on the less-embarassing end, I think that Toa Henare is going to be the second New Zealander to hold the IWGP championship. He's got passion and heart as big as the Tokyo Dome and he is getting really good in the ring. On the more embarassing end, in the dying days of WCW I thought Misfits In Action were a fun stable with a lot of potential despite their silly names. In my defense this was before people knew what a piece of poo poo Bill DeMott was.

I seem to remember Peter Avalon was in a tagteam with a wrestler who was a goon about ten years ago. Nick Lovin, unless I'm remembering the name wrong.

shiksa posted:speaking of nunzio, I watched some mid 00s smackdown a while back and I loved Jamie noble. he was a real good worker for the time, and his little pissed off redneck guy who is looking for someone to gently caress his hot girlfriend character consistently cracked me up. I remember when he found out he'd inherited a whole bunch of money and just yelled "We're going to Applebee's!" in joy. That was the good stuff.

Art Barr. Was, supposedly, an outstanding wrestler. Which means nothing if he was a rapist, obviously.

SG Bamboo posted:Havoc vs Ospreay was by far my favourite thing PROGRESS did, and alot of that lay on Havoc. Dude was a great promo and wasn't too distracting in the ring, and heel Ospreay was a breath of fresh air when the Swords reunited. Paul Robinson is/was also a really solid "angry little guy" promo. He cut one on Walter last year that had me halfway believing he could take the title. https://youtu.be/NA9TeHIR_78

The combination of Jimmy Wang Yang and late era WCW makes me think of my favourite late era WCW stable: Jung Dragons! They were managed by Kimona Wanalaya (as Leia Meow)! One of them went on to be Jamie Noble Boy! One of them went on to be Jimmy Wang Yang! One of them went on to be president of Wrestle-1 and crash it into the rocks! They had generally really good matches against 3-Count which nobody gave a poo poo about because this was late era WCW and nobody gave a poo poo about anything! Their gimmick was massively racist but also largely ignored!
