Underrated Wrestlers

Who are some wrestlers that you feel were talented and could have good matches but were overlooked or if they were champion just not given a decent run.

I have three guys that I feel were underrated. I personally have always felt Diamond Dallas Page was really underrated. He had great matches with Macho Man Randy Savage, Curt Hennig, Chris Benoit, Raven, Goldberg, Sting, Scott Steiner etc. He, in my opinion, is one of the franchise players for WCW. Yes he was a two time champ, but his reigns lasted two weeks for his first one and two weeks for his second one. The Diamond Cutter is one of the greatest moves of all time and before Orton was doing the RKO, it was viewed as the best finisher. He always brought his A Game and had good charisma, great theme music and a decent move set. I may be biased because I am a huge DDP fan ever since 1997 and just feel he doesn't get his due.

Dean Malenko one of the greatest members of the Four Horsement, solid wrestler put on outstanding matches as Cruiserweight and United States Champion, great rivalry with Chris Jericho, he was extremely over in 1998, The Texas Cloverleaf is one of my favorite moves ever be it submission or pinning combination. He didn't have great mic skills but like Benoit could get it done in the ring. One of my all time favorite tag teams is Benoit and Malenko when they were in the Four Horsemen. He was short and maybe that is why he wasn't given the push to the World Title, but he definitely was capable of being World Champ, he was a believable contendor and the crowd could get behind him.

Now many people might balk at this one but I really feel Disco Inferno is one of the most underrated guys ever. Yeah okay he was like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, but he had amazing charisma, fans always reacted to his matches, he had wrestling ability in my opinion, and usually had a good match.
