Top Ten Worst Wrestlers of all Time

1. John Cena

   

   John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. (/ˈsiːnə/. Born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, rapper, actor, and reality television show host signed to WWE, where he is currently associated with the SmackDown brand.

   Cena began his professional wrestling career in 1999 with Ultimate Pro Wrestling... read more

   This is a list of worst wrestlers not most hated Superstars, I lot of people hate John Cena but there is no denying that he is one of the greatest Superstars of all time. The guy can put on a show, talk on the mic like the best of them, and is great to his fans. Like it or not he is one of the greats and putting him on the top of this list doesn't change that fact. And this is coming from a guy that doesn't care for John Cena

   What an overpowered person he is. John Cena is greedy, dumb, and a huge b$tch when it comes to wrestling. I agree with whoever said Undertaker is boss. He rocks! As I was saying, John Cena loses his cool most of the time and Vince McMahon and The Authority bastardizes him to look like terrible. He surely deserves it because of his bragging and overpowering style.

2. Hulk Hogan

   

   Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, was an American professional wrestler, actor, television personality, entrepreneur, and musician. He rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s through his work with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE). Hogan is widely regarded as one of the... read more

   Never thought Hogan was a great wrestler. Every Hogan match is the same. He comes to the ring showing off, his opponent starts beating on him for about 15 or 20 minutes, hits their finishing move, and goes for a pin. Hogan powers out, hulks up, beats his opponent to the punch, big boot, leg drop, 1-2-3, match over. Boring. Ric Flair is the greatest of all time.

   Hulk Hogan should be #1. First, there were the steroid allegations, then he got fired from the company for racism. That's not what WWE is about.

   Pitiful finishing move - Oh no! My bent leg has killed you! No wrestling moves, no high-flying moves, no rope work. Dire.

3. Bastion Booger

   Poor Mike Shaw. Although he wasn't very bad at wrestling, and was the nicest guy ever backstage, he seemed to get the worst gimmicks ever everywhere he went. He was an escaped mental patient, Trucker Norm, a corrupt monk, and Bastion Booger. He had to wear dingy singlets (which look like bondage outfits) to have a hunched over physic, so the announcers could make fat jokes. He also found joy in eating greasy foods, so the announcers could make fat jokes. He also came out to a lovely ditty called, "Booger Man", which is just strange keyboard songs with a groaning or farting noise in the background, I don't know. Isn't wrestling fun?

4. The Shockmaster

   This guy is the most infamous legend of all time. Nobody even knew about him until mattle made a flashback elite of him at the comic con

5. The Giant Gonzalez

   Outside of his ridiculous costume, Gonzalez wasn't exactly known for having much mobility, in-ring ability and charisma and served as a blemish on The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak from Taker winning via DQ thanks to Gonzalez chloroforming him.

   Never before has a sports person been overpushed to the brink like this guy, Basketball flop & a wrestling flop in a totally ridiculous outfit, although sad that he passed away, he certainly didn't belong in a wrestling ring & his height was his only plus.

6. Adrian Adonis

   

   Puppies are adorable, rabbits are adorable what isn't adorable is a fat guy in a diaper with make up on and dresses like a drag queen, I hate to see what this guy was like before he called this an improvement.

   He was a great heel. His character was designed to generate as much heat as possible, and he totally succeeded. He was someone you loved to hate

7. Hornswoggle

   

   Dylan Mark Postl, born on May 29, 1986, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is an American professional wrestler and YouTuber. He is best known by his ring name Hornswoggle, though he also performs under the name Swoggle. He is currently signed to WWE under a legends contract and continues to appear in independent... read more

   Well I'm pro attitude era all the way but I have to admit hornswoggle was pretty funny maybe he wasn't a great wrestler but he made that up for his humorous acts especially towards chavo Guerrero hey I always liked the guy so that's why I don't think he should be on the list despite his lack of wrestling skills

   Why John Cena is in this list are you kidding me? Are you mad or what john cena is the best wrestler ever hornswoggle is the worst ever.

   Whoever came up with this idea should be publicly reprimanded, fined, and banned from wrestling for life.

8. Eugene

   

   Nicholas David Dinsmore (born December 17, 1975), better known by his ring name Eugene, is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, where he famously won the World Tag Team Championship with William Regal. He began his wrestling career in 1996... read more

   Doesn't deserve to be in a wrestling ring with his childish antics and annoying childish voice he deserves to be locked up in a mental institution until they can figure out exactly what is wrong him no grown man should be acting the way he acts how WWE could even allow that is beyond me

   Who was this guy. He never usually wrestled and he was just an annoying idiot. Old rather have a dog wrestle

   Eugene was never meant to be a wrestler he's only special moves include stealing other peoples moves.

9. Mick Foley

   

   Michael Francis "Mick" Foley, born June 7, 1965, is an American retired professional wrestler, author, color commentator, actor, and voice actor. He wrestled for promotions such as WWE, WCW, and ECW. Foley is known for his hardcore wrestling style and for portraying multiple personas, including Mankind... read more

   Mick was never a great wrestler, but he wasn't terrible, either. What he did do was entertain. Not only was he genuinely funny, but his ability to take the sickest bumps resulted in some of the sport's most memorable matches.

   Mick Foley was pure trash, never a good wrestler. I don't think I've ever even seen him slam an opponent in any shape or form. Just garbage but not as bad as John Cena who definitely should be #1 on this list.

10. The Great Khali

    

    Dalip Singh Rana, better known by his ring name The Great Khali, is an Indian promoter, actor, powerlifter, and professional wrestler best known for his time with WWE. He debuted with WWE in 2006 and became the first Indian world champion in WWE history. After retiring from full-time wrestling, he was... read more

    why is a legend like the Undertaker above this idiot. This guy has never even had a passable match in his whole career. This is a wrestler who basically killed a guy with a flapjack, and for that alone he should number one.

    Second coming of Giant Gonzalez for being a big yet slow and limited in-ring talent. Only got by in WWE thanks to his apparently huge fan following in India.

    Actually, in real life he is a great wrestler, WWE creative team is the culprit here, to ruin him.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    James Ellsworth

    

    James Ellsworth Morris, better known by his ring name James Ellsworth, is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed on the SmackDown brand and gained popularity for his underdog persona. Before and after his WWE career, Ellsworth competed on the independent... read more

    He is horrible at wrestling and is only good at getting in the way.

    James Ellsworth sucks he looks like a nerd oh wait he is a nerd!

    He was just bad. Why was he signed in the first place?

12. ?

    Jinder Mahal

    

    Yuvraj Singh Dhesi is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to WWE. He performs under the ring name Jinder Mahal and appears on the SmackDown brand. In 2017, Mahal became the WWE Champion, becoming the first wrestler of Indian descent to win the title. He has also held other championships... read more

    Lol if he sucks how did he beat randy 3 times? even though his 3rd victory wasn't clean but he is a pretty damn good heel

The Contenders

13. Rico Constantino

14. Dolph Ziggler

    

    Nicholas Theodore Nemeth (born July 27, 1980), best known by the ring name Dolph Ziggler, is an American professional wrestler, stand-up comedian, and actor. He made his WWE debut in 2004 and has since won the Intercontinental Championship three times. He is known for his show-stealing performances and... read more

    Dolph ziggler is a very talented superstar and is one of those that WWE has misused for a while now ever since he world heavyweight title reign he hasn't been used properly since he's not like some of those other guys who claim to be wrestlers but really can't do he's a legitimate athlete and for god sakes WWE needs make dolph's true potential shine in the ring cause these last couple of intercontinental title reigns ain't gonna cut it he should be in line for another WWE world heavyweight title shot cause he's overdue for one in my book

    It's a shame that dolph just recently got released by WWE because his talents have been wasted for the past decade or so but him being on this list is even worse. The person that put him on here has to be no older than 13 just saying.

15. Austin Aries

    

    Daniel Healy "Dan" Solwold Jr. is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Austin Aries. He left WWE in July 2017 after a brief stint that included appearances on the 205 Live brand. As of 2024, he has continued wrestling on the independent circuit and has been affiliated with... read more

    As an in-ring performer, he's excellent.

    As an actual human being, he's literal garbage who deserves no respect.

    Who cares if he lost to Neville at WM 33 and EM? He may not be as good as Neville but he is pretty decent

    The definition of a great wrestler

16. Jimmy Wang Yang

17. Kurt Angle

    

    Kurt Steven Angle (born December 9, 1968) is an American retired professional wrestler, amateur Olympic gold medalist, actor, and entrepreneur who is widely regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers in wrestling history. He won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics... read more

    Kurt angle seriously of the wrestlers out there you had to pick."kurt angle" come on people wake up this guy's an Olympic hero who won his gold medal with broken neck he's also one of the most decorated champions in wrestling history he's a 13 time world champion only superstar to hold every single title in WWE and the only superstar to hold the tna WWE world heavyweight iwgp and wcw titles and also the only superstar to hold the tna world heavyweight x division and tag team titles at the same time kurt angle also main evented wrestlemania with a bad neck so kurt angle is probably the worst pick out of all them oh it's true it's DAMN true

18. Antonio Cesaro

    

    Claudio Castagnoli is a Swiss professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he performs under his real name. He previously starred in WWE from 2011 to 2022 under the ring names Antonio Cesaro and Cesaro. Before WWE, he wrestled in Ring of Honor and various independent promotions... read more

    He's damn good. Kevin Dunn and Vince, just doesn't think so.

19. The Goon

20. The Miz

    

    Michael Gregory "Mike" Mizanin is an American professional wrestler, reality television star, and actor. He is signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name The Miz. He has been a multi-time champion and a consistent presence on WWE programming since 2004.

    From day one I've always hated this loser of a "wrestler" hah makes me laugh to even call him a wrestler he's nothing but a loudmouth obnoxious reality star wannabe who tries to hog all the spotlight from everyone else especially those who deserve it more than him which would probably be just about everyone top it all off the only reason he ever became WWE champion is because he took advantage of a prone randy orton by cashing in his money in the bank which is legal but I guarantee you that if they had been in a real one on one matchup no interference from anyone that randy orton would beat miz hands down and then he kept the title at wrestlemania because of the rock John Cena had it won but then after his title reign he was reduced to a nobody except for a couple of tag titles and intercontinental titles but not without controversy though you see this guy can't wrestle especially not on his own and the day that WWE finally decides to get rid of the miz which should've been done a long time ago is when wee can finally put some superstars back into the spotlight that deserve and put them in some high profile matches but we all know that ain't gonna happen cause he brings money into the company with his annoying bigmouth and if you can't cut a promo then you ain't welcomed in WWE

21. Chris Benoit

    

    Christopher Michael Benoit (May 21, 1967 - June 24, 2007) was a Canadian professional wrestler whose technically proficient style earned him acclaim in Japan and North America. Over his 22-year career, he won multiple world titles in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment... read more

    Oh so chris Benoit is on this list why he was one of the most skilled wrestlers people hate for this come on guys seriously?

    Lol, these idiots are talking about Chris was a murderer. it has nothing to do with that idea. This topic is about an ability, ring performance.

    Two words that destroys all credibility he left in the wrestling world: Family-Killer

22. Santino Marella

    

    Anthony Carelli, better known by his ring name Santino Marella, is an Italian-Canadian actor, retired professional wrestler, and mixed martial artist. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he gained popularity for his comedic persona and multiple reigns as Intercontinental Champion. After retiring... read more

    Santino Marella is one of those prime examples of WWE being "pg" a fool who goes out there makes a fool of himself in front of a live audience by using that stupid cobra which is a horrible pg version of mr socko I mean instead of sticking a sock down someone's throat you're pretending that that sock is a real life cobra and making it jam into someone's throat which probably isn't anything at all not to mention that he goes down the entrance ramp like an idiot swiveling his hips and pretending like he's playing a trumpet or bugle whatever it is the point is he's nothing more than a comedy act not a legitimate wrestler but hey it's pg right WWE needs those kind of guys they're for the kids now I guess wrestling with attitude doesn't mean anymore these days

23. Johnny Rodz

24. Zeus

    He appears in a flop of a movie with Hulk Hogan and the next thing you know he is on the air with his plastic shoulder pads on, trying to look fierce with his crossed eyes and total lack of talent- even Bastion Booger could have beat him in a real match.

    This guy did not even wrestle at all. He had no wrestling capability whatsoever. He only wrestled in tag ream matches so his partner can carry the load. I felt sorry for his opponents who had to make him look good. Talk about an impossible task.

    Only brought in as a promotional tie-in to Hogan's dud of a movie, No Holds Barred, and had a limited shelf life of one year as a result. Even with the monster gimmick given to him, he was not a serious threat to Hogan and was sad to see in the ring.

25. Simon Dean

    

    Michael Bucci is an American semi-retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances in Extreme Championship Wrestling as Nova, Super Nova, and "Hollywood" Nova, and in World Wrestling Entertainment as Simon Dean. The Simon Dean character was a comedic fitness guru often seen promoting... read more

    Guys like simon dean and Eugene etc are what made WWE look very foolish at the time what waste of money that WWE poured into hiring these guys sorry but at that time WWE shouldve changed it's name from world wrestling entertainment to world wide embarrassment because that's exactly what it was at the time

    This guy is a stupid goofball. He was a waste of space in WWE and should've never been hired

    Simon dean is the worst because he says he's scared of some wrestlers and I hate he's song

26. Fandango

    

    Curtis Jonathan Hussey is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Fandango. He was an NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Tyler Breeze, performing under the tag team name Breezango. Hussey and Breeze were released from WWE in June 2021... read more

    This fella is strong and awesome I like him. He is very talented and skilful but he is wasted in WWE should be put in NXT in my opinion

    Wow fandango what is bad about this guy he got chicks dance moves and a nice jacket what bad can happen

    Johnny Curtis is a very good wrestler, just given a crappy gimmick.

27. Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz

    He has 4 moves luckily he used his finisher on stephanie and not chyna
