10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Stand Being Hated

1. Ronda Rousey

Royal Rumble 2022 winner Ronda Rousey is still hung up on boos she heard back at Survivor Series 2018. There, following a match vs. Charlotte Flair, the ex-MMA fighter looked broken-hearted as fans in LA heckled and hollered her exit from the ring.

That's something Ronda didn't see coming.

In interviews since, she's described WWE fans as "f*cking ungrateful" and admitted that she still finds it hard to tolerate verbal abuse from crowds on shows. This smacks of somebody who doesn't truly understand how the pro wrestling business works, being honest; fans boo, and people change their minds about performers suddenly. That's just how it is.

Rousey is clearly uncomfortable with that. She apparently figured she'd be heralded as a babyface for good, and hasn't been able to cope with the thought that some wrestling fans feel differently towards her.
