I pitched the Graves idea on here a few threads ago. Him managing Corbin, Black or even Sanity would make for good TV.

Tough poll. Scott Hall was obviously a way better worker than Nash. But overall, Nash has had a bigger impact on the industry and more staying power (for better or worse). Taking the big picture into account, had to vote Nash.

Hall gets my vote easily.

Amazing talent with underrated creativity for the biz.

Anyway, I know there's some Japanese pro-wrestling fans on here.

Here's a match I've really enjoyed and have watched about a dozen times between Kawada and Shibata from about 12 years ago in NJPW:

Solid mascot/theme/poll.

Voted for the one that oozed machismo.

Hall is in my list of guys I think deserved a proper World Title run and never received one along with the likes of Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, Barry Windham and Arn Anderson.

Agreed. If the poll was specifically "who was a better wrestler" it would easily be 100% Hall and 0% Nash (or if anyone would vote Nash on that poll, they would deserve the ban).

The Superstar Shuffle really hurt SD.

His own demons drained his staying power and we really only say prime Scott Hall on a national stage for a few years 1994-97. Such a shame.

Not a bad list. I'm a huge Anderson mark but I do not think he was World champion material. I would swap him out with mid 90s Goldust or Jake Roberts

 

[lordsai]

ko sure does like getting his ass kicked in ladder matches

I agree on adding those 2 to my list. Even with the bizarre gimmick, Dustin was great.

Jake the Snake's angles with Macho Man and Rude were great.

I always thought Arn had the talent to be a World Champion, but never got the appropriate push as he was almost always in the mid card role.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Hall never had the opportunity when he was the most over to be champ. It was essential in 1996-7 that Hogan be the heel champ that the NWO protected then he would've only had a small window in the spring/summer of 98 to get the strap back on a heel champion for Goldberg to beat. Then he was far too gone after that to be counted on as your world champion.

And that's just counting the bumps he's taken in his WWE ladder matches.

I'm sure if you look around there's another dozen or more crazy bumps this dude took on the indys too.

This thread is fake and gay tho

[lordsai]

ko and sami must really love ladder matches always look like they are trying to kill each other

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

That sunset flip powerbomb ladder spot is so beautiful
