I would have to say Goldberg. Goldberg sucked in the ring and on the mic. Here is all Goldberg did each match...kick, kick, punch, punch, Spear, Blarg, Jackhammer, whos next

but Hogan could always work a crowd, and he still can. Deep down I know a lot of haters secretly respect Hogan.

Goldberg,Hogan,Warrior,maybe Lex Luger. There have been others but I believe these 4 are the most overated.

Yes Hogan could work a crowd but he sucked when it came to wrestling skills.

Luger's a good choice.

Kevin Nash too. I mean, he was kinda charismatic, but not THAT charismatic, and we all know he was terrible in the ring

I'm seriously waiting for someone to say HHH, and then try to explain why.

I agree with most of the above nominations:

Hogan sucked in the ring, but was a great entertainer (though I never really bought into it - he did something right), so I don't think he's the worst because his charisma made up for his inability to work a good match.

Warrior sucked in the ring too. He was horrible at promos, so the only thing that saved him was his gimmick. For some reason, I LOVED this guy but hated Hogan as a kid....go figure.

Goldberg isn't the greatest worker or promo guy - he's kind of like the Warrior in that his gimmick made him. His matches were more watchable than were Hogan or Warrior's, IMO.

Lex Luger sucked all-around. Not a good worker, not a good promo guy, and really not a good gimmick. Good thing he had a million dollar body, otherwise he would've been working at Burger King. Probably the most overrated ever...

Kevin Nash was always agonizing to watch. He simply wasn't a good worker, and I didn't think he was that good as a promo guy, either. Fortunately, his hand as a founder of the nWo helped him in the entertainment department, so that saves him from being all hype.

There are other sucky guys, I'm sure, but for my money, it doesn't get any worse than "The Total Package" Lex Luger. What a joke...

I would say Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, both guys I just never really felt that they had "it".

Hmm, I would disagree on Scott Hall. I thought he had mad charisma, and while I'm not an expert in wrestling skills, he did have that awesome ladder match with Shawn Michaels at Wrestle Mania X. That should count for something.
