10 WWE Champions You Didn't Care Enough To Hate

Am we supposed to be booing or yawning here?

With the outcry of negative energy from wrestling fans over WWE€™s choice to crown Sheamus the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion and the top heel in the promotion, it got me to thinking about World Champions in the past who haven€™t been able to garner the right type of hate from the crowd.

Iconic WWE €˜bad guys€™ like Shawn Michaels and CM Punk were legit top stars when they held the WWE Championship as villains. Each week, whether it was Michaels referencing screwing Bret or Punk taking shots at the beloved Dwayne Johnson, there was a real heat there and fans wanted to see them get their ass kicked. They'd even pay more money to do so.

As fans, we loved to watch these dastardly dudes cut money promos on their babyface adversaries and watch them antagonise the audience every week and gloat about how great they were. But for every great heel that draws in punters around the world, there are those heels that are thrust into the top spot whom the fans simply aren€™t invested in.

Sure, they might heckle the wrestler but instead of money-drawing heat, it€™s more €œI want you to go away€ heat...
