Triple H Named The Most Overrated Wrestler Of All-time
UGO.com has posted a list counting down the top 25 most overrated wrestlers of all-time. The ranking is topped by Triple H, who was named Most Overrated in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards three years running (2002-2004), and again in 2009.
Regarding the self-proclaimed "King of Kings", UGO.com wrote: "For too long, Triple H has received a free pass from internet wrestling fans, but we say, "No more!" Sure, he used to be great, but that was before he destroyed his body and moved on to destroying the careers of younger wrestlers. Folks these days like to say that "The King of Kings" makes people into stars, but wrestlers tend to either suceed despite the terrible, emasculating beatings he gives them or just disappear back into the midcard. What's worse is that he does it all with the same four boring, mechanical moves - a fact which goes strangely unnoticed by the world's Cena-bashers, who tend to love "The Game." If Triple H was as great as people say he is, the past 13 years of constant pushes shouldn't have just turned him into another Rock or "Stone Cold," it should have gotten him elected King of the Universe. "And The Chaperone looks atrocious." The complete ranking is as follows: 25. Diesel 24. Arn Anderson 23. Alberto Del Rio 22. Jerry Lynn 21. Shelton Benjamin 20. Verne Gagne 19. Jeff Jarrett 18. Sabu 17. Finlay 16. Christopher Daniels 15. Mr. Anderson 14. William Regal 13. Indy Geeks (Mike Quackenbush pictured) 12. Randy Orton 11. Gorgeous George 10. Scott Hall 9. Dean Malenko 8. Owen Hart 7. Christian 6. Curt Hennig 5. Miss Elizabeth 4. Jerry "The King" Lawler 3. Giant Baba 2. Hulk Hogan 1. Triple H ![]() |

Only ones I can't understand from any perspective are Hennig and Arn Anderson, to be honest.
Not that I agree with the rest of the list (I agree with some, others not), but I can understand it from a casual fan's perspective. |

Seems like they were definitely trying to stick it to internet fans here to be controversial or something.

List appears to be a random bunch of names thrown together with a hint of IWC-ness mixed in and cooked in attempted controversy. Bless.

William Regal should probably be in the top 5 of a 'Most Underrated Wrestler of All Time' list, to be honest. Some of this stuff is ridiculous.
And Christian has mainly only been extremely popular on the internet. This list is confusing and pretty awful. |

Yea, this list is a bit of BS.
By no means am I a mark for Triple H, but he has had some solid matches since his quad injuries, the most recent being a sleeper pick with Sheamus at Mania last year. Not to mention, how Hennig, Anderson, and William Regal, who, as Narc stated, is likely one of the most underrated performers of all time, make the list is ridiculous. |

I like how Alberto Del Rio can be around for less than a year and already become one of the most overrated wrestlers of all time.

The list is pretty bullshit, BUT...
As far as HHH goes, he may be the most over-rated. It took many years, many pushes, and many jobs from top guys to get him over. If it wasn't for Austin, Foley, The Rock, and The Undertaker busting their asses for this guy, HHH would not be over. It took a lot to get him over and the return on investment has been minimal IMO. edit: I know its lame to say, but honestly would the guy be where he is if he wasn't banging the bosses daughter? |

After Shawn left, they turned him face, gave him the ball and he ran with it, and turned heel and proceeded to be built up as a main eventer. He won the title later that summer after beating Mankind on Raw. Mind you, he was THE top heel in the company from his initial winning of the belt all the way through dropping the title to the Rock at 2000's Backlash event. All that happened from late 1996. So in a span of about 3 and half years, Hunter's character developed form snob, to rebel, to rebel leader, to main event heel. I wouldn't call that many years and many pushes. His character more or less evolved. It;s not as if he had a sudden gimmick change. Also, no shit it took top guys putting him over to get him to their level. That's how it works. HBK beat Bret, Austin beat HBK, Rock and Mankind beat each other, Hunter beat Mankind, so on and so forth. I'm not trying to say he's not overrated, because, honestly, anyone with any type of following, whether it be from the IWC or young marks, is going to be overrated. Just how it works. But to say that Triple H is the "most overrated " is a bit much. He was money till he got hurt. |

He was a three time champion before he started dating Steph, so I'd say yes. Triple H was a well-established Hall of Fame bound wrestler before he married her.

Considering he was over/was headlining before he went near Stephanie and the fact that that relationship could have been extremely detrimental to his career had anything gone wrong, I'd say in the exact same place minus potentially running the company one day. And out of those guys you named, Austin wanted nothing to do with him for quite a while, Rock and he were on the same level when they were feuding until 2000, by which point he was already established and I don't recall him and Taker going near each other until 2001, again by which point he was already established.

And okay: Triple H got over the same way anybody else got over aka a push. As for your other posts, how exactly does this thread prove Triple H is over-rated? Because you've repeated yourself a few times? And please, the 'IWC' far from loves Triple H. You're allowed to dislike Triple H, it's an opinion. Just don't try and make it come off as a fact by supporting it with with a bunch of nonsense. |

I could see it being true if this had come out around the early Brand Split Era when RAW revolved around him at the cost of other wrestlers and good feuds but he's been much better since the Spirit Squad feud and even helped a few wrestlers over the years (ex. Sheamus for recent, Batitsta for past).
Cena should have made the list if Hogan made it since Cena is basically this era's Hogan although without the bad backstage politicking Hogan was known for. |

Well, when he got his push, you smart ass, Austin was out with knee injuries, Undertaker was out with multiple injuries, Foley was retiring, and the WWE had no where else to go. BTW he was a 2-time champ before he started doing Steph.

This whole thread proves that HHH is the most over-rated wrestler. The IWC loves him despite overwhelming evidence of the contrary.
edit: I am not arguing about the list, it is terrible. |

The IWC is probably the only group that has a contingent that actually hates Triple H. Try again.

I feel that HHH was a better heel than Rock, because though the Rock was great, his gimmick was waaaay to fan-friendly. HHH was consistently hated while he was ending Foley's career.
