I honestly think Finn should be most overrated this year.

Hmm yes, the perennial midcarder who never held a belt in 2017 (and was injured for half the voting period) is definitely more overrated than former world champ Bray Wyatt, former world champ Jinder Mahal, and Survivor Series captain Shane McMahon.

Is the award for wrestlers who the company considers more valuable than they are, wrestlers who other readers/listeners themselves think are better than they are, or who all fans in general think are better than they are?

Eli Drake would be my vote for most overrated if anyone cared about TNA one way or the other, and for the fact that I think he's overrated by Dave specifically.

Sexy Star on the basis that she shouldn't have been pushed anywhere to begin with and is still being pushed in places after she shot on Rosemary

I wonder who is getting most underrated? Hopefully not Cesaro, Harper probably has it locked up

It's Gran Metalik but he's so underpushed that most of the voting bloc might've forgotten about him... and no one watches 205 live

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Sexy Star should've won most overpushed last year but definitely given this years fiasco

And thank you for reminding me Gran Metalik exists because that is the correct answer that I had to be reminded that on the WWE roster is one of the best luchadores in the entire world and forgetting he exists isn't difficult

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
Yeah I feel like the most viable contenders (in wwe) for underrated/underpushed are in either 205 or NXT. Finn's been in bad feuds sure but everyone seems reasonably well slotted on the main roster apart from the aforementioned overpushed people.

e: I feel like they could probably be doing more with Apollo Crews

Show Dave that indie wrestling matters and vote Cody for Best Box Office Draw.

Forgot to mention it earlier but Dave 100% not saying Conor does cocaine was a fun part of WOR.

Outside of Conor who'd be next in line for Draw of the Year though? WWE house show attendance is dropping and Mania is sold on name alone. Okada or Naito I guess cause they've grown New Japan business, and maybe someone from CMLL.

Just as easy to quantify as ‘most over-pushed’. Cody and the Bucks are the easy answer there.

If you are a fan and are voting for who the fans think is the most overrated in a fan voted award it is impossible for the winner to be the person the fans are overrating the most.

Dave really should just change the official wording to over/under pushed to clarify the situation and avoid these arguments every single year tho

If Dave cared he would have changed the name over 30 years ago when Hulk Hogan: Most Charismatic Wrestler In The World, was also Most Overrated.

he's talked about it before and has some dumb reason why he won't change the name that i don't remember. maybe the reason is just because it's always been called most overrated so why change it now.

I think the Rock's reactions are gold but the greater bulk of the segment is pretty lame, mostly carried by said reactions plus Mankind being so endearing as a character.

I thought the only reason it really endured is because The Rock and Mankind are so good at what they do. You could give that same segment to two others and it wouldn't work anywhere near as well.

The Pat Laprade interview with Dave and Bryan on the latest Observer Radio is a really fun listen - Laprade keeps them both on track when they start derailing into some well worn arguments/debates and his bit about Montreal Screwjob Truthers is hilarious.
