I am really suprised that no one has mentioned VKM. I mean you talk about stale. They have been stale now for years. Itd a shame that they continued to get used ever PPV.

How is Tyson Tomko overrated? I think some of you are forgetting the meaning of the term "overrated"

Overrate-To assess or think too highly of something or someone; to overestimate it or them.

IMO Tyson Tomko does not fall into this category. TNA may be pushing him to ME status, but I have never seen or heard anyone talk highly of Tomko. We all know he isn't a very talented worker. Over-used yes, Overrated...no.

Tomko isn't overrated, he may be in the ME scene but we all know he has no talent.

I would say Christian Cage is the most overrated wrestler in TNA. Everyone seems to think WWE was holding him back, but I believe that is not the case. Personality wise, Christian is probably one of the best in professional wrestling. My problem is with his wrestling skills, he hasn't improved since joining TNA and is only as good as his opponent. His best match came against Samoa Joe, and it's not an accident. Joe carried the entire match. Until Christian proves he can carry a decent match with the likes of Rhino, Abyss, and countless others, he will always be overrated in my opinion.

I guess I just dont see how you can call Cage overrated. Of course he isnt the most athletic guy in TNA like a Styles, but hes not that bad. He has a midlevel moveset. His mic skills are some of the best in the industry. he has a shitload of charisma.

I guess I dont see how you can say that Joe carried thier match either. He provided that classic heel persona. Its not like hes gunna go out there and be like a Styles and jump clear across the ring.....lol. He is the classic heel, and he proved it in the match by low-blows, pulling the ref in front of himself, and holding the ropes to get the pin. I would love for you to elaborate more on that

Christian is definitely one of the best heel persona's in Wrestling at the moment, hell he's arguably the best heel in wrestling however, his wrestling skills are below average. Fact, Christian Cage is only as good as his opponent. I'm sure there isn't anyone here who would argue otherwise. Christian is at his best when he is facing that best, which was evident in his match with Samoa Joe. Can you name one "Great" traditional match Christian has been involved in during his stint in TNA (besides Joe)? Christian is a mid-card talent with a main event persona. Truth be told, Based on his wrestling ability alone, he is quite frankly one of the worst on TNA's roster. Remember this is all one mans opinion.

Angle-He's that kind of love me or hate me guy.Which is good.But he's in the main event to much when he dont deserve that while guys should be in the main event.

Petey Willaims - He isn't that good of a wrestler and is basically a one move guy. The Canadain Destroyer is all that he's known for.

I mean 1- Tomko is not overated: Tomko has great matches, just caz he gets mainevents doesent mean hes overrated, yeah, some of his matches he doesent deliver in but hes still good.

Chris Harris is overated and doesent deserve the push, IMO opinion they should be pusing Robert Roode or James Storm

Angle/Cage?.......Cage/Jarrett?.....The Rhino matches weren't really "Traditional" matches, but they were still damn good. And dont even tell me that Rhino carried those matches, b/c thats just a joke. Anyway, I guess Im still confused about how you can say this. I know you prolly think Im being biased, but Im not. Ya see, like I said, just b/c he isnt the fastest guy, or the most atheltic, doesnt mean hes a bad wrestler. Can you give me examples of how hes a "below average" wrestler, and not just saying that someone carreid the match, b/c thats not proving anything.

Samoa Fucking Joe. I mean this guy isn't everything. He is just like CM Punk over in dream world over there. Here are guys with all this indy hype, then they get to the big stage and choke, they are not living up to the hype at all. Joe has horrible mic skills and his is getting ring rust, he isn't that great as he used to be. Ever since Angle came in, he really put a cloud out doing Joe at every turn, I just went sour on Joe for maybe the past 3-4 months now, sorry to all the Joe fans.

team 3d hugely overrated, they are really stale and i really don't see whats so special about them.
and joe is a hell of a lot better than styles on the mic, matter a fact he is better than most of the TNA roster when it comes to mic work.

Ok I will admit that team 3D are pretty washed up but when you ask what so special about them well they have won like 20 tag team titles(wcw,wwe,ecw and TNA) and how is Samoa Joe better when he says the same thing all the time.

Christian vs Angle just plays into my argument, Christian is only as good as his opponent. Cage vs Jarrett was nothing special, and none of the Rhino vs Christian matches were good, with the exception of the 8 Mile Street Fight, which wasn't exactly a traditional wrestling match. You say he isn't the most athletic/fast wrestler, but athleticism and agility isn't what makes a great wrestler, Just take a look at Finlay, Regal, Alex Shelley, etc. The fact of the matter is this, Christian Cage lacks in every single department besides personality/charisma. I have not seen Christian put on a decent show lately, theres only so much striking and scoop slams a guy can do before it gets repetitive...I almost forgot, he throws a spot in there every once in a while (usually a frog splash). I can name a countless number of guys on TNA's roster who are far more talented than Christian Cage, and I'm sure you'd agree with me.

^I would agree with about 10 guys, not many more. The Cage/Rhino Cage match was amazing as well just to add that:)

Finlay is not a better wrestler than Cage. Im sorry, some may not agree, but I do. I havent seen Finlay do much of anything, maybe thats b/c hes a heel like Cage, but still, I havent really seen him in the past look that great.

Anyway, I will name the 10 guys who are better wrestlers than Reso.

1. AJ Styles
2. Samoa Joe
3. Christopher Daniels
4. Sabin
5. Angle
6. Shelly
7. Homocide :)
8. Kaz
9. Petey Williams
10. Senshi

i realize that they have won a ton of tag belts but other than that you have to go back to the early 2000's to see something decent from them. back then i would have said there special and quite frankly better than most tag teams out there, but now they are just like VKM and for the sakes of there legacy should hang up the boots like now.

joe doesnt say the exact same thing always, it could be close... but most wrestlers have things that they say a lot.
