Paid Members Supremo Posted October 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) HBK loses a point with each spammed kick out in a Takeover main event. Bret loses all his points for that sit-down DVD he did with Shawn. That’s what I always come back to with those two. Despite clearly being both the better wrestler and better man overall, Bret manages to come off infinitely worse on that DVD by not admitting any fault whatsoever. Shawn’s out there holding his hands up and apologising for everything, whereas Bret just nods and continues to sulk. It’s amazing that I end up finding the druggy rapist more endearing.

Michael_3165 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hogan - look 10, promo 7, work 4 (21) Austin - look 10, promo 9, work 6 (25) Rock - look 10, promo 10, work 6 (26) Flair - look 7, promo 10, work 8 (25) Bret - look 8, promo 7, work 10 (25) Angle - look 8, promo 8, work 10 (26) Guerrero - look 7, promo 7, work 10 (24) Michaels - look 8, promo 7, work 10 (25) Reigns - look 10, promo 7, work 8 (25) Cena - look 10, promo 10, work 8 (28) Undertaker - look 10, promo 5, work 8 (23) Orton - look 10, promo 8, work 7 (25) Personally I would rate Bret, Michaels, Rock and Flair over Cena but by Bret's rating system Cena wins out. I also take into account average performance NOT specific time periods (for example, Bret's promos aren't based on that magical 1997 he had nor was Hogan based on his technical matches in Japan circa 1990). Flair was a good worker but he had the same match every time. His matches with Sting are literally the same match over and over. Michaels promos weren't all that good at all. His look was good but he was on the small side for that era. Undertaker really gets let down by his promos - his 1996-2000 in particular were the shits. Orton is an interesting one. He has the look and an ok promo but his work is bland as fuck and he is very hit and miss with how good and motivated he is. Cena had a brilliant look, a solid promo and he had some blinders with Michaels, Angle, Edge, Rock, Punk, Lashley et al. Austin should have rated higher but his matches in his peak years were not good. Kick, punch, stunner. Sure the crowd loved it but I rarely go back to watch an Austin match (barring those with Bret).

Maybe its looking back with 2020 eyes that gives him a dis-service. Andre in 1987 - work 1-2/10, promo 2/10, look 7/10 I think Roddy Piper would also be pretty poor for a top level guy. Barring his brilliant promos. I would rate him: look 4/10, promo 10/10, work 5/10. He simply had a few great showings but was a massive star for the actual level of ability he had.

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted October 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 6, 2020 Triple H would be up there for me. Look - 10 Promo - 8 Work - 8 (Probably alone in thinking that though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generous. He just looked so broken. The poor bastard. Clearly his name meant plenty and the novelty and execution of the angle was brilliant. It drew but it breaks this "system". 9 minutes ago, Michael_3165 said: I think Roddy Piper would also be pretty poor for a top level guy. Barring his brilliant promos.

You don't stand opposite Hulk Hogan in 1985 and have people take you serious if you don't look the part. His look declined but at his height, he was great. His work was good too. He only had great matches on occassion in the WWF but, again, you didn't get where he got without being able to work. It's another one where it's relative. Is he working like Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels? No. Is he incredibly effective and drawing more money than they ever would? Yes. I'd have him at least 25 overall.

Thought Piper looked in good shape against the King at KOTR 94. Did Piper actually ever wrestle on weekly programming or was he just a big time attraction?

libertine Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 But how much did everyone weigh at KOTR 94, that's the important question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 6, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2020 It's a daft system really. I've never thought it's been a decent measure of ability. It's not as simple to gauge someone's quality as it makes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started watching the WWF properly in 1992/93, I was obviously aware of Andre but only got to see him after first being familiar with Yokozuna. Obviously only having seen his 1987-90 stuff I remember thinking that Yoko was a way more impressive specimen than this French bloke that could hardly walk.
