7, good wrestler, terrific promos man, great psychology and ahead of his time. points deducted for his personal demons taking over his life.

Fantastic technician, great charisma/microphone skills. From a strict wrestling/entertainment perspective I give him the 8

That's the exact same analysis I used.

Giving him an 8 I feel pretty much the same about him as I did Scott Hall.

9. Loved his promos and his ring work till the booze and drugs got the best of him. Should come back and join the SES :shifty:

8, for his awesomeness in the early 90's.

Letting 'Damien' bite Randy Savage while he was hung up on the ring ropes was one of the greatest heel acts of all time. Jake Snake was king of ring psychology. Put over Austin brilliantly in KOTR 96 as well.

If I'm not taking any of his personal issues into account here, he was the perfect professional wrestlers. He's between a 9 and a 10. I chose ten because all of the good memories I have from him. On ability alone though, he was still one of the best ever when he was sober.

8. The guy was the shit back in the late 80's early 90's. Extremely under-rated in my mind.

Sorry, guy smells like vomit and works like shit. He fucked his legacy and his career up a long time ago.

10. All time favorite. When he was sober he was one of the all time best workers and talkers.
