Talking Point of the Week: Underdogs in wrestling
TLP Talking Point of the Week:

Generally, wrestlers are are portrayed as underdogs when going against an authority stable. For instance, Daniel Bryan going against the Authority was the underdog story of the modern era. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin going against the Corporation was an underdog story, because he couldn't take on all of them at once.

Sometimes wrestlers portray themselves as underdogs, such as John Cena trying to put over an upcoming opponent by acting as if he cannot win.

Brock Lesnar being on the losing end of a 4-on-1 beatdown by the Authority on Raw has us wondering - who are the least believable underdogs in wrestling? Can a wrestler take on an authority stable without being an underdog? What are the most important attributes for a believable underdog?
