Top 25 most overrated wrestlers of all-time

[PHX]

UGO.com has posted a list counting down the top 25 most overrated wrestlers of all-time. The ranking is topped by 13-time world champion Triple H, who was named Most Overrated in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards on three consecutive occasions (2002-2004), and again in 2009.

Regarding the self-proclaimed "King of Kings", UGO.com wrote: "For too long, Triple H has received a free pass from internet wrestling fans, but we say, "No more!" Sure, he used to be great, but that was before he destroyed his body and moved on to destroying the careers of younger wrestlers. Folks these days like to say that "The King of Kings" makes people into stars, but wrestlers tend to either succeed despite the terrible, emasculating beatings he gives them or just disappear back into the midcard. What's worse is that he does it all with the same four boring, mechanical moves - a fact which goes strangely unnoticed by the world's Cena-bashers, who tend to love "The Game." If Triple H was as great as people say he is, the past 13 years of constant pushes shouldn't have just turned him into another Rock or "Stone Cold," it should have gotten him elected King of the Universe.

"And The Chaperone looks atrocious."

The complete ranking is as follows:

25. Diesel
24. Arn Anderson
23. Alberto Del Rio
22. Jerry Lynn
21. Shelton Benjamin
20. Verne Gagne
19. Jeff Jarrett
18. Sabu
17. Finlay
16. Christopher Daniels
15. Mr. Anderson
14. William Regal
13. Indy Geeks (Mike Quackenbush pictured)
12. Randy Orton
11. Gorgeous George
10. Scott Hall
9. Dean Malenko
8. Owen Hart
7. Christian
6. Curt Hennig
5. Miss Elizabeth
4. Jerry "The King" Lawler
3. Giant Baba
2. Hulk Hogan
1. Triple H

Last I checked I never recall HHH ever getting a pass from net fans. Totally don't get why Del Rio is on that list.

If HHH is in the list nevermind the top of it, where's Edge ?

10. Scott Hall
8. Owen Hart
7. Christian
6. Curt Hennig
4. Jerry "The King" Lawler

Also @ Sycho Sid and Ultimate Warrior not being listed here. Believe it or not both are highly overrated by many people. While many of those people may not be on the net they are still out there.

And how is ADR overrated when he's been with the company for half a year or something.

 

[PHX]

This seems like this is based on the internet fans so why Hogan is on this list is beyond me since you won't find many who will overrate him.

 

[Football & Wrestling]

He's probably on the list because many people think that his talent doesn't equate for the success he's had, something I disagree with.

 

[AF.]

I agree with some of this list. Not completely outrageous.

So glad they didn't put Cena on this list. If they did I would have been shocked. He's the last guy to put on any overrated list.

Seems very internet based, though. I'd say Orton should be on there somewhere.

EDIT: He is. Good.

 

[The Yeah1993]

I'd say some of the guys they mentioned are overrated but there's guys that should be in the top 25 underappreciated listed.

 

[Kizza]

who rates sabu?

 

[Rush]

Watch some ECW clips on youtube, everyone believes the Sabu hype and they're all like "d00d, I wish Sabu, RVD and whatever had a threeway."

 

[Dale]

tbh, UGO have done several of these Top blah blah columns and they're all generally awful, so i'd take what the writer says with a massive pinch of salt.

 

[SAL]

#13 being "Indy geeks" is where this list goes beyond being bad.

 

[SAIYANS]

These guys also have most of them on the best wrestlers of all time list on their site.

 

[PHX]

So they are overrating them themselves then in that case :

 

[Dante Cross]

This list has no more credibility than any other lis if we made em.
