10 Wrestlers That Pissed Off The Fans

10. Danhausen

Danhausen recently signed with AEW, and a lot of people weren't happy about it.

At all.

A quirky, absurd comedy character, Danhausen has developed a significant cult following. They love his irreverent, cryptic schtick. He speaks in a funny voice, is evil but also nice, and pulls off victories with a creative blend of mischief and fortuitous cowardice. He also, of course, kills the business, leading to the usual nightmarish Twitter experience.

As ever, the furore was wildly overblown.

What some people often fail to comprehend is that Tony Khan isn't a cheapskate who almost exclusively promotes singles matches and won't even fork out to give a middling talker a manager to obscure their weaknesses. Khan embraces managers, "goons," mams, tag team wrestling, multi-mans and rarely-sighted side characters, all in pursuit of accentuating the main acts. Danhausen will fall within the latter character type.

He isn't going to beat Bryan Danielson or anything quite so daft as that. As an associate of the Best Friends, he's going to do some fun/"fun" stuff in the background, tease doing something substantial in the ring for a fair amount of time, and then simply do it in a specific context that isn't overbearing.

Already, a serious AEW act has treated Danhausen with disdain: Jon Moxley, who sized him up with zero respect before he was lulled into a Wheeler YUTA dive.
