Christian is so underrated that he doesn't get mentioned in a list of most underrated wrestlers, lol.

[@tractorfan7655]

Captain no charisma, unless Edge is around.

[@OmegaRainbow]

rofl XD

[@SlikTF]

The problem was never his charisma, it was his character. When you're being forced to be the heel in your feud with Orton where you were getting cheers, well, did he even have a chance?

[@DaRozeman]

Let's not forget that it was Edge and Christian that INVENTED the ladder match. The very foundation of the TLC matches that led to PPVs such as Money in the Bank, and others.

[@franv342]

+DaRozeman The first ladder match was in the 70's, and then HBK made it better in the 90's. Then they came along....

[@wowdogememe1541]

you made me happy with your cena rant

[@bayday5]

William Regal is such a great choice for #1.

[@fredtheoncomingstorm8797]

Cole Klima word. He was never a favorite of mine but he was a tough sob and you knew if he was in a match, it would be a good one anyways.

[@jokerjack2913]

Totally agree, Cole. He's one of my favorites. Look up Regal vs Benoit from the Brian Pillman memorial show. Enjoy

[@ggamesgarner8027]

Cole Klima yeah he was super underrated it’s to bad his push got cancelled because of drugs

[@jokerjack2913]

Yeah, that got him fired from WCW. He had a better push in WWE after he got clean.

[@DYLANJJK94]

Yeap instead thwy picked famous wrestlers of their era because some may not know him now bc no one ever really looks at pro wrestling history, Though they all were almost always overshadowed in their company by Hulk, The most over rated wrestler and then for Cena who is paid 10.5 mill a year and is known by everyone and hatesme by even no wrestling fans, A man who gets some reaction from the crowd, Ishe really underrated ? Lol

[@zionnewkirk4838]

Jake Robert's promos are some of the creepiest and most surreal I've ever seen.

[@michaelgregg6877]

The Enforcer Arn Anderson is a fucking Legend. His Promos were fucking intense. and thst spine buster is only rivaled by Ron Simmons.

[@blitzofchaos9518]

Too bad he isn't enough of a legend for you to learn his name.

[@michaelgregg6877]

Ah it was the fucking auto correct on my phone. 😂😂 Thanks

[@gadget00]

maybe his problem was that he looked too "normal", at least in comparison with the flamboyant Ric Flair and his mini-me Tully Blanchard. Even JJ Dillon had this Dallas JR 'evil tycoon' personna. Arn had very intense promos and according to Dillon he even INVENTED the 4 horsemen thing out of his head doing a promo. His intense "quiet but crazy bodyguard" character may have been overlooked because he looked too "normal", in comparison to the rest.

[@greglarson3048]

Ron Simmons should be on this list too. Also his Dominator is still one of my favorite finishers. Just gonna pretend his name was never Faarooq...

[@Savage-dx3qv]

Tully is NO mini me! Tully is the second greatest wrestler of all time! After Macho Man. You saying that tells me that you HAVE to be under 26 years old. Tully is THE most underrated ever!!!!!!!

[@THATGUY-ir4ie]

WHAT ABOUT DEAN MALENKO?!!

[@blitzofchaos9518]

I brought up the same point before I got to your comment. My guess is he is so under rated Adam Pacitti doesn't even know who he is.

[@THATGUY-ir4ie]

Jay Carter WOW!

[@de132]

+Jay Carter, lol how does any Wrestling fan not know Malenko? How preposterous

[@boyanpenev9822]

Great worker, but I think he was not that good on the mic. Lance Storm was iirc a slightly better talker and he just got an honorary mention.

[@THATGUY-ir4ie]

Boyan Penev Ol Dean was considered more technical that the HITMAN. And even if he was not good on the mic, Mr. Perfect was no World Championship material anyways. You might as well say that Owen Hart is underrated.

[@olliewoolsey2222]

In my eyes RVD and Shelton Benjamin are the two most underrated in recent times both should've won a lot of world titles

[@yousexythang208]

The IWC worships RVD like a god, how is he overrated?

[@olliewoolsey2222]

Yousexythang I said underrated bro aha

[@obamarules9841]

Ollie Woolsey what about Cody Rhodes?

[@DYLANJJK94]

Yeap RVD wasn't gooe enough in Vince's eyes.....

[@eliarbaiza]

Shelton was a great worker but had no mic skills and little persona. He just didn't have that "it factor" to be a main-eventer like guys like John Cena or Roman Reigns have.

[@samueljones6329]

Thought I would see Dean Malenko up here, very technically sound wrestler.

[@doublea3800]

5:43 , WHY THE FUCk WOULD WCW WOULD BUILD THEIR RING OUTSIDE AREA LIkE THIS ?????!!!!!!!

[@Awesomanti]

Because that's New Japan. Hence the "Dontaku" ring apron"

[@HiiixImpakt]

because Japanese people don't feel pain and they forgot Americans were wrestling

[@BigKat96]

the ones in WCW use to spin too, but to your question they were put on higher platforms to raise the ring higher so that people could see better

[@MrTributes]

[@owenhartguy7953]

[@selby545]

You totally forgot about guys like Christian and Diamond Dallas Page (oh boy is he underrated)

[@magoh2000]

Γιαννης Χωριανοπουλος DDP for certain!!

[@galvatron3214]

No way is DDP underated!!!. What did DDP bring to the ring as far as wrestling skills go??. A typical DDP match was, get hit, get hit, get hit, get hit, get hit, get hit, get hit, sudden diamond cutter, wins the match.

[@williaml3546]

Personally histoically speaking I think both guys are generally rated very highly.

[@abeardwithtattoos]

Γιαννης Χωριανοπουλος DDP just sucked!

[@machomanforeverworldchampion]

I would put DDP in the overrated category. Got much more of a push than he should have.

[@roscoelopez8523]

RVD SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST

[@iregnetnothing]

Why? He won much

[@jordanmachuca6087]

Am I the only one who thinks Christopher Daniels is extremely underrated?

[@Jesusblowsme666]

I think so too :/

[@liquidgeorge]

[@THATGUY-ir4ie]

I liked him in the WWE. He would have kept the edge in the federation. Undefeated baby!

[@RisingRecluse]

[@anthvevo846]

Christian and Davy Boy Smith should be on here

[@uli4106]

Chip Master I KNOW RIGHT

[@prince_sach50]

Christian is #1

[@barlotardy]

Dean Malenko. Yes, I know he couldn't do much of anything on the mic, but I actually liked that; He his his peak in a time where more attention was being payed to the promo and back stage angles than the actual wrestling. He was one of the few guys who just went out there for 20 minutes and wrestled his ass off. No crazy gimmick, just amazing technical skills.

[@Lionel212001]

The man was a walking clinic. I loved his matches, especially with Eddie.

[@DaciYT]

If Christian's not here...

Oh faaaacking bulllshiiiit

[@Phyrrus]

he isnt

[@user-ro9xm3tm8u]

but cena is...

[@user-mr6xf8xz2d]

Tyler Yusef , people disregard his in ring ability, simply because the company pushes him too much. What this video is trying to accomplish, is to say that cena was not a bad wrestler , performance wise and yet people keeps saying he is a bad wrestler. When in reality he's just getting pushed too much.

[@DYLANJJK94]

Nope, Cena out shined all even this list, Well at least it's one list Hulk Hogan couldn't hog for once...

[@wessparkmon2395]

[@pikapika8926]

@@thomasgaspard1739 what are your feelings on matt sydal

[@420HBKHHHDX8]

I would switch Cena with Goldust. This man is working his ass of for the fans and never really got a good feud. The Tag Team run with Booker was ok, but creepy and mildly racist. His Tag Team with Stardust and the following angle was sooo gooood daaaamn goooood, that I'm sickened by the fact they never really won. He solo wrestled some of the best matches while wearing a suit that is keeping your skin from breathing or cooling down. I don't like Cena, but not the "you can't wrestle" way. I hate him, because he buries talents, angles and even whole movements. I hate him, because he killed The Nexus. I hate him like i hate Reigns, because BOTH are so good damn annoying guys. Ok Reigns isn't even good enough to cut a promo, but John Cena as the face of "No Hate" did one with some nice insults. Babyface... And yes, the rest is 100% right. I adore Regal. He is amazing ♥

[@fcfcfcfc7813]

Cindys Schnabeltier Kuratoriu Lately Cena has been putting people over. The last person he really "buried" was Rusev but he recovered. In fact, Cena isn't even top guy anymore so the burying stuff can be put to rest, Styles, Ambrose, Rollins, Enzo and Cass are a few names lately. His character may be stale but he is still underrated in the ring

[@420HBKHHHDX8]

Brock Lesnars Lovechild And I'm happy with that. He is basically gone. The moment he was injured was the exact moment WWE started to recover. Then they made CWC, they started to push the right guys. I loved Clash of Champions, but I still hate Cena. Like I said, not because of his skills, I have seen much worse, but because of what he is. Or know was. And I can't forgive him, what he did to The Nexus. Sry. ^^

[@because_the_internet]

You mean apart from that one last week when Ambrose pinned him clean in the middle of the ring?

[@dannicarling9152]

This Cindys person sounds like they're trying to do their best CM Punk impression.

John Cena being on this list and not Owen Hart is a tragedy.

[@pphyjynx8217]

owen hart is considered one of the best wrestlers ever by the fans, but cena is seen as a bad wrestler, because of the booking

[@TrolledBy]

Owen would've had a huge career if it didn't cut short. Mr. Perfect never got his push he deserved.

[@grabbity]

I get it guys, I miss watching Owen too. But he was already in his mid 30s and intending to retire in a few months. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with all he was going to accomplish in wrestling.

[@rochellekoons9267]

Havendale Blvd I thought he beat Sting but you are definitely right about Rude being WCW world champ

[@ripum853]

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing when he said it.

[@adamstewart5188]

From what I can find, he won the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship, which was not the same thing as the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. (Specifically, it was the World Heavyweight Championship of the fictional WCW International.) It was a very short-lived championship, existing for less than a year from summer 1993 to summer 1994. Rude actually had three separate reigns with it, and held the belt (which was the Big Gold Belt that later served as the WCW World Heavyweight Championship) for more than half that time.

[@adamstewart5188]

He beat Flair for his first run with the "WCW International" World Heavyweight Championship, and Sting for his incredibly brief third run. (In between, he dropped it to, and won it back a week later from, NJPW's Hiroshi Hase at house shows in Japan.)

[@ripum853]

Ah okay, yeah that's when I thought he became Heavyweight Champion, due to the belt he held during those short reigns. Thank you for clearing it up.

[@MIKELIN8]

Cena isn't as much underrated as he is over-hated. Cena basically re-invented the US Title with his weekly challenge, giving chances to many un-known wrestlers. Even him putting Kevin Owens over was ignored by the IWC, which has an abnormal hatred for him.

[@sh1_792]

Excuse me? it was Rusev who made the US title relevant

[@mordecai3479]

SH1 _ no

[@eliarbaiza]

U could say the same thing about Roman Reigns he's one of the best wrestlers in the business (amazing on the mic too) yet he gets lots of undeserved hate. I think modern fans like to act cool hate the top faces and cheer on the heels.

[@advocatefish3562]

Wasted a spot on Cena to create controversy when there are many wrestlers out there that are actually underrated. Shame.

[@wwewomen8754]

Christian is so underrated that he doesn't get mentioned in a list of most underrated wrestlers 🤼

[@joeydh52]

Ted Dibiase is vastly underrated. Well before his time in the mid-late 80's and early 90's.

[@secondchancecookies]

Couldn't agree more on Cena and I might even put him at #1. He is criminally under-appreciated by the IWC.

[@ericsmusic5927]

YES!!!!

[@Deathpain93]

Yeah he's in one of the few five star matches in the WWE I'm not a big fan of him but he has done so much for the WWE in and out of the ring you have to respect him.

[@botyears]

The IWC are a vocal minority. Everyone else loves him, even the IWC started to like him since his US title run, and now his new angle with Dean and AJ is being praised too. The "John Cena sucks" chants are basically Cena's version of the "You suck" chants.

[@blitzofchaos9518]

I think the mere fact you didn't rate him high enough to be on this list proves my point that Dean Malenko is one of the most under rated wrestlers ever. Technically he was as good a performer as Bret Hart, but does anyone ever say it? No. Except for me right now.

[@blitzofchaos9518]

Oh I even forgot how under rated Lance Storm is.... Might be even more of a point... lol

[@brianbradshaw7540]

Dean Malenko and Lance Storm are great shouts. I will add Perry Saturn onto that list as well. I have been watching a lot of WCW and 2000-01 WWF recently and never realised as a kid how good he was. Taking into account he was messed up by drugs throughout his WWF run and he could still wrestle at his best.

[@Mammutidae]

Also unfortunate that he was messed up by meth after his wrestling career and now he has a face tattoo.

[@brianbradshaw7540]

Ryan Ellis He disappeared for a few years as well. I know he resurfaced a year or so ago and was seemingly in better health. I am glad the drug issues weren't his fate.

[@charlesleggettii4480]

Shelton Benjamin is definitely underrated

[@matthewsmith1779]

Regal was MY GUY!! Shocked he's on this list. I remember when he did a shoot(but eventually jobbed like he was supposed to) on Goldberg during his streak. Goldberg was so confused. It was excellent.

[@FlyGuy3643]

Company wise.. John Cena meets every aspect as to being rated right how he should be. He's a 15 time world champion. Now when it comes to the fans.. I see why you saying he's underrated. But that's what you're basing it off of. The fans are just tired of seeing him at the top I guess.

[@FlyGuy3643]

But don't get me wrong. I love him.

[@de132]

People still call him 5 move John and people still say he's a bad wrestler pretty much consistently since 2006. That's pretty unfair to me

[@boyanpenev9822]

Sometimes things just become fan memes. Just like Kurt Angle would consistently get "you suck" chants. Cena was not that good of a technical wrestler early on. He has improved a lot since, but the chants have stayed.

[@Helldog6]

That's because he sucks. It isn't fair, it's the truth.

[@de132]

[@2afault]

He was not underrated by us, only by WWE and management.

Feud with Jericho?

[@easy_nator_gamer8498]

Regal wasn't all that exciting either but made #1 on this list. Malenko should've made this list IMO

[@ceebee4564]

Could not agree with number one more. He is by far one of, if not the most, severely underrated wrestlers of all time. I've watched most of his time as a manager, tag team partner, and even being the commish. Every time I see him wrestle, cut a promo, or being apart of some of the most hilariously weird duos I've ever seen, it is never dull. I hope one day that he makes it into the Hall of Fame, cause his tenure in the industry alone is worth the admission. Coupling that with the fact that he's a former holder of multiple different championships and an excellent teacher, he should be destined to be a shoe-in.

[@SportsSpeak73]

No Owen Hart or Malenko?

@@hbk23 Nope. Neither of them. Granted, it's a bit obnoxious to have them as champions one third of the year, but Woods and Big E can put awesome matches when they decide to stop goofing around.

What about Raven?

[@batesjulius00]

Quoth the raven, Nevermore!

[@machomanforeverworldchampion]

What about me?

[@MsCreepyChan]

Rick Rude may be gone, but I will never forget him, his feud against Ultimate Warrior is one of my favourite feuds of all time.

[@DanielFoolhardy]

But that bastard can't even do a cartwheel.

[@TrolledBy]

You have to love how Vader hates flippy shit but uses moonsault as a finisher xD

[@cstmichael]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for making Regal #1. He was always fantastic, even when he wrestled someone with a completely different style. On top of being a superb wrestler, he figured out how to sell anything to a tee, and he always knew when the best moments were to banter with the crowd mid-match. So good.

[@tylerdixon6500]

the John Cena bit was fuckin hilarious

[@PabloCruise91]

I agree with Cena. I used to HATE him back in 2005-2007. He's one of the reasons I stopped watching wrestling in 2008. I loved when Edge cashed in on him and RVD beat him at One Night Stand 2006. Now I started watching again early this year and I can't hate anymore. The man has worked his ass off for 10+ years, has put on great matches, great feuds, and has done amazing charitable work outside of WWE. He really is worthy of all his regard and I will smile the day he is in inducted into the HoF.

[@Helldog6]

HE has never put on a great match. 40 two-counts and a bunch of false finishes DOES NOT make a match good. He's trash. He's always been trash. He will always be trash. And his charity work is irrelevant. Who gives a fuck about that.

[@whatislife4831]

Well obviously the people he has helped with the charity work care about it, and also then what the hell do you think makes a great match, false finishes, 2 counts, drama, and the type of moves determine how good a match is

[@speedy316uk]

Apparently a lot of stories seem to make him a really nice guy in real life too, a lot of people who have said they have seen him out in real life said that if you go up to him and ask him for a pic or a signature he will do it with a smile on his face, he wont tell you to F off like most wrestlers would, thats a really big deal and even when he has to turn you down he does it in such a nice way that you dont feel bad about it which is really cool

[@MisterObjectivity]

It's hard to respect a guy who talks so piously about not taking steroids, when his own body has a freakish refrigerator-like look. John Cena is the most obvious steroid abuser who is neither Russian nor an Olympian.

[@speedy316uk]

MisterObjectivity Lol i find it hard to respect someone who makes accusations with no evidence to back up his claim, just because Cena is big that automatically makes him a steriod abuser! Despite his relationship with the adult audience i can respect the fact that they guy works everyday of his damn life and is a damn legitimate superhero to children round the world and your looking to shatter that image by calling the guy out on steriods with no proof. Goldberg is big is he on steriods too? I would love to see you walk up to him and call him out on it because the guy would probably eat you and spit out your bones! If Cena was on steriods he would have got big near enough overnight but no he got big over 15 years of being in the gym damn near everyday of his life.

[@Kanzuki]

I agree with Cena the wrestler being underrated but Christian should've been on this list.

[@Kanzuki]

Oh & Wade Barrett too.

[@vcom741]

Agreed wholeheartedly on Barrett. He is the guy who made me watch wrestling.

[@atulonerocker]

I would put Goldust on the list. You watch Goldust in his recent matches, the way he moves he gives a true competition to all the youngsters out there. I really feel sorry for how the WWE used a talent like him.

[@adamsandle7265]

I think Goldust in its original form was entertaining

[@davidarchuleta2946]

Personally I am old school so John Cena wasn't drinking my perfect error of wrestling but my grandma loved John Cena and she started watching wrestling again because of him so I do respect him

[@dylanmulroe9978]

The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels is one of the best wrestlers i have EVER witnessed and he is so underrated.

[@scarletspeed7]

Diamond Dallas Page should replace John Cena since only a small minority of people don't think Cena isn't a great talent.

[@maximusm-rawlius9586]

What about Owen Hart

[@eshaanbhat3732]

Maximus M-Rawlius Owen Hart is a decorated champion

[@richardbarth918]

Owen is odd. He had a great career and you can tell he was going to soon be world champ ...but he died. So he is very highly regarded but still should have done more if he had not passed. So it is easy to make an argument that he both is and isn't since everyone looks back on him so fondly.

[@Asquared74]

The only reason why I Owen Hart is not on this list because he had an untimely demise during his career. Had he not had that stunt accident at Over The Edge he would have had the WWF title at least twice by the time he retired.

[@aaronscott4984]

@@richardbarth918 Yea if you do research The Game gimmick was going to be Owen Hart's not HHH so he was getting set up for a main event title run after the Blue Blazer but he unfortunately died

Jagjit Singh More like overrated.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Hennig is definitely underrated, but he was a world champion. He won the AWA World Title from Nick Bockwinkel in the '80s.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

And Rick Rude was the WCW Champion. During the brief time when it was known as the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship, after WCW withdrew from the NWA and before it was just the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, but either way, it was the top belt in the promotion. (He's also underrated, though.)

[@jazzygeofferz]

He feuded with Sting. It was the big gold belt they feuded over.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Yep!

[@SooperSam]

In my opinion Hennig is overrated. He makes every match look like a cartoon show. You slap him in the face and he flies out of the ring, you kick him in the leg and he does a backflip. Now nobody can complain that Hennig didn't sell moves, but there comes a point when over selling is just as bad as no-selling.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Disagree strongly.

[@ssssssstssssssss]

Rick Martel should be on this list. He had the look, the in-ring skills, and even the charisma, but got stuck in the mid-card his whole time in the WCW and WWF

[@TheArizonaAssasin]

This list had most of my absolute favorite wrestlers on it.

[@okei6694]

Martin Kirby ;) ZOIDBERG ELBOW

[@FryzuxD]

Like... never? Guy hit with that would be soooooooo weak, he will never recover.

[@SVillainG]

As a finisher for the WCPW title. But it's not going to be against Joseph Conners. Well, it might be, if Joe Hendry interferes. However, I believe it's a bit too early.

[@adrianbillionaire]

Rick Rude was one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time (especially in WWE). Really put the Warrior over and several others. Rude was just a head of his time...

[@dswabey]

Regal has been my favourite for years. He's said himself that he's always just wanted to get other people over and has lost about 80% of his matches. But even now, go look up his match against cesaro in nxt. He's still brilliant

[@donmitchgotti8404]

Can u imagine AJ styles beating the rock, shawn Michaels, hhh, Batista, orton (even though styles probably will), BROCK LESNAR could u even imagine AJ styles pinning Brock LESNAR let alone making him tap, and kurt angle

[@temptationofmemories]

AJ has done what Cena's done he's been the face of a company, tna. He's also gotten over in every promotion he's stepped in the ring to wrestle for. Does that change anything about John Cena being the face of a company for 14 years no, but Aj has been the face of one, and like Cena he's beaten all comers, AJ isn't some upstart thinking he's better than everyone he has the wrestling history all over the world to prove it, I respect Cena and think he gets far less respect than he should by the wwe audience but AJ is the phenomenal one for a reason. And he's every bit as accomplished and deserving of his titles and accolades as John Cena is

[@sriley064]

Roman Reigns is pretty heavily underrated by the fanbase due to a shithouse character

Ultimo dragon was massively underrated, I loved him in WCW

[@WildBillCox13]

I'm with you about Cena. I've watched his skillset with critical interest and there is none better. He can talk the talk AND walk the walk. I agree about Bam Bam, too. Flying headbutt from the top turnbuckle is a high flyer move, not a big man move. That and the cartwheels (some of which were perfect) gave the impression that here was a man who could outwrestle anyone on any day.

[@daveyleeriot]

before I even watch this video...Perry Saturn better be up here

[@brianbradshaw7540]

Wholeheartedly agree. I was 12 when he had his WWF run and after watching a lot of WCW and WWF I can't believe I never realised before how good he was. Throughout his WWF run he was drugged up beyond belief and his in-ring work didn't suffer. That is a credit to how good a wrestler he really was.
