Most uncharismatic wrestler ever?

Recommended Posts

Nah seriously, before his "big push" in WWE Chris Benoit was pretty uncharismatic.

I knew someone would say this. Very frustrating. If Benoit had no charisma, his matches wouldn't have had any heat prior to his big WWE push because he would have been a lousy role player. Benoit has more charisma than most in wrestling. It just manifests itself in a way that doesn't involve talking.

Your right.. I thought we were talking more about being out there.. talking kind of person.. Benoit is definately charismatic in the ring.. and don't get me wrong, cuz Benoit has been in my top three since 94 (Alex Wright and Brian Pillman were my other two favourites).

I can't believe a few people are listing Steve "Mongo" McMichael, he proved he was very charismatic with his excellent color commentary in WCW.

"You can't shave a green horse with white paint my friends."

 

Ok he didn't really say this, but if I said he did, no one would argue.

I'm going to go with people that got big pushes and had no charisma: Billy Gunn and Sean Waltman. Really incredibly bland and relied on other people they teamed with for their charisma.

 

However, Lance Storm in ECW was fantastic. I remember watching Guilty as Charged '98 (I think) when he cut a promo mocking, I believe, Tajiri and Super Crazy for injuries he gave them right before an impromptu match with RVD.

Is this a joke? He was a great stooge, who's put together some of the hottest U.S. matches of all time, even before Cornette.

He was great in the ring but his interviews were bad.

Some of these guys being mentioned have actually smiled. Rodney Mack has done nothing.

I am throwing my vote for David Sammartino. I never saw anything but "generic wrestler" whenever I saw him wrestle.

Matt Morgan is another uncharasmatic hoss.

He's the most over person in OVW and I'm sure Cornette has wet dreams about him.

Haku, pre- and post-THEMONSTERMENG~! days.

 

In fact, even as THEMONSTERMENG~!, did he ever actually show any charisma, or was that just us imposing charisma on him?

The only memorable thing Haku's ever said was something along the lines of you must die for me to live.

 

His wrestling charisma is being a samoan who screamed a lot.

If you give the a wrestler the right sort of gimmick, anything is possible. ...Kama as Godfather...Rotundo as I.R.S...

 

But...least charismatic...

 

Paul London. Please, don't give him the mic.
