There's no doubt the guy was very talented back in the day, and he probably could still be great. I think the reasons he isn't liked much are mostly his own doing. Most fans know about his past problems with drugs and his reputation for no showing and not caring. Fans aren't going to care about someone who doesn't care about them or the wrestling business.
Another problem is he hasn't changed his persona at all since he went to WCW in 1996, and it has gotten stale. Who wants to see a guy in his 40's dry humping another mans face?
