Most Overrated Wrestler on the Roster

[Robstar]

Thanks for reminding me, he did VH1, and hosted the Golden God Awards on several occasions. I'd say he's achieved a bit.

Not to forget the fact that he's fronted Fozzy for hundreds of live appearances which requires holding court in front of an audience and winning them over with what? Oh yeah - your mic skills. Funny that. Plus there's a lot more to being a front man - charisma, stage presence and confidence. I'd say that counts for something. You don't get 400 takes to get it right there, do you?

...Dancing with the Stars. The son of a bitch sings, dances, wrestles, hosts awards, acts, writes best-sellers.
Goddammit if that is not a STAR, I don't know what is.

He also seemingly (I can only speculate this) has control over his WWE contract. He comes and goes as he pleases. Yeah, Vince would let any Joe do that. What a Junior...

I know, my big words (more than 6 letters) give you a headache, don't they B Mac?

Nah just a little busy doin things ATM... Now it's gonna look like I'm riding your coattail... Dammit!

I thing Damien Sandow is a bit over rated. Sure he has a fun gimmick, but its wrestling not roleplaying. The only move i can think of damien sandow is a neck breaker and elbow drop. I think hes good and could have a promising future. But he needs a lot of work in the ring.

While we're at it, Austin and Rock weren't in Hogan's league.

Look, I get it; Austin and Rock were huger stars, there's no disputing that, but to under appreciate Jericho the way you have is insane to me.

When I mention Jericho traveling all over the world, I mean that he was able to wrestle so many different styles, I believe no other wrestler has. He wrestled so many great WRESTLERS, it's ridiculous I even have to mention them. Just his WCW days were so awesome: Rey, Malenko, Saturn, Juventud, Chavo, Benoit...

Rock and Austin were groundbreaking on the mic and I won't argue their charisma, but Jericho held his own against both. Not saying he topped their catchphrases, but he did just fine.

What do you expect? I'm defending my opinion. I said he was great, but he isn't on the level of Rock and Austin. Hell, if you ask me, best talk show WWE ever had was Jericho's highlight reel. However, he wasn't as good on the mic as Rock or Austin. He didn't make me say I can't miss Monday Night Raw like Austin and Rock did. I don't give a crap if you wrestled in Turkey, that doesn't make you on the level of 2 of the biggest stars the industry has ever seen. Which is the point. He isn't on that level. To say he is, is idiotic. Look where this dude went from. Undisputed title main event match that the crowd wasn't into, to a midcard match at Summerslam vs Ric Flair, WM midcard match with one of the greatest of all-time in HBK(it was the best match on the card), and I could go on. Should I have to look up matches Jericho had after his run with the Undisputed title? I don't think so........

Jericho isn't on the same level on the mic. You gotta be kidding me. Rock and Austin made you say, I can't wait til Raw next week. Jericho never did that for me. Did you watch the attitude era? If you didn't......your opinion is invalid.

Yea, I watched the attitude era. I'm 21 I actually grew up watching the rock and stone cold steve austin. I use to flip people off and pretend to stunner my brothers, I just don't have blind affection for someone I have never met as an adult. I call it like I see it. Jericho has owned the mic since entering the wwe, he does it on his own. The rock has always relied on the same crappy catch phrases and at times it seems you can catch him looking at a teleprompter. Stone cold is a great talker as well... I just don't take anything away from jericho... he is one of the greatest talkers I have ever seen. And If there is anything my opinion is valid on man, it's public speaking.

If you wanna talk booking, David Arquette was WHC. Does that make him better than Ted DiBiase, who never won the gold?

Check out his ECW days also, does Philly fans (one of the toughest to win over) went bananas over him.

I'm not going to deny Austin and Rock were great, but you just cannot downplay Jericho.

[Robstar]

I maintain that while you could stick a mic in Austin's or Jericho's hands at any time and get something worthwhile, Rock needs prepping and writers most of the time. It's true.

[TheGreatOne]

Yeah he ad libs his movies. Honestly, for a Rock mark, you sure do talk a lot of shit. Your logic is flawed, your arguments are flawed and I think you better go visit the bathroom and address that bloodrush from your brain when you think about the Rock. I'll leave you with this FACT - the Rock, in ALL his promos in WWE ad libbed about 6 minutes in all the years he was on the mic. The rest was constantly regurgitated catchphrases. He never could think on his feet - a FACT that even Mick Foley highlights.

I also think you are a bit overly fascinated by the movie world. It's hardly rocket science.

So being a mark is defending your opinion? If so, doesn't that make you a Jericho mark? Talk a lot of shit? I spoke facts. The reason he received all the outside stuff is because his work on the mic. Fascinated by movie world? All I stated was his work on the mic who someone called over-rated was the legit reason why he got offers from Hollywood. I know Rock isn't the same Rock during his prime years, but who expects that? You actually expect a guy who was literally the best on the mic this industry ever seen to be that good on the mic after 10 years? No!! How is my logic flawed? He was in the main event vs one of the biggest stars in wrestling history with Undisputed title on the line, crowd wasn't in the match at all. Jericho and HHH both admitted they shouldn't have gone on last. HHH is no scrub.....he has main evented WMs before. No main event felt like that one did at 18 where the crowd wasn't there. Hell, the following year, facing Mr.Wrestlemania in his return match after 5 years.....no advertising as a top 4 main event match? If that isn't enough to prove he isn't on their level.....I don't know how much clearer I need to make it. I guess a mark like yourself doesn't listen to reason. How many 1 on 1 world or WWE title matches did Jericho have from the time he lost the title at Mania 18 to Unforgiven in 08 when he won his 2nd world title? At least, I believe it was his 2nd. It took a total of 7 years to get his 2nd world title victory? Again, I love how he is on the same level as Austin/Rock. Let us not use logic. Let us play make believe.

So we are really going down that road. Instead of having a real discussion. You want to go into another area instead of discussing those 3. I get it, you can't defend what you been saying. It is ok....
