"The ultimate "knew his role" guy. Canada's Greatest Athlete was rarely put in a position to have great matches or stand out, but he remains memorable thanks to his work. A big powerful guy, he'd make his opposition look great by stooging, missing big with wild swings and loudly protesting. His offence looked good, nice clubbing blows and though he rarely won, he still made it look impressive to beat him"

I love Iron Mike Sharpe, he's got a very good shot of being my #100 final guy on the list. Watching WWF Prime Time from 1986 can be a chore in places, a lot of dull Sivi Afi or Tony Garea matches, and Sharpe manages to make both guys seem entertaining. I love how he makes potentially tedious lower card matches more interesting with his stooging, the way he plays to the back rows with his selling and offence. Just a really fun guy to watch.

Maybe my earliest wresting memory was when Iron Mike Sharpe was facing Corporal Kirchner on All American Wrestling. Kirchner was kicking ass, and Iron Mike Sharpe took a powder and walked all the way back to the dressing room, I had never seen anything like it and was wondering what was going on. He eventually made it back to the ring to get beat, and I made sure to watch the following week.

Iron Mike Sharpe always brings a smile to my face and if anyone wants to use one of the bottom spots on their list on him, you'll get no fight from me.
