10 Major WWE Stars The Internet Completely Turned A Corner On

There was a time when John Cena was absolutely loved by internet fans. Not anymore.

Wrestling fans on the internet can be a critical bunch. We're the ones that watch every segment of Raw intently, then go on Twitter, Facebook or websites like this one to gripe about it. It happens all the time. Some fans are overly critical. Maybe they don't want to be, but they can't help it. That's just how things are when you follow wrestling on the internet as closely as we do. If you've been an internet wrestling fan for longer than five or ten years then you know that terms like Internet Wrestling Community (IWC) weren't around back in the early days of the internet. The term "blog" wasn't a regular part of our dialogue either. A lot of things have changed. Along with all those things, the opinions of online wrestling fans have changed about certain wrestlers too. There have been a number of wrestlers that fans loved for a long time that those same fans have turned on for one reason or another. Maybe that wrestler that was once healthy became injury prone, so the fans just don't put that wrestler on the same pedestal anymore. There are other reasons too as you'll see. It's time to look at those guys (plus one woman) that had the full support of the IWC and now things have changed. We'll look at why that person was popular and what happened to cause a change. There's also a guy that wasn't really liked by internet fans, but now he is. There aren't a lot of those types, that's for sure. Here's a look at ten WWE performers that internet wrestling fans changed their opinion on.
