Hey yo, everybody. This is RTW, TPWW's original rating thread. Respect the originators, boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *b-boy pose*.

All tomfoolery aside, let's get on with the ratings. Last night, Kidman scored a 75. Not bad, not great. Today, I had an epiphany: I thought we should vote on guys who never get any appreciation, the jobbers. These guys bust their asses putting over talent higher up on the card and never get a title run or anything. Hell, they don't even get theme music.

That said, today's wrestler is a former jobber. He's a man who is probably most known for patting himself on the back and not winning a match in 11 straight years. He climbed out of jobber hell by beating Skip (and I think Zip too, but I don't rightly recall).

Happy Voting

Yeah but funk, he wasn't over, otherwise he wouldnt have been a permanent jobber. He cant even get a 3 on that category.

For what he was, he gets a 4.

Barry wasn't supposed to be over. He was an enhancement talent, and that's what he did better than most when he worked - elevate the talents. It's not as easy it may or may not look to make some of these guys look good, but Barry did it.

Barry could work a solid match with just about anybody, and has worked great bouts in FL over the recent years with Mike Graham, Shark Boy and tons of others. He is a very underrated talent, and I'm sure if you ask anyone who has worked with him they will tell you - he's very good in the ring.

Helmsphere...be aware, the nazi is back on board :mad:


and...NO! ur wrong, Al snow busts his arse, is given crappy gimmicks and made them work!
His best match was against some1 many rate as the worst wrestler in the WWE, hardcore holly.

He was also behind the success of Tough Enough, and with luck, some tough enough guys will make it...looks like maven is getting there slowly


For my rating of Barry Horowitz, i am drawing blanks...so i think i'll pass

Well, I've been the one stickying, closing and unstickying these every day. And I've always been the one to fill in when Helmsphere wasn't going to be able to do it on a particular day, so now that he's going to be away 3 days a a week on a regular basis, it's natural that I be the semi-replacement.

Also, I found out that there are quite a few people who don't know how to calculate averages here on TPWW, so I was pretty much the only guy qualified anyway.

Wow you really shown me, I never knew just how great Al Snow really was. I just have one question: Does it get hot having your head up Al Snows ass all the time? because I imagine it would get quite warm, and it would also smell pretty bad.

What are your thoughts on the fact that Molly herself said that Al was one of the most amazing and under rated workers in the industry?

Good for her, she can have all the opinions she wants. She can take her opinions stick them in a big opinion pot, pour some broth in and make opinion soup, I rightly don't give a damn. Al Snow sucks and anyone with a working brain knows it.

Al Snow sucks and anyone with a working brain knows it.So you're a fan of Molly but you think she's a moron? Nevermind the fact that pretty much the rest of the roster and staff agrees, so I suppose the entire wrestling industry sans CZW is full of morons?

But you said Al Snow sucks and that anyone with a functioning brain would know that, she said he's amazing. So wouldn't that by default make her totally
incompetent in your view?

Then she's totally incompetent, so is the majority of the world. Hell i'm surprised you drool monkies can even figure out how to type who come to these boards.
