"O'Connor was talented both on the mat and when brawling. In some of his matches, O'Connor was an aggressive punch-first babyface decades before it became fashionable." Moonsault Marvin

"Has a lot of runs of quality work - 2004, 2006-07, 2009, 2011 - and has built up an impressive resume of great matches over the years. He can do over-acted WWE storytelling stuff, main events, or 13 minute Smackdown matches. Physically super impressive and is one of the best bumpers around. " Jimmy Redman

Low Vote: 100



"Sentimental pick. Hayabusa wasn't on my ballot at all until the last 24 hours, where I had a nagging feeling that I wasn't happy with my final entrant. Busa was the first wrestler I saw a photo of that made me think "I need to see him" and is massively responsible for me starting to buy tapes, and he was always a joy to watch in the ring.

"Most charistmatic lucha guy." Jerryvonkramer

"The simple answer is "because he is that good." He's a malignant goblin, the most charismatic heel on my list to date, even more so than Negro Casas or Buddy Rose, my #2 and #3, even more so than El Satanico and Ric Flair. What's most remarkable is the sheer talent he had, as seen by his 80s title matches, and the fact he was able to almost completely submerge that talent into his obnoxious, rudo character. He's more entertaining than anyone on my list up to this point, immediately catching the eye like no one else. If Satanico represents the idea of the rudo in lucha, Cota transcends lucha itself." Matt D

 

"Motherfucking charisma." simen oem
