TSC Evaluation #45: Mr. Perfect

[TL15]

I knew nothing of him before his WWF run because I was too young but the promos had me

Threw a football to himself
Perfect bowling game

They built him coming in.... perfectly


9. I don't think he did anything bad. But he didn't quite transcend like Angle, Flair, SCSA, Rock, etc.

My bad, put the wrong one, changed it now. Thanks breh

Subtract one for that ridiculous selling that cut his career short. Subtract another one for the unfair shyt he did to flair.


8

Just as long as you changed it.

His score should have been higher. A bunch of hipsters on here.

Too young to have watched him in his prime, haven't gotten round to watching his shyt on the Network. So a 5 is just average, middle for diddle, neutral opinion

Usually when you don't know enough about someone's career you don't vote at all. Could you please keep your tryhard trolling out of these threads?

I'd give him a 7. He definitely got overrated by protosmarks thinking he should have had a title run in the 80s, but he shouldn't have. He was a great mid to upper mid carder who could bump around and make guys look great, but he was pretty bad on offense and really doesn't have a pedigree of great matches. There are about 5 everyone remembers and then you have to really dig to think of something else. Great look, great charisma, sometimes great promos, great in the ring when bumping around. On the list of guys that should have gotten the WWF title in the 80s/90s, he's a ways down on my list.

West Texas Rednecks might bump him up to an 8 just for lolz.

My list of GOAT Perfect matches

Vs Bret Hart Summerslam 1991
vs Bret Hart KOTR 1993
vs Nick Bockwinkel AWA Championship Superclash II
vs Jerry Lawler AWA Championship whatever the event was where King won the belt

Some lower tier ones:

vs Boss Man at WM 7
vs Lex Luger at WM 9
vs Doink on Raw
vs Bret Hart at Uncensored 1998

-Mic work/promos - I will say this..Perfect knew how to cut a promo laced with arrogance without being outwardly arrogant..dude had you believing there was no one else better than him...legendary vignettes..solid 9

-Personality/gimmicks - full monty - In his prime dude was simply..perfect..that gimmick was gold...him and bobby heenan fed off each up other like no one else
.shyt my favorite one was dude was throwing a pencil in the air and catching it in writing position

..even when he wasnt wrestling due to injuries he was one hell of a manager or consultant and was entertaining even in that role..rap is crap was a gem in the hubris that was WCW in the late 90s...i hated no limit ..the funny thing with that was dude spit immaculate bars on awa wrestlerock rumble lol

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds) - an all time great wrestler...a great bumper..for a guy his size he was insane with those bumps..dude kept the midcard poppin...matches with warrior, texas tornado, tito santana, bret hart...my favorite perfect match was vs ric flair..loser leaves WWF match on RAW..that doesn't get enough mention..the back injuries though deteriorated him as he get older..perfect plex was that move...give him a solid 9

-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores - dude was absolutely unique as wrestler and embodied everything about great about his gimmick...he was one of the wrestlers again that i appreciated more as he got older...rooted for him to make a successful WWE comeback but the demons came into play...his real flaw is siring a son who inherited none of his traits ..give him a 9.5

To me he was a 8 on thing keeping him from 10 was he couldn't stay healthy

10 Gimmick (I still spit out my gum and slap it today :wow)

Work rate 10 Dude was a goat seller and a great technician and made Brock Lesnar in hia first WWE match

Mic Work: 8 I don't really remember any memorable promos

Overall 8 Could've been GOAT tier if injuries didn't hinder him constantly

Him slamming Flair's head in the cage is one of the most vivid wrestling memories for me because I was legit like and the next night Tony Shiavonne sold that shyt tremendously on commentary

Voted 10. Perfect is my personal GOAT, even as a heel hating mark kid I loved this dude. If I were to subtract points from him it would only be for dying on my birthday
