Yeah, unless the NWA or WWWF Tag Team titles count as a major title, I can't think of a worse in-ring worker.

Halloween Jack posted:In that case, Haystacks Calhoun is probably an even worse worker than Great Khali. Khali is at least a legit 7-footer. Haystacks was just a really fat barefoot guy who somehow kept Ernie Ladd in a headlock. Khali fuckin' killed a guy.

Halloween Jack posted:Is he a better or worse worker than Bischoff or Arquette? Russo did put his body on the line, stupid and self-aggrandizing as it was. Arquette became a significantly better worker. Bischoff I can make no excuse for. Not sure I'd call the wcw hardcore title a major title though.

Bischoff did some really dumb poo poo as things went off the rails, primarily because he wanted to beat Vince personally and since Vince got in the ring, so did he, but I will say him taking the Powerbomb from Nash in the buildup to BATB 96 deserves some respect.

A very silly question: Did they ever make copies/replicas of the Hulk Hogan fist helmet for sale to the general public? If so, I think this could be another Hulkaraft project. And if not, then we* should try to hunt down the actual ring worn one to buy. *By "we" I obviously mean someone other than me, coz I can't be arsed.

I'd seen pictures of Hogan's "war bonnet" before, but I just noticed that the fist is wearing a ring. Also, why did he wear that thing to begin with?

What are some good examples of non-wrestlers taking a move extremely well? Incidentally, Lawler not piledriving Cole was the second worst part of their feud, worst part is all the rest of it.

Admiral Joeslop posted:What are some good examples of non-wrestlers taking a move extremely well? Maybe it doesn't quite count but David Arquette did precisely one wrestling move in the Ready to Rumble cage match at Slamboree: a top rope splash that Jeff Jarrett deftly evaded. Even knowing that he wasn't actually going to hit Double J, he went up with full confidence and sold the resulting bump quite well. Bless him, he could have been a lot of fun had he not had the world title thrust upon him.

So Glacier, Sin Cara and The Fiend have all used the "whacky lightning while having a match" gimmick. Has anyone else done it? And was it ever good? I know people hated it for Glacier and Fiend.
