Who was the most over pushed wrestler in WWE history?

[Dolph'sZiggler]

To be fair he is a big draw in India so that's a possible reason for his push.

Fuck India and the camel it rode in on

 

[Asskicker]

ADR definitely

Goldberg and The Ultimate Warrior might've been overpushed hard, but in the end their overness justified it.

Khali was overpushed and he didn't even get that much of a reaction to that of Goldberg and The Ultimate Warrior, nothing justifies the hell he put us through.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

I'd say Hogan and Goldberg,

 

[Goldberg]

In my defense, I tried to execute original moves. No one really performed the jackhammer and spear wasn't that common. I acted like a monster for enthusiasm. The crowd enjoyed it, other superstars have similar characters. It may not necessarily be the monster gimmick, but everyone does have something they do to pump up the crowd and develop/show their character. As for the mic work, it was really due to my monster character, "monsters" in the WWE usually don't speak much. Sometimes more than others of course.

John Cena I hate super cena .His in ring skills are average and I dont like him on the mic
Randy Orton reasons see Cena

 

[Testify]

Most over pushed stars were Alberto Del Rio and Khali,. Reasons are listed below, I base them on 2 factors: in-ring and mic skills.

Alberto Del Rio
Ring skills:I admit, Del Rio's ring skills aren't the problem here. He has average overall prowess and pace. That turnbuckle enziguri he does is pretty cool. Usually ending in a surprise arm bar.
Mic Skills: This is the issue at hand. Put nicely, they are less than sub par. You could compare his mic work to Dolph and Vicki not too long ago, but without any underlying potential. Ricardo doing all of the work, when Del Rio did get mic time, it was boring and predictable.


The Great Khali
Ring skills: I can't stand to watch his matches because I feel bad for his opponent. Not because they are up against a monster, but because he is so clumsy and hard to work. His legs don't bend more than 75 degrees, he misses queue constantly, which creates botches galore. On top of that, hes heavy, not very maneuverable like Show, and just plain awkward.
Mic skills: I will now share a quote from Rajin Singh out of an old issue of WWE Magazine:

Interviewer: "What is it like being Khali's translator both in WWE and on the road?"
Singh: You know, whether he is speaking English or Punjabi, it sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles."

If that doesn't explain my point then all you have to do is listen to one of his... *ahem*... "promos"...

That is all.

True this. Plus Trips of course.:bury:

 

[Snowman1]

Hard not to say Lobster Head at this point.

 

[Farooq]

The Great Khali is worse, I think he was the worst over pushed guy ever. Don't see how people from India would even like him, he is slow, horrible ring worker, and shit promo maker. If he was an American in a Brazil wrestling company and exactly like that, I'd rather claim to be Cuban or another nation. Get rid of The Great Khali, Jindar Mahal is way better to me, if they are keeping Khali for the Indian fans then toss him away, Mahal is better and isn't as annoying.

 

[Dat Kid1]

Sheamus.
His ring work is average at best, his mic skills suck, but yet he's been put on raw after a short run on ecw, he's won king of the ring, triple h put him over, he's won the royal rumble, the wwe title, the world title, and he's the last guy on the opener of raw right now.

 

[Lackin]

Drew he was the chosen one

but failed massively :facepalm:

 

[Crayo]

I can actually understand why they pushed Khali so hard though, where as I really don't with Sheamus. Are they trying to appeal to the oh so massive Irish market or?

Khali - Massive massive star in India.

ADR - Trying to get those Mexican moneys.

Sheamus - Ugh, Ireland ftw?

Khali, Sheamus, ADR...

I suppose you could manipulate it as a way to gain a European market in general, probably not their intention but I can kind of understand it.

 

[Leo C]

I don't really feel like they're playing on the European/Irish market, it's just that HHH likes him and they think he can be a top face, too bad. The fact that he's Irish doesn't matter in this case imo.
