Won't mean dick if he doesn't talk.
Lots of guys have been successful and never talk.

Who?
mankind didnt talk right awayIt's fascinating to see wrestling fans who presumably came up with wrestling during the Monday Night Wars not understand how important being able to talk in wrestling is.
All were heels and had managers doing the talking for them. Rarely do you see a face with a manager.Brock Lesnar is a huge one. Taker to an extent, yes he talked but very few words - his biker gimmick he talked a lot. Kane before he unmasked. Great Muta was another big one. Yoko. Sabu.

and then we were blessed with the south park pro wrestling episodeI still remember fans actually getting pissed off around 96-97 when guys started constantly cutting 10 minute long promos. There was a big narrative of "all they do in the WWF is talk now".

I still remember being a kid and people cut like 1 minute intense promos looking amped up and that was good enough. Hogan, Warrior, Road Warriors, Savage, all they needed was a good minute to hype you up.
Only face I remember having a manager was Bob Backlund (Arnold Skaaland), who actually was the one who cost Backlund the title to the Iron Sheik by throwing in the towel.thats a good point.
i can mostly only remember face tag teams with a manager
When tna started under the jarretts their mission statement was shut up and wrestle. Fans started chanting it whenever someone pickup a mic.I still remember fans actually getting pissed off around 96-97 when guys started constantly cutting 10 minute long promos.

Looks like he finished college, spent a few months in the Enterprise management trainee program and decided to give wrestling a shot.Watching DarkE and seeing Arn Jr. for the first time in the ring..
Brock Anderson coulda tightened up some and worked out his tanning before making his debut. Instead there’s this fairly green, bleached balding guy with a lumpy butter body on tanlined sausage legs.
Don’t know about this one.
