5. Big Buzzkill
Its tough to have hate for the Big Show, who by all means seems to be a decent human being. But as a character, Big Show is the absolute worst. His constant face-heel turns and poor booking has left him as a larger version of X-Pac fans find it hard to care or get invested in him as a performer. So its only natural that Big Show wins the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. While its a career achievement for the 20-year veteran, its the manner in which Show did it that was so insanely frustrating. In the span of the match, Big Show eliminated Hideo Itami, Cesaro, Ryback and Damien Mizdow, all crowd favorites who really were the only ones in the match fans truly were invested in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2YZyivfgfY Its as if Vince McMahon was reading Twitter and wrestling websites all week, figured out who the fans really like and then had his biggest heat vacuum eliminate all of them.
