Overrated wrestlers - First post

Hi everybody!

I'm a wrestling fan from Spain. I used to watch WWF when I was a kid and I loved it. Then after Wrestlemania 6, they took it out of TV so I couldn't watch it for years. Then 2 years ago I moved to the US and started watching again. I had (and still have) a lot of catching up to do. Imagine I first knew about The Rock when I saw him on The Mummy! And I never knew about Stone Cold (now my favourite as you may suppose) until I saw his book on the Target store I used to work at. I didn't know anybody since all the wrestlers I knew (except Ric Flair) are now retired and though I know now a lot more thanks to sites like this, I'm still no expert by no means.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about overrated wrestlers that got more fame and titles than they probably derserved if we look at their wrestling skills.
The other day I downloaded some videos of some of the best Ultimate Warrior's matches. You know he used to be one of my favourites and I remembered him as a great and electrifying wrestler, but when I watched those videos again I was so disapointed!! All he did was running around the ring shaking like crazy but no moves whatsoever! Thinking about it now I almost don't understand why he was so popular.
Any thoughts on this?
