I don't think Bray is a hell of a worker either, but I think it's laughable to say Bo is better.

Bo may have been in the safest ladder match possible but I think Rowan would die in any ladder match.

Actually, I remember quite enjoying Legion of Doom vs. Money Inc. at Summerslam '92. That was a nifty tag. You can't do an R&R/Midnights formula tag with The Roadies as the faces since neither can be face in peril. They came up with something else that worked.

I'll look that one up, that does sound fun.

I had seen Bo on NXT, but when I watched his Smackdown match, I noticed that his running clothesline looks exactly like Bray's. The way they launch, the lunge, everything. The only difference seems to be 30 pounds of gut (that don't slow Bray in the slightest).

Maybe it's the way Kevin Dunn shoots those moves, but it really stood out to me.

Rowan always looks incredibly awkward and clumsy on offense, but he sells really well (which is rare for a big man) against just about everybody he wrestles, which has included Rey Mysterio, so I think he'd be better in a ladder match than you'd assume.

It's real dumb, there was a week long conversation about giving bo the belt, it may still be going on. Real dumb but the current product doesn't dictate much more, clearly.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

Think of the time period.

There really weren't classic matches in IRS's day with the exception of occasional Bret or Shawn matches where they were against someone not horrible in the ring. The WWF wrestling product was drizzling poo poo until the main events of the attitude era. Any time before that and they'd literally only have 1 or 2 good in ring workers on the roster.

I went on a recent OSW Review kick through all the Hulkamania era. WWF during the time period IRS was wrestling had horrible wrestling.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that nothing he ever did stands out in my memory. He was not one of those 1 or 2 good in ring workers, at least not to the point where I can name a single match of his I remember.

Yeah, he sucked. But everything in the WWF sucked. Everything sucked so hard that sucking as bad as a Handi-Vac food sealer was so much better than sucking as bad as a Pullman AS5 industrial vacuum cleaner or a black hole.

So, he played a sucky stupid character who couldn't wrestle in a federation of sucky stupid characters who couldn't wrestle. He was just better than most at portraying his stupid sucky character. Like The Honkey Tonk man. Can't be remembered as anything but an mildly amusing pop-culture reference, but at least he's remembered.

The funniest part of that time period is the WWF having Ric Flair, who was freaking awesome in the ring and on the mic, and relegating him to dark matches and run ins. I mean, who is he? He's no Sid Justice.
