Overrated and Underrated (Podcast Question)

[hb2k]

So, for our next podcast, we're going to talk about the things in wrestling history that get either too much or too little praise, and look at the reasons why. Looking for some feedback to read on the show (and credit your fine selves for contributing), so:

What is the ONE thing (angle/match/wrestler/show/whatever) that you feel is overrated more than anything else, and ONE thing you personally feel is most underrated, and explain why.

Should lead to some good debate on the forum as well. Whaddya think?

Sorry, I was just commentating on a very exciting Ric Flair vs Chris Benoit match.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Overrated: The knife edge chop. Stop slapping his sturdy chest and just punch him in the face, you big fanny.

[Ruien]

Thought this thread hit a stride with all the replies :(

Clearly you are unfamiliar with Cazzam's work. He really brings a new dimension to the knife edge chop that is unseen with scrubs like Chris Benoit or Ric Flair

I realize it's too late

I'd like to add the following to the list though.

Underrated - AWA prior to 1986 was really a great organization.
Overrated - WCCW (Gee how many times can we see the Von Erichs win before that gets boring)
