DEBATE - Do you think Test is underrated?
I believe that Test is an underrated wrestler. His mic skills could still use a little work, but his in ring skills are pretty good. Test deserves to be an upper mid-carder, or a main-eventer.
.......He's an agile big man, that has quite a large moveset, and a lot of signature moves. Also, from all of the years that I've seen him wrestle, he doesn't seem to make a lot of mistakes like some other rookies (and veterans) have. I wounder why the crowd doesn't give him enough props?

I don't think he is as bad as people think but he isn't all that. Certainly doesn't deserve to be a upper mid carder based on his performances.

The guy's already had pushes, and left me unimpressed over time. HE's a big man whose finisher is totally weak, and most of the time, he leaves a ton to be desired.s

He's too average. The guy works hard granted, but so does 98% of the roster. He's not a huge guy, so he doesn't stand out in that area. He's not a great in ring performer, so again he doesn't stand out. His mic work is questionable, and he doesn't really have a gimmick.

They moved him back and got rid of his push and that was a bad thing for them to do. I think they are just wasting the talent that he has. Just like they did with many of the ECW wrestlers that they got.

Basically what CyNick said. I think he CAN be one of the better workers, better "big men," if they got him working right. Otherwise, he's fine in the midcard level.

I think Test proved that he could be a main eventer during the HHH/Stephanie/Test Marriage angle a few years back. He was mad over with the fans and was having some really get matches with members of DX and Shane McMahon.

Then HHH and Steph revealed that they were in on it together, and who got the main event match against Triple H? Vince McMahon did.

Had Test been put into that match and HHH had actually sold to him, Test would be in an entirely different situation right now.

Thanks for that one, ass.

When did I ever say it was Triple H's fault that Test got depushed? All I was saying is that I think he's underrated, and that if he had gotten the right kind of push during that angle things would be a lot different.

the angle was to push TRIPLE H and only HHH. Test has been given so many opportunities since the Marriage angle he's just like A-Train he keeps on failing. I think it's time that Test gets his pink slip.

It doesn't matter if the angle was designed to push Triple H. Test was extremely over with the crowd, probably more so than McMahon and company expected him to be, and they should have capitalized on it instead of letting it go to waste.

What kind of "opportunities" was Test given after that, exactly? T & A with Albert and Trish Stratus? LOL Yeah right! "Testicles" with Stacy Kiebler? Come on.

The marriage angle had Test looking like a major babyface with a huge reason for vengeance on the WWE Champ Triple H. They simply didn't take advantage of it.

In fairness, I think the immunity rumble thing was really poorly done.

The Un-Americans was shit.

Mostly, I just wanted to point out how weak the immunity angle ended up being.

don't get me wrong...I think Test is wasting our time...

I really have to stand up for Test here. He is a heck of a wrestler and he is a big man who can move. The lack of mic skills isn't a lack on his part. The powers behind the scenes allow him no mic time. If they let him loose with the mic, the fans might find out just how bright and really funny he is. There very well may be some of the talent deserving a pink slip but Test sure isn't one of them. He needs somebody to develop his character in a storyline and then let him run with it.

I think we've all heard him on the mic.

Perhaps it's his inability on the mic that causes them to not give him any tme, and not vice versa?

It's not like the guy's a rookie, and still green. his boring, bland nature, tired wrestling skills, and shoddy performance on the mic are all pretty established by now. He keeps getting screen time because he's a hoss, but we're thankfully spared his total lack of charisma most of that time.

He's been pushed and failed to impress on many occasion now, he's boring and bland as KK said, so no, I don't think he is underrated, in fact, with so many cuts being made I would'nt be too sad if he left really. Just my opinion.

I liked his look when he was part of the Corporation. And I liked him with Steph and his feud with Shane. Haven't really cared about him after that.

He's a decent worker but nothing special.
