The Bret Hart scale...Let's rate random wrestlers.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

If you headbutt or had Rob's fat cousin apply a move to LilRob, you are one of the GOATs.

[Senser81]

First you had chubby top heel early 80's "Magnificent" Muraco, who'd i'd score:
Look: 4
Promo: 8
Work: 7
Total: 19

Magnificent Muraco was still a putz. I would still put his work score in the "2-3" range. As Liquidrob said, his go to move was the back-rake, which is like playing Mortal Kombat as Sonja Blade.

Tully Blanchard

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 5/10. Small but had amazing chest hair.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 8/10. How could you not hate Tully Blanchard? He's Canadian. Talked shit like he was 6'10" 300lbs and could kill like vintage Fedor but was a midget. Always got the girl, too. Fuckin' cunt.
In-Ring Work - 7.5/10. Would rate higher, but relegated to tag teams for most of his career.

TOTAL - 20.5/30.

[Tailback U]

Rowdy Roddy Piper

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 10/10.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 10/10.
In-Ring Work - 8/10. He invented the sleeper hold. I don't really remember any of his matches but I know he was pretty entertaining in the ring.

TOTAL - 28/10

[Kuzzy Powers]

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese

Physical Appearance - 6/10 To his credit, this guy legitimately looked like a garbageman, well done.

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 5/10 Not sure ive ever heard him talk other then saying "its time to take out the trash", but damn, is that ever a killer catchphrase for a garbageman.

In-Ring Work - 5/10 Im trying my damnest to even recall a specific Duke match, so lets just give him a generous score of 5.

Total - 16/30

[Warner2BruceTD]

It even says DUKE on his jumpsuit in case you forgot his name.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Kevin Sullivan

Physical Appearance - 7/10 When marked with facepaint and going bat shit crazy Kevin Sullivan actually looks like quite the character, despite being short, he was quite the tank in his younger days.

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 8/10 Bat shit crazy promos that would leave you wanting more. This guy was legit nuts and it translated well on the sticks.

In-Ring Work - 6/10 - Perhaps someone with greater knowledge of his earlier wrestling days could help me out in giving him a higher score, but from what I remember he wasnt too shabby in the ring, but nothing spectacular.

Total: 21/30

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Kevin Sullivan was shit in the ring...not a big fan and I thought he promo work was at best, average. Not even big on his appearance...dude was short as hell.

[EmpireWF]

Ken Shamrock

Physical - 8 - Well, he was jacked so he had that going for him. Plus he had the shoot background going for him and he was the "crazy" asskicker afterall.

Talk - 1 - Holy shit was he awful. Watched an episode of RAW from 1998 on 24/7 and he gave one of the worst promos I've heard in a long time. He stumbled around, made little sense and just came off like a total goof.

Workrate - 6 - Give the guy credit because although he started pro wrestling long before 1997, the break into MMA did not hurt him. He was a solid in-ring guy who had some great looking moves (belly-to-belly, his kicks) and was aggressive. Plus, he introduced the ankle lock to WWE.


15/30

[Warner2BruceTD]

Shamrock is one of those weird guys who does better MMA promos than pro wrestling promos, even though in both cases he's really just working.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Terry Garvin

Look: 10. At first, I was going to give him a zero, based on the fact that he looks about as unmenacing as a professional wrestler could possibly look, but this m'fer is creepy on a John Gacy type level and I would be terrified to open the door if he was knocking. Creepy.

Promos: Who the fuck knows.

Work: Who the fuck cares.

This is the dude that was forcing ring boys to suck his peen in the 80's, during the infamous McMahon sex scandals. Yes, this man is gay. I know, shocking.

[Liquidrob]

With my vast wrestling knowledge, having watched kens matches he was pretty good, but I think he would have been better in the japanese strong style, the WWE style doesn't suit him

[EmpireWF]

Mr. Perfect
Curt Hennig

Look: 8 - He wore awesome colored singlets, he had great bleach blonde hair (which was emphasized to the fullest with his tanned as hell skin) which would fly around during matches and he could pull off the "perfect" shtick with his mannerisms.

Promos: 9 - He may not have been perfect, but he was fucking close. Whether a heel or face, he talked like this was srs business. Plus, he could spit his gum out and smack it with his towel/hand.

Work: 9 - Even with a fucked up back for some time in WWF, he was as good as it got. He could work with anyone and make it look good because of the insane bumps he took. His classics with Bret in 1991 and 1993 are arguably the matches of those respective years in WWF.

[Liquidrob]

Good stuff empire, I remember mr perfects build up to the wwf, bowling, darts, pool and even archery I believe, also the towel and gum slap was great
