Look, I'm not bashing him; he is one of my all time favorites, top five for sure. However, I'm going to rate him objectively, and not according to how I personally feel.

He was one of the best ring psychologists EVER. To me, how he was as a performer might have been rated higher if he could have kept his shit together and therefore perhaps accomplished more. His crack addiction cost him the ability to capitilize on opportunities that would have helped to justify the 9.5 I would have given him otherwise. Its not like 8 is terrible. It still puts him in the same league with really good guys.
I wasn't aiming this any anyone in particular, just that some people may take that into consideration.

And to be fair his work rate in the WWF from what I can remember wasn't tarnished that much by drugs, he still performed well.

It was when he started the indy circuit that things went downhill, I should know i've worked on 4 shows that he's been working on (cheap plug!).

-EDIT- That is exactly what I'm talking about. His earlier stellar work would have garnered him the 9.5 but then he fell to an 8; which is still respectful.

Three or four, enough times to justify my 8.
