I agree that he had his short comings as a performer (below average promo, lacked psychology) that should've prevented him from going to far up the card but I still thought that he kind of got a raw deal during his face run as he did have things going for him (oretty over, good look, athletic ability, cool moveset, cool music). I don't think he should've been World Champion but he still could've been a solid upper midcard for them. Instead they just made him look like a complete dope in the Doink feud and he never really recovered. He did kind of get screwed with the heel turn, almost like Tatanka a year later. Crush seemed more of a natural good guy character. It was great to begin with but after the Macho Man fued the turn really went no where. He was put into a feud with Lex Luger really based on Mr. Perfect leaving but also because of Lex's past with Yokozuna. And when that ran it' course he teamed with Yoko and was almost done by that point. He had a summerslam spectacular match with Lex and no Mr. Fuji in his corner and I don't recall him doing any TV shows until Royal Rumble where even Vince seemed shocked that he was there. Kind of like the "Raven works here?" quote from Vince. I do think Crush gets unfairly blamed for Demolition's destruction and he deserved a repackaging when he came back but after so many repackaging's WWF should know the guy's run is done there.

Yes.
And in 1989, give it to IRS.
And in 1997, give it to Recon.

No.
As threadbare as the mid 90s WWF seemed, if was not so bereft of options that Crush becomes a world title contender. Not everyone that ia over is a world title contender, nod should they be, Crush was IC level at best, really, hd should have been the big guy in a tag team where a better talker could cover his weaknesses.
