You got to be out of your damn mind. I guess you didn't see WM3. That match with Savage was arguably the greatest match of all time? What about his feud with Ric Flair?

Overrated is a tough term. It all depends on who is rating the wrestlers. If it's WWE that's rating the wrestler I'd have to say The Ultimate Warrior is the most overrated wrestler of all time. If it's the casul fans rating the wrestler I'd have to say that Jeff Hardy was the most overrated wrestler of all time (getting insane posps for falling into a tup of blue light paint) And if were talking about the people on these threads rating the wrestler I'd have to say that for the longest time Taz, back in his ECW days, was the most overrated restler of all time...

Ultimate Warrior, Jeff Hardy, and Taz are all wrestlers that I have liked at one time or another but based on the point of view your looking at each one was or is overrated.

I think Triple H. Just because he seems to be a real jackass. He has no talent and yet he's held down almost every wrestler on the raw roster and beat them.

I have to Say Triple H because he has the title but he only has one good move. Then there Ric Flair. I just think he's just over rated

"Psycho" Sid Vicious....sorry but for a man who held both the WWF and WCW World Title, I never once saw an even remotly entertaining match.

I've seen so much of his stuff, and it has all appeared the same to me. I'm not one of those people from the older boards complaining about how "he only has 5 moves!11!" or whatever, just after a year or so of his original HUGE push and all, he started getting stale to me. His matches and promos all seemed the same too me.

I the only time I REALLY liked him, was his heel turn last year, and especially his Mini-Feud with Hurricane. Other than that, everything he has done becoems old fast, IMO.

I don't think he's bad, I just find him to over-rated due to the bore he puts me through. :-\

Yeah Psyco Sid did suck but think of the ratings for this match "Arn Anderson versus Psyco Sid (Sissors on a poll match)" then he'd have one entertaining match.

X-Pac - He is thankfully off tv now, but way back when I would get PISSED every time I saw him in a match. The guy didn't change his moveset in his entire carreer, & his only method of gaining heat was screaming & pointing at his crotch.

Mr.Violent J 03-12-2004 04:10 AM

You have to define the term "Overrated". Yeah most people who haven't watched wrestling untill 1997 are going to think people like Hogan are overrated. But lets face facts, he put asses on the seats for many many many many years. So it couldn't of been all the WWF's pushing him in everyones face. There had to of been something there for fans to continue to watch as long as they did.

Funk? You think a guy who went out and put his body on the line the way he did JUST so the fans got there money worth is overrated? He's under-rated in my book. Do either of them have great wrestling skills? No. But that doesn't necessarily make them overrated. They both have legions of fans that hang on their every move.

With that said my pick is Billy Gunn. Yeah he was capable of putting on a decent match at one point but that is long gone. And lord only knows why the WWE keeps bringing him back over and over. He's not a terribly great in ring worker and never has been. He's got a lame finisher and the only reason he was even half way over in 98 was because he was part of DX. His promo's suck... I'm sure I could think of more but I'm a bit tired.

Randy Orton
Hogan
Triple H ever since his return from the quad injury.
Goldberg
Austin
RVD

PureHatred 03-12-2004 01:33 PM

How in the hell is Austin overrated? His injuries have made him a shell of himself in the ring, but all you have to do is see his stuff with Brian Pillman or the Bret Hart Match at WM13....and that's not even mentioning his work on the mic. He was one of the only reasons to watch Raw during that whole InVasion crapatorium.

And someone saying Steamboat was overrated...wow.

My choice is Jeff Hardy. GB is not overrated because most people know he's lousy in the ring. Hardy to this day gets an incredible amount of rep for falling off of crap.

I know, people were comparing him to Shawn Micheals and Matt to Marty Jannetty. Must have been the hair color. Matt was the one making the matches not seem like spot fests. While that doesn't make for good Highlight reels, that DOES make for good matches.

Now, if they only pushed Matt... :mad:
