I don't hate the guy but, Cena's E18 is pretty good Do you mean E17? The "Rise Above Hate" version? If so, I agree, it's an awesome figure. I don't "hate" him, though, at least not as much as the Miz.

Dolph Ziggler: I don't hate him. I just find him remarkably underwhelming in the ring. A guy that athletic shouldn't have such a limited, sloppy offensive set. I don't mind him being pushed, though, since he clearly resonates with the crowd and has remained one of the most over guys, despite the way he's been handled. Despite this, I loved his E24 figure and will probably buy an updated Elite should it come to pass.
Triple H: He's a little more tolerable in his current role, but I still feel scarred for having to sit through his utter dominance of the company during the early to mid-2000s. Long-winded, uninspired promos, formulaic matches, and a trove of self-aware, wannabe "epic" matches. That Best of PPV figure with the entrance gear, however, is one of the coolest looking figures Mattel has put out under the WWE banner.
Shawn Michaels: I had a front-row seat to Shawn's later Rocker days and his initial heel run. I adored the guy back then. He was my go-to character when my brother and I would wrestle. I'd even find some sunglasses and dangle mini Christmas ornaments from my ears so I could pretend they were his long earrings. So any figure from that era was a must-have for me. His comeback was quite remarkable, but the character and in-ring stuff never connected with me in the same way. That and I hated pretty much all of his ring attire from the comeback run, and subsequently, have omitted any figures depicting that run from my own collection.
New Age Outlaws: I was the ideal age during the Attitude Era, yet I still never really took to the NAO. In retrospect, they epitomize that era for me: So-so in-ring work masked by outlandish antics and catchphrases. Their Elite figures from last year, though, were things of beauties and I had to have them.
The Rock: I'll get raked over the coals for this one. The Rock is one of the most charismatic performers pro wrestling has ever seen. The guy has a natural presence when he's anywhere near a microphone, though I wasn't at all a fan of anything he did during his various returns in recent years. Yet, his matches almost always underwhelmed me. From the lousy finisher to the abysmal sharpshooter, The Rock is a guy for me who flourished because of his natural speaking ability and due to the WWF main event style of the time having less emphasis on wrestling. But you can bet your bottom dollar I've got his amazing Defining Moments figure.

I'm not a fan of Erick Rowan, but who isn't compelled to have the complete (Elite) Wyatt Family? Besides him and E27 (?) Fandango, I can't really name any recent buys of people I'm not a fan of.
I've grown to hate Big Show since his E10 figure came out, though.

I was never a Mic Foley fan but the Amazon exclusive and his newest basic are amazing and I had to pick them up.

I never liked Ric Flair believe it or not. But his DM was a must have for me.

i really dislike daniel bryan for example, but i couldnt resist buying the boppv 2012 elite of him, it just looks great overall with a custom shirt and the 2 titles.

you mean you ended up buying it right? because that what the thread is about I downright hate the Miz! Hate his moves, the way he speaks, etc., but I love the Elite 24 figure. It's, pardon the pun, "AWESOME!" (I hate his catchphrase, too!). However as soon as he debuted that attire, I knew I had to have it in figure form. It's one of my favorite Elites. Haters gonna Hate, i don't know how i can change your mind. hate him all you want, but you gotta admit he portrays the Hollywood star gimmick pretty amazing. his basic 45 is also very nice, 2k15 attire, i might get it.

No, I've owned most of the Mattel line, but as for the personal collection, I keep it limited to a real selective assortment.

(and his whole indies fanbase)

Defining moments warrior. I've never been a fan of the character, and the fig has an abysmal sculpt. But the attire is irresistible

I buy my son a lot of the elite figures and I have to agree with the posters who said Eric Rowan. As a character, I couldn't give any less of a crap. But when my son opened the figure and put that mask on him, it made me satisfied with the purchase. He makes a great jobber, though. I'll set up Youtube entrance videos and a timer so he can have his own Royal Rumbles. Eric Rowan is usually the first man eliminated.
