Of all the wrestlers on the current active roster who are "over" in the sense that they are very popular with the fans/crowds, which are some that don't make sense to you? What I mean by this is that you fail to understand why or even how said wrestler is like as much as they are.

There is no right or wrong answer to this. This is just a matter of personal opinions and general views of the shows and wrestlers.

Is it really a surprise for me to say this? Sasha Banks. She's a talentless hack who either has a boring match or a botch filled match. She has a dumb look, she has a dumb gimmick, she has a dumb nickname, but noooo, she had like, three good matches in NXT, so she's the greatest ever. I will confidently say she's the worst of the four horse women.

And don't even get me started on how she was a waste of the first ever women's Hell in a Cell with her shitty neck selling in the beginning and botched table finish! I could rant on that shit forever!

Daniel Bryan.
I'm not the biggest fan of Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, but I can understand why they're popular. At the time, they were practically the only bright lights on very dark periods in WWE, and now that WWE as a whole is brighter, that popularity carried over. I missed those periods, so that bright light mentality is completely lost on me

I don't think Sasha is nearly as well like as she used to be but when she was really liked, I never understood why.
I actually said the same thing about Char and ended up really liking her so I guess minds can change but mine has never changed about Sasha.

2017 did wonders for Charlotte, she fixed her bad parts and made her good parts great. Sasha has just kinda stayed the same, possibly even gotten slightly worse in some areas

Honestly, Rusev. I'll always sort of liked him but I just don't get why "Rusev Day" is such a popular gimmick.

Daniel Bryan.

I'd be immature and counter with Roman Reigns but that would just be silly. I mean, we know he's not popular.
Just messing with you... this popped in my head and I had to say it. :emoji_slight_smile: I actually can understand why Bryan doesn't appeal to you

Oh and obviously Randy Orton. Never, ever, have I understood what people see in him. He really isn't that great of a wrestler, he doesn't sell his opponents better than your average wrestler. His matches are more routine than most other wrestlers. That DDT from the second rope is stupid. I can't take him seriously as a voice hearing psychopath because I know in reality, he is a spoiled, egomaniacal brat who is entitled due to his lineage. When he was the Legend Killer, that gimmick made more sense because it played into what he seems to be like in real life, an entitled brat.

But if I had to pick the most overrated wrestler of the past decade, I would pick him over anyone, including Roman Reigns. I may not like Roman but he's not nearly as boring as Orton.

Sasha Banks is an easy one, but her popularity has diminished this past year. She doesn't even put on great matches much anymore. That was her main appeal, right?

Finn Balor.. All he really does is smile.

Nakamura as a babyface, although I am becoming a fan of his heel work.

Rusev.. What the fuck?

Sasha: Her heel work in NXT probably got her over.

Finn Balor: Was better booked in NXT, had his demon ego and still showed personality as himself, and even before then was one of the best Jr Heavyweights in history in New Japan and that was even before forming Bullet Club.

Nakamura: hIs NJPW history and solid NXT run helped him, although his heel turn is perfect for him now.

Rusev: Very underrated worker and a charming big man who is athletic and funny
