Excluding obvious guys like Khali and other giant or fat guys, who do you think was no good at taking moves? The guys I list are guys I think made moves look really bad or awkward.
MVP- when he was in wwe he moved like he was 1000 pounds sometimes. He would barely jump for moves that required it and took a lot of sloppy bumps that made other people's moves look terrible. Apparently he's doing much better now.
Hogan- a few things that always stick out in my mind are the awful chokeslam he took from Taker when he barely left his feet and the really bad rock bottoms he took. I know he was up there in age but he would barely leave his feet lol. Overall obviously hogan was a great entertainer but he took some awful bumps sometimes.
Cena- not a cena hater at all, but I HATE how he takes moves. He will jump really high for moves like a chokeslam or spinebuster, but he always puts his hands down before he lands. I'm surprised he hasn't dislocated a shoulder or broken an elbow yet. Also when he takes an RKO he puts his hands down too and his face is like a foot from the mat lol.
I don't hate any of these guys but I always noticed how they take moves or bump akwardly. When a big spot in a match comes up and a big move is hit, it has to LOOK good, so that can ruin a match for me when the person taking it doesn't do their job well. I'll also take into account that these guys have probably been bumping and wrestling for years and it takes its toll, but I'm just in a mood to nitpick lol.
Let's hear your examples!

Cena has lead in his ass.
Don't try to powerbomb him out of the corner either. He won't take it.

Cena gets my vote. He's also in the lead for worst punch.

Scott Hall took Austin's Stunner worse than even Vince McMahon, who used to botch it pretty badly for awhile.

The Rock. He overacted so much during his matches and his overselling of the Stunner was not funny.

Hogan sucked at both selling and taking moves.

I always thought that HBK took the pedigree really badly each time Triple H gave it to him.
As people have said, Rocky selling the stunner was always cheesy and looked bad.
Scott Hall would sell Jeff Hardy's twist of fate in TNA like it was a stone cold stunner. That always made for some interesting sells.
I never liked how Lex Luger would sell getting punched either. It was almost comical. He would yell a lot, and wave his arms around.

Besides Vince, Chyna didn't well.

Goldberg. He was the worst at taking a move. After getting hit by a power move he would just bend over and shake his head. And don't get me started on his reaction to the cattle-prod. Its the one thing I didn't like about Goldberg as otherwise I thought he was one the best things WCW came up with during the Monday Night Wars.

Ultimate Warrior is like a train wreck to watch.

Cena by far. This is the guy who takes a curbstomp by jumping 5 feet in the air and selling it like a bulldog.

Yeah I gotta agree with Cena here......he is dire in the selling department anyway but the way he takes some moves is damn strange.

Cena always puts is hands over his face when he gets super kicked too  Either by Rollins or Rusev. You see guys like Ambrose and Orton who don't cover their face and take a super kick to the chops!  |

Ric Flair, by far. Part of the reason I hate him is because he just could not take bumps well at all. I swear if I have to see that back body drop spot where he lands on his side again I will explode.
Some other mentions: Bushwhackers, Tito Santana, SGT Slaughter, Sabu, Bubba Dudley.
I'd also have to give a special mention to Dolph here, because the way he's built he should be a great bumper, his overselling is just ridiculous.

Flair was in a plane wreck that severely injured his back and almost ended his career. He was kind of forced to take bumps that way. |
