...As a commentator than a wrestler. Like, there's kids that'll only know him as that annoying Texan bloke rather than the "WRASSLIN' GAWD!" who had a bloody match with Eddie Guerrero and got beaten up with an exhaust by Cena.
Mind you, I didn't know that Larry Zbyszko had been a wrestler for years, only knew him as the kinda aloof at times announcer in WCW. Blew my mind to see him teaming with Arn Anderson & actually looking kinda buff at first.

My mom knows him as the wrestler with the big flappy boobs.
She'd scream "PUT A SHIRT ON!" every time she'd see him.

In all fairness I wondered why this commentator named Jerry Lawler was going by a king gimmick when I saw him for the first time in 1999.

I was at a house show years ago, and after the match started the crowd settled down a bit and the dude sitting beside me suddenly yells out "Bradshaw has tits!!!". My friends and I nearly died laughing |

It's weird for me that more people know him as JBL than Bradshaw, and their wrestling memories of him were having a long world title reign as a business tycoon instead of tagging with Faarooq and Always Pounding Ass.

My dad called him "The hammy actor with tits", after one time he got put in a surprise cage match and was looking around going "WHAT?" for the 2 minutes it took to lower the cage rather than get out. |

Nah, I was playing the new DLC for 2K16, and it has the Enforcers as part of it and it reminded me of how weird it is seeing Zbyszko wrestle. Then I realised it's basically how Jibble was. Hell, Graves and Saxton are probably gonna end up like that too. |

I remember being surprised finding out that Gorilla Monsoon was a wrestler before he was a commentator. And then I realised he was the size of a house.

Hell I remember Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw. Teaming up with Barry Windham, JR man-crushing over his Hansen-ness. Good times. |

To me, he'll always be the guy who had his undefeated streak broken by Jake Roberts in the spectacularly booked 1996 KOTR tournament, and was then upset by a debuting Freddie Joe Floyd on Superstars a month later.
Two big moments in my very young first summer super into wrasslin'.

He's been on commentary longer than he wrestled under the JBL gimmick, so it's expected.
I'd be more surprised if someone only knew Booker T as a commentator.
