Al Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Mike Rotundo. Former WWF Tag Team champion, on multiple occasions. Bland, but a solid wrestler.
Guest rob Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Savio Vega. He was a solid, hispanic face. He drew a nice reaction for a couple of years without doing much of anything. He had a nice run in 96 against Goldust for the IC Title, and the Austin matches.
Loss Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS Solid midcarder in the early-mid 90s, was part of a WM match against Hogan, was part of a popular tag team at the beginning of the boom, worked as both face and heel, great gimmick for camp value.
Guest teke184 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS. Rotundo was a great tag wrestler during the early years of the WWF national expansion as part of the US Express. He was also able to get a lot of heat as IRS during his early-90s return to the company. Vega was just a giant ball of suck, as the only decent match I ever remember him having was the infamous strap match with Steve Austin shortly before Austin got his first big push in the WWF.
Guest Alfdogg Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Mike Rotundo. I always thought he was underrated on the mic during his IRS period. One half of Money Inc, IMO one of the best teams of the 90's. Vega had a decent looking wheel kick, that's about it.
goodhelmet Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Gotta go with Rotunda all the way, solely for his run with Windham in the US Express.
Guest Mac Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS. Involved in one of the best tag teams of the era, mulitple time tag champion.
Marty Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS. I didn't mind Savio as much as others here do. His strap match with Austin was fine, but he also had a couple good matches with Goldust, IIRC. IRS had more of an impact, and was far successful. The team of Rotundo and DiBiase is one of my all-time favourites.
Guest Some Guy Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS. He had a cheap heat gimmick and he ran with it. I never thought much of his ring work, but he was more sound than Vega. Savio has the Austin series to his credit, but that's it as far as good matches and Austin carried him.
Guest Hunter's Torn Quad Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Mike Rotundo It's a shame that all people can remember is his run as IRS. Go back to pre-IRS Rotundo stuff, and see what the guy could do.
Guest The Man in Blak Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 But...but...Savio was KWANG! Eh, who am I fooling. I vote Mike Rotunda.
MyOwnSummer Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS. Part of two great tag teams and he was always a solid worker.
Guest KingPK Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 IRS Fun little mid-card gimmick and Money Inc. was a great tag team. What did Vega do after Austin?
