Under-appreciated

Bubs101

I was just wondering who you thought were/are the most under-rated wrestlers in the WWE. Personally I'd lash in Goldust, the Hurricane,Al Snow, Steve Blackman, D-lo Brown and Shane Mcmahon. All classics yet none of them (maybe with the exception of goldust but I can't be sure) got a push towards a heavyweight title. The WWE does have a tendancy to misuse brilliant talent

Stevie Richards, Raven, TAKA Michinoku, Matt Striker and Jamie Noble are a few names that pop into my head straight away. I think they all could/should have been used much better. In the case of Noble, I think he should actually be used, full-stop

At the moment I'd say Cade and Murdoch are vastly under-appreciated by the majority of fans, but I'm sure some are warming to them recently. Regal and Finlay are two of the best wrestlers around who don't seem to be appreciated by a lot of fans too

Got to agree with you there, Cade & Murdoch are very much under appreciated by fans. They really can put on a great match and they have proven that especially since they are getting some more airtime the past few weeks.

Regal has been around so long, I wish he was appreciated more, along with Finlay. Both put on good, proper wrestling matches, different from other in the WWE (apart from Benoit). No big flashy moves but proper technique, which is refreshing.

Steve Blackman may not have a whole lot of charisma but either does benoit and he was great in the ring

Steve Blackman was never half the wrestle Benoit was.

2 years ago I would have. Now he is so terribly out of shape I don't want to watch him. And I used to be the biggest Kane fan evAr. He needs to do a deal like what the Undertaker had i.e. only doing a few matches per month, not doing house shows, just so he can spend more time in the gym and fitness training. He's been going pretty much non-stop now for a while and it's obvious the road has taken its toll.

I gotta agree with you on this one, hes always been a heavy hitter where ever hes been and he only ever got one day as the champion. He deserves a good run with the belt after his years of service.

Maybe Kane does, but not in his current state of shape. He is after getting really clumsy in the ring and need to get back in shape (maybe even get the mask back).

Dublin1983

at the mo, it would have to be Finaly he is a great heel, and could become a face, if he wanted. he deserves a title shot.

Terry

Finlay never got the push he deserved. Sadly he is too old now.

Currently, Cade and Murdoch. Old school heels who deserve a tag title.

Seconded. Vince is proverbally wiping his ass with that belt on a weekly basis. Yet the concept of it is getting more viewers than December to Dismember did! Cos people will tune in the next week to see what the hell is gonna happen next.

Chris Jericho easily. Given the "first ever undisputed" champion (despite the fact that both Savage and Flair also had that monikor when they both won the belts after the titles were vacated in 88 and 91 respectively) and made to look like a weak champion needing interference left right and centre to hold on to it with the main exception being Rock at Rumble 02.

Then his Mania main event being overshadowed by Rock v Hogan, and then buried down the midcard. His career never really recovered from it since.
