What the thread line means is, what wrestlers played out their gimmick/persona to such a damn T?
Two great examples for me personally would be "Mr. Perfect" and early Undertaker.
With Mr. Perfect, Curt Hennig had the ring skills to make such a moniker look possibly legit, and as well such an air of ARROGANCE to him that is given off without any promos. Plus, those promos of him beating up poor Wade Boggs are still funny.
"Yes, that was...absolutely PERFECT!"
Plus, being the Executive Consultant for Ric Flair seemed so natural, it just did....jump suit included.
And for Undertaker.....just how before the gothic insanity and the Fake Undertaker or whatever, "The Undertaker" was a very stoic, pale ghost-like figure who seemed immune to pain (including my favorite part of the act, when he gets his head slammed into the turnbuckles, only to slowly turn his head around, and give that look of "is that the BEST you can do?")
Anyway, sorry for my geek writing.
