An overrated superstar is a star who is considered better and more important than he really is. Concisely, A star gets more praise and respect than he actually deserves. WWE management
Many WWE fans have complaints against WWE officials that they often push stars who are undeserving and overestimated. Hardcore fans admire ring-work and passion whereas Vince Mcmahon and company often admire star-power and physical looks.
Overrated stars often receive criticism from fans as such stars are considered unworthy and unsuitable for the position that they are in. A perfect example of an overrated star in the past is Hulk Hogan. Hogan was WWE's biggest star in the 1980s and early 90s, but when you look at his in-ring work and mic work, you realize that he didn't deserve all the success that he achieved.
Moreover, there were more skilled and talented stars like Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat who were way more deserving of the success that Hogan achieved. Likewise, stars like Goldberg and John Cena also fall under the same category. Fans believe that it is because of such stars like Cena and Hogan that many deserving stars are often overlooked by the WWE management.
On today's roster, many superstars are given more opportunities and privileges than others whereas many fans feel that they are ineligible for such concessions. Fans criticise such stars for their lack of skill and prowess. They feel that there are other stars who are much more talented than these overrated individuals yet such stars are often deprived of special opportunities.
WWE's roster is loaded with talented individuals, hence it is extremely tough for management to provide appropriate opportunities for suitable stars.
This article will focus on current WWE superstars who have achieved more success than they were worthy of or they have failed to live up to their potential and fans' expectation. Let's take a look at 3 of the most overrated stars on WWE's roster today.
3. Jinder Mahal
Jinder Mahal is a former WWE champion and a former United States champion. He is one of the top heels on the Raw roster and was in the main-event scene for much of 2017 on Smackdown Live.
With all due respect to Jinder, he didn't deserve to be WWE champion given that WWE had better options. Jinder's wrestling arsenal isn't that impressive at all. His ring-work is below par for a main-event calibre superstar. The Khallas is one of the least satisfying finishing moves in recent memory. Long chin-locks and countless punches with a small dose of superkicks and power moves are all we see in a match involving Jinder Mahal.
His matches are often boring and he rarely puts on a good match. Jinder is often 'carried' to good matches by the likes of AJ Styles and Seth Rollins.
His promos are often degraded with breaks and cracks in his voice. The only reason why WWE pushed him was to attract the Indian audience. WWE wanted to expand its fan base in India and wanted a face Indian fans could connect with.
Jinder isn't a main-event calibre superstar, he should stay in the mid-card and should never become world champion ever again.
2. Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin is a big guy who is around 300 pound and is 6ft 8 in. Vince Mcmahon loves big guys and sees potential in them, which is why he has pushed guys like Big Show. The mini-pushes that Corbin has received may be for that reason alone.
Corbin is a former United States champion and a MITB winner. Corbin doesn't possess the talent and skill a main-event calibre star should. He often botches promos, his character has gotten stale and his in-ring work isn't what you'd expect from a top star.
Other than the End of Days and the Deep Six, there is nothing entertaining and captivating in all that he does. He is one of the least interesting superstars on the Raw roster.
Corbin has fallen down the pecking order and is Raw's constable now. His current role as a constable is good enough for him. Corbin has been given many opportunities by the WWE management but he has squandered most of those and he hasn't lived up to the management's expectations which is why he doesn't deserve more importance.
1. Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley isn't nearly as good as people say he is. He's just a shadow of what he was in TNA. His promo skills are just awful. He has messed up every promo segment he has been a part of. His mic work makes Roman Reigns look like a better talker. Even after a ten-year hiatus, there is little development in his work as a superstar.
His ring-work is inadequate for a top star. His finisher is a stalling suplex which is one of the most basic moves today. He hasn't had a great match since his return even though he has been paired with world-class stars like Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.
His character has been tarnished due to terrible booking and acting. In other words, Lashley hasn't played his character the way he should have. Lashley doesn't belong in the main-event scene as he lacks great mic work.
There were huge expectations from Lashley after his return to WWE, but unfortunately, he has failed to live up to fans' expectations.
