Just as the title implies. Who do you think the internet generally over rates and under rates??

Hardcore over rated: HHH, Christian, Jeff Jarrett in any capacity, most indy wrestlers (esp. Jimmy Jacobs,Nigel, and all the Jack Evans clones) TNA (there is nothing good about anything they do) Bret Hart all day

Somewhat over rated: Rey Misterio, Kofi, Evan Bourne, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton

Under rated: John Cena (trendy haters know nothin) Umaga, Jack Swagger, El Generico, Kevin Steen, Curt Hennig, Doug Summers, Rick Martel, Scott Stiener, Giant Bernard and Tomko (man TNA really fucked his boat up). Hernandez.

I disagree with HHH being overrated. If anything, he's underrated, as the net seems to ignore the fact that he's actually quite talented, over and with amazing mic skills and think the only reason he gets most of the title feuds going into WM and his title reigns because he married a McMahon

The most over-rated thing on the net is the SMARKS.

(This thread will deteriorate into who do/don't you like within a few posts.)




...and yeah, HHH is over-HATED, not over-rated.

I think Trips NOW is over rated. From 1999-2002 and 2004-mid 06 he was awesome. Now he seems to have been wayyy overexposed. He's done everything possible in the company in every form of heel and face possible. He's been a snobby, degenerate, better than you, and a monster heel. He's been a cool, anti-establishment, too old to act young and now a fan sympathy garnering face. There really is no way to go with his character. I think he has done all he can to help the company for now, besides putting people over (which he did for a 6 month stint from 07-08) and I think he should just go away for awhile. He isn't a draw, the numbers never jump wherever he goes, and his matches, IMO, haven't been so great in the past year and a half. He squashes Edge, loses title to Edge, wins title back from Edge (in a way) and now it's full circle again with RKO. He's been in a big circle ever since he came back. It's boring. It's old. He's not as great as people make him out to be. The net over rates the guy to me. And if your calling him under rated you must not be watching. Jericho is grossly underrated compared to Trips. And trust me, ALL the trendy Hunter hate is now all on John Cena, believe that.

Where's the Jack Swagger bandwagon?? I wants on. He is the only talented guy WWE has brought up from development in awhile, Evan Bourne doesn't count since he's a seasoned indy guy.

Randy Orton is somewhat overrated? He's TOTALLY OVERRATED!!

So is John Morrison. The dude is ok, but a lot of people say he's the next HBK. Those people are idiots.

John Morrison is alrwady GOD.

As for the thread-maker saying Jimmy Jacobs is overrated, I'll just call insanity and leave it at that.

Hernandez is shit, btw. The only reason LAX is any good is because 'Cide is an amazing wrestler. Hernandez has cool moves and size, but that's really it.

THANK GOD i'm not only one who doesn't think John Morrison isn't the greatest thing ever. Orton as well.

Anyway, Overrated = Trips (seriously, all I hear is how everyone hates him, except that there are 12 fans to 3 or 4 people that have anything bad to say about him then everyone who likes him says, "You only hate him because he's married to Steph, you smark!!!" He's okay, but the amount of love he gets is pretty ridiculous for someone who is supposedly "hated". DH Smith is pretty overrated, along with Nigel, and Jeff Hardy but other than those, can't think of much.

Under-rated = Kenny Dykstra, Chris Sabin, Jimmy Jacobs, Kennedy, Chavo, Brutus Magnus, Kozlov, Punk, Matt Hardy, Primo, Hawkins and Ryder, Teddy Hart are a few.

Teddy Hart

I can do a standing backflip. Am I underrated? Or do I also have to jump off the top of a cage continiously?

This is what i'm talking about with him. Way WAY underrated. He's not Jack Evans where all he can do is flip, Teddy can work a decent match, his problem is he's too crazy for that 98% of the time and has to be a daredevil all the time.

That's his fault for not showing what he supposedly can do.

Yeah it's his fault, but he still gets piled on too much, I said he was underrated not a particularly great wrestler or even one of my favorites. But i've never seen him get ANY respect. Teddy should talk to Mistico more. >_>

The reason is, most of Triple H's hate is unwarranted and people just use him as a scapegoat to bash the WWE.

Anyway, Morrison is kind of overrated. Saying he's the next HBK is a very big stretch, but there are certainly similarities to the Shawn Michaels of the early 90s.

Overrated -Motor City Machine Guns (they are not the greatest tag team ever) Bryan Danielson (great, but not the 'best in the world'), Mr. Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin (somewhat, he's been improving and the man boy love has been dropping), Randy Orton before his return

Underrated - Carlito & Primo as a team and individually, JBL
