It's meant to be, sort of. Tenta is a great example.

I've heard a lot of talk about Funaki but have never seen one of his fights or his matches. I'll have to look into it.

Did Steve Blackman really know how to fight or was that all a gimmick? Also was Dan Severn a decent fighter?

I thought Blackman was a gimmick, could be wrong.

Just making me thing about great wrestlers who were never great champions even though they held the belt. Love Jericho, easily one of my all time faves, but only one of his championship Roman Reigns was any good. After winning that scramble when Punk was taken out and he was added as a surprise entrant, then had that brilliant ladder match with HBK.

The others... Jobbing an average match to HHH at WM and I didn't even like that Edge/Jericho feud on his last one either.

He did train in some martial arts, don't think he ever competed properly though.

Think The Cat legit won some tournaments.

Dan Severn was a champion UFC fighter before he was a wrestler, like Ken Shamrock, so yes. Also an amateur wrestler.

The Cat was an instructor for Bischoff's kid, and he ended up getting him onto WCW and into wrestling. Not a bad get, he had a great personality and was awesome on the mic. Really loved Ernest Miller. Especially his little feud with Scott Norton that involved him eating some vicious powerbombs.

And his commissioner run. One of the better things about late 2000 WCW.

I like how The Cat Ernest Miller's gimmick included him claiming to be friends with James Brown. So as a heel whose gimmick is that he is a good dancer, he'd constantly talk about his good friend James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, and swear he'd bring him out to dance together. And as a heel, nobody would believe him, of course; he's a no-good, lying sonofabitch whose entire gimmick is cribbed from James Brown, after all.

Then one day he brought James Brown out and danced with him because IT WAS ALL TRUE.

Ernest Miller was awesome, I always remembered him being awesome and getting a ton of screen time. Then I watched WCW again a few years ago and he hardly featured! Guy was funny though.

Did I dream it, or did he appear in WWF too?

Rock had a cool boombox at age 15, cool. I was never lucky enough to have a big boombox to carry around on my shoulder, I'd still like one very much. The Rock, living the boombox dream since fifteen.

Fuck. Stinger and Hulk on the roster may get me to renew my Network subscription because I love paying money to see Stinger and Hulk. :(

Legit question as well:

Sting's coming. Where do YOU slot him in? Let's say he has a match for Summerslam on the cards. With who, how, and when do you build it?

Sting vs Wyatt could be a lot of fun but he's wrapped up with Jericho for what's likely the next 3 months.
