10 Incredible Wrestlers Who STILL Don't Get The Praise They Deserve

10. Juice Robinson

CJ Parker’s slow-burning rebirth as a hard grafting babyface underdog has been a treat to watch. If there’s one thing that has often weighed down Juice Robinson’s exceptional character development though, it’s his utterly ridiculous fashion sense.

Presented in New Japan as a brave but often outmatched eccentric, Robinson’s blunt, crude and emotional promo work is best-in-the-world calibre. Speaking with a level of realism and grit sorely lacking in many babyface acts these days (bar a certain Anxious Millennial Cowboy), it’s easy to get invested in the guy’s journey

Despite his strong connection with Japanese audiences and sterling in-ring work, Robinson has never escaped the midcard. His IWGP US title runs ultimately did little to bolster his credibility and, in 2021, he is mostly languishing in the IMPACT tag division.

While his teamwork with David Finlay is on point, it feels like a waste of someone who should be moving into main events. IMPACT could do with a few fresh babyfaces near the top of the card right now. If Robinson commits to the promotion moving forward, he would be a perfect fit.

His matches and promos with new monster champ Moose practically write themselves. As it stands, this is a charismatic, colourful character not getting the praise he deserves. Hopefully that changes in 2022.
