It says something really that WWE have never seemed to show any interest in the six foot seven son of Scott Hall; that sort of thing is usually right up their street. e: The Mochizuki and Joe Doering stories are really dumb. He went on a rampage about how Mochizuki's kicks were those of an amateur and later admitted that he didn't know who Masaaki Mochizuki is - at the time he'd been wrestling at a high level for like 20 years. He saw a gif of a Joe Doering crossbody and dismissed him as an "amateur" - at the time Doering was Triple Crown champion and an All Japan main eventer while Cody Hall was very low down in NOAH.

The story someone on here posted recently about John Kronus getting mugged has gotta rank him right up there. (Can't remember the exact details sorry.) Twice the man and half the brain Sid. Was that story about him putting a ferret down his trousers true or an urban myth? Hardcore Holly intentionally sandbagging Brock loving Lesnar has to put him into contention. Also Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley for sacrificing way too many brain cells in pursuit of their dreams when they could have easily toned things down to protect themselves a bit more.

it's possible they also didn't realize the dumbest wrestler is painted in a very negative light as opposed to a lighthearted one. if someone asked you who the dumbest wrestler was without the context of the OP you might tell them it was ibushi and then regale them with wonderful stories about that dumb lovable fuckerman. But the OP exists, as do the other posts. so it might be impossible instead of possible, or somewhere in the middle. anyway it wasn't a good thing to read. I needed to get my two cents in about it to feel like one of the gang

Zombie Lemur posted:My favorite Saturn story was about when someone tried to rob him and Kronus. Apparently after the dude pulled a gun Kronus stuck his fingertip in the barrel and after a few awkward seconds the dude took off. After the guy was gone Saturn asked Kronus what the gently caress he was thinking and the exchange went something like:

Ibushi is dumb but no more dumb than any deathmatch wrestler. that is to say, still very dumb, but in a pro wrestling, not taking care of your body sort of way that gets excused in this business. Kronus always had a rep of being slow, simple, not sharp, etc. I dont know what was going on in that brain of his but it feels like a different kind of dumb. Kronus was cool though. 6'4" 250lbs and could do a space flying tiger drop. died at only 38

There was something really dumb that he said (which I'm sure isn't a surprise to anyone) years ago that I forget now, but it did lead to a bunch of replies with the hashtag #moosequestions which were really funny. Hopefully someone here remembers what it was.

Ibushi's level of dumb is on the endearing anime protagonist scale of Goku or Monkey D Luffy who don't know or care about anything that doesn't directly impact them at that very second. The big stories about Ibushi that haven't been mentioned yet are: When arriving for the first CWC in WWE, he got lost literally within 15 minutes of landing in Florida and it took an hour to find out where he had wandered off to He gave a high five to Vince McMahon without having any idea of who Vince was or what he looked like After being told he'd be banned from one of the biggest arenas in Japan for jumping off the balcony, he decided to moonsault off the balcony and faced a lifetime ban until NJPW convinced them to reduce it to a 1 year ban There was a scandal where Japanese tabloids caught him with a prostitute. When asked about it he just shrugged and said he had fun He would regular practice landing on his neck from the top rope in DDT to make it stronger He said he hates reading books because they force images into his brain He turned down his first NJPW contract to wrestle in front of 30 people for Kaiju Big Battel In the real world, Ibushi is apparently the heir to a massive multi-million dollar family. He doesn't care about money or status, he just does whatever he thinks is fun

Alberto is a literal rapist and probably shouldn't be eligible for this We might need a more specific definition of "dumb" otherwise we'd just nominate a bunch of actual criminals and this becomes the NY64 all over again

Anyway how about some more Japanese guys, non-Ibushi edition (who's clearly playing up his dumbness as a public persona) -- TAKA Michinoku for getting caught cheating on his wife and basically getting fired from his own promotion.
