In Wrestlemania 2000 for the N64 I used to take my created wrestler and beat Road Dogg in under a minute using both my front and back finishers, so he was cool for that!

Michelle McCool was part of LayCool. She also put over both Layla and Kharma in her final match. Jeff Jarrett's guitar attacks remind me of El Kabong and that's funny. Justin Credible was a solid worker amd his youtune videos on selling/ringwork are decent. Sable has aged well.

Michael PS Hayes' existence led to the best 3MB Gimmick Of The Week, the Fabulous Threebirds. Also, he seems to take great care of his hair.

Jerry Lawler is a historically important figure in wrestling. Torrie Wilson was probably not the source of the bad ideas which seemed to be glued to her every appearance. Randy Orton is only boring in certain contexts.

Jeff Jarrett's WCW ring gear makes everything else in wrestling look more heterosexual in comparison, so he's done some good for the business as a whole.

While I strongly disagree with anyone who says Jeff Jarrett belonged anywhere near the upper card (including Jarrett himself, probably), he was solid in the ring, an above average worker in his prime and dudes getting hit by gimmicked guitars is always fun (whether or not he drew a dime while doing it). In the defense of Hulk Hogan, it was probably a pretty huge blow to his ego to go from being one of the hugest megastars in the country in the 80's to wrestling more regional stars in WCW. Add this to every movie he's been in being box office poison, and I can understand why the dude would be so desperate to hang on to his spot in wrestling. This doesn't make it okay, just understandable from a human perspective. Also, one time he threw an enziguri in Japan and I marked the gently caress out when I saw it. Vince Russo is occasionally capable of very good ideas. He just needs a filter and, more importantly, needs to ADMIT he needs a filter. When he came into WCW, he gave gimmicks and stories to the midcard, which was A Good Thing in and of itself, even if the stories were... subpar. WCW had a great midcard and he recognized that and wanted to push it, and good on him for it. Also, he suffered a poo poo ton of head trauma shortly before the apex of his woman hating crazy bullshit in early 00's TNA so, while the stuff he wrote was loving garbage, it was clear the guy's brain wasn't firing on all cylinders at the time to me. Goldberg could have a convincing technical match; see: notorious Steven Regal match. Jerry Lawler is a creep, but he's done a LOT of entertaining stuff in his career ranging from the infamous Andy Kaufman stuff to his (pre-"puppies" obsession) heel announcer schtick in the mid-90's WWF. Glenn Gilberti is kind of a scumbag outside the ring and as someone else said, is an apologist for Russo's stupider poo poo, but he's possibly the posterchild for being saddled with the dumbest loving gimmick of all time and getting it extremely over. His lovely gimmick::overness ratio is legendary. I would argue that "dude who dances and wears bellbottoms" isn't too far removed from Red Rooster levels of terminally stupid poo poo and despite being nowhere near as good as Taylor was in the ring, he managed to get over as a motherfucker in the last few years of WCW. He was more over than guys who had exponentially better gimmicks and is a multi-time champion. He also had some of the most gloriously ridiculous booking ideas ever, including wanting to have invisible wrestlers and an alien invasion. I mark out for Chikara slow motion, invisible grenade, etc. spots even though they "expose the business" or whatever because they're fun and goofy. If you're going to book dumb comedy poo poo, go hog wild with it. His stuff might not have fit into WCW, but for an indie promotion, they'd be hilarious. I'd rather see an alien invasion with Mike Tenay as their leader than two boring wrestlemen with fauxhawks and nearly identical tights reading "funny" scripted promos at each other that were written for them by a committee of TV writers who hate wrestling. Also, he's responsible for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4EPbNWxtXA Occupy Japan fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Shane Douglas had pretty good ring psychology when he wanted to. Hulkster In Heaven is one of the funniest songs ever put to record, intentionally or not. Nick Gage is a legitimately frightening human being. He also had the um... tenacity I guess, to return to hardcore wrestling after literally dying from injuries sustained in the ring.

Having had the unfortunate experience of seeing both part of One Night in Chyna and a scene from one of her professional pornos I can confirm that, with proper pubic foliage, Chyna no longer appears to have a literal penis.

Kevin Nash is godawful in the ring and was a terrible booker and did some beyond dubious poo poo as a member of the Clique, but is very business savvy, legitimately hilarious, seems to have mellowed out a lot with age and while he was lazy as poo poo in the ring and one of the poorest drawing WWF champions (as far as I know), that very laziness in the ring is probably one of the main reasons why he, as a mid-50's 6'10 injury prone dude, isn't a total crippled wreck at this point. He will probably still be doing his 6 moves and laughing all the way to the bank long after Kurt Angle is confined to a wheel chair.

Jeff Hardy knew how to have a memorable main event. I used to love him but current day Kurt Angle has made a really enjoyable movie and he wasn't even the worst actor in it. Hulk Hogan feuded with Roddy Piper in 1985, and there were enjoyable promos. Ultimate Warrior's comic has caused me to laugh many times.

Nathan jones is freaking huge and looks incredibly intimidating. His entrance video was kind of cool and the vignettes leading up to his debut weren't bad. It's a shame he was pushed before learning how to do anything in ring. He really sucked on the mic, and the only remotely competent thing I remember him doing was a squash match against Shannon Moore. Besides that, his entire WWE run was absolutely awful. As much of an embarrassment as he was, I still can't help but think if he hadn't have quit so early on, he might have developed into something, because he did seem like a genuine psychopath with a legitimately scary background, and he was very athletic for a dude that huge. Also, his crazy facial expressions were great. Having said that, it's probably good he quit when he did, because he definitely seemed like the kind of guy who would end up regularly injuring himself and everybody else. Also, he's okay as the huge white dude that Jackie Chan/Jet Li/Tony Jaa/Brad Pitt get to beat up.
