What wrestler(s) makes you/made you "Change the Channel"
 
For me it was Test. I hated Test until he started killing people with his Big Boot, and even then I just wanted to skip to the finish.

Shane Douglas is also at the top.

drave 10-05-2020 12:02 PM

Bartender Corbin.

Big Vic 10-05-2020 12:18 PM

Stephanie McMahon she sucked any enjoyment I was having watching raw out of it.

xrodmuc316 10-05-2020 01:16 PM

The Young Bucks for me, gymnast playing wrestlers. They do nothing for me.

Gerard 10-05-2020 01:43 PM

Miz, Corbin, Stephanie, most of the bitches.

Sepholio 10-05-2020 02:14 PM

Super Cena. Big Slow. Roidin' Reigns. Miz did for awhile as well but he grew on me eventually.

Bad News Gertner 10-05-2020 02:25 PM

I also hated watching MVP

Baron Corbin

Corbin.

XL 10-05-2020 03:40 PM

Tbf, it’s rare I watch a segment in its entirety as I watch after the fact I find myself skipping a lot. Usually skip most of the women’s stuff, Moxley on AEW gets skipped a fair bit.

Triple A 10-05-2020 04:11 PM

The Miz

Glad I'm not alone with Corbin. It wasn't even good heel heat, AT ALL.

Sting Fan 10-05-2020 07:36 PM

Corban... terrible.

Triple H mid massive promo, love the entrance, can live with the ring work normally but as soon as he raises a mic to his lips I'm changing the channel normally.

Stephanie Mc Mahon, never seen the appeal.

Bray Wyatt... Just kooky and not entertaining to me, in any of his versions tbh.

Hilariously, Mox is pretty skippable in AEW, but everything he did in New Japan is fucking gold. It's the same guy... why the fuck is he so "meh" here?!?

Corbin was a chore to watch ever since they tried to overextend his push in NXT. He got exposed after they stopped doing the "audience timed" squash matches and he was done. It also hasn't helped that he cut like one halfway memorable promo ("And if you don't know who I am... I really don't care!"), and has been slooooowly more comfortable on the mic over the last... how many years now?

He's apparently pretty personable and a really nice guy and deserves good things because of that, but this ain't it, chief. Unless there is something he can portray besides stoic badass or cowardly hypocrite - and do it CONVINCINGLY - he needs to just go away from television. Hell, even put him in a Zeed mask and have him join Retribution.

Fignuts 10-06-2020 12:10 AM

RVD in WWE. Especially post roadside bust. He absolutely didnt give a fuck after that.

Because unlike in NJPW, here he can't help but make it all about WWE holding him down and they are horrible and look how great I am doing mostly the same goofy shit I can't stop talking about hating when they made me do it in WWE.

I don't think he has done anything memorable since the unsanctioned match with Omega. I think AEW should have moved the belt over to MJF, because at least it would be more interesting.

It's well past the time when they should have put a singles title on a non WWE guy, and MJF is really the only heel that himself is a non WWE guy with no attached former WWE guy as his mouthpiece.

I'm also not counting Eddie Kingston, because I'm still not sure if he is a mouthpiece who also wrestles sometimes like M.V.P., or if he is going to consistently compete himself.

M-A-G 10-06-2020 07:13 PM

Pretty much anything NWO.

Maluco 10-07-2020 01:12 AM

Definitely Shane Douglas for me too. He is actually a pretty terrible wrestler on top of having a grating personality and an awful look. The Franchise was as forced as they come and I can’t remember enjoying any of his matches, despite loving ECW.

The one my brother and I talk about is DOA/Los Bariquas endless feud on Raw, week after week. It didn’t matter what combo, none of them were over and any combination of them was an immediate piss break/channel change.

Black Widow 10-07-2020 09:59 AM

New Day is a candidate but my daughter's love the stupid fucks so guess technically they don't count.

Helmsphere 10-07-2020 01:15 PM

Lex Luger

Evil Vito 10-07-2020 03:26 PM

Yep, Corbin. I didn't mind him for his first year, year and a half on the main roster. But he became more and more of a focal point of programming and I just don't get it.

Definitely changed the channel during a lot of divas matches from like 2005-15.

It was one thing when I was a horny 13 year old happy to see hot women any way I could. But then it was like, yeah I could see any of them in a bikini with a simple google search, don't need to waste time watching them do this horrible attempt at wrassling.

xrodmuc316 10-07-2020 08:23 PM

The Hybrid2, just now.

xrodmuc316 10-07-2020 08:36 PM

Another one, Ever-Rise.

xrodmuc316 10-07-2020 08:38 PM

Between Hybrid2 on AEW and Ever-Rise on NXT, my remote is getting a workout.

Helmsphere 10-07-2020 11:32 PM

Also Alberto Del Rio.

It wasn't because he wasn't talented or couldn't fit a promo, he filled in the numbers but he was lacking something that kept me entertained

I hated the entire "gang warfare" period of RAW. Thankfully The Nation was able to move away from that shit. Also, they were allowed to have a personality within the faction. DoA and Los Boriquas were just paroled skinhead biker or Puerto Rican in a wifebeater, and I dont remember who was even in either group besides Savio Vega (because of course he was) and the umpteenth rebranding of Crush (with clip-on face jewelry)

Also didn't help that the company has had a bad track record of putting girls who can't wrestle in matches, and leaving girls who *can* wrestle off TV completely if they weren't on the apron in a thrown together 8 v 8 tag team piss break match.

I know I'm in the minority......but I LOVED the whole Gang Warfare stuff as a kid.

Great call, couldn’t stand him and never got any hype around him at all!

screech 10-12-2020 11:11 PM

Mark Henry between Sexual Chocolate and his ECW run. Don't know why I just couldn't get into him at all during that time.

I'll jump on the Baron Corbin train too. Super boring.

And more recently the Garza/Andrade vs. Street Profits feud. It just seemed like they faced each other on every RAW for six months. Couldn't take it.

I actually liked it... what little bit there was of it. On top of the theme, the hype package the titantron was made from was pretty hype about the then recent MetRx strongman win, and the intangible charisma bit where he didn't have to cut a promo and controlled the crowd volume with his hands. Seemed poised for a decent, refreshed babyface push, then he apparently got hurt again. I personally think it's sad to not know how that run may or may not have ended up. Might have sucked ass, might have been great in its simplicity with the crowd behind him in a "right time, right place" scenario.

Then again, him not being injury prone might not have led to the "THAT'S WHAT I DO!!!" badass heel Mark Henry we'd eventually get, or, more importantly, the infamous salmon suit jacket.

i remember a couple times at least flipping to nitro during breaks while watching raw and seeing 20 guys standing in the ring and just flipping back to raw and watching the commercials

Controlling the crowd with his hands was great (also came after ECW). Feel like they missed a t-shirt opportunity there.

Mr. Nerfect 11-20-2020 07:44 AM

Eli Drake, although I’ve now warmed up in him.

Bubba Ray Dudley and JBL both had “go away” heat with me too.

Jericho is there now, but I’ve given up on AEW, so anyone there doesn’t really count.
