9.8

He could do it all. He was an amazing mat wrestler, "aerial technician" (starting to sound like Gorilla Monsoon here...), and brawler. Plus, he cut dynamite promos and was involved in some of my all-time favorite storylines. Heck, he even managed to work a Wrestlemania program out of an issue of WWF Magazine!

The only reason he's not a perfect "10" from me is that he held on a little too long. I have no doubts that he could still wrestle circles around Hulk Hogan or (an admittedly injured) Roddy Piper, but Savage got himself too caught up in his whole shoot/work feud with Hogan, and that is a .2 deduction by Olympic rules.
