I may be wrong..ok, I'm new so I sure I am wrong...
With that out of the way, isn't work rate really decided on how you adapt to different styles?
Triple H in his day had solid matches with anyone. Now he can barely move.
RVD misses moves but as a crowd pumper, he has to try them.
In his prime, I'd say Triple H was extremely talented. Now I doubt he can out work The Big Show.
Also, forearm shot would cause more damage than a punch I do believe.
