7. I didn’t see his non WCW stuff, but he’s getting a 7 off the 3 year WCW run. He got away with doing nothing on the mic because he had such a cool look.

great in a WCW ring that's about it
no personality whatsoever

6.5

Only saw his WCW and limited WWE run but breh was drippin with all them titles :whew:

Gotta go 8 off that and his ring work

Nintendough · Apr 3, 2019

Solid 8. Was an elite ring guy and I watched a lot of his shyt. So what if he didnt talk. He looked great and was a top 3 cruiserweight in WCW. Plus the belts :wow:

Playaz Eyez · Apr 3, 2019

Gave him a high 7. I loved him as a kid, thought he had a great look and did cool shyt in the ring. Don't think I've ever hard him talk (even in the WWE), but oddly enough it worked. That pic of him with all those titles is legendary as well. Him and Sonny Onoo were perfect together, liked that dynamic. The reason I gave him a 7 instead of going higher is cause there were other CWs I thought were more interesting and appealing than him.

His WWE run was bad. Last thing I remember about him in the WWE was tripping over his cape at WM 20, and that feud with Tajiri, Akio, and Sakada. Very forgettable tenure.

7 for the Asai Moonsault and being the last disciple of Bruce Lee

He gets a 8 off swag alone

Kidd Dibiase · Apr 4, 2019

7 for being an innovator

Keeping it short. Loved his WCW run, he might have the GOAT wrestling photo (in OP), and he was pre Sin Botcha in the E. I give him a 7.
