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

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Younger AWA/New Japan/heel WWF Hogan I would give a 6 for work.

Hulkamania Hogan, a 2.

Everything since about 1995, a 0.

I feel similar...

Hogan would get a 6 early in his career.
Hulkamania Hogan...I can't rate it low like a 2...he worked a forumula driven style that ended up making him a shit load of money and he had some classic matches using it. Not my cup of tea and surely not consistent...but I'd give him a 4-ish.
Hogan post-steroid trial and in WCW...he didn't have a single good match and his time there is stricken from the records.

These rob bios are killing me.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

In-Ring Work - 9/10, I know his finishing move was a full nelson, maybe a swinging one, my big fat cousin would put me in it and yell 'Ken Patera!', I don't think I ever got out of it

Lmao.. tremendous reasoning for the score.

 

[FirstTimer]

In-Ring Work - 9/10, I know his finishing move was a full nelson, maybe a swinging one, my big fat cousin would put me in it and yell 'Ken Patera!', I don't think I ever got out of it

Score - 22/30

Made me seriously LOL at work.

Randy Savage
The Macho Man​

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 9/10. Iconic character and unique look. Every single person in the world knows who Randy Savage is and knows what he looks like.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 10/10. I'm clumping together here, as I really don't want to differentiate between a Flair 10 and a Savage 10. If anyone questions my 10, please look to Exhibit A.
In-Ring Work - 9/10. Early in his career, incredibly believable, simple, innovative. Later in his career, methodical, but physically couldn't do what he did in the 80's. The words "Aerial Assault" and "Pearl Harbor'd" were invented for Randy Savage. Might even give him another .5 here if you ask me in 10 minutes. *edit* I have no idea why I gave this guy an 8...9 it is.

TOTAL - 28/30

Exhibit A

Arn Anderson

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 10/10 I think hes gotta be the perfect 10 here, but I know ill probably catch flack for that. But noone cut a more intense promo then Arn, one of the best on the sticks ever.​

Arn's promos made everyone feel like their drunk dad was about to beat them up for misbehaving.​

 

[Liquidrob]

Don Moraco​

Physical Appearance - 9/10, almost a 10, if he wasnt natural he could have been a 10

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 9/10, This was a disguting human being, never had a nice thing to say about anyone

In-Ring Work - 2/10, not very versatile, I believe he liked to eye gouge and rake his finger nails down your back, he might have had a back breaker or something, but he always cheated, not very technical

Score - 20/30

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Don Muraco is like two different people.

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

Then, you had roided up babyface "Rock" Don Muraco, who gets:
Look: 8
Promo: 1
Work: 4
Total: 13

There is actually a third Muraco, a really fat version in between these two, and he gets a zero for everything because he clearly had stopped giving a shit.

 

[Liquidrob]

Jiimmy 'SUPERFLY' Snuka​

Physical Appearance - 9/10, I don't remember him being this big like in the pic, was a 'smaller' guy and a high flyer type, but I liked his look with the headband

Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 6/10, grunted and had some broken english going on, but when he took that cocunut to the head from Piper I felt bad for him, he didnt deserve that, I was sold on that fight

In-Ring Work - 10/10, HE JUMPED OFF THE TOP ROPE, plus I remember he jumped off the top of Andre the Giants shoulders, for that alone you get a 10, mix in island guy headbutts, chops and drop kicks and you have a star

Score - 25/30

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Hulk Hogan​

Physical Appearance / Look / Character - 10/10. Duh.
Ability to Talk/Sell Yourself - 10/10. Duh.
In-Ring Work - 5.5/10. Probabaly being generous. Pre-Hulkamania Hogan was respectable in the ring. Hulkamania-Hogan was by-formula and bland, but it worked for the time. Kind of dated though. WCW / Hollywood Hogan and beyond was awful, legitimately.

TOTAL - 25.5/30

 

[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.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

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.
