Macho Man, SCSA, Angle will remain the top 3. Rock will get too many 5s and belows from trolls. And even if this was 5 years ago Hogan would get downgraded for politicking and “workrate”

Yokos a 4 for having a presence and not being terrible in there ring for his size. That’s the best I can say.

I gave him an 8

A 6. He was a monster heel during a down period for them and did about a good a job as could be done. But at the same time I feel a lot of guys from this era could have been put in that role and no one would bat an eye.

8. Monster heel. Great heel champ. Could move for a dude his size. Should’ve had more time at the top but couldn’t keep his health in check

Cartier Murphy · Nov 14, 2018

He’s tough to rate, in a way, because his career was just so short. He had from what, 93-96, part of 97? But he was able to accomplish so much within that time that its easy to inflate his rating because of that. Yoko worked well for his size, and for what his gimmick was. I think if he had more time and was able to keep his weight manageable, he would’ve gotten better and had a much longer career. I enjoyed his feuds with Bret & Taker. There’s not much for me to say given how short his run really was, but being a 2x WWE Champ, Winning the Rumble, & main eventing Mania 2 years in a row are no small feats, so we’ll go with 7 here.

MrFirst2doit · Nov 14, 2018

Cons: Zero promo game, not particularly interesting or charismatic, no character evolution, solid in-ring but I don't recall any signature matches besides Hogan and Bret, maybe Taker...

Pros: Great finisher, great look, athletic for size, gimmick worked for his era

Grade: 6

10. One of my personal favorite legends

Still listen to his music at the gym sometimes.

That alone kills any legitamcay this list could have ever had, first of top 3 should be rock austin hogan and flair in no order, a case could be made for hogan to round out the five but why is trish rated that high? is TSCon a fake feminist movement too? wtf :scust:

trish is a 7 at best wtf

Anyway Yoko gets a solid 6.5 for me, he had a great gimmick and for a while I really thought he was japenese....................however that shyt was super short lived after a while there was nothing special about him and was really only famous for about a year and that was mostly cause of his size to be honest..yall buggin with these high ass ratings for these at best mid carders smh..
