3 overrated, 3 underrated

I don't buy him as a tough guy when he is in his biker gimmick, and I don't buy him as indestructable as his undead character. Basically his matches now are him taking 5 finishers then coming back to win. His last encounters with both Shawn and Hunter ended with them essentially coming to grips with the fact that they can not beat him and then they give him one last act of defiance in the form of a slap and suck it gesture respectively. Just because the guy suicide dives out of the ring once a year, does not make him this godly in ring performer. The guy is just lame, but I'm sure we will be treated again this year with seeing a smoked out biker guy with buckets of eyeliner go over a more deserving superstar after taking 18 finishers and being stabbed in the ring.

2) CM Punk- The second I heard this guy say " I might not smoke, and I might not drink, but I can kick your a**", I immediately hated him. After watching him now for a couple years after that remark, he has done nothing to change my mind. His in ring ability is sub-par, he does have some ability on the mic but the best in the world, let's start a revolution against cena stuff is lame. I will admit that I like the stuff with Heyman, but anything with Paul is good for the most part. Their shared high five was one of my all time favorite moments. But overall the guy is just an average wrestler, with decent mic skills.

3) Sheamus- Nothing good is offered up when you watch a match with Sheamus. He has zero abilty on any level mic, ring etc. We are supposed to buy his bicycle kick as this devasting move, yet when it was used by A-Train it was no were near as effective. Seeing him do it on Tensai was great.

HM: Ryback, Kofi

Underrated

1) Randy Orton- The second Shawn retired Randy became the best in ring performer they have. The kid is a purebred, it is like watching art in motion when he gets going. He is just seamless in his execution, and as smooth as any wrestler has been. He has a plethora of moves, sure he has some chain moves. But so does every wrestler ever, really no flaws in ring for him. On the mic he is average, but when he is "entertaining" such as when he kissed stephanie or when he is punting people it's great. His downside is everything he does when the camera is off. He has matured a great deal from what he once was, but he is still having problems. I really hope he gets it under control because it would make me sick to see him wrestle any were else. Also I think some of his old actions are still afffecting him, such as some of the old guard still not willing to put him over. To this day he still has not beat Triple H clean in a regular match which is just disgusting.

Isn't it nice that Randy had his PR people read the forums and post for him.

I, unlike others, aprpeciate that Orton is a good worker, but calling him the best they have is like saying a tofu burger is better then prime rib. Just plain wrong.

I don't know what kind of brain damage you suffered but here's hoping they find a cure. Punk is not as good as he is hyped, or at least he isn't allowed or able to do what he did before, but he's far better in ring worker then Orton.

As for Taker, for the longest time he had to limit himself in the ring to fit the role he was playing and to match his opponents. but once he was put in the ring with guys like HBK, Bret, and HHH and other high level workers, he showed that he was equal to the task of keeping up wrestling with them. Don't think he's believable as a tough guy? remember this: Mable crushed his orbital bones and he was wrestling a few weeks later, he wrestled Mankind in HiC with a broken ankle, and in the past he's chokeslammed/tombstoned and last rided guys of every size from Zack Gowen to Mark Henry and Big Show. Yes, he's been limitted in recent years but while he's not shown the type of raw power or force, he's shown that he could hang in and wrestle with the best of them when needed.

Overated

Big Show I just cannot understand why he is still at such a high level. He bores the hell out of me and has done for years. I prefer him when he is face as the heel think is just bland and repetitive. The whole "I'm the largest athlete in the world and no-one can beat me" is done every year and it is proven that he can be beat. Surely rendering his boasts redundant.

Alberto Del Rio I like his character and think he is good in the ring but I don't find him a credible world champ. He is upper mid-card perhaps filling in when others are injured or suspended. The 6th guy in a Elimination Chamber match is his kinda level.

Underrated

Christian - good exciting move set and charismatic on the mic. I have no idea where he is gone but when he returns I hope he is given a chance without Edge and without the spear.

Cody Rhodes I know he is liked by many but being in the tag-team division is a travesty. He needs to be a single competitor and at the highest end of the company.

Kane and Daniel Bryan I find team Hell No entertaining but it isn't worthy of either. They should separate and get feuds with solid superstars and go from their. Team Hell No is about to get stale and they need to end it before it does.

Zack Ryder - Don't see what everyone else does, average in the ring and annoying as hell catchphrase! Most people seem to hate jersey shore and when wwe put a jersey shore character on tv everyone eats it up!? Don't get it, not funny either, most likely to be released soon anyway.

The Rock - Yep, I'm going there, now hear me out, this is all based on now, not 12 years ago, back then it was fresh and his character was a lot more raw and was like a funnier stone cold in the way he didn't care what anyone thought of him and used to rip the roster to shreads in his promos. Now he's very bland, and is definitely panders to the kids more than he was last year in the Cena feud. Don't get me wrong, he's a legend and he'll go down in history as one of the best but at the minute he is not entertaining me and definitely needs to go back to his character that he was back in the attitude era, don't kow what I mean, take a look at how he acted when Jericho debuted.

Sheamus - My god is he dull, just call him the Irish John Cena, his promos have no charisma at all and when he tries to be funny it just doesn't work, his in ring work is good but it's becoming like super Cena in the way he is beat down and ends up with a brogue kick out of no where and gets the win. I was very shocked when 3MB won on RAW this past Monday, turn him heel and take him back to how he was when he first debuted.

Underrated
Alberto Del Rio - I actually quite like him on the mic, little bit bland at times but since turning face I think he's improved a lot and it suits him more. Very entertaining in the ring and has a good love set, enjoying this title run at the minute, but it would make sense for Orton to turn heel, face each other at mania, Orton to win and Ziggler to cash in, that's for another thread though.

Brodus Clay - I personally hate this gimmick, at first it was funny and entertaining, I hate it now, but it does what it's meant to do, entertain the kids, he's good in the ring for a big man and this is just building up to a monster heel turn, then he will become the monster we all want to see!

Prime Time Players - This is a tag team, a real tag team, not just one thrown together i.e. kofi & ... , they are good in the ring and I think all they need is a manager, losing AW was a massive blow as made the team what it was, of they get a manager then they could be a top tag team for a god couple years, Teddy Long would be a perfect manager in my opinion.

Overrated:

I found this a lot hard to do than the underrated, but oh well here we go!

Ryback: Though I am somewhat of a fan of his, I don't think he should've been involved in the picture as soon as he was, granted though, Cena was hurt and they needed to have someone replace him, Ryback was the guy, he's done alright, but still, has a lot to improve. I'm not trying to bash him, as I said I'm a fan and hope that he can develop a bit more.

Antonio Cesaro: I know I'm going to get some heat for this, and like Ryback, it's not that I hate Cesaro... it's just, and I don't really think that the way the WWE is utilizing him is wrong, I like the way he's being used... but it's the people on the internet that are overrating him, he's good, but a lot of the people, (not saying on here), are buidling him up to be the second coming of God and well... that's just not right.

The Great Khali: Whether you see it or not, he is overrated, the WWE constantly has him on our TV and builds him up as a monster... yet Khali hasn't been credible since 2008 when he faced Triple H at Summerslam, it makes no sense to use a man that big... at all really let alone the way they are using him, in a comedy role with Hornswoggle who by the way, is an honorable mention.


Underrated:

Tyson Kidd: Should be self explanatory.

Kofi Kingston: Again, pretty self explanatory, the only thing I felt was holding him back in the past was his skills on the stick, but judging from some of the exchanges he had with The Miz a few months back, he's improved greatly. The way he's been used the past few weeks is a disgrace.

Roman Reigns: When people refer to The Shield, they always go "Ambrose, Rollins, and the other guy", but I've been very impressed with Reigns, he doesn't say much on the mic... he's more like the Batista of Evolution. And look how he turned out.

Over-Rated:

Big Show:
He is slow in the ring, given he is huge, but he is just slow. He cannot cut a promo to save his life. He is just over-rated and for him to be wearing the belt is just crap. I've never seen a decent promo by him.

The Rock:
I've only got this hatred for him since he's been back. And then gone. Anf then back again. And that's the main reason. If he wants to wrestle and compete for the title, he should be full time. He promo's are okay, he's decent in the ring. People just think he's the best beacuse he was in the attitude era. And he really isn't.

Undertaker:
Someone covered this already. It's the fact he never loses. It's stupid. I'ts built him up to be a second Hulk, where he would be 'Immortal'. The gimmick has happened before. Don't need it again, thanks.
