KAMALA THE UGANDAN HEAD HUNTER

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 7/10
He looked alot like the guys from the Shaka Zulu tv series , and a spitting image of the random cannibals on Gilligans Island.
I used to get nervous reading the VHS box at the wrestling section of the video store which for some reason was in the basement next to the horror section.

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself -6/10
I dont remember him ever speaking.
Just eating chickens and singing.

In-Ring Work - 4/10.
Dont remember a single thing he did...ever...but he slammed the Giant before Hogan did....nuff said.

Hate to be nitpicky geek guy, but he was Giant Machine. The other guy next to him is Bill Eadie, aka Masked Superstar, aka Demolition Ax.

I <3 Demolition. Was waiting for someone else to write them up. No idea about the machine being ax.

Smash was the one who ended up as repo man right ?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Yes, Smash is Repo Man.

And also, thanks to rob for the Wresting Superstar Virgil assist.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Well done on Kamala, he was coming from me tonight.

Virgil
Wrestling Superstar

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 4/10. He could look rather menacing standing behind Ted Dibiase, grinding his paws to the bone with a snarl...but behind it all, you knew he was a weakling.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 0/10. Virgil could talk?
In-Ring Work - 2/10. All I know is he could take bumps as The Million Dollar Man's designated bump taker.

TOTAL - 6/30

[SHOGUN]

Gedo

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 7/10. Tough guy heel. Nothing special, but I buy it and the missing tooth adds to it.

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 5/10. Broken engrish with loads of expletives throughout. I find it hilarious and compliments his tough guy persona.

In-Ring Work - 7/10. Doesn't have the flashiest moveset. He's more of a brawler and works good matches.

Total - 19/30

[SHOGUN]

Abyss

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 5/10. Has the monster look down, but loses points for looking really similar to the old Mankind.

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 4/10. When he's not given shit to work with, he can do pretty good.

In-Ring Work - 3/10. He's fallen off here. All he's good for now is looking scary and harming himself through stupid spots.

Total - 12/30

His broken english profanity laced rants are indeed fantastic.

'Fuck-a you refareeeee. One two three mothafocka!'

Mr. Kennedy / Anderson


























Kenn-uh-daaaaayyyyy / Aaaaaan-derrrrrr-sooooooooon.

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 4/10. Not in shape. Horrible tattoos.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 7/10. He's pretty good, but he comes off like a dollar store obnoxious Rock all of the time. No change...ever.
In-Ring Work - 4/10. I've seen maybe 3 matches by Ken Anderson that I enjoyed, and they were all with Kurt Angle. Sloppy and injures fools.

TOTAL - 15/30

Sting
A Man Called...

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 9/10. When he was younger, was the definition of what you wanted your top guys to look like. Great body, great look. Docked a point simply because in later incarnations took dated pop culture references and ran with them (mainly the Crow gimmick) for fuckin 15 years.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 7/10. When he was young, had a great ability to sell himself as that young, confident, hot shot babyface. Then he barely spoke for a decade. Now, he's a dated version of the Joker. I guess I'll just grade him on the early stuff.
In-Ring Work - 6.5/10. When he was in the ring with better overall workers, he really could compliment them and put on classic matches. Worked really well with Ric Flair (who couldn't?) and Vader, but also had some real gems with Barry Windham, The Great Muta, Mick Foley had some strong tag matches and was a stud in the War Games environment. The late 80's and early 90's, Sting was a really really strong performer in-ring. After...not so much...if I were to grade him at his peak I'd give him a strong 7. I'll dock him for his later work, but it was tough to put on a good match in the main event nWo era WCW, to be fair.

TOTAL - 22.5/30

Sting
The Crow (Specifically Late '96-End of '97

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 9/10. Here, Sting had one of the best storylines in WCW history and definitely the best slow build ones. Being accused by everyone (including best friend Luger and the Steiners) of turning to the nWo, he never was going to. So he said screw all of you and became the loner. He did not talk for a year beyond "Hogan" or stuff like that. He had a great look with the black/white gimmick after years of the surfer style. The big trenchcoat and the bat added to the shtick.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 8/10. He rarely talked but damn did he get himself over even more because of it.
In-Ring Work - 6/10. Sting only wrestled once on TV during this span and it left something to be desired. Not his fault was the fucked up finish because Nick Patrick did a regular count instead of a fast one so in the end, it looked like Hogan was getting screwed when Bret restarted the match and Sting won. Plus, most of that match was Hogan kicking his ass.

TOTAL - 23/30

Brian Pillman
The Loose Cannon

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 6/10. Small, but ripped to shreds. Had a good look for the lightweights...had a really good heel look for his later main event and faction runs. Looked like a guy you wanted to beat the shit out of. Had this smile you wanted to slap right off his face.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 9.5/10. Had the entire industry fooled for a long time in regards to his loose cannon gimmick. Was a great heel promo. You'd want to kill him if you heard him speak. All this despite a raspy voice from a throat issue he had as a kid. Gave him a .5 deduction simply because I just don't see him on a Flair/Jericho level on the mic.
In-Ring Work - 8/10 (pre-injury). One of the best lightweights in a pre-Nitro era in America. Had classic all-time great matches with Jushin Liger. Took Lex Luger to some good matches late in the 80's. Good tag worker with Tom Zenk and Steve Austin. The last really good match I remember seeing him in was against Marc Mero of all people at a Fall Brawl in the mid-90's. Not going to recognize his work in-ring post injury...you just have to dismiss that.

TOTAL - 23.5/30

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Big Van Vader

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 9/10. Are you fucking kidding me, its Vader. Big, mean, intimidating. Ridiculous, yet scarey aisle attire and a timeless mask.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 6/10. Not really a talker, but sold himself as a big man beast.
In-Ring Work - 8/10. Like I said with the Undertaker, I'll max out a big man at an 8. So, Vader gets an 8. In Japan, he was a monster in-ring. His first run in the 'States was really strong. His work later on was rather shit. Probably the best big man in-ring ever.

TOTAL - 23/30

[Kuzzy Powers]

We need the Vader smiley back..
