Hmm ... bandwagoning? Basically what you're saying is once I insult a wrestler I have to hate him forever? Swagger has a terrible lisp, damn I guess I can't like him anymore! I haven't decided what to think about Batista yet, I liked him as a heel in Evolution as did many. If he goes back to that & stops burying people he may have a chance! I don't hate wrestlers, I may dislike some but, that can always change! It's not bandwagoning, it's called a change of opinion e.g. I gained respect for Cena last night, as he didn't have to be carried for an hour! Things change, deal with it!

Change of opinion? Thats a cute way to put it. So....your saying its ok to bandwa...im sorry "change your opinion" about a superstar everytime a factor about them changes? He's heel now...I like him. He's on ECW now...I like him. He changed his outfit!...I like him. If you like a superstar you like him. If you dont..you dont. A heel/face change should change your like or dislike for that person. It doesnt change their finishers or wrestling ability. If Randy turned face he'd still be doing the RKO.
I like Edge...heel or face, JoMo... heel or face, Trips... heel or face, and similarily I dont like Miz.. heel or face, I dont like Swagger... heel or face, Maryse..heel or face and I dont like Ziggler... heel or face.

I will never...EVER be a fan of Ba-Testie. (I would say "AGAYIN!" to finish my little rip-off if Jericho's thing.. But I didn't like him to begin with)

Well when I started watching wrestling I was a mark too, so ... I liked him ... shame on me ...

No, It's fine..
You like who you like. Can't change that, Chappy

Meh but Batista? He's probably the guy I hate most right now, oh the irony

I think people need to realize what a true bandwagoner is.

A bandwagoner is like a person who doesn't watch or follow basketball at all, but when asked who their favorite player is, says Shaq because they have heard of him and have heard that people say he is good.  They are people who cheer for someone only because others do.

By the definition of the OP, you can never change your opinion about someone EVER. If you hate them at first, you have to ALWAYS hate them. This is total b.s.

That's like saying if you don't like a recording artist's first album, you can never like any other album they put out.

I'll even list an example. Pearl Jam. First three albums were phenomenal, but since then their releases haven't been that great.  Yet, their new album sounds pretty good, so they have changed my opinion.

The same can and does go for wrestlers.  C.M. Punk was a boring cookie cutter face, but when he turned heel, he started cutting promos and became interesting.

Same applies to Batista. I don't like him, but he has already become more interesting in one segment of a PPV than he has been in four or five years.  It is not just that he is a heel now, but he did something interesting.  It doesn't improve his wrestling ability at all, but it does make him more bearable to watch.

Like now, I'm actually interested to see how this plays out. I don't like Mysterio or Batista, but Batista turning on Rey has actually made me interested in their feud in a way that I wouldn't have been if it was just a face vs. face number one contender's feud.

I Still don't like him...
