10 Pro Wrestling Legends who are overrated

#10 The Rock

He's currently the most highly paid movie actor in the entire world, a producer and family man. His appearances in Fast and the Furious were so popular he garnered his own franchise based in that world.

He was also once the biggest pro wrestling star on the planet, his popularity insanely high to the point where his merest gesture could engender massive approval from the fans.

But, he's also one of the most strictly below average in-ring workers in wrestling history.

Punch, stomp, spinebuster, People's Elbow, Rock bottom. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Rock's matches were pretty much always the same, had the same cadence, and the same tempo. In fact, Rock's wrestling was so mediocre when he first debuted as Rocky Maivia people chanted "ROCKY SUCKS" at the top of their lungs because he was being pushed in a Cena or Roman Reigns type way.

However, he turned heel and developed the genius character of the Rock, whose penchant for referring to himself in the third person and putting down interviewers, wrestlers, announcers, and even his own fans endeared him to the masses.

Why he was so successful anyway: During the Attitude Era, wrestling matches more closely resembled brawls. It was at this time the 'closed fist' rule became obsolete, and all of the wrestlers were throwing punches and stomps more than headlocks and suplexes. Also, his off the charts charisma and fantastic interview segments propelled him to legendary status.
