Not as a WWF champion, but I could see him as an AWA world champion. Wasn’t a promo guy, needed as WWF champion, and wasn’t a great wrestler, needed as NWA champion. He was ok at both those skills, so alas, AWA champion Rick Martel was AWA World champ... so, yeah, I could see it. Martel was light years more charismatic than Dino…think about that for a minute lol |

Maybe a transitioning intercontinental champion.... But the big one? Can't see it. If Earthquake didn't get it, then Bravo has no mission

For some reason, as a kid... I always kind of liked Dino Bravo. He was a big powerhouse heel.

He had everything you needed. He was past his prime, he was slow and lumbering, he couldn't cut a promo, he had a terrible gimmick...

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Couldn't really wrestle, couldn't give you a promo, as dull as plain toast.
His one attribute was he could lift heavy shit. In kayfabe, they all can to some degree.
Nope.

Imagine the absolute WTF reaction from the crowd if Bravo had beaten Hogan, Savage or Warrior clean as a sheet for the belt with his side suplex.
Putting the title on him feels like something Vince would have done only if one of the three megastars above refused to lose to one of the others, and it would have to be a transitional situation where Bravo wins it at a house show just before a PPV, then drops it at the PPV, the way Mountie beat Bret from the IC and then lost to Piper. Even then, there would be at least 4-6 heels better suited for that role than Bravo.

Imagine the absolute WTF reaction from the crowd if Bravo had beaten Hogan, Savage or Warrior clean as a sheet for the belt with his side suplex. There's no way he was having a long run. But maybe that WTF reaction, and then fans wanting Hogan, Savage or Warrior to get the belt back from him would have worked. Bravo would have been prancing around letting EVERYONE know he had won and fans would have wanted revenge - fast! |
