Sometimes I feel these threads are completely useless because people are taking overrated to mean different things.
Some of you are discussing guys who are over payed, over pushed, over the hill ... I thought this thread would be about guys who we as fans, think are overrated by other fans. I just assumed by overrated, I was assuming it was by the IWC(Bryan Danielson is loved by the IWC, and was fired by the WWE so if you are calling him overrated ... obviously he's not held in high regard by the WWE, he's beyond underrated by them lol, so you must mean by the IWC.)
Some of you are mentioning guys who most of the IWC hates or is indifferent too, but who TNA are giving pushes too or even just a job.
I mean the thread is THE MOST OVERRATED Wrestler ... I have no clue how some of you come up with like Kevin Nash or even Kaz. And it's funny because the ones who don't like Nash want to see the young more athletic guys (which Kaz is) pushed and then others say Kaz is boring (yet, he can prolly pull off any move all you spot monkeys love.)
But neither of the guys are even main eventing TNA atm nor do they seem to have huge undying IWC followers. Kaz is playing second or third fiddle too Flair and Styles right now and is about to be in a 5 man group and Nash has a small little thing with Jarrett that also involves Sting/Hogan/Bishoff.
It's kind of hard to watch Nash go in the ring, but the guys mic work is great. He might be overpaid (who knows what he's making) but does that really make him THE MOST OVERRATED WRESTLER ON THE ROSTER? The guy has prolly been with the company as long as anyone and has quietly helped TNA out a lot. How awesome were those paparazzi productions skits?
I mean, I've never been a big Flair fan but I think he's giving some of the best promos of his career, he's helped AJ Styles get a little more pesonality, trying to help Kaz and whoever else is a member of Fortune.
But anyway, I do not think you can call guys like Hogan, Flair, Nash overrated because they've already accomplished galaxies in the wrestling realm. Their time might have passed, but as a wrestler their is no retirement pension or even health benefits, so it's not easy for them to stop. And the young guys aren't exactly making it hard for them to keep the jobs.
So I think it would be good if everyone stuck to who is loved by the IWC that you think is overrated.
I heard Desmond Wolfe ... that's a good one (even if I don't agree.)
At least he is someone that is well liked by the IWC, but is he THE MOST OVERRATED?
Too judge that, I suppose you have to look at his position in the company atm. I guess there is a lot you have to look at. Like his ability to sell, his ability to entertain. Is his wrestling style fun to watch, does he make a good heel/face?
I believe Desmond holds his own weight pretty well. I enjoy his promos and want to see more from him. Is there room for improvement? Of course. From what I've seen, he does look like he was a bit better in ROH promo/wrestling wise. Is that him or TNA though? (I think he really needs a belt and the global title really needs him ... and a new name.)
I've already said The Pope. I think he's overrated b/c TNA and the IWC all seem to think he's great.
After him I'd prolly have to say "Joe's going to kill you" Samoe Joe. I can't stand the chant and I do not understand people's obsession with him. They don't put him on the mic cause he can't talk and in the ring he's this massive blob in a pair of humongous boxers that squashes people and will prolly crush someone trying to pull off a move ment for a guy who weighs 150 lbs less then him one day.
