Different strokes, I guess. I'm all the way with you that Michaels was overrated and Goldberg underrated, though. Jannetty was every bit the talent Michaels was, he just wasn't friends with the right people and too often let his vices get the best of him, which he himself readily admits to.

For my own unpopular wrestling opinions, Hogan over Flair, every day forever. Only further reinforced by being in the business for the last few years. Every single person in the biz will tell you, "The guy who makes the most money is 'The Best Worker', regardless of how many moves they do or don't have." I love them both, but Hogan's a global mega-star 20 years after his last super-good match, and Flair's only known by wrestling fans. "Hulk Still Rules", brother.

Well, Owen was pretty good in the ring, no question about it, but I've never found him really that charismatic or great on the stick. Never saw him as WWF/World champion material.

Hogan is the greatest of all time since wrestling, like you've said, is about star power and no one tops Hogan in that department. And speaking of Hogan, contrary to popular belief, he wasn't terrible in the ring. That being said, I've never been a fan of Hogan.
