How about Ahmed Johnson? Although I suppose it was more him being pushed too early than being overrated

Wasnât much good in the ring, either. I can remember him having a match with Bulldog in 1995 where Davey did all the wrestling and Nash won

Canât remember the PPV but one of the Bret Hart/Diesel matches was considered one of the best carry jobs in the industry done by Bret Hart. Nash got by on physique and look (one of the better looking âgiantsâ). Because he wasnât carrying anything else to the table

Stingâs a great wrestler. He is Mr WCW, for that exact reason when he moved to WWE he wasnât never used properly, cause McMahon is stubborn

Yeah, what should have been a coronation moment with Bret winning his 2nd world title was outdone with Nash jackknife powerbombing Bret twice after the pinfall.
Bret was unhappy about the second powerbomb
Since @SRCJJ is donning Hogan, thought Iâll change mine too. Sting winning at Superbrawl 98

Since we are in that era, Starrcade 97 has to be one of the most botched endings in any major event in wrestling history.
To this day, despite what Bischoff and Hogan say, it was botched because Hogan never wanted to put Sting over clean.

Nick Patrick too, a fast count was the planned finish for the Bret Hart intervention (even though that finish is nonsense too but whatever) and decided to listen to Hogan desires for a slow count. Moron. Sting & Bret Hart looked like chumps who robbed Hogan of his title. Which was absolutely Hoganâs plan.

Yep. Itâs criminal that Bischoff to this day wonât admit it.
Hogan has form for this anyway. He took the gloss of Takers first title win by claiming that Taker dropped him on his head which was complete bullshit. Weâve seen the video, Taker had him so well secured and locked in it wasnât possible.
He refused to drop the belt to Bret. He almost certainly only had WCW bring in Warrior in 98 so he could get his win back. And the loss he took to Warrior he basically kicked out at 3 anyway lol.
He just couldnât stand losing clean and as a heel, in 1997, losing clean to Sting wouldnât have damaged him in the slightest and would have been so good for business. Sting-Hogan was probably the best built match in wrestling history at that point (Taker-Kane a few months later at Mania isnât fat off)

I love these conversations lol.
Could read them all day and all night
Exactly the reason why I canât stand Hogan. That and heâs a flaming racist. He would politic his way into winning almost every match, not put anyone who was smaller than him over, and if he ever had to, he would still make himself look strong in the meantime.

Didnât he steal Warriorâs moment in WM6 by sharing the ring with him?
One could say he did the same with Macho Man at WM4.
Egotistical SOB is Terry Bollea
Yep, made sure he was up quick enough at the 3 count for Warrior and decided to come down for no reason at all at the end of Mania 4 and share the spotlight with Savage. Sure heâs added a lot to the business and made it what it was today (or at least played a big part in it) but he could only do that by pulling the creative control card, especially whilst in WCW. Just watch Bash at the Beach 2000 and youâll get a perfect example of it.

It was ridiculous as he was one of the few wrestlers who could eat a clean pin and never look any worse for it. Not to mention he was champion for an eternity (excluding the Luger win half way) and Sting was always over with the fans. The fans clearly wanted Sting to be champion.
Ironically his politicking he managed to run his own character right into the ground by 1999. Sting did a heel turn to win the title against him and the fans were going nuts for Sting.
Not to mention the excuse from Bischoff that Sting wasnât in shape is a load of horseshit. That guy defending Hogan at every angle is bizarre and highlights his poor leadership when it was needed the most compared to McMahon when the correct decision was made at Wrestlemania 1998 to put over Stone Cold despite Shawnâs bitching.

I always try to disassociate personal lives from wrestlers as much as I can I guess. I resent Hogan the man but love Hollywood Hogan the character.
Benoit is an evil murderer as far as Iâm concerned (Iâm with Heyman, I donât buy into the excuses people give about brain trauma) but probably one of the greatest workers ever. I could watch him work all day.
Obviously Benoit and Hogan arenât comparable but when it comes to wrestling and sports in general I try to disassociate as much as I can.

Hogan was never a real wrestler. It was just how he got rich and famous. Bischoff loves the guy and is never gonna bad mouth him but youâd love to know what Vince really thinks of him.
