He literally only does powerbombs and runs at things. I have trouble believing he's underrated in the ring. He's only had good matches with wrestlers who have good matches with practically everyone they wrestler, so it seems to me that there is zero evidence to support the idea he is secretly good at the in-ring aspect. That's pretty much completely false. He's had very good to great matches with wrestlers that aren't known for being great in-ring like Aheamus, Big Show and Brock. And he holds his own against the in-ring guys such as during his matches with AJ.

People keep bringing up a great match with Big Show... are they talking about the last man standing match because I thought that match was awful.

Big Show is notorious for having really good matches with unsuspecting people, NEVER got that from Roman Now if we're talking Sheamus I'll give all the praise in the world...

Did a quick google search and found 8-9 reviews of the Last Man Standing match, all rated it between 3 and 4 stars. That's very good for a Big Show match.

That Sheamus vs Show match for the title was better than it had any right to be

I guess, but the company overrates him more than fans underrate him, so it's hard to feel he gets an unfair rep or anything.

I personally have never been that impressed by him unless he was being rag dolled by Brock, but I can buy that he's a talented guy in there somewhere. Is he VASTLY overrated by the office? Absolutely. He's not the guy, and never will be.

He probably one of the most overrated wrestler in the last couple years. Roman is what happen if Greg Gagne and Erik Watts got main event push and world title runs.

Considering the position he's in, no he's not underrated. He's criminally lacking in presence, promo skills, and charisma based on his position as the top guy. He is way behind the greats that came before him.

Dude, say what you will about how shit Sheamus' face characters are but if he gets a chance to throw down then he's one of the best brawlers in the company. Dude had a fantastic match with Tensai in 2012 because they were allowed to beat the crap out of each other

By the company? Not at all. By fans? Absolutely, in terms of in-ring and character work. What I was gonna say. Because of such extremes on both sides, he's somehow underrated and overrated at the same damn time. Schrödinger's Big Dog.
