Most Overrated...
 
Tell me your thoughts on the most overrated ______ in wrestling.

Most over rated match, wrestler, tag team, federation, manager, announcer, ect...

I think the most over rated wrestler is Sting. His crow gimmack was the shit before he wrestled.

I think TNA is over rated as well, I can't sit through an entire 1 hour show.

Carlos Cabrera is the most overrated Spanish announcer.

Anybody Thrilla 01-20-2006 12:23 PM

Nick Patrick is the most overrated referee.

FourFifty 01-20-2006 12:24 PM

"Real American" is the most over rated theme music.

Jaton 01-20-2006 12:43 PM

Smarks overrate Paul London and Brian Kendrick.

Dorkchop 01-20-2006 12:45 PM

AJ Styles is the most overrated wrestler in TNA.

Match - Undertaker vs. Mankind, Hell In A Cell

Good match, but not the all-time classic that people make it out to be. There were only about ten moves actually performed during the course of the match. The high spots were fantastic, among the best ever, but there were lengthy gaps of nothing between them.

Wrestler - Steve Austin

Don't get me wrong, in his prime there was no one better. However, WWE ran him into the ground in the latter years of his career. He put on some phenomenal matches throughout the 1990s, but over the last five or so years, every time he shows up, it's the exact same routine. He goes through the motions, but he's lacking the edge that made him...what's the word...watchable during the Attitude era. But every time he comes back, it's like Christ himself is walking through the curtain, and he swallows up massive amounts of air time like he was still a main-eventer. Then he gets his feelings hurt and goes home, only to be welcomed back with open arms a few months later. Lather rinse repeat.

overrated wrestler= Undertaker

The Naitch 01-20-2006 02:38 PM

I agree, Austin these days is absolute crap

Evolution 01-20-2006 02:42 PM

Bret and Flair = EXTREMELY over-rated. Don't misunderstand, they were good, but they weren't that good. Same match week in week out, no charisma, just a couple of great matches in their legacy (Bret/Michaels, Flair/Steamboat)

Oh yeah, WrestleMania XX was utter crap (except for the closing moments.)

The Gooch 01-20-2006 03:00 PM

Lita is the most overated Diva when it comes to bang worthy. I hate looking at jowls when someone is sucking me off.

The One 01-20-2006 03:55 PM

WrestleMania X-8: The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Most. Overrated. Match. EVER.

Smarks over rate Samoa Joe a lot too, though I wouldn't say he is the most over rated, he does get far too much credit.

Bret Hart is far too over rated by Canadians and smarks alike.

Christian isn't as god in the ring as some people here give him credit for.

Jeff Jarrett is over rated...in that so many people place all of TNA's problems on him, trust me TNA has ALOT of problems, some of them bigger then Double J...so I guess he is over rated in terms of blame worthiness.

Hebners are over rated as refs...guys seriously they are fucking refs, a trained monkey could do their job.

Billy Kidman, Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Jamie Knoble, in fact most WWE cruiserweights (or former as certain cases may warrent) are far too over rated.

The Dudley Boys.

Owen Hart...he was good no doubt, but don't make a saint of him just because of his death.

punt 01-20-2006 04:01 PM

Love Flair, but the figure 4 = most overrated finisher.

I must agree. Owen was great, but since his death he gets way more credit than he should have ever had.

Matt Hardy is overrated. He was a good tag guy, but once he broke away he's been shit. I mean, he's not horrible as a singles, but he isn't "next big thing" good. Same with Jeff, truthfully. (Hi Shadow... :wave: )

Ric Flair is overrated. I own and saw the Ultimate Flair Collection, and even in his hayday he wasn't God-like. He was a good wrestler but a better entertainer. Don't think I didn't like ANY of his matches, though. His matches with Steamboat were subperb.

Xero 01-20-2006 04:26 PM

God damn it, Shut the fuck up. Dammit Mods, DO SOMETHING.

But for JR's money it was the best Wrestlemania of all time :lol:

Stickman 01-20-2006 11:05 PM

I think Kane is extremely over rated, at the time when he was a huge monster that couldnt' talk he was pretty good. And come on, the clothesline from the top rope he does is absolute shit

Mr. Nerfect 01-20-2006 11:53 PM

I think Bret Hart is overrated. I haven't see much of his work, but from what I have seen, he was good, but not that exciting in the ring.

Rob Van Dam is overrated, too, in my opinion. The guy is good, not overly fantastic, wet thyself. His ECW stuff, from what I've seen is more exciting, but his WWE stuff has been strike, strike, rolling/flipping move, springboard kick. This could probably be attributed to the WWE, though. The same limits have been put of guys like Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jamie Noble, etc.

Chris Masters & Carlito are overrated in terms of how bad they are perceived. Carlito is quite good. If people can wet themselves over a toned down Van Dam and blame it on the WWE, people should wet themselves over a toned down Carlito and blame it on the WWE. Chris Masters isn't exactly fantastic these days, but it's not his fault he's been given the spotlight, and he has done everything asked of him to the best of his ability. The guy has a nice powerslam, too.

FourFifty 01-21-2006 01:43 AM

The US title is the most over rated title.
I'd much rather see it get replaced with the Euro title.

Pinnacle Charisma 01-21-2006 07:06 AM

John Cena as a talent is extremilly overated. For years smarks and marks alike have been saying he is the savoir of the wwe. He has been in the main event picture now for a year and he has flopped yet most refuse to put the blame on him and try and shift the blame on the wwe. Face it guys he dosnt have that much talent and should at least take alot of the blame of him being a shit face.

Jeff Hardy is preety overated as well. Same with Brock Lesnar

D Mac 01-21-2006 07:20 AM

Micheal Cole is the most overated announcer. He just plain sucks. Period.

Cuzziebro 01-21-2006 08:50 AM

Impact is the most overated TPWW poster.

Better than being pretty much unkown ;)

Nowhere Man 01-21-2006 09:15 AM

Wrestler: The Rock. The guy had charisma out the ass, to be sure, and could carry pretty good matches, but I can't remember one time he ever put on a show-stopping match or cut a promo that wasn't just opening up his big book of catch-phrases. A good performer, certainly an extremely successful one, but I never saw what was such a big deal.

Match: The Iron Man Match at WM12. I'm a big fan of both guys, and the two of them had spectacular matches across the board, but this one was just kinda dull (notice that during long periods in the match, the crowd is pretty dead) Their ladder match at SS '92 was way better, in my opinion.

Booker: Vince Russo, in terms of the actual damage he did to WCW. Yeah, he had tons of really awful decisions and drove away lots of viewers, but to be perfectly honest, those viewers were already leaving long before Russo showed up. He arrived to WCW in the wake of the nWo invasion which, while it made tons of money during its heyday, dragged on a good 2 years too long and left the WCW roster without any credibility. Russo gets tons of flak for being the man who "killed" WCW, but I really just think he was the last nail in an already closed coffin.

Promotion: Ring of Honor. IWC smarks will sing its praises to kingdom come, but it's really just a second-rate version of TNA, which in and of itself is a second-rate version of WCW and WWE. Not to say there isn't anything good to come out of RoH, but it's hardly shaken up the wrestling world like they wanted to.

Loose Cannon 01-21-2006 09:54 AM

Bret and Shawn's ladder match was just on a house show. They had a regular match at SS 92.

UmbrellaCorporation 01-21-2006 09:59 AM

Wrestler? Shelton Benjamin.

I don't understand what all of the fuss is about over him.

Edge and Christian made it good, the Hardyz made it great, the Dudleys made it amazing.

Agreed. Although this whole "mama" thing is pretty funny right now. :D

Y3J 01-21-2006 11:29 AM

Shelton's good, but he's still quite a raw talent. When he's in matches against the top guys (Angle, HBK etc) he can pull off a very good match. It's when he's amongst the mid-carders we see the flaws in him. But he's one for the future IMO.

John la Rock 01-21-2006 12:47 PM

Chris Jericho is the most overrated in ring wrestler. He's good but he's no Kurt or Chris (Benoit) as people on this board seem to think
