10 Most Over-HATED Wrestlers In The World Right Now

8. Jade Cargill

That the majority of the criticism aimed at Jade Cargill revolves around what she does between the ropes is understandable: there's nothing else to take aim at.

Cargill's lightning-fast mastery of the personality-driven aspects of professional wrestling is remarkable. Though a tad shaky on the microphone early in her run, she has long since found her voice on television, speaking clearly and with confidence and authority. Soundbites like "nobody gives a damn about that karate sh*t" are now a near-weekly occurrence. Now that she can talk as well as she projects, her aura and presence are indomitable.

And no, her wrestling isn't perfect, but that is to be expected. The occasional janky movement, suboptimal positioning, or clunky execution can be forgiven because Jade hasn't even had 30 televised matches yet. Not that you can tell that to a Twitter botch bot, though.

The holes in Jade's came are the kind that can be closed with training and experience (and it's tough to argue that Cargill isn't streets ahead of the wrestler she was when she first arrived). Beyond that, she possesses intangible qualities that cannot be taught - and is already a positive quarter-hour ratings driver. That she doesn't have 17 different variations of a butterfly suplex in her arsenal doesn't matter... but who would bet against her learning those 17 variations before she retires?

A bot, probably.
