I was watching some Four Horsemen promos and Dean Malenko is in a few of them. Obviously not known for his personality, I couldn't help but think "He's actually not a bad talker by today's standards." Because everyone is given scripts and charisma is stifled. And the look isn't important anymore. And being in the Four Horsemen was still kind of cool and a pretty big push based on talent in a company and time where talent meant shit.
I dunno, I'm just spit-balling here, but I think if Dean Malenko were around today, he'd probably be given the NXT Title and be used in the main event scene today. Not sure if he would actually be WWE Champion, but it wouldn't shock me. Maybe I'm just being cynical about the lack of charisma in wrestling today.
