10 Wrestlers That Pissed Off The Fans

2. Eva Marie

That blasted Eva Marie! She refers to Piper Niven as 'Doudrop', and she can't wrestle!

No sh*t. What do you even watch WWE for? The wrestling?!

Do you watch WWE for a glimpse at Tamina's expert application of strong style, her perfectly-paced fire-up spots, the slow crumble when it dawns on her that adrenaline and resolve isn't enough to mask the searing pain? Do you watch WWE to marvel at MACE expertly manipulate the crowd with his subtle ability to struggle through a worked limb injury?

No, you don't.

You were meant to receive Eva Marie as a chancer who only ever wanted to use wrestling as a vehicle to advance her general celebrity status, and if that's what pissed you off, well, sorry. A lot of WWE wrestlers don't actually want to take bumps. They want to get handsome to take fewer, safer bumps than they did on the independent scene before they gave a second thought to their future.

Eva Marie barely even wrestled during her second run because that was the entire bit.
