Let's start out by eviscerating these morons.
The Moron's in Reference said:
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.
Which should in no way be weighed against how talented a wrestler he was. If they took this into consideration, then why isn't Shawn Michaels on the top of that list?
Folks these days like to say that The King of Kings makes people into stars, but wrestlers tend to either succeed despite the terrible, emasculating beatings he gives them or just disappear back into the midcard.
Welcome to wrestling pushes, dumb asses. Just working with a star of Triple H's caliber is going to give you a huge rub whether or not you go over him. From there it's up to the audience to accept or reject a wrestler. If they accept they "succeed despite the terrible, emasculating beatings," or they reject and "disappear back into the midcard." Show me one wrestler who has a 100% success rate of rubbing and putting over newer wrestlers, just one. Good look finding him.
Whats worse is that he does it all with the same four boring, mechanical moves
Not true, he's got a fairly diverse moveset, or at least diverse enough to keep his matches interesting.
a fact which goes strangely unnoticed by the worlds Cena-bashers, who tend to love The Game.
Also not true, I notice a lot of Cena haters also hate The Game for similar reasons.
If Triple H was as great as people say he is, the past 13 years of constant pushes shouldnt have just turned him into another Rock or Stone Cold, it should have gotten him elected King of the Universe.
He isn't another Rock or Stone Cold, he's Triple H, he has very much become his own man, his own character, and he's carved out his own legacy.
As for the list, I couldn't list the top 25 overrated of all time because I simply don't know how these wrestlers were judged for most of their careers. But here's the ones I have a problem with being on the list.
Diesel- He's been extremely gifted throughout his career, one of those big guys who not only looks like he COULD kill you with his strength, he looks like he WOULD kill you. Unlike the Big Show or similar wrestlers who have something cuddly about them, you see nothing but power when looking at Big Daddy Cool.
Arn Anderson- He's a little before my time, but anytime a man has managed to stay relevant through the years like he has you can't say he's overrated.
Alberto Del Rio- I'm personally not a huge fan of the guy, but you can't argue with the reaction he's been getting lately. Furthermore, I believe he was mega-over in Mexico, and he's been in the US for less than a year. It's way too early to put him on any all time list.
Jerry Lynn- I know almost nothing about Jerry Lynn because I've never been exposed to his wrestling. But the fact that I know his name and the fact that he's a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion and that he had one of the most epic feuds in ECW history with Rob Van Dam should be proof enough that this man is NOT overrated. Nobody is saying he's one of the all time greats, but he did a great job in ECW.
Shelton Benjamin- I have no issue with him being on the list, but these assholes strike me as the type of people who would complain about how underrated and under-appreciated he is. They make me sick to my stomach.
Christopher Daniels- Once again, is anyone saying Daniels is the best little guy in the history of wrestling? Is anyone saying he's in the top 5, or even top 10? Daniels is a fantastic wrestler, but he is what he is, and nobody is going to say he's better than Guerrero or Benoit or even Rey Mysterio.
Finlay- He worked his ass off for wrestling his entire life, trained many of the stars we see today, he's held numerous titles and had some pretty entertaining feuds, and nobody is really singing his praises from the top of a skyscraper. In order to be overrated, people have to overrate you.
William Regal- Regal is a fantastic wrestler and a tremendous talent outside the ring as well. Rarely do you find someone who can maintain this hard-ass attitude and still be so fucking funny. And, once again, he's trained many of the stars of today. AND nobody is saying he's one of the best ever. Nobody is overrating him, he shouldn't be on this list.
Gorgeous George- The man who invented the modern gimmick is overrated? How can one be overrated if their impact on wrestling is still being felt to this day?
Dean Malenko- Nobody would ever say he is or ever was better than some of his counterparts, and he wasn't the most amazing wrestling personality of all time (though he was apparently a really fun guy backstage), but he could put on one hell of a match.
Owen Hart- Could have been bigger than Bret.
Christian- He's fantastic in the ring, he's a riot on the mic, and he and Edge will forever be remembered as one of the best tag teams the WWE ever produced.
Curt Hennig- Possibly one of the best ever in the ring, and that's the truth. He also had a fantastic character.
Miss Elizabeth- How is Miss Elizabeth overrated? She was hot, that's what she was.
Jerry the King Lawler- This pisses me off. He can work a good match to this day! He's a territory legend, and is hailed as some sort of deity in Memphis.
Hulk Hogan- He made wrestling what it is today, and that's a fact.
Triple H- We covered this.
They're just fucking morons. Wrestling websites should make sure their writers have an IQ that is three figures before giving them an article to spread their filth.
