Most boring and charisma-less wrestler of all time?

Wrong thread. This is for Joe Malenko, not Dory Funk Jr.

This one was so obvious.

 

Yeah, Joe had even less charisma than Dean. But was he or was he not a better worker ? I dunno. Dean is overrated as hell, so... A bit too harsh.

Great match on the All Japan set. Great match in BattlArts. Has no chance of making my Top 100.

[Tim Cooke]

Also great match in PWFG. But no, not top 100.

[Jetlag]

Joe Malenko should be a lock for my Top 100 Wrestlers I Love But Can't Honestly Call Top 100 All Time list.

[Childs]

I would rank him above Dean, though, for his cool-ass mat spots alone.

[Graham Crackers]

Carl is the best Malenko.

[El-P]

Debbie is the best Malenko.

Debbie is the best Malenko.

We can agree they're all better than Dean, right?

[JerryvonKramer]

I think the anti-Dean stuff has gone a bit too far in this thread.

[goodhelmet]

Agreed... plus Dean is a guy I have enjoyed more on rewatch as I enter into old age.

[Timbo Slice]

Just doesn't have enough for a project like this, but on a per-match basis, he's got some good ones.

Joe was way better than Dean in the Fantastics match on the All Japan set. I am shocked that being bereft of charisma was being levied at Joe based on the handful of matches I have seen him in. He not only does tricked out mat work better than Dean, he’s a better seller & bumper than Dean who looks like he is doing a mini-Brody gimmick. Joe did disappoint a little with Kobashi against the Can-Ams.
