It depends on what your looking at. Technical in ring ability, sure. Loads of wrestlers who are great in Ring are not hyped up. That's because they lack in other areas of wrestling. Being a great wrestler isn't about how good your Irish whip is.
Jimmy Jacobs was/is a good example of what I'm talking about. Great promos, great in the ring, could pop a crowd huge, has travelled the world in basically all the major promotions besides WWE (as a wrestler at least) and is often talked about, but I feel like he's never actually given the proper credit for the work he does. Again, it is definitely still subjective. But my point is mostly that too many people say a wrestler is overrated when really they mean they think they suck

I think expressing not liking a commonly beloved wrestler with the word 'overrated' is the right thing to do. I think the word has such negative connotations that calling a great wrestler that doesnt live up to the hype 'overrated' is the wrong way of communicating it. Even though it makes sense. The word has just undergone neology. Very subjective. A soggy napkin of a word. Very subjective. A soggy napkin of a word.

We can agree to disagree on this one, because while I see and understand exactly what you're saying, and i do believe your points are valid ones, I guess I'm still a little too old school when it comes to terminology such as this.

Deffinitly. The word overrated has been ruined. It's now just as another way of saying they don't like a popular person. Can still be used the way it once was tho.

Nah...

This isn't an opinion thread. It was just me letting you know.

It's not subjective... it's a job based on your skills or lack there of. Just like if there is a Doctor without the right skills & hurting people he is bad at his job & that's not an opinion.

These men are not as good at their job as people say they are, people who also know very little about it. That's why I correctly used the term 'overrated' and I'm right

So that is all... just wanted to let you know guys that's it.

Contrary to the popular belief of generation snowflake not everything is a feeling or opinion.

It's not my opinion that 2+2=4 because I feel that is the best method to do mathematics. It IS 4! ...The other ways are wrong.

2+2=4 and Ricochet can do a somersault yippie yay my nipples are hard

Ricochet is a bit flippy flippy and weak at promos

Gargano might be one of the best in ring psychology experts in WWE atm. Ciampa is the best heel.

All of that is true.... he's flippy flippy alright lol. That's all he does.

This guy's specialty is 2 things... being a guy with tattoos who has lightning in his name & doing flips

Even the things he's hailed for he isn't the best at SEE; Ospreay

"Riccochet? What is that? Isn't he the best wrestler ever they say? Oh wait what's that?? He's just some dick with a tan who's not even Will Ospreay though?"

Are you saying I suck? Sorry I'm not American. I find it hard to identify weak ass insults.
