I've always loved Flash. I've always felt he was a few steps away from becoming the second Vader. I mean, look at this powerbomb! Lodi vs IWGP Champion Scott Norton. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIeb33own5ANot to mention the fact that Jericho painted him as an AWESOME guy in his book (and has also done so on his website back when he, Benoit, and Storm had their websites all linked) |

Underrated big man. Not terribly charismatic, admittedly, but he was a big guy that could do more than just "punch, kick, powerslam, clothesline". Anyone that can bring a good match out of ICE TRAIN, well, you can't teach that.

Shoulderbreakers, powerbombs, and chops.
that's all he needed.
Really though the style of wrestling I mark for the most is Power wrestling mixed with Brawling. I wish Norton was in WWE as I would have loved to have seen a match against Undertaker.

I think he would of benefitted from being something like Goldberg's ally against the nWo rather than joining it.

I've only ever seen his WCW work, but I always felt that he was underrated and deserved a bigger role. Unfortunately, he had negative charisma.
I think the funniest thing I ever saw him do was at Starrcade 1997 when he interferes in the Sting/Hogan match. Sting punches him one time, he drops to the mat, rolls outside the ring and then just walks around at ringside for another minute or so until the match finishes.

I remember seeing him before he debuted in the AWA and thinking "holy crap that man is HUGE".

I think he would've outshined the nWo if he stood against them. That's probably why they booked him to join it. Scott Norton's not a bad name, either.
If he were booked as an actual monster, it'd have been believable. There are a few wrestlers that I wouldn't even dream of egging on (not that I'd do it to any now, I'm a wimp and know better than to do that) but I would be afraid to even make eye contact with him for fear of insulting him and having him come and destroy the section of the arena I was sitting in.

I was always a Norton mark. TanK in IWA-MS was Tank Norton whan he first started.

Norton was my favorite nWo member. I wish he would have been given a bigger push and never had to team with Bagwell.

Always a big Norton fan. I remember going to a Nitro and being excited that he was going to be in a match.
Then he was squashed in 30 seconds by the Giant. Daggone it.
His shoot interview, made this year, was decent, too.

I loved Norton. He genuinely looked like one of the toughest men on the planet.
And as much as I have problems with Bagwell, I loved Vicious and Delicious.

Norton and Nord as The Lumberjacks ruled Oh! I forgot about that! In his shoot, Norton said he thought it was a rib at first, but got along just fine with Nord. Norton's a lumberjack and...yeah, no joke. He'd break me in half if I tried. |

Wasn't a huge Norton mark, but everything he did looked good and painful.

I was a big fan of Flash mostly because I think the Shoulderbreaker is a terribly underused move and can be pretty sick if done by the right guy. Scott Norton was one of those guys.  |

I've only seen his WCW work, but i've liked the guy since his Fire & Ice days. It's a shame Norton was part of the B-Team in the nWo. Although I did like when he'd come out to beat on The Cat. I loved Norton. He genuinely looked like one of the toughest men on the planet. And as much as I have problems with Bagwell, I loved Vicious and Delicious. Glad to see i'm not the only one that liked them. They really did work well as a team. |

Even before my smark days, I dug Norton. Hated how underutilized he was.
He just screamed "legit", and I thought that was awesome. Should've just given him a mouthpiece and let him loose.
