Im Bias, so if we're talking about peak 1998 nWo Wolfpac Big Sexy Im giving him a 9.

Loved his X Division run. Helped get a lot of them dudes over.

Really helped legitimize the Main Event Mafia along with Angle.

His run in 2011 was entertaining too til HHH fukked it up.

Who gave him a 6? :leostare:

I give him an 8, was never a good worker but good enough to be carried to a good match when against good talent. Good on the mic and charismatic. Very believable big man. Incredibly influential from the kliq, guaranteed contracts, and the NWO. Was arguably the most over face in wcw at one point, and before the fingerpoke of doom, a lot of people were fine with him ending the streak. I give him an 8.

They could have gone so many different ways in 2011 and it would have made sense but instead he texted himself...wtf. I'm convinced they had no idea and that decision was made minutes before he walked through the curtain, if not seconds before. Easily a top 3 worst storyline explanation in company history

I forgot so much of that stupidity :laff:

Him & HHH had no reason to be having a damn match in 2011. Bout to pull this shyt up now :mjlol:

nWo... the OG "suck it" taunt... Wolfpac... Outsiders... JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB... ending Whisker Biscuit's streak... rocking FUBU and putting the roster onto Pac and Pun... all his shoots and Nashtales... almost gave him a 10, but then I remembered he was part of the reason that the Summer of Punk II didn't pan out. He also buried GOATs like Y2J, Eddie, and Benoit, so I gave him an 8.

At least it gave us showers/weights/clue and the unintentional comedy that is texting himself. :ld:

That first promo between him & punk got me :dead:

Original plan was for me to put over Punk at one of the PPV's in the fall before he got the strap back, but I wasn't cleared medically at that time.

I'm going with 8. Underrated in the ring, as he could really go when he wanted to (which granted was not very often) and had better matches with Bret and HBK than those two had against each other. Bret vs Diesel Rumble 1995 is for sure top 10 90s WWF match, HBK vs Diesel IYH is up there as well, and the first year or so of The Outsiders were strong as hell tag matches.

Charisma out the ass, obviously the NWO is legendary. I'm maybe a bigger Nash fan than a lot of people. I think he's had a bad rap over the years. I'm not going to pretend like he's an all time great wrestler or anything (although he does have a few great matches to his credit), but he was a good big man when he wanted to be, and wrestling is about a lot more than just wrestling. His influence on guaranteed contracts should be enough alone to make him one of the most important dudes in the game. People also forget how over he was in WCW. Dude was getting cheered over Goldberg in the lead up to Starrcade 1998.
