10 Wrestlers That Don’t Deserve To Be Hated

Why do pro wrestling fans despise WWE stars like Baron Corbin so much?!

First, some housekeeping.

Most of the wrestlers included on this list play heels on TV, so they do encourage boos from fans. That heat is accepted as par for the course when you're a dirtbag on WWE or AEW programming, but... it's not the kind of hate that's actually being discussed here.

No, fans seem to despise these workers for other reasons that have less to do with what their characters get up to on shows like Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite or Rampage. People just can't stand them generally - they might be deemed arrogant behind the scenes, or maybe they seemingly get "everything handed to them" by promoters who dote over them when others are arguably more worthy of attention.

None of them deserve this hatred.

These men and women are often judged, harshly, on social media. For some, it's even just "cool" to ridicule them or turn to the same old arguments when explaining why they suck. It's time to stick up for these workers and explain why they don't deserve even half of the sh*t they get from industry critics and supporters alike.

This should be fun...

10. Sammy Guevara

EEK!

OK, so Sammy Guevara has been getting into some backstage scraps with the likes of Eddie Kingston and Andrade El Idolo lately, and most agree that him being the common denominator isn't coincidental. Did Sammy cause these issues by being bratty, arrogant and self-entitled?

Maybe/maybe not, but social media tends to take loose reports of these incidents and decide they're suddenly fact. Beyond these recent behind-the-scenes dramas, Guevara gets a lot of hate from a portion of the wrestling fanbase anyway because he has Tay Melo on his arm, is ridiculously talented and gets afforded opportunity after opportunity by Tony Khan in AEW.

So? Someone playing a detestable little sod on TV doesn't mean they're 100% like that in real life. Some fans seem to lose sight of the blurred lines between reality and kayfabe, then piecemeal together an opinion on somebody using Twitter, and that's hardly very fair.
