Lol at 8s/9s/10s.

Ring- 6. He was a solid mechanic. Thats about it. No real memorable matches imo.

Mic-4- competent, no believability though.

Star quality/charisma-3. He wasnt bad at being a minor heel annoyance, otherwise no charisma at all. Looked like a fan, no mic skills, goofy expressions. Basically portrayed himself as a joke at all times, so why would I give a fukk about him except as someone to get squashed?

Overall-4. I've never been happy that hes on my TV. Hes competent in some areas, but just lacks any reason to care about.
This :mjlol:

7 for me

Very underrated and I used to feel he could have been HBK's replacement when he went out in 98, but he never really got the opportunity to be big on the majors but he always stood out among the ECW wrestlers as he was a tall, in shape, decent looking dude while half of their roster was slummy looking dudes

I don't like to do these when either I don't know much about the talent involved or I'm not crazy about them, but I wanted to participate in this one. I don't dislike Stevie, but he's always just been there to me. He gets a 6 off GP though, because he's a solid hand who's survived a decade or two in the business, far outlasting his contemporaries. People in here have also made good arguments for him, never really took into consideration just how skilled he was at getting his gimmicks and acts over. Had he come along I think in this era, he'd be higher up on the card than he was in his time.

On a related note, maybe the thing I remember him most for as a kid since this game was my life, was his random ass No Mercy push. He took Big Show's spot :russ:

Gave him a 4 never made it past mid card. I always saw him as someone's lackey, weather its Ravens or Victoria lackey. There was that funny seigment on Raw where Triple H beating the crap out of Stevie in a car, thinking he was HBK :russ::lolbron:

-Mic work/promos: 5. He was entertaining as Raven's comedy flunky in ECW and his VERY short WCW run. The dynamic between the grunge rock angst of Raven and the upbeat hair metal band attitude of Stevie was pretty funny. He's boring as fukk when trying to play a more straight-forward heel or face role.

-Personality/gimmicks: 4. Again, he was good in the comedy goon role in ECW. Right to Censor was awful "go away" heat for me. Terrible gimmick. "Dr. Stevie" in TNA sucked, too.

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds): 5. Couldn't name a single notable match or feud in his entire career but he wasn't awful in the ring.

-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores): 4. Was pushed harder in the WWF than he ever should've been. Lower card guy for life and channel changing status. Another guy who was only relevant and worthwhile when Heyman booked him.
