7 Most Polarizing Wrestlers in WWE Today

For some wrestlers, boos and cheers meld together into an indistinct sound of discord.  Their fan clubs are just as populated as message boards where the wrestler is eviscerated with harsh words.

Looking at the same wrestler, one fan sees a future Hall of Famer; another sees an embarrassment.

This divisiveness is one of the reasons WWE employs such a diverse group of performers.  A roster full of John Cenas leave out a significant chunk of the wrestling-loving public.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was universally loved.  For Bastion Booger, the complete opposite was true.

Most everyone else resides somewhere in between.

As an audience in totality, we haven't quite figured out how we feel about the following seven superstars.  

7. The Miz

The Miz's rapid descent from WWE Champion to afterthought has had him occupy every position various fans thinks he deserves.

His athleticism and stage and ring presence have some fans wondering when he'll be on top of the world again.  Others hope he fades away completely.

It seems WWE is as undecided as the fans are.

Miz has been one of the faces of the franchise as he circuited the talk shows and award shows during his title run.  He's also served as last minute pay-per-view filler and pre-show entertainment.

Judging by the amount of "I'm Awesome" shirts I've seen at WWE shows, the Miz still has his share of supporters.  

Does he have enough of them to justify a move up the card, though?

6. Big Show

Big Show can elicit a chorus of yawns just as easily as he can a succession of fist pumps.

You will hear some fans tell you that the World's Largest Athlete is slow and boring.  He's a poor man's Andre the Giant who doesn't have the 'it' factor, they'll tell you.

In your other ear, you may hear that he's the best big man of all time.  People who say this will cite the length of his career, his impact on WCW and WWE, as well as the number of memorable brawls he's produced.

These are the fans itching to see him in a Steel Cage against John Cena at No Way Out.  They hope he continues to be John Laurinaitis' attack dog and stay in the limelight.

Anti-Show fans are tired of him.

Thanks for the memories, but give someone else a shot, they'll say.  

5. Sin Cara

Sin Cara came to the WWE in 2011, bursting with promise.  WWE hoped for the second coming of Rey Mysterio.  

Despite acquiring a solid fan base, Sin Cara has developed a reputation as a botch artist.

Regardless of how he does post-injury, some of his detractors will always see him as a failure.  

Another faction of the WWE universe is excited to see him bring his fast-paced, dynamic style to the U.S.  Sin Cara supporters argue that his struggles are due to a difficult adjustment to the WWE style and a lack of wrestlers who can work well with him.

The folks booing him out of the building are tired of excuses.

To them, Sin Cara is a failed experiment, a Mexican star whose success over there never translated.

4. Santino Marella

Is Santino a) the funniest, most entertaining man in wrestling or b) an insult to the history of the sport?

The WWE Universe's answer to that question is not exactly split 50/50, but both have a significant following.

At Elimination Chamber 2012, as Santino came within a breath of the World Heavyweight Championship, some of the audience cheered.  Santino as world champ, in their eyes, would be fun, putting a highly entertaining wrestler on top of the sports entertainment world.

There were also fans who cringed.  

These are the fans who think his United States title run is tarnishing its legacy.

Santino is like a joke: some people will laugh and enjoy it, and some will just never get it.

3. Brodus Clay

Brodus Clay's metamorphosis from generic monster heel to the funky goofball we watch now is either brilliant or idiotic, depending on who you ask.

Some find his routine a fun, refreshing change.

To them, his fat-jiggling dance routines add entertainment.  Clay is a welcome addition to the sport in their mind.

To others, it's a silly concept that is grating to watch.

These fans imagine that Lou Thesz is spinning in his grave every time that Clay asks somebody to call his momma.

As the novelty of the Funkasaurus shtick wears off, we'll see if more and more fans began to wish him extinct.

2. Triple H

Depending on who you talk to, Triple H is either a WWE legend or simply a product of a beneficial marriage.

After marrying Stephanie McMahon, Triple H was thrust into a prominent position in the McMahon family business.  The fog of resentment that followed has threatened to cloak his accomplishments and talent.

Booker and wrestler double duty has never been a friend-making activity.  Ask Verne Gagne or Dusty Rhodes.

The Game inserting himself into the Summer of Punk as well as a high-profile WrestleMania 28 match only gave his detractors more ammo.

At the same time, his Hell in a Cell clash with the Undertaker was one of the event's highlights.  

As much as his marriage has benefited him, there's no denying Triple H's ring skills and contributions to the sport.  Maybe he did have too many title runs, but they did produce a wealth of classic matches.

1. John Cena

There has never been a wrestler as polarizing as John Cena.

Beloved and despised simultaneously, WWE's megastar receives enormous roars from some crowds and vicious boos from others.  

Is there anything Cena can do to win over his critics?  He's relinquished the WWE title and gave us a five-star match.  For many, it's not enough.

Kids adore him and continue to make Cena one of the biggest merchandise sellers in WWE history.  

Meanwhile, the "We Hate Cena" T-shirt wearing portion of the audience loathes his superhuman comeback wins, his goofy demeanor and his limited move set.

The "Let's go Cena" and "Cena sucks" chants are often equally and that is not likely to change.  

WWE would be hard-pressed to change fans' minds either way.
