Bobby Roode is the most bland man who has walked the planet. Ring work and personality wise. I tried to get him, but he just bores me to tears. Always has, probably always will. How about Roderick Strong?

Anybody whose career peaked in the original ECW. If you can't understand the hype behind Sabu, you must have started watching wrestling around the time that The Hardy Boys were making a name for themselves by copying his style. Sabu could have been much bigger imo if he was allowed to go to WCW around 2000. Knowing Russo though, he would either be a disgruntled Arab American(pre Muhammad Hassan) or stereotypical terrorist. That said, I don't think he was a big draw outside of ECW or Japan.

That said, I don't think he was a big draw outside of ECW or Japan. Saying Sabu wasn't a big draw outside of ECW or Japan is like saying that HHH wasn't a big draw outside of WWE. Japan is one of the biggest wrestling markets in the world, and ECW had a substantially large, worldwide cult following behind it. The Hardy Boys became some of wrestling's biggest superstars in the late 90s, but had ECW had broader (and possibly mainstream) exposure before Sabu left the company (which was just after ECW got national exposure on TNN), Sabu would have gotten the wealth he so deserved for pioneering that style of wrestling and setting a precedent for it where he worked. Even though the Apter magazines like Pro Wrestling Illustrated treated WCW and the WWF as the 'major leagues' of wrestling and consequently treated every other promotion as a 'minor league,' they made a habit of regularly giving Sabu a small portion of exposure on the covers of their magazines. I can't think of any non-WWF/WCW wrestler who got that kind of attention, and it shows just how much Sabu was getting over with fans and critics for being so innovative.

How about Roderick Strong? Roderick Strong is an awesome in ring worker and can have a personality when allowed to show it. Bobby Roode is a guy that people tell me is awesome, yet theres nothing about him that hooks me in.

I never got the hype for Duke 'The Dumpster' Droese. He was a friggin' garbage man, for crying out loud.

Ken Kennedy and Justin Credible. I've always found them both really bland. Was there ever any hype about Justin Credible? Genuine question. joey styles fawned over him like crazy his official ecw debut, and you have to imagine heyman did, too. they may have been the only ones, though.

Daniel Bryan. I'd rather watch X-Pac.

Ric Flair. Boring to watch, too cheesy to really despise as a heel, badly dated look (even in the early 90s, when I first saw him). I have never seen the appeal of him, and that's without even considering how much if a mess he is as a human being.

I never got John Morrison until Lucha Underground. Same with Del Rio.
In the E, it's gotta be Orton. I have no idea how you could find that guy entertaining at all.
In the Indie scene, I still don't get Roderick Strong, ZSJ, and Joey Ryan.

Goldberg. He's a monster heel except he's a face? I don't get it. Product of his time, I suppose. It made sense to get behind a guy who seemed like he could be the bane of the nWo's existence, and in an era of WCW that had a lot of faces be wishy-washy or come up short, he was the right man at the right time. A big, bad motherf***er steamrollering people will usually get over. The Road Warriors, the Ultimate Warrior, all the way through to Ryback, who started off being seen as a Goldberg rip-off but they stuck with it and he got really over.

The Rock- If you've seen him on the mic once, you have heard everything he will ever say (and it's all the dumbest catchphrases ever). If you have seen him wrestle once, you have seen all he has to offer in the ring (and it's all a bunch of hokey moves and overselling). Easily the most overrated, overhyped wrestler of all time.
Coming in a close second in the "Overrated and Overhyped" race....
Brock Lesnar- One move wonder. Never had a classic match, even with some of the outstanding opponents he has had to work with. Before his first departure, he was known mostly for being a boring champion who almost killed himself botching a SSP. Since his return, he is mostly known for using one move to go over much more talented wrestlers, and having a dick tattooed on his chest. Somewhere along the way, people convinced themselves that he is the baddest man alive because he has an average-at-best MMA career. Did you notice that I haven't mentioned his interviews? That's because he can't talk to save his life. Paul Heyman is the only redeeming quality that Lesnar has.

Rob Van Dam, generally, the matches with Jerry Lynn aside.

It's when I constantly heard in 2008 that he was the greatest wrestler of all time that I knew how overrated he was. He wouldn't even be in my top 10.

Adam Cole
I really really don't see what all the fuss is about. He's small, he's an average wrestler, and he's a below average promo. Sorry, I don't care about his geek stuff in PWG so maybe that's where most think he shines the most IDK.
It's like people just like going BAY BAY and posting dumb Adam Cole gifs and think that makes him a good wrestler. It doesn't.
