To be given to the wrestler who really has little talent, but has a large
place in the spotlight nonetheless. This is a measure of how undeserved a
wrestler's push is.

C. JOSEPH HOFFMAN: Amazing that in my opinion that three former memebers of NWO are extremely overrated?
HIRO: Chyna shouldn't be allowed to wrestle men anymore. She would logically fare better in the women's ranks, but as we all know Western women's wrestling is crap at the moment. Her second and third Intercontinental win should not have happened at all. Kevin Nash is semi-retired, but somehow always gets himself into the main event picture. X-Pac is not the same X-pac that we used to know.
OTTO HEUER: Most Overrated Wrestler--This was another that was hard to narrow down to three, but I ended up with one guy from each fed, plus a bunch of runners-up: 1st: Tazz 2nd: Justin Credible 3rd: Shane Douglas 4th: Mr. Ass 5th: Kevin Nash 6th: Rhino 7th: Goodfather 8th: Hulk Hogan 9th: Rock 10th: Rikishi
DEAN RASMUSSEN: Rob Van Dam sucks. I saw him live this year! Fruity embellishments, crappy kicks and punches, longer minutes of posing between moves. YIKES! Jeff Jarrett has waaaay to many guys whose opinion a deeply respect fooled into thinking that he is some kind of topflight worker. Billy Kidman was SOOOO a Juventud creation.
CHRIS BIRD: Kevin Nash can barely walk. Kevin Nash can barely do any of his moves any more. Kevin Nash can barely do a BIG BOOT for crissake. Why is Kevin Nash so prominent in this year's booking in WCW? I DON'T KNOW! Chyna is a crappy wrestler. Chyna can't take major bumps. Chyna's voice grates on my ears like fiberglass being torn up by a phys-ed major. Chyna doesn't get consistent face heat. Why has Chyna spent most of the year feuding with Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero? I DON'T KNOW! Sandman takes two minutes to go to the ring, not because it's dramatic, but because he's out of shape. Sandman is the past. Why is Sandman main-eventing in ECW? I DON'T KNOW! (Honorary I DON'T KNOW for Billy Gunn, who luckily was injured most of the year and thus did not get that much chance to be pushed beyond his ability, which is not great to begin with. Next year, Billy G!)
BRUNO PULVER: Rikishi fucking sucks. I wonder, how many times a week he has to perform full cavity anal rimming on Vince McMahon to get a push
MICHAEL BANKER: It's not that I think that Jericho is BAD, but he's
nowhere near as good as everyone seems to think that he is. He might be
that good eventually, but right now his interviews are one-dimensional and
his ring work is often sloppy (see Survivor Series against Kane).
JASON BOUGGER: Booker T. This guy just isn't ready yet.
MARK POLISHUK: RVD calls himself the whole f'n show, but I propose that
his nickname be changed to Major League Baseball. For every minute of
action, there are ten minutes of stalling.
ADAM FROM TORONTO: Jericho is just plain sloppy. If I had a nickel for
every blown spot, I'd have enough money to buy him some WCW tapes (to show
him when he was actually funny.)
MATTHEW HEMING: The only question for worst anything is the specific
order of Nash, Hogan, and Luger.
LAGMONSTR: No Austin? He'd be my choice hands down.
ROBERT STRUPP: Billy Gunn has no talent, no charisma, and has no business
being in the top federation. Vampiro added nothing to WCW, and provided
nothing but horrible interviews and wrestling matches. I think one of the
reasons Sting gets such a bad rep right now, is that horrid feud he had
with Vampiro. Rob Van Dam may be the most over man in ECW, but there's a
reason that Tazz, the Dudleyz, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome got deals with
the Big Two, and he didn't.
BEN WEINER: I vote in the name of tradition.
DEVON: The real Ninth Wonder of the World is how Chyna still has a career
in wrestling. I picked Mike Awful second because so many people seem to
think he is this great monster heel, when he is really just a goofball
with horrible mic skills and a bad haircut who can't wrestle. Lance Storm
can wrestle and is decent on the mic, but he is just so damn annoying.
His "Canadian Hero" gimmick is terrible, and he can't seem to work up
enough emotion to make a second facial expression.
ALEX GIPSON: DDP drives me nuts; while I admire how hard he works in the
ring, he only occasionally seems to be able to deliver on his own without
the aid of a good partner (i.e. Benoit, etc.), and it unfortunately
exposes him for how mediocre he really is these days. Kind of sad,
unfortunately, for a guy who gave Bill Goldberg his best match ever two
years ago.
CHRIS OSTER: Easiest category so far to pick. Where would Chyna be
without Triple H or her plastic surgeon? She's been pushed so far down
our throats, it's making me gag. Billy Gunn runs a close second, while
