Hello everyone, I'm OG and today I'm going to talk about some certain wrestlers who I honestly believe were very underrated and I believe should've got more credit in their respected career.
Few notes before I begin with the list:
1.My lists usually aren't in a particular order, like this list.
2.Few weeks ago we achieved togetger a millestone, 10,000 views, and I would like to personally thank each and everyone of you for viewing my articles and giving me ideas and tips.
3. And one last thing, Roman/Joe, I would love to wish you strength and full recovery . Man You are a very awesome person. Stay Strong man! . God Bless. #ThankYouRoman
So here are my most underrated wrestlers of all time. let's Go.
Number One: Justin Credible.
Justin was a great talent, specially in ECW's late 90's. He was a part of the IMPACT PLAYERS along with Lance Storm, and they had a great tag team IQ and a fantastic in ring work. His best career days came in 2000, as he won the ECW World championship at CyberSlam, he held the belt for five months and lost it to Jerry Lynn, the title reign was good. Then about a year later. Justin came to WWE, where he formed the X FACTOR with X-Pac and Albert. The stable was for a short period but it was fun.
Another reason why I believe Justin needed to get credit, the man have one of the dopest Tombstone Pilledriver in the business. The "That's Incredible". The variation of this move is so smooth and great.
If you ask me, Justin Credible is very good talent, with great In ring skills.
Number Two: Dean Malenko
Dean's wrestling skills in my point of view were epic. He was a complete wrestler , fast, agile, great IQ, ring awareness. Character work, grappling skills.
And he's one of the reason WCW had a great Cruiserweight era at their time.
The feud of Dean vs. Chris Jericho was one of his best tenures ever. In 2000 he came to WWE as part of The Radicalz. his time in WWE ring got less success then the WCW/ECW days, but he still manage to bring talent to the table. I homestly believe that with a better push and more recognition , Dean could be a thing more to remember in WWE. He's more known for his WCW Days as i said.
And I find it kinda missed because Dean was pure skilled wrestler .
Number Three : Lance Storm.
Lance is a great late 90's technician, was trained by the Hart Family, He was in ECW along with Justin Creidble, as a great team "Impact Players". Lance and Justin's tag was very solid, they had great tools. Very great to see. Lance is known for being a type of wrestler who has genius in ring presence and IQ , the man was a pure genius in the ring, a great technician heel, And only Lance Storm could make a single leg Boston Crab pretty with the roll-through version he called the Canadian Maple Leaf.
In ECW&WCW he was a great valid part
And When he came to WWE, it didn't come as a shock, we knew he'll come there too. He came in The INVASION angle, he stayed in WWE for two/three more years. Lance won 4 Tag Team titles in WWE and 1 time Intercontinental belt. But i still think WWE Fans should've credit him more and see his WCW and ECW highlights. He was so great wrestler. I enjoyed a lot seeing him.
Number Four: Jerry Lynn
One of ECW's all time greats if you ask me, the man was known mostly for being a great mat wrestler with incredible counters. A great technical wrestler. He had a 25 year career (Started and ended on same date by the way, March 23)
In 1998/1999 Jerry Lynn enjoyes his prime as he feuds with Rob Van Dam from the ECW TV belt., the two wrestlers had a great chemistry, when they fought they looked like they know each other from A to Z. That was an outstanding rivalry which was one of ECW's great highlights.
In 2000 Jerry won the ECW World title as he defeat Justin Credible at the Anarchy Rulz PPV. He lost the title after a month. He lost the belt to Steve Corino
Jerry Lynn was the main event in ECW's final pay per view, Guilty As Charged in 2001, as he lost there to RVD.
Jerry came to WWE again in 2001, but it wasn't the same. They rarely used him which was very sad. Jerry left after a year.
I believe WWE missed a great chance with him. The man was really a great wrestler.
Number Five: Sean Waltman (X Pac/Syxx)
I don't know if you know that, Sean survived a big accident, as he was early in his career, Sean battled Bill Willcox,during a match Bill hit Sean with a Suicide dive, landed on Sean's head and driving him to a concrete floor. That caused a blood clot near his brain, he was hospetilaized for few days, and was out of action for almost 6 months. People advised Sean not to return to the ring ever again, but Sean returned and better then ever.
In 1993's RAW days, Sean as 1.2.3 Kid won a match against Razor Ramon, who was a star at that time, that win earned him a lot of respect.
Now as we fast forward to few years later. During the "Monday night wars" Sean Waltman was a feature in both WWF and WCW
In 1996 Sean joined NWO as Syxx, he was the 6th NWO member, he won the WCW Cruiserweight championship about a half a year since he joined the company, beating Dean Malenko, he lost the belt nearly 4 months after he won.
And a year later he joined WWF, in WWF Sean repackaged as X Pac, and day after WrestleMania 14 he was introduced by Triple H, to the DX stable. The X Pac character was Sean's prime in my view, as he improved in the ring and got more and more famous. During almost the whole Attitude Era, Pac stayed with DX. And he was a loyal member. He won the World Tag Team Title with Kane and won the European Title at this time. Eventough he got a success in WWE. I still believe he's underrated. Because in the ring he was a great wrestler, with skills and charisma, and still not a lot of people mention it. I do believe Sean Waltman is one of the top wrestlers in the late 90's era.
So there you have it, my top 5 most underrated wrestlers ever. Yes they all have in common that they come from the late 90's and early 00's era. That era was full and stacked with talent and big names, and a lot of other names could be recognized. That's also another reason why in my opinion, that time was the absolute best time to be a wrestling fan, whether it's ECW, WCW or WWE(F).
Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed.
