WWE: 6 Wrestlers Who Are Unfairly Hated

In the strange world of professional wrestling, you are often either loved or hated. If millions of fans love you, it's a sure bet that you have plenty of others who simply can't stand you. Be it because of the way they perceive you on screen, your workrate, the backstage rumors about how you conduct business, or any number of variables. Wrestling fans can be extremely loyal to the men and women that they pay money to see, but they can be equally harsh to the ones they don't. But how much of that is truly deserved? Often, wrestlers get unfairly hated upon for these reasons. Some of it is overblown, with fans taking it to extremes. They see a wrestler as having a bad workrate, or being a little iffy in the ring, and ignore the practical side of things. While some of them do deserve the negativity thrown their way, some workers are picked on for all the wrong reasons. And there is often a double-standard at work, where one wrestler is crucified for doing something another is praised for. One thing we have to remember about the wrestling business is that it is extremely competitive. Whoever the top guy is in the business, chances are he fought and worked extremely hard to get there. Did they do everything the best possible way, and were free of sins that the internet would damn them for? Probably not, but most of the guys on this list have a sea of detractors that may ignore all the good things they've done just because they "buried" someone they liked or "didn't do business the right way". Hell, maybe they were on top for too long. But at the end of the day, these are 6 workers that I feel get unfair treatment by the fans.
