Beyond his classic against Batista, the Undertaker was not skilled at Big Man vs. Big Man matches. Those tend to be the hardest type of match to work. I'm not entirely sure why. Taker worked a lot better against guys that were smaller than him. For a significant portion of his career, his gimmick and his feuds kind of prevented amazing matches. He's certainly had enough amazing matches to disqualify him from this contest. Oddly enough for this thread, Taker vs Nash at Wrestlemania 12 was a pretty solid Big Man brawl. Yeah, and he's had a few good ones with Kane. I thought the first one was particularly good. |

Who really thinks Hulk Hogan is a bad wrestler? I can't stand the man but he's not a bad wrestler by any stretch of the imagination.

Warrior was pretty much an abysmal wrestler (at least Hogan could hit moves properly/safely), but a combination of his charisma and WWE having Hogan pass the torch to him (albeit briefly) ensures he'll always be one of the biggest legends in wrestling. I'd argue that during and after his title reign he became pretty good. His style HAD to be that of a brawler/power wrestler based on his persona, and he did that well. There's a 1990 SNME match against DiBiase that shows Warrior doing some different moves, and it's kinda weird to see. Cool... but weird. |

Who really thinks Hulk Hogan is a bad wrestler? I can't stand the man but he's not a bad wrestler by any stretch of the imagination. He certainly wasn't Dean Malenko in the ring. But did he really need to be? Absolutely not! For what he did, he did extremely well. And in reality, he could do some good mat wrestling when he was in Japan. So it's not like he has not idea what he's doing in the ring. But he didn't need to be a mat technician in the ring. Just like Warrior didn't need to be. Why Nash didn't need to be. Just like the Road Warriors didn't need to be. Jim Ross has the best quote about the Road Warriors. "They didn't run many plays. But they ran them real well." |
