like bro Yeah, I'm all for him going for more one more run But if it if it costs Damn near ruining a current wrestler that's gonna be there on a week to week basis I don't suggest you do it. That's just my opinion. That's just my opinion So I once again, don't hate them love goldberg. I hated what they did booking wise. That was not for me Whenever goldberg returns for another match whether that being against the undertaker of roman reigns Fans are universally grown as they simply have no desire to see the hall of famer wrestle again Yeah number one john sena For the longest time john sena was one of the most polarizing figures in all of wwe Sena was the face of wwe for a substantial period and a strong portion of the fans began to load sena's strong booking Fans wanted change and sena constantly conquering every obstacle and every top wrestler became very stale They would fail to address the booking issues and even eventually came in on the joke by producing anti sena merge When sena launched the us title open challenge in 2015 the fan perception seemingly shifted overnight Sena put on classic after classic and fans began to realize that sena was actually a fantastic worker Upon sena taking on a part-time semi-retired role in wwe fans who previously hated sena became avid sena supporters And they realized that sena was always at the top of his game It was just lazily executed wwe booking, which was letting him down But they have it folks and that's the crazy thing too, man john sena It's crazy when he walks into an arena now. He gets a lot of pops We hadn't seen that from him since early in his in his like Like when he was feuding with jbl when he won the wwe championship The when he was in that bag that john that's the last time I can remember He was getting universal love wherever he went. Now. That's the case and for a long period of time It's just the booking of him. I'm telling you if they would have just turned him kill I will always stand by this. I know at one point they just they were thinking about turning him heal in 2007 or 2008 but vince didn't pull the trigger on it but I'm being honest here The the probably the optimum time and I will stand on this to to the day I died The optimum time they should have turned him heal is when he lost to the rock The very first time when he lost to the rock And then they should have started rolling that out Brock Lesnar returned Brock Lesnar beats him Now he's he's having trouble now. He's starting to lose matches John's not being super senior no more He's starting to lose matches It gets to the point where he says screw it and starts cheating And he starts going off on the fans because the fans love that he's losing all that would have been chef's kiss great And then ultimately he could have just turned him baby face at a later time simple simple But comment down below. Let me know what are some other wrestlers if they weren't on this list that You just hate it. They're booking like the booking of them. It just it ruined it for you Like, you know, I don't care to see them on my tv because I the way they're treating this character I just don't care. Let me know down below But I appreciate all love and support you guys have shown on the channel road to 150k and I am still Yeah, I'll just be the youtube president champ of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace
