IronSheik Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Bret's scoring system comprises of 3 categories and a score out of 30: Look out of 10 Promos out of 10 Work ability out of 10 He gave himself 8 look, 7 promos & 10 work = 25/30 He gave Hogan 9 look, 9 promos, 1 work = 19/30 He gave Dynamite Kid 7 look, 0 promos & 9 work = 16/30 Using his system how would you score wrestlers of the past 50 years? How does a top guy today compare to a top guy from yesteryear? And do you agree with his assessments above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I score HBK a 26, just because Bret is a moaning old fucker and HBK will always be better than him. It’s like D.C. and Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like D.C. and Jones. Don't worry, we can add a negative score for impact on current wrestling and reduce HBK to 16. Bret's harsh on himself. His promos are probably 6/10 rather than 7 but his look is 200/10. 😍 Post sponsored by Scott Steiner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking his score up to 36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If Bret looked like hogan he could have worked like hogan. Where I find this scoring falls down. Smaller guys work harder as have to use speed and technique. If you can slam, book and drop a leg as you are big, why would you fuck about softening a leg etc. Hogan is a super worker when it comes to effort to result. And still ended up with his body in bits.

There's no real system that would work because at the end of the day only two things matter, what draws money and what you personally like. You can't make points for that, which is why wrestling is so eminently debatable. If you are using the system, then as you say, it's still all relative because what working means varies completely. Bret is the GOAT as far as I'm concerned. He's utterly brilliant. But as much as I've always hated the orange goblin, you can't deny that he's also brilliant at the way he works the people. He has flaws if you want to view wrestling as an athletic contest but he still score highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 System doesn't really work for Undertaker, unless you only focus on certain eras. He's been wildly different in the three categories over the decades, well maybe not in promos. First 3 names that came to mind to try this: Charlotte Flair Look - 9 Promos - 5 Work - 8 Mark Henry Look - 7 Promos - 10 (I only remember one but it was perfect, you know the one!) Work - 6 Mr.Perfect Look - 9 Promos - 7 Work - 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
