Best performer ever? Better than Bret Hart, Great Muta, or Dynamite Kid?
Yes.
Muta and dynamite never crushed shyt like art barr initially.
Off first viewing.
Bret Hart never stood out in his original yellow singlet. dynamite was never marketed to marks as dynamite. Dynamite's draw csne from being a smart. Muta's draw camera from being a smart. Where finally nwa or wcw. Finally brought in another real heel for sting.
Yet in that.
neither were as talented on first watch.
Plus never caught attention from just squashes.
Which were next level as just squashes. Nobody innovated on domestic gateway tv in wrestling like art barr.
You had to become a real engrained smart to know them. When art barr was in nwa/wcw. On domestic TV. Only person you could root for being higher on the card.
was for mark babyface nostalgia for sting. Past that... the best wrestler to ever show up on tv ever...
That was;
Art Barr
