Stuttsy Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Singles wrestler Chavo Guerrero Jr. has GOT to be up there for me, at least among modern era guys. Quote
MikeCampbell Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 I've always found it bizzare that there were only a few guys on the ROH roster that had more heat than Jimmy Rave in 2005-06, and that there were also fewer who were so boring to actually watch work. Quote
Timbo Slice Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 John Walters is right there, Mike. Â EDIT: OOOOOH! AND CHAD COLLYER! Quote
MikeCampbell Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 John Walters is right there, Mike. I might be biased because Walters did some good stuff in 2CW years later, but Walters had that match with Daniels and the Xavier feud to his credit. I'm at a complete loss for anything from Rave that's even close to the Daniels match. And, Rave had a much longer run and a lot more quality opponents than Walters. Quote
Timbo Slice Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Jimmy Rave Approved was a lot of fun in 2010 and some of the best stuff I saw from him. He really worked well in 6-mans but was totally exposed in singles matches. Quote

goc Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Jimmy Rave was the standout "why the hell did they bring THIS guy to India" worker for me watching Ring Ka King. I thought he had awful looking gear, a really generic indy moveset and a crappy look. Quote
anarchistxx Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 I've always found it bizzare that there were only a few guys on the ROH roster that had more heat than Jimmy Rave in 2005-06, and that there were also fewer who were so boring to actually watch work. That was his whole whole gimmick, as bizarre as it sounds on paper. He was meant to work matches like a generic boring WWE heel of the period, with the requisite rest holds and mannerisms and dull offence. His finish was even the Pedigree to get even more heat. Â Rave was one of the most entertaining wrestlers in that period, precisely because he was such an antidote to the go-go-go style everyone else was working. His stable was fantastic, his character was fun as hell, he could work the mic decent enough, and his matches were usually at least average and at the very least a little different to everything else on thew show. He garnered a lot of praise at the time for someone who actually had pacing and restraint. Â He had his fair share of decent matches as well. The feud with CM Punk was enjoyable enough, especially the cage match. He also had an absolutely brilliant match with Matt Sydal on one show, just a perfect ten minute sprint, Angle/Mysterio from Summerslam would be the aptest comparison. Not seen him in years so maybe he has declined. Â He is way, way better than someone like BJ Whitmer, who actually was trying hard and going for broke with every match working this paradoxically tedious high impact style without any character or charisma. He has to be a candidate for most boring. Quote
Guest stanley Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 For me its a tie. Dino Bravo and Larry z.Don't give a shit what Dino ddid in the 70's and 80's or what Larry did in the 80's and 90'd. Quote
Matt D Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 What the hell man! What the hell. You don't just drop that without some words of explanation. Quote
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Bobby Eaton Everyone grab a pitchfork on your way out the door. I've already loaded the torches in the back of the truck. Let's roll. Quote
909 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Bobby Eaton No... Â Â Mike Rotunda would be my answer. Not a fan of his, uh, deliberate style, and specifically as IRS, his over-use of the chinlock. He had some interesting skits as IRS, but in the ring, no thanks. Quote
Crazymax Jack Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014  Bobby EatonNo...  Mike Rotunda would be my answer. Not a fan of his, uh, deliberate style, and specifically as IRS, his over-use of the chinlock.  First thing that came to my mind was Rotunda, specifically the IRS run, but Rotunda in general. Nobody loved a chinlock better. It's like you read my mind! lol  As for the Bobby Eaton guy.... common now... Quote
Dylan Waco Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I can't believe people are still falling for the aceman gimmick Quote
Guest aceman Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Growing up I always found Eaton really bland. He had no personality and couldn't talk, which made he seem like the least important member of MX / Dangerous Alliance. The blond mullet in an era where every second wcw wrestler had one didn't help him stand out either. Quote
Bix Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I can't believe people are still falling for the aceman gimmickFFS, it's been like 10 years now. Quote
Guest stanley Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 When you could wrestle like Eaton and had cornette as your manager you could be a deaf mute. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I can't remember who I said before in this thread but I've changed it for Jimmy Garvin. The Freebirds were horrible after 89 but at least Hayes felt like he was just a creepy, slightly annoying, past-it rock star. Garvin is one of the most embarrassing examples of a guy 'play acting at being a wrestler' ( or rock star) I've seen. A lousy sack of shit from the Rotunda school of charisma. Quote
Bix Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Jimmy Garvin shouldn't be judged on Freebirds Jimmy Garvin. Quote
goodhelmet Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Garvin had a solid match at Super Brawl IV and was pretty great in Texas, In between, not so much. Quote
Blehschmidt Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Watching King of the Ring 1993, and it reminded me.....man Mr. Hughes was horrible and boring. Quote
