Will said in the Hayes thread that Gordy slides down his list everytime he discovers someone new which I can understand because what's fresh in the mind and new to you will stand out in the moment like any great new album but let's not put any shade on Gordy here. Gordy was a great worker basically from the beginning and was one of the most consistent guys in the business before his health issues caught up with him. Gordy had great matches in every environment he was in no matter the territory he excelled other than WWF. Gordy's matches with the Von Erichs, Dr. Death, One Man Gang are legendary here and then in Japan his matches with Jumbo, Misawa, et al before his stroke were even better. Gordy took over Hansen's role as the best gaijin worker in Japan and was phenomenal in the role and then hooked up with Doc to form one of the most dominant tag teams ever which is amazing considering they only had a 2 year run.
There's nothing wrong with "finding" great lost workers but Gordy's run should not be overshadowed because we have had pretty much every important match he had for the past few years.
