There are a lot of wrestlers throughout the history of the business that many people believe to be incredibly underrated, with no correct answer to the question.
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle worked with many stars on the SmackDown brand in the Ruthless Aggression era, but it’s a more surprising name that he believes is the most underrated wrestler of all time.
Speaking on the Kurt Angle Show podcast, Kurt did a watchalong of the October 31, 2002 episode of SmackDown, which featured a Halloween party segment.
One of the names featured in the segment was Tajiri, who Kurt made a point to claim was the ‘most underrated wrestler of all time’.
He said:
“Most underrated wrestler of all time. Okay. This kid oozes charisma, okay? He didn’t speak English, but you could understand him. And you knew by his face was what he meant. He was just this kid.
“This is why he did a lot of stuff, like the Halloween party. He was a character at the party because they knew that he could make people laugh. That’s how Tajiri is. He’s very entertaining. WWE brought the entertainment out of him. Yeah. As far as his wrestling, he was incredible in the ring. I mean, his Japanese style was amazing, but his charisma was unbelievable.”
