Ambrose wasn't that different in the indies bar he got a slight bit better in the ring. He's always been at best an average worker with repetitive delivery style and mannerisms despite being excellent at them. As for the OP heel Henry for the most part. Oh you're growling yawn oh you're shouting yawn oh you're trying to wre....zzzzzzz.

Cody Rhodes and Kofi Kingston are two people that come to mind. I can't say I 'hate' either of them, but I don't quite understand the hype.

I think people are seriously jumping the gun with calling Cody Rhodes the "Breakout star of 2014." He's gonna need a personality transplant before that likely has even the slightest chance of happening. Right now, he's just a dude using his real name and nothing else. Saying he's a Rhode and wants to achieve the same great success (or higher) as his father did isn't really what I'd call a captivating personality... unless generic and boring guys in the main event is your thing, of course.

People kept clamoring for the longest time to see Kofi finally get pushed to the level of World Heavyweight Champion (back when the WHC was still around), and I just never got it. He just seems like the typical midcard act who you can count on to have fast and exciting matches (as evidenced by him being given the midcard belts on occasion, just like Christian who came before him), not someone who could carry the second tier division of the company for any sustained period of time.

As far as names from the past go, definitely "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Could never stand him on the mic 99.9% of the time and it's hard to imagine that THIS was the guy drawing mega heat against Hulk Hogan in the 80's.

Cody, Sandow, and to a lesser extent fandango.
I'm sort of with you on Sandow. the gimmick was cool initially but it hasn't developed much and he doesn't offer anything from a match quality perspective.

Fandango though I thought everyone hated? I may be behind on that

After WM so many people were licking his ass at the reaction he got there and the subsequent RAW. I was still unimpressed. I'm not sure if they've changed their minds or not.

I remember being keen on the gimmick for a while for it's ridiculousness and how Curtis ingrained it with everything he did but even I find him dull now.
