I almost want to agree with you. Promos were the shits. Gimmick was meh. Work was sloppy as f*** but still looked good. His work barely saves him from the Jinder tier.

Mongo. He couldn’t wrestle. He couldn’t talk. Apparently he could only walk and look cool. This is a great one. It is shocking how unathletic he was considering the guy has a legitimately good case to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of the best defensive players of his generation but then he gets to WCW and he moves like he has three left feet.

This is gonna be controversial, but can we add Goldberg to the list?
He can’t really cut promos and if he works for more than two minutes his matches suck.
The only “long” matches Goldberg had was against Raven and DDP, and in the Raven match they used a lot of smoke and mirrors with a lot of interferences.

Heidenreich. There's really no reason anyone should have given a solitary shit about him after he was released. But somehow we still cared that time he wrestled a Doink in a carpark. Heidenreich also LOOKED like a Big dude you didn't want to mess with

I see your Goldberg, and raise you an Ahmed Johnson.

I just learned something from the STWW podcast, Michael Hayes trained Ahmed Johnson, no wonder he sucked so much.

Mason Ryan comes to mind, for a more recent one.

He was one of the best defensive players of his generation but then he gets to WCW and he moves like he has three left feet. You have to take in the fact by the time he became a wrestler (With little training) He was in his 40s and had bad knees. It was not a direct from the football field in great health to the ring in his prime athlete years. Mongo was so out of place wrestling and was only there because he was a HOF football player. Watching him wrestle with his like stiff legged movement.

He's probably been mentioned already, but Great Khali is the first one that comes to mind, for me.

Sid was the first thing that popped into mind for me. I was such a huge fan of his but if you asked me why I wouldn't be able to come up with anything other than "He's cool"

911. All he could do was chokeslam. The moment he had a match it was so bad that they took him off tv. A lot of ECW guys talk about how 911 ruined his own career. He wanted to wrestle so bad and everybody told him no that when he finally got the match the aura was gone.

The list begins and ends with the ECW Zombie RIP Tim, yes he took that one segment and parlayed it into several years on the indy circuit. If only certain other things went all right for him...
