What the fucks going on in your Sig pic? Please dont tell me that WWE in Germany and Bradshaw doing that Nazi salute. If so, he should of been arrested on the spot.

I always thought D-Lo was a dope as fuck wrestler. Used to love watching him. His moves where so cool. The Lo-Down and Sky high, running power bomb. Dopeness. He and two Cold scorpio would of made a dope tag team.

I dont agree with anyone on your list though really. Dean and Saturn where never under rated, there was just noway for a company such as WWF/WWE to use them. Their characters where Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn which was good in WCW but was never gunna fly in WWF/WWE. Saturn in his ECW days = dope but from then on he went down, but he was never unrated, just never really good enough to be a main player.

Cronus was good for a big guy. But nothing special. He was like Test a bit. Good ability but again not a good all rounder.

Bam Bam was agile for a fat man.

2 Cold, yeah he was good. Ok. A bit under rated.

lance is in the same boat as Saturn and Malenko.

D'Lo Brown has hella talent for a cat his size, I don't know why the wwe never pushed him hard.  His mic skills was coo and the strut was infamous lol.

taka michinoku & kaientai was tight when they first came to the wwf, I liked there gimmick but the wwf fell off with that to.

Papi Chulo aka Essa Ríos was a nice wrestler but I guess the fact he couldnt speak english held him back in the wwf

Lance Storm and Justin Credible (in the wwf) they were the business in the ecw but the wwf slept on them real crucial.

i don't remember Cronus or Scorpio much.

Lance Storm was a great wrestler; his mic skills were ok.
The dancing gimmick he had was hilarious IMO.

Dean Malenko was also cool; i remember watching some of his matches with Jericho back in WCW.

Saturn was good; they made him fall off after that whole Moppy crap.

I remember Bam Bam in the WWF; i dunno where he went after that and what not.
I hated him when he was a heel, which meant he was doing his work well.
R.I.P. to him as well.

weird, was bout to make a similar thread after watching wrestlemania 10, owen hart clearly overshining his brother but it was still bret who went on to be the top guy, taking nothing away from bret(best there ever was) but owen never went past the mid-card level.

i suppose this is more that he was underrated backstage in the wwe, cause wrestling fans did know his qualitys


another couple, rick rude - made wrestlers look better than they were, should have been world champ at some point
triple h - this guy gets so much stick, was much better when he wasnt so big, he used to do spinning heel kicks lol

i have a feeling that if it wasn't for Owen's death, he could've probably gotten that push.

Hennig and Rude were two guys that should've also gotten that big push.
Robert Roode in TNA sort of reminds me of them, except he isnt being used properly which sucks cause he could also be a top heel in the industry IMO.

D-Lo accidently dropped Droz and broke his neck during a house show match. Since then he dropped off in booking. It was a horrible accident, and D-Lo paid and Droz still can't walk.

i dont agree with n e thing u said.... i'm talking about their whole wrestling career...as of right now they dont get mentioned as greats when indeed they were...and they are overlooked...watch saturn in ECW and watch cronus in ECW...cronus is no test lol...u dont know wat i'm talking about when u compare him to test...the same with scorpio...dude can move with his weight...he was a high flyer...those are prime examples...the same with bam bam...he wasnt just agile for a fat man...he could move like a lightweight...vader was ajust gile for a fat man...check them out again man...and yea it is jbl in germany lol

Scott Hall, but that was his own fault. Good to very good worker. Great talker. Great personality. Amazing ability to get over. He just never wanted it bad enough. In WCW all he had to do was ask for a chance to run with the belt, but a lack of desire and a substance abuse problem kept it from happening. he was better than Nash in every category and Nash had the top belt in both Feds for a while.


I'll always blame McMahon's childish tactics for Owen's death. Owen was ready for the main event right after they screwed Bret. The crowd was aching for it, but asshole Vince McMahon wanted to stick it to Bret so much he purposely stuck Owen in stupid angles and killed his push on purpose. If Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin never got into pro wrestling Vince McMahon would be in the internet porn business.

it happened at a smackdown taping in ny.  I knew a lot of people that actually saw it live.
