This is a tough one, I'll have to go with Morrison though. From an in-ring standpoint, both relied heavily on big spots to pop the crowd. Morrison to his credit did some absolutely batshit stuff, though.

I didn't really get burned out on Morrison as a character in WWE until around 2010, so there was a good 5 year stretch where I was really invested in him. And I've loved his Lucha Underground stuff. So really over the course of his career there was only like a 2 year run where I didn't care for him.

Lita I only cared about for a short period of time. I give her credit for being influential for future generations (not having the prototypical "diva" look, doing cool stuff in the ring, etc.) but for a good portion of her career I'd groan whenever she walked out.

Probably helps Morrison's cause that he was a far, far better talker than Lita. That's another big reason I was able to stay engaged with his work. Again I didn't really start to dislike him until 2010 or 11 when he became a whiny douche despite still being a face.
