This is gonna be fun.
I like this thread ever time someone posts it (yes, it's been done a billion times before) mainly because I come up with new guys to add to the list every time.
Matt Hardy
Come on, now. What else needs to be said? I know that this guy, somehow, has a cult following of brainwashed, pre-teen, bed-wetting fans that swear he should be a world champion. But every time I ask them for a real, valid reason as to why Matt deserves the title, the only answer I get is "Because he WILL...NOT...DIE." Oh, shut the fuck up already!!! The guy is sub-par on the microphone, his physique has severely diminished over the years, and he just isn't able to make the audience believe that he is a formidable champion. Just a borefest, all-around.
Jeff Hardy
How can I list one brother without the other? I mean, come on now. What the fuck is the appeal with this guy? Whenever he won a world title, I sat in my living room scratching my head. He's a glorified spot-monkey who's still grasping and hanging onto the coat-tails of his glory days from the Attitude Era. Yes, Jeff Hardy has done some sick stunts for our entertainment. But how does that make him someone who deserves to carry the torch of the largest pro-wrestling company in the world? The guy has some of the most immature mic skills I've ever heard, is very sloppy in the ring, and is the poster-child for everything that pro-wrestling fans should NOT aspire to be... a drug-using, out of shape, irresponsible flash-in-the-pan.
Hernandez
Sorry TNA fans, but holy FUCK does this guy suck balls. Yes, he's a big man with great agility. But I've never seen a man so awkward in front of a crowd from a personality standpoint. From his ridiculous entrance to his atrocious mic-skills, this guy should be nothing but backup muscle for another mouthpiece. That is the only way he'd deserve to hold onto a world title. If this guy was booked like Brock Lesnar originally, he'd be impressive. But allowing someone like him to try and pave his own way is just the biggest mistake ever.
Shelton Benjamin
First of all, I will never take away from this man's in-ring skill. Seriously, I think he's one of the most polished in-ring wrestlers of the past decade. His moves are smooth as silk and the guy is a decent storyteller. But for 75% of the IWC to believe that he should wear a title belt is such a travesty. Don't you guys realize that it takes a lot more than good ring skills to be a world champion? Shelton has improved on the mic but is still WAYYY behind the eight ball. So why should he represent and carry the torch of pro-wrestling when he can't even connect with the crowd he's performing for? Use your heads, people.
Rhino
Ugh... this guy blows so fucking bad. This man looks mean and tough, but has also amounted to the grand total of NOTHING in the world of pro-wrestling. Yes, he was a God in ECW, but that shit was 15 years ago. Where's the appeal now? This is a guy who's only way of getting over was to have play-by-play announcers shouting out his finishing maneuver whenever it was sloppily executed. (Nothing annoys me more than when play-by-play announcers try and hype up a wrestler's move when they constantly fuck it up. Hell, Rhino would barely touch an opponent when he performed the Gore.) If it weren't for Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler, and Jim Ross, Rhino would be an absolute NOTHING in pro-wrestling.
Mick Foley
Yes, I said it. And if you don't agree with me, I could give two squirts of piss. As far as I'm concerned, this man is the complete opposite of Shelton Benjamin. He's a man that has tremendous mic skills, personality, and crowd-connection but is just god-awful inside of a wrestling ring... and outside. I'm one of the many fans who believes that Mick Foley was nothing more than a "glorified stuntman", as Ric Flair so eloquently stated in his book. Without the body-massacring, self-mutilating, death-defying style that Mick Foley has given to us in his glory days, what the hell would he have been? Try and answer that question before praising him...
Sabu
Another fucking joke of pro-wrestling. Here is another guy who's idea of entertainment is to flip into metal guardrails, mutilate himself, and do flips and moves that endanger his opponents. If you guys think this is "wrestling" then we're all better off if you would just stop watching. Plus, have any of you ever heard this guy talk on the microphone? Holy SHIT does he suck balls.
Rey Mysterio
Over-Rey-ted. Sure, I stole that phrase from IrishCanadian25, but he couldn't be more dead-on. Here is a guy that's 5-foot nothing, one-hundred and nothing, and is supposed to be hanging with men like Kane, the Big Show, John Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, the Undertaker, and other world-champion likenesses in the ring. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? Not only are his moves weak-looking, but his finisher is one of the most overrated finishers in all of professional wrestling... possibly it's history. The 619 is a joke of a move and the setup for it has been old for years. I mean, if you were wrestling in a match with Rey and he tripped you onto the second rope, wouldn't you either get up or move out of the way? Yup, that's what I thought. If it weren't for the fact that he sells tons of Mysterio-masks to the fans, he would never wear a world title strap.
...and the award for the MOST OVERRATED PRO-WRESTLING goes to... (drumroll, please...)
Rob Van Dam
I've said it a million times before and I'll say it again... this guy just doesn't live up to his hype... not by a longshot. Can he wrestle? Sure. But what else does he have? He smokes weed and is proud of it. Yay. He can use chairs and flips off the ropes really well. Great. And he has the 19th version of Snuka's "Superfly" as his finisher. Whoopie. The guy has little to zero mic skills, zero emotion, no passion, and severely lacks charisma. His catchy thumb-point is the extent of his personality, and while catchy, it doesn't make up for everything else that he lacks in wrestling. Wake up, people... RVD is not nearly as good as you think he is. Sorry.
