CL Punk Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I remember liking both Crush and Ahmed Johnson but I didn't like Zack Ryder until his Z! True Long Island Story videos where he tried to get over a fence and showed that he could draw money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sir Colin from Cardiff Posted April 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 Does the Mountie and then latterly the Quebeckers count? I loved that jailhouse match followed by the Jacque and Pierres title run. Loved has dastardly that shock-stick was. Bought it hook line and sinker as a kid. The noise the edited in sounds awful these days listening back. Wonder how anyone in the arena bought it. Thinking about it loved Men on a Mission from back then too. Oscar's rapping to the ring was immense. Only the face version though. The heel run and King Mabel was absolute gash and I can't think of anything positive about it.

AdamTH17 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Bad Luck Fale. A hopeless, immobile lump who has about two good matches a year but he's funny as fuck. He embraces the fact he's shit, but he's still getting paid - so why should he care about what people like us think on the internet? Love him.

On a similar note to Nick Gage, I adore The Necro Butcher. Looked like absolute shite and couldn't work a lick but he had this real odd charisma and would put himself through the worst shit possible, I wouldn't want to see anyone do that now but at the time I loved it.

I don't think it's anything to do with the fact that he "got himself over", so much as his YouTube videos presented him as a nerd and a schmuck, so that's how he was booked in response.

I kinda liked him because he's such a huge nerd. I like it when we see that the guys and gals that are now professional wrestlers were fans first, I find that almost endearing.

It’s different times and the nature of how people get into/start wrestling has massively changed. But just about everyone there now was a fan first (except Lesnar) and they’ll be presented as such in some form of WWE content somewhere. It was used really effectively back in the day with Mick Foley, but too many now do come across as nerds that found their way to WWE rather than larger than life superstars. There was still plenty of wrestlers from the 80s and 90s that were fans first, you’d almost never get them presented as such though, which helped make everything seem like it was all from this fascinating, mental, magical other world.

Which is fine, but it doesn't translate to a successful wrestling persona - he presented himself as a goofball and a lovable loser, then his fans were annoyed that he was booked to lose.

For me, the absolute best fat monster wrestler ever was Earthquake, but he was actually really good; with V, it was like there was something about his wrestling style that I couldn't get into as Mabel or Vis, but for some reason, something "clicked" into place with his last incarnation.
