Curt Hennig - A wresTLer who never held the top belt in WWF or WCW, but deserved to, can make any opponent look good.

Elix Skipper - Deserves to be in the Big Time wrestling in WWE, but would most probably be misused.

Chris Kanyon - Known as The Innovator Of Offence, if you seen any of his matches you would know why, pulls of some crazy moves and holds, a talent misused by the WWE.

Chris Benoit - Pound For Pound, the best wrestler in the world, PERIOD!
If you can think of any feel free to add.

i think theyre all more or less equally talented (except for willliam regal, who gave his flabby ass a job?)
its just a matter of who gets the best storyline

Are you crazy? Given the chance Regal could have been great. Watch his heel promos, the one on Hogan is a good start. Watch his match with Benoit and multiple others when he's given more than 10 minutes.

chris kanyon is the greatest of all time. could wrestle, bump, and talk; a rarity. sad to see his career end without being given a real chance
-
If I remember well Bam Bam Bigelow was kinda underrated.I wouldnt call him the best or sth but he was good.
-
alll that matters is what they are told to do, can't really compare them
-
Just about everyone named in this thread had a lucrative wrestling career, you think they are underrated becuase they were never world champs? didnt Kanyon hold the WCW belt for a while? I'll say these people were trashed when they got to WWE but they were certainly not underrated.
-
Definitely Kanyon. That guy was dope black in the day.
-
RIP CURT HENNIG

Vader is underrated in the US after his stint in the WWE,
Kanyon defo underrated, he had the ability in the ring & was able to talk on the mic
Also underrate is Dean Malenko, William Regal, Too Cold Scorpio, Lance Storm & Justin Credible
Brian Pillman & Owen Hart also vastly underrated

There's about 5 wrestlers that I think were on par with the best of all time, but aren't ever remembered that way.
Curt Hennig like already said... he was just raw talent, I'd even say he's a more naturally gifted athelete than Ric Flair, he just hasn't had the career Flair has had and isn't as good on the mike. The last match I saw of Hennig was on TNA, he wrestled David Flair... he said that Flair probably didn't show up, like his daddy used to no show, and that David was such a scrub he wouldn't even put his tights on to wrestle him, so he wrestled out of shape David Flair in his fucking jeans and cowboy boots and still was flawless. Curt Hennig is incredibly underrated, easily one of the most talented wrestlers to ever get in the ring.
Scott Hall - Last Call Hall will always be remembered for being a drunk, but even up to his last few matches in the WWE, even clearly out of shape he was fucking phenomenal. His ringwork from around the time they started the NwO was head and shoulders above pretty much anyone in the company at the time, but he'll always be remembered for being a drunk, and not for being a phenomenal wrestler.
Ted Dibiase - As far as fun and talent, this guy had it all. Underrated, though, because you'll never see him on a 'great wrestler' list, but I think he was great.. he had awesome mike skills, and was a talented athlete in the ring. Great Gimmick, too.
Ravishing Rick Rude - Great wrestler, Great gimmick, Great physical conditioning, great mike skills, really , REALLY had the total package, was one of the most underrated ever, because he doesn't even get a passing mention or a R.I.P. anymore.
Those 4, along with Flair, Hogan, and Savage are my favorites, but Flair Hogan and Savage I can't really call underrated. Under the right circumstances, I think these 4 could have been listed as legends alongside Flair Hogan and Savage.
