Well personally my honest opinion the most overrated wrestlers in history as far as their own hype definitely for me the most overrated is Hulk Hogan...is he the greatest wrestler of all time? No I will say he is one of the most popular in history but as far as wrestling ability I would say definitely overrated in that sense that he has like how many moves? Not to mention Hogan had creative control also known for holding other wrestlers down never mind the fact that in wrestling ability they were miles better than him but don't get me wrong I will give credit where credit is due
Hogan did have a remarkable run at the top in the 80s in the WWE and then in WCW he had a run at the top in the 90s but that is only because he had to change up his gimmick because honestly do you think the Hulkamania character could have survived in the Monday Night Wars or even in the Attitude Era?
But other wrestlers who I think are overrated as far as being a mark for their own self let's say off the top of my head definitely the COO of WWE Triple H comes to mind as well as Ric Flair, John Cena, Roman Reigns now
Austin, Rock, Taker, Foley in my opinion are wrestlers who were never overrated and who never claimed to be icons in this sport but became icons and transceneded this business

Randy Orton is he overrated? I don't know about that I would say Cena, Reigns are much more overrated than Orton is hell even Rollins is more overrated than Orton
Now Charlotte she is definitely overrated as far as women wrestlers go same goes for Natalya

Sasha Banks is by far the most overrated wrestler, botches in every match and is a jerk to fans.

Dean Ambrose is another overrated guy in my opinion

Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Roman Reigns, Enzo Amore, Big Cass, and Naomi all instantly come to mind. I'm a huge fan of Nakamura and Finn, and their matches are some of my favorites, but they're not as perfect as the IWC acts like they are and I'd consider them overrated.

On another note, I think we need a thread for underrated wrestlers too.

Dean Ambrose is well up there for me. His attire still makes it incredibly hard for me to buy into him as a credible WWE Champion, and I find his matches pretty tiring to watch. I also get the assumption that he thinks he's better than what he is.
This one may rub a few people the wrong way, but Seth Rollins gets just a little too much hype in my opinion. He's athletically great in the ring, and he's extremely amusing on the mic as a heel, but I find he's still not learnt how to suck an audience in with emotion during his matches like a Shawn Michaels or Kurt Angle would. The storytelling side of his matches needs to improve, I'm sure Triple H could well bring out the best in him and make him look a million dollars next week though.

How is Hogan overrated? Not once had Hogan or anyone ever said he was a "ring technician".

Overrated by who?
Themselves? Every wrestler ever.
Vince McMahon? Bruno, Backlund, Andre, Hogan, Warrior, Austin, Cena, Reigns, Natalya, Lesnar
The Internet? Cesaro, Owens, Rollins, Balor, Ambrose, Styles, Ziggler, Zayn, Gallows and Anderson, Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Tye Dillinger, Jericho, Bayley, Natalia, Sasha Banks

He is overrated to a degree because wrestlers of today get blasted by fans if they aren't technically perfect in the ring but back in the 80's and 90's Hogan's lack of wrestling style got ignored and people bought the whole super human stuff. What I'm trying to say is that if Hogan debut today he would've been despised by everyone but back then he was worshipped and idolised so looking back you can say that he was overrated because he got away with stuff that todays stars don't.

This thread lost all credibility when I saw Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, AJ Styles and Cesaro listed...

How is Hogan overrated? Not once had Hogan or anyone ever said he was a "ring technician". And actually, Hogan has gone on record saying that he doesn't do in the States nearly as much as he did in Japan. I've also seen videos of Hogan actually mat wrestling someone on Nitro too. So he does have technical skill. He just knows American fans eat up the big boot, leg drop, Hulk Up nonsense. I think overrated has to be defined in terms of what they actually can do, not what they actually do in the ring.
