What?! Why are you deriding Hulk Hogan? Don't you know that he got to be a star because of his star power?

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-25-2017 05:46 AM

that is literally 24% above what you rated Braun's look. #HateradeBrigade desperately trying to fit their narrative.

Ol Dirty Dastard 09-25-2017 06:28 AM

Man Savage and Steamboat was a real *** 1/2 star gem.

Who's the 100/100?

Anybody Thrilla 09-25-2017 12:41 PM

Probably just wiggle room just in case.

Nobody's perfect. That's what Dale's last sexual partner told him to make him feel better but it also happens to be true.

#1-norm-fan 09-25-2017 06:23 PM

I feel like DAMN iNATOR is gonna come in here, quote that post, and then post a picture of Curt Hennig. So hopefully this post will stop him in his tracks.

Then again, me saying that will probably cause him to post something like "I PLAY BY MY OWN RULES" and then post it anyway.

Goddammit.

She actually said everybody has been perfect other than me. She rated me 75/100 :'(

Let us not forget it was actually me that ran Noid off the last time he left. Now he's back and less entertaining than ever!

My Final Heaven 09-25-2017 07:43 PM

I'd have Morrison on my roster, without even giving it any thought. He's a guy that could be built as the face of a company, it's just that he hasn't been given the chance yet. Everybody was on his nuts when he was ECW champion feuding with Punk, if you found the right rival for him you could be making Scrooge McDuck cash. Morrison, you can work him Face or Heel, but Miz - anybody remember when he was Patriotic Mini-Flair?

And to address the elephant in the room:

That moment, right there, that's reason everybody's been putting Miz on a pedestal for a year. He hasn't stepped up his game or put himself thru a "career renaissance", he just said I Hate This Company a couple times & all of a sudden he should be unifying all of the belts because OMFG PIPE BOMB GUIZ :lol:

Lock Jaw 09-25-2017 07:53 PM

Miz has been going through a "career renaissance" ever since he started his Hollywood thing..... his thing with Damien Mizdow, etc....

IMO

You're arguing shades of good instead of shades of great. It's the same principle.

I kind of agree with you. I mean, I appreciate what Maryse brought to the act and everything, but he's overrated. His Talking Smack appearance was Alexa Bliss' Harley Quinn cosplay.

75% is a D in my neck of the woods. Not that letter grades matter.

I would rate his look higher, personally. I've been sitting here trying to think of current WWE wrestlers who have a better look, and it is really hard. Roman Reigns probably has the best look right now. Cena is close to or better in the look department than Braun. Would have said Brock a couple years ago but he seems chunkier now and always turns beet red and starts sweating enough to cause the great flood of Noah, so he would now be below Strowman. Jinder has a good look if you ignore his vascular roidinosis. I'd have Big E way on up there too. But yea Strowman is def top 5 in look department in recent memory for me, probably top 3.

#1-norm-fan 09-26-2017 05:07 PM

Orton has a better look.

#1-norm-fan 09-26-2017 05:11 PM

Also, this movie star who somehow fell into WWE's lap.

I did a list, and when it came to the main event look, I went with Cena, Orton, Reigns, Brock, Jinder (you've got to give him something), Kane, Big Show, Sheamus, Big E, Samoa Joe and Fandango as having an equal or better look. Then, you've got guys who look good or distinct without necessarily being in the main event -- Goldust presents himself well, R-Truth is still in phenomenal shape, Xavier Woods, AJ Styles, Neville, Tye Dillinger, etc.

Part of having a good look is having the right look for your role too. I'd rate so many guys in history over Braun. Ric Flair has a better look than Strowman, in my opinion, because Flair looked like The Nature Boy and an icon every time he walked out. Braun is big. That's a huge deal (literally), but there needs to be more going on there.

Anyway, if you're going by percentile, Braun is arguably not in the top 10 percentile of WWE right now, let alone historically. So I could make the case he isn't even a 9.0 using only current and respective ratings, but even if you only conceded that Orton, Cena, Reigns and Brock were better right now, I'm sure when you're honest about his place historically, you'll admit he slips down.

#1-norm-fan 09-28-2017 06:20 PM

He does have kind of a Eugene face. Like... if they wanted to use him as a big, lovable retarded guy he could pull it off easily and the same people praising his look now would not be praising his look. His booking definitely plays into how people are perceiving his look.

#1-norm-fan 09-28-2017 06:23 PM

This Lars Sullivan guy Triple A posted about blows him away in the look department.

If Strowman is a 9+, you've gotta add numbers to the scale to fit this big, ugly, no-nonsense looking motherfucker in.

Yeah, absolutely. Remember him bouncing around as a Rosebud? Eventually the guy is going to be getting the hot tag and crowds will be cheering slightly louder than average for him. His look isn't actually perfectly fitted for his gimmick, but he's been booked to suit that and people are kind of projecting that look onto him.

Also, Lars Sullivan is genuinely terrifying. If I made Strowman an 8.5, that would mean I'd need to at least make Sullivan a 9 or 9.5. This is how you blow up your own scale.

Anybody Thrilla 10-01-2017 09:48 PM

Chicks dig Lars Sullivan. Or he kills them.
