10 Wrestlers That Don’t Deserve To Be Hated

1. Charlotte Flair

Even Charlotte Flair herself knows that she's ill-fitted to a babyface role on pro wrestling telly. The 'Queen' told Steve Austin's 'Broken Skull Sessions' over the summer that she'd prefer to be heel if given the choice, and it's easy to see why. Who the heck wants to be booed mercilessly for trying to be face?!

That old "born with a silver spoon" chestnut has coloured Charlotte's career.

Again, much like with Rey Mysterio, this is rather unfair. It's not Flair's fault that she carries the famous surname or that her dad was such a critically-acclaimed legend of the industry. Similarly, why should Charlotte apologise when WWE bigwigs decide that she should get another title reign or be put front and centre on TV?

Would it make her biggest critics feel better if Charlotte turned down those opportunities? That's not realistic in the slightest. Plus, nobody can tell this writer with a straight face that Flair isn't one of the best female all-rounders out there on her day.
