Forgot Batista in his most recent run as well. Couldn't stand him on his return and didn't enjoy anything he did until the triple threat at Mania. He fits the heel douchebag/enforcer role so well, though. I don't want to see him re-emerge as a face though

Bo Dallas and Adam Rose. At first, I was a bit skeptical, then I decided to give them a chance. Now I enjoy watching them, in my opinion.

Though I never disliked him, I thought Reigns seemed out of place with Rollins/Ambrose... He definitely grew on me over the years. Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, and SHEAMUS. I can't believe the amount of hate he gets. I understand not liking his first push but everything after that was well deserved. There's no greater dissonance in a WWE star from terrible character to great matches than Sheamus. |

Miz is the biggest one. I thought he was awful when he debuted. Now he's one of my all time favorites.

I hated Heath Slater when he was just generic henchman heel with Nexus and The Corre but that's because he had an extremely punchable face and no personality whatsoever. Since the whole One Man Band thing going into 3MB though he's became one of my top 10-15 favorites in the WWE

I thought they were killing Barrett by giving him the Bad News gimmick but after EC I was safely a fan of his

Cena - well I liked him when he made that awesome debut, then got bored when he did nothing of note for a year, then despised the lame white rapper gimmick. Those awesome matches with Umaga, Khali and Lashley won me over. Cesaro - awful until Zeb Colter rescued him, and I started to enjoy his work. But he's been very unimpressive since the Heyman deal. Rusev - his match with Big E really impressed me, and his showdown with Reigns in the battle royal. Santino - although this one isn't really fair, because it coincided with changing his act. When they realised a couple of months in that he couldn't wrestle and made him a comedy guy, he became much more enjoyable. Alicia Fox - purely by being the only interesting diva the last few months. Khali and awesome match do not belong in the same sentence. |

Khali and awesome match do not belong in the same sentence. And that is how John Cena grew on me. |

Cody Rhodes.
I disliked him initially, but hes grown on me since his Dashing gimmick.
I'm really interested to see where he goes with Stardust.

Bo Dallas. I didn't really have an opinion on him, other then the idea that he was identical looking to Bray. The more he gets into his character the more I love it.
Dean Ambrose. He's grown on me BIG TIME. To be fair, his talent was a little overshadowed by the constant hot tags of Roman Reigns. Nonetheless, I love his mic skills and his ability to play his character while wrestling. His ability to never get out of character is awesome.
Dolph Ziggler. I have a love hate relationship with Dolph, but I currently love him. Especially when he said "Is this her gum?" after kissing Summer Rae on Raw. Epicness.

RyBaxel, love the guys now, at first I thought they'd just disband after a month.
I am a Barrett fan through and through, but when I originally saw him doing the bad news with the cheap city rips, I wasn't too impressed. Thought he had much more potential and I think WWE saw tat so he started to wrestle, now, he's injured...

I started to like Yoshi Tatsu during his ECW run, as well as NXT. His action figure run with Tyson was awesome. I really wish WWE had hung on to him. A Oriental Express tag team would have been fun!
Adrian Neville recently grew on me. The IWC had a major chub for him, and I thought he was a spot junky. He has really impressed me in NXT lately,
Rusev is another. At the Rumble, I thought he would be. Vladimir Koslov 2.0 and be a joke by now. He is really impressive. Hopefully he gets into the main event scene and gets a nice Russia-USA feud with Cena. Like a Hogan/Sheik feud. Give it 2 years so Rusev can really garnish backing statistics and give him a good title run.

Wade Barrett - I was Mad they where pushing him to main event so fast, but they slowed him time and gave him time to develop now I think he is ready.
Bo Dallas - I hates him in NXT, But for some reason I like him on Raw
Adam Rose - Didnt like Leo Cruger but Adam Rose is fun to bad they prob repackage him soon since it flopped.
Damian Sandow - I didn't like him don't know way kinda grew on me now they are wasting him
I really in all honesty like 99% of the roster get ride of Khali and I am a happy Man

The Miz - Hated him at first, after he became Intercontinental Champion, he grew on me.
Cesaro - Didn't care about him until his awesome US Title match with Kofi.
Roman Reigns - Did not care about him, what so ever, now I like him, but I still prefer a lot of other guys over him.
Jack Swagger - After he started the Real American gimmick, I started to like him.

Barrett, he was awful before his Bad News gimmick. It just shows a great gimmick can make a huge difference.
Cody, he had been bland and boring for about 6 years before being repackaged as Stardust.
Heath Slater, thought he was just another generic wrestler until they put him in his One Man Band gimmick.
