Show Notes
This week's topic comes from Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show listener Adam Redmond, who suggested a debate around one of wrestling's most divisive subjects: overpushed wrestlers.
With recent discussion surrounding Cody Rhodes, Shane and Morro ask a simple question that's anything but easy to answer: what does "overpushed" actually mean? Is it someone who wins too often? A wrestler consistently placed above more deserving talent? Or is it simply a case of fan perception?
As always, the parameters quickly disappear.
The lads each reveal their top three most overpushed wrestlers of all time, leading to debates around names like Roman Reigns, Triple H, Kevin Nash, the McMahon family, and the role of on-screen authority figures throughout wrestling history.
As you'd expect, plenty of tangents follow.
This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion. Next week, the pendulum swings the other way as the lads look at the most underpushed wrestlers in wrestling history.
