Ultimate Warrior is banned or at last should be censored at all times

I just assume they’re all pretty problematic at one level or another although yes, I did here he went all in for Trump style racism and awfulness.

But I only watched a bit of WWE (F as was) back around 1991 so those are the only two I recall.

We probably do need to cover him and Hogan though

Benoit too probably

We need to do Antonio Inoki just to discuss all the wild stories.

Ooh that’s a good shout, obviously want a decent amount of Japanese guys but aware they may have a lot less reach so can’t go nuts

This sequence is so gorgeous. I know it’s equally Owen (also a 5) but goddamn

Should be a 5 for this alone

Btw this is the video Rich mentioned earlier, really fascinating hearing Austin talk through arguably the greatest WWE match of all time:

Greg would be a 0 from me. In the same bracket as Shane Douglas and Kevin Sullivan. Awful looks, automatic switch off and scratching my head wondering why they lasted that long. Ziggler would be a modern example.

Also the stories of how FOOKED (shout out The Lapsed Fan) Davey was at SS92 and how Bret calmed him down and guided him through. More 5 criteria.

I’d still call them fairly new-school :smiley:

80s WWF is where it was at! :smiley:

5/5 for Bushwackers music - best theme in WWF history.

Koko was really popular when he started out - nice double takedown of the Islanders at WM4. Not a great deal after that though.

Disapponting lack of Bret talk itt

My mileage may vary depending on eras, but Bret was big when I was super into it as a preteen. Always preferred Owen - the high flying stuff did for me and he was a more interesting character. Their match at Wrestlemania 10 was a highlight of my childhood. Recorded it off the telly and literally wore the VHS out.

4 for Bret
5 for Owen

Great in-ring work, iconic look, too himself far too seriously, dull as ditchwater.

3.5 rounded up to a generous 4.
