I recently posted a story about Scott Hall talking about how much ‘Mr. Perfect’ Curt Hennig meant to his wrestling career. This had me thinking about Curt and other superstars who were underrated in the WWE. I asked my followers on twitter who they thought was the most underrated WWE star in history and received a wide variety of answers. I guess it is difficult to pinpoint a single guy!
Here were some of the responses.
@InnerN3rd Shelton Benjamin is the first one that came to mind

@InnerN3rd Raven
— Joe Mauceri II (@Humanipathic) April 13, 2016
@InnerN3rd Luke Harper

@InnerN3rd A few come to mind.
Tyson Kidd, Stardust, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, The Miz, Luke Harper, Zack Ryder.— JenyTazz (@JenWrassle) April 13, 2016
@InnerN3rd Lance Storm or William Regal. Though you could argue Piper or Owen Hart for never being world champion.

@InnerN3rd Ted Dibiase. He was probably top heel in business for a run but isn’t talked about even as high as Piper or Roberts

@InnerN3rd Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Wade Barrett, John Morrison

@InnerN3rd as far as there skill sets and titles they won, I gotta go with Owen Hart! Other mentions John Morrison, Rick Rude, Cesaro

Thank you for all of the responses. I couldn’t include all of them but these were some of the top responses. Wrestling is subjective and fans are never going to agree fully on everything. Owen Hart was a name that came up a lot and the same with Raven.
Let us know in the comment section who you think is the most underrated WWE star of all-time. Let us know if you disagree with any of the posters above or if you think someone deserves a mention!
