Who Is the Most Overrated Wrestler in the WWE

[He who knows more than Nation]

This has probably been the best group discussion thread I've seen on here in at least 3 months. If I could, I'd rep everyone. So everyone, give yourselves pats on the back, Barry Horrowitz style.

 

[G 3]

His ring skills are limited how? Because he doesn't do 1000 moves? Cena has had great matches with guys ranging from Shawn Michaels to Triple H to Bobby Lashley to The Great Khali. Now, maybe it's just me, but I can't help but feel that those guys are all different types of workers, and yet here Cena is pulling some of the best matches they've ever had (or in Khali/Lashley's case, by far the best match they've ever had). Does that tell you someone is limited? Or does that tell you that the guy is talented, because for me, it's the latter. In fact, Cena is so good that there is only one person in the current WWE who I would say is better in the ring.

Who is 'infinitely' better than Cena on the mic? Chris Jericho?

Now, onto the supposed topic of this thread. I'll go with Kurt Angle. The guy actually has a lack of versatility, as shown by the fact that he wrestles the same type of match against every single guy he faces, whether it be Abyss or AJ Styles. Not even the best wrestler in TNA, let alone the best in the world.

I have not read a post in my life that has been filled with such garbage. Do you know what wrestling is? He has not had a good match with Triple H, Lashley, and if any people The Great Khali. Wrestlemania 22 mainevent, Cena VS Triple H, simply horrible match. The next year, Cena vs Shawn Michaels, decent match though Shawn had to carry Cena. The highlight of that match was the fan that ran into the ring.

Now about the microphone, you were correct on your first try. Jericho is loads better than John Cena on the microphone.

Now for the best part, bringing up Kurt Angle. Angle is definitely one of the best wrestlers in the world, and to claim that Angle wrestles the same match every time, while trying to defend John Cena, the man of 5 holds, is quite hilarious.

I don't hate John Cena. You can't blame him for his terrible character. You also can not call John Cena over rated because no one claims he is the best at wrestling, but you can definitely not say John Cena is the second best wrestler of WWE.

But back on topic, the most over rated guy in WWE, would be Edge. He doesn't really offer anything exciting. It is amazing how he worked his way past top mid card.

It's nothing to do with how many hold he uses, or what his moves are. It's how well he sells moves, how well he completes them and how fantastic he is and creating a story in a wrestling match and not just a 5 minute spotfest a la TNA.

 

[Kizza]

5 moves argument is boring. Cena has more than 5 moves.

 

[MizMasta3000]

It's how well he sells moves

He can't do that either

 

[Beer]

Sure he can. He's not the best, but he's good enough.

 

[kingovkings]

Nah i gotta agree. Cena cant sell for shit he really is pretty crap at selling when in fact he does actually try and sell that is.

 

[Kizza]

Pretty sure most of the WWE roster can't sell for shit.

 

[seX-Power]

They should get selling lessons from Mike Knox.

I find it HILARIOUS how you ask if I know what wrestling is, then use the argument that Cena has five moves. Oh man, straight away, I just KNOW you know what you're talking about.

How were any of those matches rubbish, especially the WrestleMania 22 one which was awesome? They went out there with a simple psychology that Triple H was a better wrestler, but Cena overcame him and proved himself to be the better wrestler by making Tripper tap out. Good story, and the action throughout was good.

Great American Bash match w/Lashley was Lashley's best match in the WWE by far, and again, was a very enjoyable match. The same goes for the match w/Khali, and by quite some distance.

Shawn had to carry Cena? Ridiculous statement. Considering Cena had match after match in 2007 that was quality, I find it hard to believe that he got carried. But hey, if you're right and if I'm an idiot (again, lmao @ five wrestling moves argument), tell me how Shawn carried Cena. I dare you.

Jericho is far from as good as a lot of people seem to think he is on the microphone. Tries to cram too many points into one small time (especially as a face). He's btter as a heel, but I'd still take Cena who can cut a great promo as both a heel or a face any day of the week.

Ummm, Cena doesn't wrestle the same match every time. Sure, he has his WWE formula, but he uses much better psychology than Angle, like in his match against Tripper that I mentioned before. What psychology does Angle go out there with? It has NOTHING to do with your amount of moves (again, lmao @ five moves), but HOW you use them to form a logical match. It seems you don't understand that. But hey, I'm the one who doesn't get wrestling, not you.

Can and did. And he is.

lmao @ five moves argument.

edit - selling is his one major weakness, but the above arguments are still Blue. lmao @ five moves.

 

[Beer]

See, I don't think he is that fucking awful at selling. It's definitely not a strong point, prolly his weakest, but I've never seen anything in particular that has made me cringe it's so bad.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Pretty sure most of the WWE roster can't sell for shit.

Rey
Jericho
Edge

Those are the absolute best, now that HBK is done, Rey is an absolute champ at making people look good. Edge can bump like a motherfucker too.

Rey

Orton is better than all those guys in that department.

Edit: On second though, maybe not Rey, Rey is pretty damn good at making a beat down look credible.

 

[OrtonMark54]

Nah i gotta agree. Cena cant sell for shit he really is pretty crap at selling when in fact he does actually try and sell that is.

Cena's short term selling is among the best in the WWE.

The reason he doesn't sell long term isn't that he can't, its because he's not supposed to. It's just the way the match is booked. He supposed to make a comeback and stand tall in the middle of the ring after the match.

 

[MizMasta3000]

Well he can at least hold the back of his head when the match is over...is that too much to ask here?
