Most Overrated Wrestlers?

[Nick]

Since this section needs some more activity, who do you think is the most overrated wrestler in the WWE atm?

I would honestly have to go with CM Punk. As a Punk mark, it's difficult to at but it's the truth. He's worshipped like a god and people are putting him above guys like Savage, Perfect, hell, even Flair and Michaels. The dudes good and definitely a top 5 in the company guy, but he's not the greatest of all time.

Dean Ambrose

CM Punk, definitely.

I'd say Punk too. I'm a Punk mark as well and even I think he is too much overrated.

Dean Ambrose

So much this, dude's a strong speaker with ring skills which are good at a push and lacks variety in his mannerisms. Bryan's become overrated now from a character standpoint, dudes generic babyface 3.0 now yet people act like he's some demigod. Punk the same as the others and I fucking love the guy, most of the guys from the past are massively overrated also due to the nostalgic approach.

Those vanilla midgets Punk and Bryan, easily. I like both guys (only moderately, not a HUGE fan of either guy, although I used to love Punk a lot more than I do now because he's clearly lost a lot of his edge nowadays) but the way they're praised on the 'net is ridiculous. And let's be honest, in the Rock N' Wrestling Era of the 80's or in the Attitude Era of the 90's/00's, these guys would be competing for the Intercontinental Title, not in the main event. If Punk had a lot of his edge back, maybe he could be a pretty good heel to oppose the top face at some point, but he wouldn't have a 434 day title reign in those eras with guys like Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Austin, Rock and others around and would still spend the majority of his time in the midcard/upper-midcard. I appreciate the work of both guys, but them being the top two faces underneath Cena has more to do with a lack of true main event star power than it does with either guy's greatness.

Dean Ambrose is a good shout, but I'm mainly holding back opinions on him because we haven't seen what he's capable of outside of The Shield. I do get tired of people saying he's the next #1 heel of the company because I'm doubtful of that being the case but only time will tell.

In the IWC Cena is crazily underrated.

Internet Wrestling Community. Judge it as a majority of the opinions and Cena is hated by most who completely ignore his ability.

Mainly the ones who have been stated already, Punk and Ambrose are overrated. Bryan's character is overrated (and I'm a huge Bryan mark).
I find Ziggler to be a bit overrated, buts thats mainly personal opinion. I see no reason to care for him. I like Dolph, but I ain't gonna cry if I don't see him.

Outside of WWE, Aries. Same as Punk, worshipped as a demigod but being pretty one trick on the stick.

Oh, thanks

Aries and Punk are one trick ponies when it comes to promos?

They both have a variety of styles using different pacing and pitches. Calling them one trick ponies is a criminal exaggeration IMO.
