WWE is the big dog in the wrestling world, now, then, and we’ll see.
In truth I love a lot about WWE but the polotics allow some massive oversight.В I know Vince is the guy looked at for unleashing star power in a lot of top names.В But Justin Gabriel is just one in a ton of names overlooked and denies the push their abilities truly allow.
So today in honor of WWE’s endless list of misused talent, I offer you the top 5 guys who are misused of underrated!
#5: Mark Henry
First of all this man is one of the strongest on earth literally.В Secondly he has been one of the most dominant in ring personas in the WWE.
Henry has had a great career inspite of being Sexual Chocolate and part of Mae Young giving birth to a hand.В The man is a modern day Vader but with out the moonsault and cool mask.
Yet he has never held the WWEs top prize and may in fact be one of the greatest future Hall of Famers to never win the big one.В So with such a dominant presence, yet so little time as the top guy, I feel Mr. WSM truly belongs as one of WWEs top underrated superstars.
#4: Kofi Kingston
I do not feel WWE is truly racist, maybe some people in the company are but I won’t claim that as a trait of WWE.В However with Booker T going in to the HOF with never having held the WWE top gold, the same to be said for Ron Simmons, and the first two underrated guya on our list being African American, I can see why people may think that.
Here is a top talent, a human highlight reel, the fuy to watch at the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank who never wins it.В A man who has never been given a big push at the top, and one of their best all round atheletes and personalities.В In fact you could make a drinking game out of watching the WWE Network and taking shots everytime Kofi loses.
I think the New Day is just a good way to keep Kofi from leaving the WWE while pretending that one day he may get a push.В I like The New Day but with no Shield and no Wyatt family or even 3MB I feel all three men will simply be kept as talent to help puah top guys.
Only time will tell and I hope all three members of New Day get a righteous push, but until then Kofi leads their pack on this list as one of the top overlooked and underutilized talents in WWE recent history.
#3: Jack Swagger
Ok when Swagger started I wasn’t a fan. He had to grow on me and he did.В With Cesaro he formed a tag team that was over and getting hotter wih each feud, then they kill the team all together?
It is official, WWE hates tag teams!В But none the less Swagger started getting his own big following as a face against Rusev, then lost multiple times to the overrated Russian manbeast.В Then Swagger became irrelevent cause WWE sometimes just can’t decide to do with talent.
Don’t bother give Swagger a match to shine with, lets have Cena and Triple H banter for the first hour of the three hour program!
Look don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of Triple H and even learned to respect Cena but shut up and wrestle guys.
More matches to build up more talent would really help this shallow roster.В WWE has stars ready to be made and all they need is the time to shine, Swagger has the connection with the crowd, the skills, WWE size, and moves to be a top guy.В But alas he is still getting overlooked like so much great talent.
#2: Big Show
Andre the Giant was undefeated for 15 years and Big Show is twice the athlete Andre was.
The fact that show ever loses should be a shock to all, but how often is why I put Big Show on the list of WWEs most underrated talents.В Mock him as slow and not agile, don’t care cause every move he does is giant. His strength is unequalled and Show is a legitimate giant.
Yes he is future HOF, and yes he has had a stellar career, but with all the jokes and crybaby sessions he has been given by Vinny Mac, I feel show has only had half the career he could have if he was more realistically used.
#1: Cesaro
The Swiss Superman is adored by the WWE universe.В An Indy Darling with endless physical prowess and skill. В Finally given a push by winning the Andre Battle Royal at Westlemania XXX and made a Heyman guy!
Then WWE promptly does nothing with him.В Take away Heyman with no significant point to the union, and no new titles to my recollection.В So now he teams with Tyson Kidd, another under appreciated talent to form another new excellent tag team.
I would normally be psyched about the team, but I know WWEs track record wih tag teams.
Kudos for the two knowing that a tag team is a good way to stay relevant.В Truly I hope it will help both men excel to main event status.В Regardless Cesaro is a perfect wrestle with uncanny strength, remarkable execution, and an exciting ring presence.
So I will end this article by saying “We the people” want to see Cesaro and the rest of this list get the push they deserve!
So who do you want to see get more attention by the WWE? Let your voice be heard and comment below!
