10 WWE Wrestlers The Internet Loves (But Vince McMahon Hates)
The incredible wrestlers and internet darlings who don't have the love of their boss on their side.
Vince McMahon has inconsistent taste.
It doesn't take much for him to completely shift his opinion on a wrestler, from smiling the wrong way, saying the incorrect phase in a promo or not having a face that he likes to look at, among others. It's very easy to get on the boss' bad side, sometimes for no real reason at all. There are just employees and workers in his wrestling promotion that he doesn't get the appeal of.
While wrestling is obviously subjective and Vince has seen enough of it to know what he likes, it is baffling that all of these beloved and supernaturally talented wrestlers are in his company and aren't being used to their maximum potential. Some have had rumours about distaste from the boss, others are just not present in a regular role on the roster whatsoever despite their talents and a few are being actively buried on television as we speak.
Hopefully all 10 of these superstars keep getting to impress their fans online and at home and get proper opportunities to showcase how great they are, whether they're inside or outside the ThunderDome's walls...
10. Drew Gulak
Drew Gulak had one of the most distinct and brilliant characters that any wrestler had to offer in 2017. The PowerPoint gimmick, while silly, was extremely entertaining and got the technical genius over with audiences. During the 205 Live crossovers of Raw in late 2017, Gulak was one of the only performers who got a chance to stand out as a distinctive character, showcasing his natural charisma and genuinely funny demeanour.
After losing that aspect of his character, Gulak worked hard to showcase his wrestling acumen, delivering every time he wrestled and eventually getting a long-overdue Cruiserweight Championship reign as the brand transitioned to NXT. After dropping the belt, he went to Smackdown where he'd hopefully be able to impress audiences with his comedic and wrestling talents.
He was immediately used as a jobber and largely kept off of TV until a feud with Daniel Bryan got him a PPV showcase. While that match was acclaimed and only increased Gulak's acclaim, creative did nothing with him and since contract renegotiations earlier in the year, Gulak has been trapped in the lifeless 24/7 division. It's a shame that he's in a company that doesn't understand his worth.
