Underrated Workers......

Recommended Posts

Guest Rrrsh
I always thought Test was pretty underrated. I'm not saying he's a definite World title contender or anything like that, but he gets a lot of shit from people. I think, if given decent chances, he could've actually been some sort of a success.

Totally agree. He is very useful to the company.

Scott Steiner's just as useful! When they come back, I SO hope they team them up again. That was so awesome.

Sure it is.

 

Ah, interesting point. You've given me a lot to chew on there. Couldn't you have just said "I know you are but what am I?"

Also, you keep bringing up how much money he made. Of course he made money. He was a huge draw. Great Worker? Absolutely not.

 

 

Because (1) The goal of WWF wrestling is to draw money, (2) Drawing money takes talent, (3) Hogan had that talent.

 

OK, for once and for all, I AGREE! Hogan made money. No question. But, you might wanna check out the title of this thread. It is about underrated workers, which in my opinion, Hogan is not. PLease don't tell me again that I'm wrong because Hogan is rich. I truelly understand that, and have never argued that. He may be the biggest draw in the history of pro-wrestling. I don't care. The guy is not a good worker.

I forgot to mention him but in 97 Alex Wright was improving greatly but unfortunatly his injury at the end of the year pretty much ended his chances of being pushed and when he came back he was a comedy act.

Alex was a pretty good worker, and I really thought the Berlyn character was going to work. What killed it was when Buff refused to cooperate in his initial fued. He just never got on track after that.

He's good for a dickish mid-card heel, but so are countless of other guys.

I would venture to say that Test is better than most at that role tho.

Test has the best big boot ever. That has to count for something, right?

i belive jeff jarrett to be very underatted and a very solid all rounder and he never has a match below *** and i think people get all that triple jjj bullshit mixed up with the real double js workrate and consistency.

Hells yeah Test is useful, I mean look at right now! Look what he's contributing for the company!

It's difficult to contribute to the company when you're sidelined with an injured neck.

Only because he yells "Boot!" before that.

 

Oh, and Test is good for something! Comedy! Just watch him "crying" after Stacy got hit with the chair and his WM 17 match with Eddie when he got tied up in the ropes (Eddie falling out of the ring was a bonus!).

I think Mark Jindrak catches hell here for no reason. He's not the 2nd coming of Flair or anything but he sells for his opposition and doesn't botch stuff half as much as his WCW/early WWF days. He's starting to develop the personality to match his gimmick. I wouldn't mind seeing him vye for the US Title by the end of the summer.

I think some current underrated workers are Val Venis and Rhyno. I think both put on solid matches when asked and have the presence.

 

 

Brad Armstrong has to be one of the most underrated guys I've ever seen. Great in the ring.....but had no personality.

Well, considering he couldn't draw heat to save his life pre-injury (at least without Stacy ringside)...
