I am not going to call him overrated, but I have always hated Delirious. see, Delirious is fun when he is allowed to be a fun character (his early ROH career, and Incoherence in CHIKARA) I do not like serious Delirious |

I like current serious Delirious.
Oh, new ones.
Male - Sabian, and I'm one of the few who DON'T hate his guts. I really don't know why he's so prominent in CZW and Urban Wrestling Federation when Joker is much more entertaining to watch.
(This is a booking case not a fan case, because there are plenty of fans who hate Sabian.)
I was going to say Drake Younger, but honestly, I can't. He's done so much in his career that he honestly deserves the accolades. Plus, I loved quite a few of his matches. So I'll just replace him with Scotty and Devon Moore.
Female - I'm sorry... But Jessie McKay and Leva Bates. Out of all the rising stars in Indy women's wrestling, they are the few that do nothing for me. Yes, they are both hot. Yes, their gleeful charisma is pretty damn infectious it seems.
But outside of some exceptions in Jessie's case (her matches with Nicole Matthews and Madison Eagles are superb), I'm just not a fan of their work.

[quote author=shadow board=wrestling thread=423925 post=8434682 time=1335673866 Same here! I prefer Deeb, Melissa, Rate Tank, Eagles, Haze and many more. This actually reminded me of another: Serena Deeb. I see people going ape over her as one of the best out there, and I just don't see it. For me, she doesn't suck or anything, she's just kind of there. I like Del Rey, but I liked her better when she relied less on the kicks. Too many people in wrestling these days make up too much of their offense with kicks for my taste. I actually got into Deeb by watching her in SMASH(against Kana/Nakagawa) and SHIMMER(vs. Haze especially). She didn't really do much in the WWE as far as in ring is concerned. Also agree with Del Rey relying a lot on kicks. I find a lot of guys wrestle the same style on the indies anyway. There are a few gems though. |

Also agree with Del Rey relying a lot on kicks. I find a lot of guys wrestle the same style on the indies anyway. There are a few gems though. I've seen a lot of her Shimmer stuff, and she still just doesn't do anything for me. Speaking of Shimmer, someone mentioned Jessie McKay and Leva Bates, so I may as well weight in on them as well. McKay - Is a really odd case for me. I've actually enjoyed most of her matches (with Matthews in particular), but I just can't get into her on the whole. I don't know if it's the always smiling, bubbly personality, the "Everybody's Favorite Girlfriend" moniker (btw, every time the ring announcer says that, I imagine Jesse Ventura saying, "Now wait a minute, Prazak, what does that even mean, anyway? Everybody's favorite girlfriend? What, is she a scarlet woman or something?" or some variation thereof) but despite the matches I've enjoyed, I just find myself unable to really care. Bates - Yeah, doesn't really do anything for me. I don't think she's horrible, I think she's just kind of there. I think a lot of people like her because they find her attractive and she did the gimmick of dressing as comic book characters and, along with Danger, dressed as Dr. Who. |

I'm digging current SRS Delirious, but any other serious Delirious is pretty bunk.
Jessie McKay is a wrestler who rises to the quality of talent she's in the ring with, (other than the terrible match she had with Kana, which I blame on their styles not meshing at all.)
Leva I get as overratee. She's not the best thing ever. But she is fun wrestler who's over. And being over, selling like a champ, and getting fans into matches is good enough for me.
I will put Kana forward though. Her stuff doesn't mesh well with a lot of people. It's kind of like playing a fighting game where one character has an entirely different set of rules. Just feels awkward.

While he isn't anymore, Jack Evans was pretty overrated, especially when he was in ROH. A lot of indy guys get unfairly denigrated as spot monkeys, but he is the literal definition of the term. He's okay in tags or other multi-man matches where his big spots can be more spaced out to pop the crowd, but he can't really work as a singles wrestler because his offense is way too ridiculous to carry a match on its own.
