Guest M. Harry Smilac Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 Bob Holly could also be in there if it wasn't for his 1999/2000 hardcore work he did with Crash. Still doesn't change the fact Holly couldn't work then either.He just had to hit ppl with garbage can lids and other garbage. Gonna throw New Jack in there too.This guy did 2 things,hit you with trash and splash you on a table.If I saw a match were he broke out an actual wrestling move besides a pin i'd prolly faint.
Guest The Midnight Rocking Warrior Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 The Yeti/ Reese, Christ, he was bad.
Slickster Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Duggan used to be a great worker pre-WWF. I have to go with Mable. I can't think of him having a single match above *, yet he was around for years, won a KOTR and was the #1 Contender at the second biggest show of the year. The Mable vs. Moe submissions match from Memphis TV a few months back was WAY better than I expected... about **1/2. M.O.M. at war makes me very sad Here's a link to that full episode of Memphis Wrestling.
SinToxic Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Nikita Koloff, the original hoss of the 70-80's. Junkyard dog, although very entertaining. Kevin Sullivan is in the same boat.
Youth N Asia Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Sullivan could brawl and cut a promo though
Scroby Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 Gonna throw New Jack in there too.This guy did 2 things,hit you with trash and splash you on a table.If I saw a match were he broke out an actual wrestling move besides a pin i'd prolly faint. Prepare to faint, I've seen him do a suplex before and afterwards he even yelled out "See I Know how to do one move, I know how to do a suplex!" then had a funny grin on his face. This was on a 3PW dvd, I can't remember what it was actually called through, the main event was X-pac vs Sabu and the bonus match was a bodybag match with Sandman, Sabu, and New jack with New Jack being elimated first.
Youth N Asia Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 New Jack is someone I like, even though I know he's crap. You're lucky to get ** out of him, but he can be fun sometimes.
Guest Coffey Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 It has to be Horace Hogan. David Flair was too young, and he's getting a lot more experience now. He might not turn out too bad actually. Brutus Beefcake was fucking over when he was The Barber. I wouldn't have cared if he won the Intercontinental title. He worked fine during the early-mid eighties. Hell, even the early 90's. I wouldn't consider New Jack a wrestler. He's just fucking bat crazy. I've seen him do real moves too...in XPW against the "Diamond Dollar Man" he busted out snapmares, side headlocks, etc....then he stapled a dollar to DDM's head. LOL! Lex Luger was fucking fantastic in the late 80's early 90's to me. His fucking cage match with Barry Windham comes to mind. Hell, even his match with Danny Spivey was good...even if it was just Spivey hitting spot after spot with Luger no selling them all and kicking out of everything. Sullivan wasn't too bad. The double foot stomp finisher was trash, but he was at least entertaining. Big Reese was pretty bad. Still, I have to say Horace Hogan. Nikita Koloff, to this day, is one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time. I don't know what that pick was about.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 From the opening post, regarding Kane and the A-Train, I think that workrate and ability are constantly mixed-up. Kane and the A-Train are both great workers, and even have sizeable degree of ability. While they obviously wouldn't be my favourite workers of all time, I'll watch them.
Guest DeathBecomesYou Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 One guy who I always think of as being terrible was Kurrgan. Seeing him (and the rest of the Oddities) squashing Kaientai at Summerslam '98 still makes me sad.
Guest JMA Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 The Ultimate Warrior. The guy has wrestled for a while and was always near the top of the card. He couldn't wrestle a lick, couldn't cut a coherant promo, was sloppy as hell, and was legitimately crazy. His gimmick and look saved him. Of course, that's going by the criteria established in the first post.

Of course, that's going by the criteria established in the first post. Warrior has only had FOUR good matches....ever. Now thats pathetic. And here they are... Summerslam 89 vs. Rick Rude. Miracle here since Rude's WWF stint in-ring wise was terrible. I can barely remember any good matches of him vs people not named Roddy Piper (feud in the fall 89) Wrestlemania VI vs. Hulk Hogan. Complete carry job from HOGAN of all people. Wrestlemania VII vs. Randy Savage. Possible the only match Warrior actually tried hard, plus Savages crazy over the topness helped. Summerslam 1992 vs. Randy Savage. Not as good as WM VII, but still pretty good.
spman Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 Warrior ahd ahcraisma and was over though. His impact and contribution to the buisness absovles him from his shitty workrate.
Guest JMA Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Warrior ahd ahcraisma and was over though. His impact and contribution to the buisness absovles him from his shitty workrate. I don't think Warrior had charisma. He was over because of the way he looked and his "off the wall" gimmick. As for his contribution, I see none. Anyone with a great physique could've played his role. The Road Warriors and Sting contributed much more than The Ultimate Warrior.

JoeDirt Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 I remember the cage match being only around 10 minutes, and not very good at all. You're right, Warror is easily one of the worst of all time. No wonder he tanked as champion.
