Sting really should be on this list.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

Some people do hate him. I can't verify it, but a friend told me he played politics like Hogan did.

Apparently Steamboat was so beloved that when he tried to pitch a heel turn, the bookers said "you could show up with a chainsaw and saw Hulk Hogan's arms off and people would still cheer you"

[@sspaay]

I'd have cheered till I was hoarse, then bought all the Steamboat merch I could get my hands on.

[@devinphillips9704]

I'm a little surprised Undertaker isn't on this list. Fans loved him even as a heel, and I've never heard an ill thing said about the man by anyone in the wrestling industry.

[@KANOAH.Official]

Gunther made the absolute best of the name change. To the point where he literally can’t go back now because Gunther IS NOT Walter. He’s evolved. The name took on a life of its own.

[@ItsAssFace]

Fr I remember mfs was saying he was ruined literally the day his name got changed the fans said that, Vince proved them wrong and it proves it's not about the name, it's the booking that matters. I promise if Chad Gable was still named Shorty G but booked like a star, I think the fans would've gotten used to the name, most of them would

Giant Baba. Everyone in Japan loved him, he was Hulk Hogan but without any of the nasty personal aspects that tarnished the hulkster. And as a booker, he was probably the best of all time. He was honest, a handshake was as solid as written ink, and he cared deeply about his staff thriving in AJPW.

[@xjp1998]

I got to give a Tanahashi story, which includes Naito, so the G1 after WK11, I was at the press conference and meet, and greet afterward. I was wearing my WK11 shirt that had Tanahashi on it. So I got to them to get photos, and Tanahashi asked me about my shirt, and I told him I got it at the Tokyo Dome as was at WK11. Which were in Dallas, and he was shocked. Naito asked me how long I was in line, being the last person. I said 3 hours. Which was true. So to make the story short. I ended up hanging with both for a few hours. I got my tickets to the G1 upgraded to the second row, thanks to both of them.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

That's absolutely awesome! I bet you had the time of your life! 👍

[@sammylane21]

Eddie was that guy you're screaming at on the start of RAW but by the end, you're having a beer and laugh with Eddie.....as Chavo is behind you stealing your wallet. 😂

[@ryz053productions4]

Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle is one of of my favourite matches of all time

[@jumpupsupbarhorn]

I hated New Day during the heel run (guillible watcher) but saying I wasn't happy during Kofi or Big E's title runs would be a lie. They're just so lovable

[@TrillyThough]

I vividly recall people in the IWC shitting on Bianca's run and calling her "Girl Cena" in a derogatory manner less than a year ago.

[@BlaxkSun]

Damn that, I remember that time that guy bood here and called her a dollar store Sasha banks… it was a live record that Simon did after her WM match… you can literally go back and see it right now on this channel 😂

The IWC can hate any wrestler. Pretty sure I've seen people complaining about Rey Mysterio before.

[@timrhodes640]

[@kyngblackaries7048]

Number 1: Bray Wyatt All love to Kurt but Bray kinda deserve to be on this list. There are many stories of him being a sweet heart and an absolute gold hearted human being.

[@waynemccray4015]

My only negative in your list is that I think Belair's character on TV is a natural heel. I respect her skills and enjoy her in the ring, but she should be a bad girl.

[@CassidyJacket]

I haven't the video yet but Samoa Joe better be on the list.

[@WrestlingandFilmReviews]

My fav. from this list is Eddie Guerrero (1967-2005), because I used to watch WWE between 2002-2005 and I saw Eddie Guerrero many times. I was 16 years old in 2005 and couldn't believe tragic news, when EG passed away.

[@say5070]

Aaaaay, we are almost the same age. And yeah, the news about EG hit different. I was legitimately sad about a guy dying I had never met. Really liked that guy.

Who would hate on perc angel he perc angel 😂

[@juansanchez209]

I actually find he Perc Angle jokes to be in poor taste considering what a dark time in his life that was. The dude was basically one bad day away from committing suicide, so the fact that “posed angle” is such a meme in the community is wild to me

[@jetla22]

​@@juansanchez209 well everyone isn't sensitive. The point of comedy is taking something bad and giving it a spin to lighten it up. Part of it is being funny part of it is acknowledging how good of a wrestler he was at the time in spite of what he was going through

Mick Foley, Sting, Taker, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, Steamboat, Owen Hart, Big E, Eddie Guererro, Kurt Angle, Funaki, Edge, Billy Gunn, Daniel Brian. Mick Foley of course is the most lovable man in the business though. That man did the most insane shit for our entertainment and I loved being along for the whole ride.

[@Leviticus_Prime]

Bobby eaton will always be the number one wrestler that everyone loved. He was the nicest guy in the world, But was also one of the most talented and ring performers of all time.

[@ronbambrick449]

Yes Bobby Eaton deserves a mention here.

[@zlinedavid]

Second this. Brilliant technical worker and even better person. He was the locker room’s on site convenience store. Ran out of tape? Broken bootlace? Bobby had extras in his bag.

[@briwanderz]

i've heard a couple times, from wrestlers, like on the "table for 3" show and some other show, the two people that NOBODY has EVER had a bad thing to say about was Sting and The Undertaker.. because they were so respected and genuinely nobody had anything bad to say.. now, i'm pretty sure nobody would say anything bad about Meng / Haku either, but that's for a slightly different reason. 😀

[@williambell-rb7qt]

Simon Miller everyone loves him

[@sspaay]

Once, I didn't like Samoa Joe, because I'm not a big fan of the brawling style. Then I watched his character work. The man is an all time great.

[@say5070]

Riiiight? Like I wasn't always a fan, but he brings a realistic level of intensity to his work that makes it real. The thing I kinda hate about wrestling now is that the cat is out of the bag, everyone knows it's fake but everyone acts like it is too. But not Joe.

[@KBGiantsfan]

RVD should be on this list

[@zinniaq3020]

Absolutely. Everyone refused to boo him during the short period when he was a heel

[@MetalED]

I agree with this list my only exception would be Belair but she is growing on me..I didn't see any of her NXT run but I would like to see her turn heel for awhile, have a feeling she could kill that role..and of course her WM matches are phenomenal. Eddie Guerrero has to be Number 1 on this list. Always loved that dude going back to his short fun with ECW and his matches against Malenko. A few friends and I actually got to meet Eddie and Chavo back in May of '98 before the Slamboree PPV where they were facing each other. We arrived hours early and were just hanging out at the mall across the street when all of a sudden they both just came around the corner, so being the weird creeps we were just followed em for a bit till Eddie stopped to throw something away and he looks up, see the 4 of us all wide eyed staring at him and he goes ".....Uhhh, whats up guys?" and we were just over the moon "Hey Eddie,nice to meet ya" and they walked away. Super cool guy, No Way Out 2004 is still one of the best World Title matches ever for me, on an emotional level anyways.

Got to disagree on Bianca Belair. Frequently saw people talking about her stale character when she was champ and I don't know of anybody hoping to see her get another big push anytime soon.

[@ivenstorm]

The only one I actively hated for a time period and it wasn't even his fault was Kurt. The only reason I disliked Kurt was back when he debuted for TNA he defeated Samoa Joe, who at the time was undefeated for something like 3 years. That wasn't even his fault, that was on TNA management for wanting Joes run to end via Kurt, rather than someone like an AJ Styles who have feuded with Joe multiple times over the years.

I think it had to with Chicago being a rowdy crowd and everybody loving Angle or wanting Orton as world champion again. The writing was on the wall when Rey dedicated his rumble win to Eddie, and I think fans booed in spite of knowing what was going to happen. Just my guess lol
