We all watch a fairly wide range of wrestling, so across all your favourite/usual promotions:

Who is that one wrestler above all others that you just can't get into?

Do you hate their wrestling style? Is their character boring? Do they just not do anything for you? Hate the performer (keep it civil)? Was there some angle that soured you on them? Let us know! (and obviously do feel free to mention multiple people if needed lol).

I will ask you to please put away the pitchforks, but I don't care for Kenny Omega. I can enjoy his matches but I don't think he's the bee's knees let alone the greatest ever.

If we are doing somebody in another company... I'm going to call out L.A. Knight, just like Kenny I can enjoy what he does, but most of the time I don't see how he's so over... Yeah!

Again, I can enjoy these people's work, but I don't get why they are in the positions they are because I don't see them as that great. Assuming we are talking just their characters and such. If we are talking don't like them at all not even a little bit, the first name that came to mind... Darby Allin. He is the one I don't like at all and his being tied to Sting's retirement really sucks for me. And if you wrestlers are vanity searching your names, sorry, I just don't buy the hype in you.

I love Omega, but to second hellothere, his post-NJPW work has definitely been lacking most of the time. I also do expect it to cause who the fuck wants to be NJPW-Omega every week, fucker would die lmao but I get it.

Have you seen Omega's matches against Okada in NJPW? If not, I'd highly recommend them. I think they are probably the best work he's done.
