10 Wrestlers Who Were Hated By The Locker Room

There's no scientific evidence for this, but it is scientific fact: you can tell what people are like by the bone structure of their face.

Look at WhatCulture Wrestling's Adam Wilbourn. This is no suggestion that the man has a face for radio, but was literally born to do that which he does: ultra-professional podcasting highlighted by whacky noises, wild over-exaggerations and an Alan Partridge-like cadence.

Look also at Buff Bagwell. He was hardly destined to work as an administrative assistant, go home to his cherished wife, and build model ships in his spare time, was he?

The man was put on this earth to be a grating, overbearing ar*ehole who believed his own hype. He had a face only a mother could love, and, God rest her soul, did Judy love him.

Too bloody much, if anything; her constant calls to the office, petitioning his booking, appalled the WCW locker room. It was no different in the WWF, where his sh*t-eating grin and legendary opinion of his own ability made everybody think he was a delusional jackass.

The man thought he was The Rock because he had a nickname that rhymed.
