And everyone ate it up at the time. When you're out of this world over everywhere, why change? Was Austin any different? Lou thesz press, stomp a mud hole, kick, punch, stunner, repeat. Rock? Punch, kick, sharpshooter, people's elbow, Rock bottom, repeat. Don't get me started on flair for repetition even though I love him.
I think that all of us who were young kids during Hulkamanias original run have an undying affection for him, brother! :hogan:
Just because people like hogan doesn't make them morons, brother! :hogan:
i can't believe nobody voted luger yet. the guy was beyond boring. and he couldn't cut a promo to save his life.
just to reiterate i put pillman on the list just to bug people.
I'd say its a tie between the two biggest jobbers of all time: Mr. Perfect and Bret Hart.
They don't compare to true greats like the Miz.

not trying to troll or be controversial here but I was born in 86 and raised on wrestling from '90-'02 and watching WWEN has made me realize that 95% of the all time greats are massively overrated and I just didnt know any better as a kid... I wont name names for fear of chaffing the hides of marks but even some of my childhood favorites look utterly Khali-ish compared to the greats of today
Weird list. Why are Lex Luger and Jeff Jarrett even on there? You have to be adored by a massive amount of people to technically be considered "Overrated", and I don't know of any large group of people who consider either guy to be all that great at anything.
For me, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper comes to mind when I think of superstars that many people respect and admire but who I simply can't stand. I admit I've enjoyed him on occasion, but he just never did much for me overall. His ranting and raving on the mic was annoying, and I don't see how he managed to get heat with anyone. Then again, he was the most over heel at a time when kayfabe was still very much alive (and when he was up against the most popular wrestler in the world, Hulk Hogan, not to mention violating a very popular Pop star like Cyndi Lauper at the time) so it was much easier to get people to despise you back then. Still, he does little for me.

However, They Live is an amazing movie.
