9. The Rock
Let’s make it clear that a lot of wrestling fans love The Rock and always will because he’s one of the biggest names in the history of wrestling. He was also a key performer during WWE’s very successful Attitude Era, so there are fans that have a lot of love for the man.
The ones that don’t like him are very vocal too. The Rock left WWE as a regular performer in 2003, returned in 2011 as a part timer for three years and after saying he was “never leaving” he ended up leaving as expected. He’s one of the biggest movie stars in the world and he doesn’t need wrestling, so he stays away. Some fans hated that he got to main event WrestleMania 28 & 29 with John Cena while a top guy like CM Punk had to have midcard matches.
If The Rock never left WWE his legacy in wrestling would be even greater. Whether he was a heel or face, there’s no denying how awesome he was. Nobody should blame him for going after his movie career considering how successful he’s been in the last decade.
Rock’s always a guy that I’ll like and respect. I don’t really get mad about him coming back as a part timer, but it’s understandable that fans are mad about it. They want WWE stars to be around regularly. When a guy comes back for a few matches, yet he gets to headline WrestleMania that’s sending the wrong message.
He’s one of the most respected guys in wrestling by a lot of people, but there are still a vocal group of fans on the internet that are quick to point out that the former main event “via satellite” just doesn’t get them excited about wrestling anymore.
