25 Great Wrestlers That EVERYBODY Turned Against
9. Rey Mysterio
It was the all-timer protest vote from - up to that point - the all-timer protest crowd on the all-timer protest show. Only in these specific circumstances could any large crowd turn on Rey Mysterio, and turn as vociferously as they did when he appeared as the 30th entrant in 2014's Royal Rumble.
It was the first of two years where audiences simply weren't prepared to compromise on anybody other Daniel Bryan not just being in the match but winning the whole thing and going on to WrestleMania. 2015's notoriously awful match saw Roman Reigns suffer the consequences as the company man being picked over the beloved star, but 'The Big Dog' was actually in the catbird seat a year earlier as the only fresh face that could stop the likes of a returning Batista, Alberto Del Rio or poor Rey from taking the planned main event spot at the 'Show Of Shows' against Randy Orton.
Fans had repeatedly told the company it had to be Bryan, and it still took CM Punk's walkout the day after this specific show to force a reshuffle in plans rather than any worry that the crowd might not exactly behave themselves.
