He gets a 7. Both of his gimmicks were awesome just his ring stuff was aight. I only go back to watch his matches with Eddie.
3. He wasn't entertaining at all to me..only things I can think of with him is Shelton owned him at No way out 04 and Eddie putting him over after a major blade job.
7. Great tag team career and the APA is one of the most entertaining things from the attitude era or any era. The Bar is basically the G rated version of them. And while I wasn't watching a lot of wrestling during his championship run, going back and peeping it on the network has given me a different appreciation for dude. He was a great heel champ and like the best heels, he kept finding ways to win

5 as a wrestling superstar. Should've been a feared midcarder who occasionally challenged for the title... Million Dollar Man had it all mapped out for him once the APA thing was done, but he got too much airtime and it got stale as fukk. He had some brutal matches here and there, but nothing legendary and I only ever had go away heat for him.
As an employee of WWE though? 9 going on 10. Stepped up to the main event scene when SOMEONE had to and after he retired quietly did a lot to shift the commentary back to a more "sports" feel..
I know all the hackneyed references wind smarks up, but they fit the image the company has being try to sell to a t. He'll be in the hall of fame if he's not already (can't be fukked to look, because I don't give a shyt about him) but not from fan pressure, because he had MVP years when they desperately needed guys to lead the show.

7 off Apa alone. You knew somebody was getting they ass when they were coming to the ring.and I didn't know anybody who thought Farooq>Bradshaw. His heel work was top notch, Mexican border segment is top 5 heel shyt post attitude era.
Actually that would be an interesting thread.

His world title run was some Jinder Mahal level shyt without the "indian marketshare" reasoning. Alot of his heat was cheap heat (Racism/Jingoism/Hometown insults) and his matches aren't worth discussing.
