10 Wrestlers That Pissed Off The Fans

To an extent, this was halfway understandable.

Tony Khan employs a certain booking device that is considered repetitive or endearing, depending on your perspective. He's an enthusiastic fellow, is Tony, and when he signs a new act to his promotion, he tends to book them all of the time. He was besotted with 2.0 for a while there in the summer, and when he signed Bobby Fish, he f*cking signed Bobby Fish.

When CM Punk needed a win to thrust him up the rankings, Bobby Fish was there. When Jungle Boy needed his heat back after being thrown off the stage, Bobby Fish was there. When TK quite fancied watching a well-crafted MMA-influenced ripper on the main event of national TV, Bobby Fish was there. The Bryan Danielson match was great, in particular, but that was a lot of Bobby Fish.

A lot of fans took a sh*t all over Bobby Fish when he did his six-week singles run as a result, cracking several jokes aimed at his age - worker's pay is so bad that folks have to grind 'til they're 80, etc. Much of it was very good. Those kicks to the inside of the thigh hurt just to watch.

But Jesus could have fed the 5,000 with how much we saw of him.
