TNA Star Named Most Overrated Wrestler Of 2011

[L.A.I.N.E.Y.]

^ Well, Punk isn't....

Neither are Orton or Morgan.

[Engaged To Ouellet]

Orton was pushed as THE guy on Smackdown for most of the year, he was used to bury any chance Christian ever has of looking like a Main Eventer, he wins basically every match all while having the personality of an ironing board and basic wrestling skills.

^ Exactamundo. Morgan is shit in the ring too, just a boring big man

[L.A.I.N.E.Y.]

Disagree entirely.

[DramaShark]

Agree to disagree

Isn't that the fault of the writers though? He's not a bad wrestler, but he has never been given a convincing and more to the point consistent personality. By "consistent" I don't mean he should have to be the same for ever with no character development, but he seems to change completely on a whim, like the time he said "we" all the time for a few weeks and then it just stopped. He seems to have done more turns than anyone else and you can't really get to know, let alone like a character what that keeps happening. Come on writers, don't panic and try something different every time you fail to get him over, play the long game and give us someone we can believe in.

its not the writers job to get morgan over its his job, the writers think of ideas and its up to the wrestlers to get it over.

I personally would have picked Robbie E but that's just me. Crimson shouldn't have gotten pushed so hard so fast (TNA's Goldberg) but they were being safe about it (teaming with Steiner early & now Morgan while not really beating or burying the major top names) instead of just having him run through everyone.

In Matt Morgan's case, they have given it to them & he never really ran with it. Lots of people from Mick Foley in his last book to Hogan in an interview a while back have said that Morgan is just missing that "it" factor. He's a good athletic guy for his size but his personality needs a huge change. The whole "arrogant intelligent giant" gimmick just isn't working & won't get him anywhere past midcard & semi-main event filler. Hogan pointed this one example out which I still remember as well in that his feud against Steiner, Scott buried him on the mic & all Morgan did was just keep complimenting him...he never had a good comeback. He needs an attitude or show some aggression & intensity like how those who were more limited like Sid Vicious or Scott Steiner used to do to where you really thought they were crazy or Kevin Nash/Diesel where he acted "so cool." Morgan just needs that IT to draw people to him.

its not the writers job to get morgan over its his job, the writers think of ideas and its up to the wrestlers to get it over.

This doesn't always apply as the writers have to give the talent something that has the potential to become something.
