Posted March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834932 Should we just give up hope that Dave will be publishing the awards issue before WrestleMania?
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834944 Looking forward to Sheamus and Reigns being featured on the Most Overrated list once again even though that by definition they really aren't. It's a yearly tradition.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834954 I thought Overrated means "over pushed" in the WON Awards. So Sheamus would be a poor choice, while Reigns would (depending on the voter) be a good one.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834985 Cesaro is probably gonna win Most Underrated again, which I think is pretty ridiculous given that he was on TV & had lengthy matches pretty much every week from his return in April till the end of the Observer year.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834988 If this was the '80s, he would be in the Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels tag guy who eventually goes single star role and everything before he teamed with Sheamus wouldn't have happened. Actually, he'd probably be a Nikita Koloff type guy and it's unbelievable he's never had a run on top in the past 5-6 years he's been on the main roster.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834998 I'd go Jinder for Most Overrated (shout-outs to Corbin and Natalya as well) and Becky for Most Underrated (shout-outs to Naomi, Mojo, and Harper).
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835000 I think the issue with Reigns being Most Overrated (other than being a great wrestler) is that while he was always near the top of the card, his booking wasn't stellar. He lost pretty much every match with Braun and took the pin at Summerslam. Brock has a better case for Most Overrated than Reigns does. And Cesaro is a case where just because you're a terrific wrestler, it doesn't necessarily mean you should be a main eventer. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Cesaro gold watch world title run and him wrestling regularly in the main event, but his promo and character work is not there. He was made to be a midcard workhorse or tag team specialist. This is like, his third tag team that's been really, really good.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835012 At this point, KO *has* to be most Overrated, at least thinking logically. He has been in the main event scene for what feels like (and actually is) YEARS, and has done NOTHING noteworthy himself. Surely the segment with Vince and the Festival of Friendship were nice moments, but they were made interesting by the person opposite to Owens, who just is not engaging at all and has been featured at the top for ages. Jinder was champ, sure, but they did something with his reign. It actually had a higher viewership than AJ's current reign (which has been smeared with a ridiculous storyline). Reigns getting positioned as most Overrated in the '16 awards when he was the absolute best wrestler in the company is still some bullshit. Sheamus was featured in the most Overrated category that same year, and Cesaro was in the most Underrated. They were a tag team.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835019 Looking forward to Sheamus and Reigns being featured on the Most Overrated list once again even though that by definition they really aren't. It's a yearly tradition. It would be hilarious if Sheamus ended up in as Most Overrated and Cesaro ended up as Most Underrated
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835022 Owens has been a letdown but I think he still had more positive moments than Natalya and Corbin.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835026 Natalya/Corbin haven't been main event heels for the last 18 months.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5835027 That's certainly fair. I just think the early goings of the Shane feud and the turn on Jericho were enough to keep him off my list.
