ZIGGLER: "One of the ones that I was a huge fan of growing up, and still am a big fan of, is Billy Gunn from The New Age Outlaws. He's very athletic, he looks like a million bucks, he's like 6'5'' or 6'6'', stronger and more athletic than almost everybody else. He was just fun to watch no matter what he was doing. Week in and week out, he was always almost near the top, but he never quite got to the top. He even won King of the Ring, and it seemed like he was going places. He just never got to the full-time main event status that I thought he would, but man, that guy was a hell of a competitor. Looked great, made others look great, and looked like he gave it all every single time he went out there, which I'm a huge fan of."

WWE CLASSICS: During his more than 10-year WWE career, Billy Gunn was one half of three highly successful tag teams, but hardly remembered for his extraordinary singles talents. As alluded to by Ziggler, Gunn won the King of the Ring tournament in 1999 at the height of WWE's popularity, and went on to face off with The Rock at SummerSlam. Afterward, he formed a unique partnership with Chuck Palumbo, but mostly faded into obscurity. There is no doubt that Gunn's talent translated into longevity and championship success, and while his tag teams are looked back on fondly, Gunn himself is an underrated performer. Ziggler, who clearly shares many attributes with his selection, must strive to achieve what Gunn never did: win the WWE Championship.

It was late 2001, and WWE was in the throes of an Invasion.

The McMahon family’s high stakes "game of thrones" was reaching a fever pitch as The Alliance, consisting of WCW and ECW competitors, threatened WWE’s Superstars for squared circle supremacy.

When WWE Champion and leader of The Alliance "Stone Cold" Steve Austin arrived on the Oct. 25, 2011, episode of SmackDown, he was more than ready to "raise  hell." That was because his faction had recently dropped four titles to WWE’s Superstars. Throwing every Alliance member from the ring – save Shane and Stephanie McMahon – Austin drew the proverbial line in the sand, demanding that someone step forward to challenge Chris Jericho for his WCW Title. To determine who was best suited to face Y2J, The Texas Rattlesnake ordered Commissioner William Regal to make an official Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal Match between the Alliance members.

With a volatile and dangerous mix of WCW and ECW grapplers in the ring all at the same time, the Alliance Battle Royal had its share of memorable moments, including a massive powerbomb by Mike Awesome that sent Tommy Dreamer soaring over the ropes and crashing through a table at ringside! In the end, it would be Booker T that would emerge from the melee victorious, set to challenge Jericho later that night.

BRYAN: "My favorite guy to watch who you don't hear a lot about, who to me is a legend, is Billy Robinson. In Japan, he was considered a legend, and he trained a lot of the original shoot fighters, but his pro wrestling was amazing. He was probably one of the most technically gifted guys you'll ever see. As far as doing cool, legitimate stuff on the mat, there's nobody better."

WWE CLASSICS: Few members of the WWE Universe have heard of Billy Robinson, let alone know his credentials. His only notable appearances in North America came in the AWA, where he was the British Empire Heavyweight Champion. He also defeated former WWE Superstar Dino Bravo, and battled then-WWE Champion Bob Backlund in a 60-minute matchup. Although he never won an AWA Championship, Robinson had classic rivalries with WWE Hall of Famers Verne Gagne and Nick Bockwinkel, and had a notable bout with Antonio Inoki, another WWE Hall of Famer. There is no question Billy Robinson is supremely underrated.

EVE: "You know, hands down, I would have to say John Laurinaitis. He was huge in Japan. He was so innovative, he was so athletic, and now we see him as General Manager of both Raw and SmackDown and EVP of Talent Relations, but he is an animal. He is incredible in the ring, and he's somebody that should definitely not be underestimated."

WWE CLASSICS: Eve might be speaking with a clear bias, but she has a point. Although Johnny's WCW tag team, The Dynamic Dudes, is mostly considered a punchline at this point, there is no doubting the success of Laurinaitis in Japan. Those knowledgeable about Japanese professional wrestling are well aware of his partnership with Kenta Kobashi, but are also a very niche fanbase in the States. While Laurinaitis competed against many of WCW's biggest names, he never crossed over to the premier of sports-entertainment, WWE, like many of his peers did. Although Johnny is credited with being the proprietor of the innovative "Ace Crusher" maneuver, Superstars that followed in WCW and WWE perfected it to win World Championships. Based on that, and being embarrassed by John Cena in his heralded return to the ring at WWE Over the Limit, we feel the General Manager of both Raw and SmackDown is a highly skilled executive, but ultimately not underrated.
