Outside of his matches with tanaka i never hear any big praise for dude. He was an agile big guy who could do some cool spots as long as he had someone willing to die for him. Take away the spots and put him up against a bigger guy and his matches are boring af. Not to mention he was trash on the mic.

The Awesome Bomb is one of the GOAT finishers though



Looked like he legit aint give a damn about their safety

:wow: :picard:

Pretty much this. Masato Tanaka made Mike Awesome special.

It was Heyman's presentation of dude. He was booked as a unstoppable monster and he was believable . On top of that he was one of the first tall dudes that had a expanded moveset. It's not fair to watch him with 2022 eyes you have to remember back in 99 there weren't many big men flying on main stream wrestling.
