The worst wrestler that is most largely accepted?
This is a topic that I'm sure has been done, but cannot remember personally, and am curious to hear insight on. Which wrestler do you believe is the most beloved by us, critically, but is actually not that good. I guess it's similar to being "overrated," but I'm looking more for guys who are rated fairly, but we still love them anyway.
The first who comes to mind, for me anyway, although I'm not sure they are the best example, is Kevin Nash. Sure, you have some who say he sucks, and will stand by that; but for all his success in the business, and his limitations in the ring, he brings with him the guilty pleasure of just being entertaining to listen to talking. Plus his size definitely works in his favour of being a credible main event, despite not being a technical wonder. Another guy is perhaps Kane. I'm a Kane mark, personally, and he does have some enjoyable matches. Right now, he is doing some of the best work of his career, and is being rewarded and justifiably so. But if you made a list of the greatest Kane matches, a lot of them would probably be more "entertaining" than "good," and be gimmick bouts involving quite a few more talented guys. I guess you could call this thread "Saving graces." But what I'd really be interested in is a guy who can technically work, and is entertaining, but is beloved for us a bit more than other guys of equal or even better ability. Pfft |
