I think for him to be in consideration as a great heel he would have to have done much more for a lot longer. Wrestling women from the crowd was a pretty great idea though, and the addition of some national exposure for Jerry Lawler was a nice result.
I don't rate his work or his gimmick much higher than "interesting novelty" but I respect the attention he brought with him.
He was probably a better worker than Rufus R Jones though.
