Okay so Hulk Hogan is arguably the greatest ever because he managed to make so much money while doing almost no 'spots,' per se. He was even capable of more, as anyone who has seen his Japanese work knows, but past a certain point he only needed promos, the big point at a guy, hulk up, big boot, leg drop. Maybe some elbow drops and clotheslines thrown in for the lulz. Few in wrestling have managed to achieve so much while doing so little. Which brings me to Mr William 'Ass' Gunn Esquire, one of the Boys in my OSW Stable. Billy Gunn, in 2022, is possibly the most over he has ever been. He has the hottest selling shirt on AEW's store, in a promotion with Punk, Brian, Cole, Sting, Kenny, The Bucks, etc. He has been in wrestling for decades, and also still looks incredible because he would melt a testing cup from two continents over Hogan brought promos, charisma, a great look, and became the most well known wrestler ever What does big Billy ballbags bring to the table? Wrestling skills? Despite being the 'worker' of his tag team, he had asthma so couldn't go for long. Also, name me one good Billy Gunn match that was in any way good because of what Billy brought to the table. I'll wait. Charisma? Sure, he's got some, I guess. Gimmick? Cowboy, then different kind of cowboy, then 'Here is my butt' until 2000, then 'here is my nothing, hope Benoit doesn't kill me too hard' then 'extremely 2000s sorta gay dudes', then 'overcompensating woman hater' in Russo TNA, then then 'remember me, I'm Billy Gunn' for a bit, and now Daddy Ass. Promo time? Name one good Billy Gunn promo. Billy Gunn brings nothing to the table, but must be a millionaire, has had runs in almost every major company, and is super over three decades in. Nobody else has achieved this much, with this little talent. What a man.

Btw, with that criteria, the real answer is Kevin Nash. He has more World Title reigns than he does moves!

I had a muffin this morning. Don't think I won't escalate to chair throwing and biting!

I admire the fact that through all the gimmick changes he's had, Honky Tonk Man's protege, degenerate, buttock aficionado, sell out, The One, pretending to be gay, father of 2 losers, Scissor Daddy.
He still has his gimmick cowboy name, wonder how many people have kept that through so many distinct different gimmicks.
