Kevin Owens. I think I lost faith around Brooklyn when the women's match was better than him and Balor's. To be honest, I lost faith and interest in Balor around the same time.

His look does get in the way. Sorry, but it does. He looks like a little boy playing wrestler when he's in there with anyone that is any bigger than John Cena. For him to beat them up, they've got to concede that he is better pound-for-pound than they are -- given his obvious reach and weight disadvantage. I was all-for a Roman Reigns/Kevin Owens program, but that was until I saw them in the ring together and Owens was instantly the babyface.

I find his matches repetitve and I hate the "Oh! What's this?!? A Fisherman Buster from the second rope! This has to be it!" (it's never been it) "1-2-NO! Oh my god, how badly does *literally any wrestler on the roster* want it?!?" style. There's no drama in it. The guy can tell a good story on the mic sometimes -- he's a good antagonist anyway -- but I can't buy him as a credible wrestler, and I think everyone that can is sort of looking at him through irony bribe specs, and that's a large part of why ratings are going down each week (beyond the death of cable).
