2.5
He only has 1/4 of the business down. He is lacking everything else. So, 25% of 10 is 2.5!

Here is a more in-depth look at my low rating. I hardly give anything below a 5 (exlcuding Bobcore and El Gigante, who got .5 and 0 respectively) and I think that a 2.5 deserves to be explained. IMO, there are 4 integral parts of pro wrestling:

I. Wrestling Ability
II. Ring Psychology
III. Charisma
IV. Mic/Promo Skills

While, by this scale you would think I would give Benoit a mere 5 (for only half of the 4) but when you are GREAT at some of these, it makes up for the lack of the others.

Amazing Red has above-average spot-fest talent. However, this doesn't make him a GREAT wrestler (all around anyway). So these are my individual ratings for Amazing Red:

I. 5.0 (Meh)
II. 0.0 (Seriously, he breaks his neck when missing a 450 corkscrew shooting star press THEN BOOM he is back baby!)
III. 2.0 (Once again, meh)
IV. I can't really judge him here because I haven't seen a lot of his mic work, but from what I have seen it isn't anything to mark-out over. So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a 4.0

Therefore, if you average it you get 2.75, but I round down for ratings so he gets a fat 2.5!

Note: If you do give somebody a incredibly low rating, explain it so you don't come off like a jackass. I however come off as an asshole with this, but I am JamesSteele of TPWW... that's what I do!
