Also, Ole only made that one appearance on Flair For the Gold, and at his age, it wasn't like he was going to get in the ring on a regular basis anyway. True. I'm actually kind of surprised he made that one appearance, considering he was pretty much already hating the Horsemen by the time he left and was replaced with Luger.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

because he was terribly mediocre and void of any and all charisma

Mongo was worse IMO
Roma was talented, but nowhere near good enough to be a Horseman. His best work in wrestling was as part of Power and Glory. Tag teams were his niche. Should have stuck with it.

If not Roma, than who would have been a better choice for the Horsemen in 93? I know - ANYBODY, but let's be specific. I wasn't watching at the time, so I don't recall who was there and who wasn't Bobby Eaton cause he'd teamed with Arn Dustin Rhodes to show it wasn't the old Horsemen Marcus Alexander Bagwell if you wanted a guy with dark hair Paul Orndorff just because he seemed to have a kind of Horseman like style to me.

he went from being a total jobber in WWF to being presented as Ric Flair's heir apparent. he wasnt particularly charismatic . decent worker, but didn't live up to the way he was billed, at all. I'd still argue Mongo was worse though. early 90s Steve Austin would've been PERFECT for the spot they gave Roma. man, WCW really didn't know what they had with him did they? actually I think they were planning to feud the Hollywood Blondes with the Horsemen as soon as they decided to put them together. So that's why he never became one

It wasn't his debut, Alex Wright's initial feud was with some scrub called Jean Paul Levesque. Roma still deserves a whole lot of hatred for what he did to Wright though, it was thoroughly unprofessional. How was it unprofessional? Alex Wright was built up as a newcomer, not as some Goldberg-esque dominant force. AFAIK he even denied the rumours that Roma was shooting against him. Roma did not shoot on him, but Roma was told to make Wright look good. He did this by completely no-selling almost all of his offense. Rather than try to get heat from the crowd and sympathy for Wright, he kept getting the crowd to cheer for him instead.
