10 Biggest Unsung Heroes Of WWE's Current Era
7. Oney Lorcan
Oney Lorcan is a perpetually underrated talent, the type of wrestler destined to be overlooked by most fans but appreciated by those who pay attention. He has been consistently delivering since 2017, making Drew McIntyre feel like the biggest star in the world during their masterful NXT TV match, and has produced fantastic tag team matches with his partner Danny Burch on a regular basis.
Lorcan is a phenomenal talent; able to work with a wide range of opponents. He can be squaring off with a cruiserweight on 205 Live or take on a towering giant on NXT, and he will fight as hard and as convincingly as possible against both.
Lorcan primarily functions as someone to elevate and put over other talents on the roster, recently making Timothy Thatcher look brilliant in their recent wars, but he deserves acclaim on his own. He has a distinctive moveset, some of the most convincing slaps and chops in all of professional wrestling and a naturally intense babyface demeanour that can rally fans behind him.
Since the pandemic era’s started, he’s been extra reliable in every match he’s had, making NXT and its stars look better and he deserves his credit for that.
