    Ricky Santana

    I remember that horrendous match of his as Iceman in IWA Japan on the King of Death Match card. I do think he had some decent stuff over there though.

    Jerry Blackwell

    Kinda like the mix between a short One Man Gang and a proto-Mick Foley (those bumps as a heel). So yeah, really good worker. Although he had the very annoying habit as a babyface of doing no-sell hulk up/lawler up comebacks, which always suck no matter who you are. So I prefer him as a heel. Better than Bigelow, no doubt. Vader ? Nah. Decent match. Nothing special at all. It's Blackwell, a ladder and a tool. Granted, that tool took one nice bump at the end, but he really doesn't bring shit in term of anything else, really. DeBeers is like Jimmy Golden with an offensive gimmick.

    Dean Malenko

    We can agree on this. Guido was a better mat-worker, understood how to work a crowd and how to build a match better, not to mention he was more charismatic.

    Isamu Teranishi

    Lovable 80's junior troll-looking underrated worker.

    Bobby Fulton

    Much better than he's usually given credit for. Pretty much smokes Robert Gibson too.
  6. He used to be overrated during the "Tiger Mask is king" years. At this point, no idea.

    Dean Malenko

    One of the most overrated worker of the 90's. Worked in a vaacum. Kicked out of his own pin attempts so he could do cool looking sequences. Worked better as a fiery babyface, but he needed a solid heel who would push him. Great mechanic involved in some great matches, but not a great worker by any stretch of the imagination.
  8. Ah, my father told me once that when he was a teenager he and some friends would sneak in to watch Le Bourreau de Béthune and L'Ange Blanc.
  9. Like a shoot of cocaïne in the arm of tag-team Japanese wrestling. Amazing.
  10. Ole was way too boring and un-bumping.
  11. Is this the tag team from AJ where Hansen looked like gold (as he usually does anyway) and Ted looked like a dull and unimpressive worker ?

    The Rockers

    Terrific team. The Rock'n Roll updated. Shawn Michaels at his peak (controversial opinion, but there you go). Pretty good longevity too all things considered.
  13. Better than the sum of its part. Morton was an all-time great worker. Gibson was okay and looked like crap. The tag team was awesome. And despite looking totally outdated, they could still deliver during the MNW era, as showed by matches on Nitro and Raw. Yeah. Pretty terrific team, and the picture perfect 80's babyface team.
  14. Bomb throwers. Couldn't work a proper tag team match worth a shit. Overrated as hell.
  15. Awesome team. But I prefer Kawada & Taue. Still, just an out of this world tag team.
  16. Both were overrated, especially Yamada, and I always enjoyed their opponents better, in pretty much every situations. Tons of great matches though.
  17. Awesome team when they worked together.
  18. Underrated brawlers. I'm talking about Butch & Luke. Plus people forgot that when they got into the WWF, they were already past 40 and reinvented themselves pretty efficiently. Yeah, love me some Bushwhackers too actually. Not seen enough of the other formula, and Rip Morgan kinda sucked anyway.

    Demolition

    Double ax handle. Double as handle. Zzzzzzz….. Great SM look and theme song. Too bad they couldn't convey the fact they were truly demolishing their opponents though. But still not as boring as the Fabs.
  20. Greatest team ever ? Yeah ? Yes.
  21. The Rougeau heel stuff is pretty cool and annoying in a good way (kinda like Larry Z). I'd need to watch their Montreal stuff. I got the feeling Raymond is pretty underrated.

    Footloose

    Awesome awesome team. Yeah, the Kroffat/Furnas series is insane. Kawada was still searching himself but was already one hell of a worker and Fuyuki worked harder than ever at this point.

    The Fantastics

    Fulton is very underrated. I'm kinda surprised about the love they seem to recieve here, as they are very much a workrate tag team. No wonder they ended up in Japan to end they career. I'm not sure where I stand with them anymore. Always liked them a lot, but my appreciation for Ricky Morton got up quite a bit after my WCW/SMW watch, so maybe I'd have the Rock'n Roll Express higher at this point. Or maybe not, and only Morton's stock went way up. Great team anyway.

    The High Flyers

    I've watched a bunch recently. Terrific team, really. Greg Gagne was much better than I would have guessed from his rep, and Brunzell was much better than thought too. Need to rewacht a bunch of Killer Bees, although Brian Blair's dull ass may be hard to swallow (or maybe I underrate him a bit ?).
  25. After a while, even I got used to Lane's idiotic kicks. Awesome team of course.
