10 most overrated legends in WWE history

Not everyone that’s called a ‘WWE Legend’ gas truly earned that moniker

#9 ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan

Yelling out ‘HOOOOOOOO’ is enough to be called a Legend in WWE, apparently

‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan had only a handful of major accomplishments in WWE. He was the first person to ever win a Royal Rumble match, but that was when the match was just a large battle royal and didn’t have any significance otherwise.

Other than that, Duggan didn’t accomplish anything else (Slammy Awards don’t count) – no other titles, no other great distinctions.

His only other ‘achievement’ of note wasn’t a good one: he was busted for drug possession while riding with the Iron Sheik. This made the papers and became an irreparable breaking of kayfabe, one that slowly began the process through which wrestling’s illusions became broken.

So while he might sometimes get a decent reaction for yelling ‘HOOOOOOOOOO’ in one of his surprise appearances, it’s hard to justify Duggan being called a WWE Legend.
