Admit it - -you just forgot him.
No - he sucked.
He was big and an attraction for his time.
Especially since there was no social media back then - he was a draw like a circus freak (hope that didn't sound cold) you'd hear stories about.
I'd put him in the late teens - maybe low 20s - and that's just because he was a giant and had physical prowess - but little if nothing else 
He's probably a couple of picks above Hillbilly Jim.....
Sting and Ultimate Warrior are such losers - - you might as well have put Lex Lugar in there. Obviously very impressed by superheroes.

Sting along with Ric Flair pretty much made WCW - he had a major impact on the business. Pretty much reinvented himself too with 'Crow Sting' after 'Surfer Sting' - then yet again in TNA with 'Joker Sting' all before finally jumping ship to WWE and still getting a major pop from fans - a lot of whom weren't even born when he first started wrestling.
He had the look, the skill, the presence - the fans gravitated towards him and he was pretty much a main eventer his entire life.
Do you remember when the Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania VI? Would you ever have thought people would have being cheering on another competitor vs. Hogan at that time? And they gave them the strap as well?
Again - the look, the presence - fans were fanatic about him - had a huge following - the crazy over the top promos.

You know, I actually thought of that before posting, but then I figured that if a thumb can't be considered a finger it would mean that we only have eight fingers, instead of ten.

Bill Simmons ain't doing a documentary on Ultimate Warrior. The guy wrestled as Jim Helwig and Dingo Warrior. Sorry, that immediately makes you ineligible to be in the top ten.

Top 10 cheesiest Stephen King adaptations: 1) Maximum Overdrive 2) The Langoliers 3) The Tommyknockers 4) Sometimes They Come Back 5) The Mangler 6) Cell 7) The Dark Tower 8) The Shining (miniseries) 9) Dreamcatcher 10) Thinner Honorable Mentions: The Lawnmower Man (doesn't really count) Sleepwalkers (original screenplay, not an adaptation) The Running Man (not very Kingian, more Arnold cheese) The Stand (pretty serious and well made in the early parts, and kinda intense to watch now, but the latter special effects and tone are quite cheesey.. very uneven episodes for a miniseries) The Mangler? Never heard of it and I am a HUGE King fan. Loved the first The Stand. That one made me a big Gary Sinise fan.

A classic. There sure were a lot of sitcoms in those days. Seems like there are much fewer now.

Never heard of it and I am a HUGE King fan. Loved the first The Stand. That one made me a big Gary Sinise fan. The Mangler is Tobe Hooper directed Robert Englund/Ted Levine starring adaptation of a Stephen King short story about a possessed laundry folding machine. It's got some good people involved, but it's absolutely terrible... however, it's zero budget knock-off sequel with Lance Henriksen is even worse. I just watched The Stand for the first time recently. I liked it overall, but it gets really silly and cheesey as it goes on. It's understandable. Mick Garris does a pretty solid job, especially in the earlier episodes, of balancing a lot of story threads and telling a huge story on a small budget. But the budget really catches up with them later. It's a story on a massive scale and I think the reach exceeds the ability to execute it. Some silly performances and some really shoddy 90s TV special effects make it hard to take seriously. But it's actually a valiant effort, and the cast is mostly good. Especially Gary Senise as the sort of simple hero. He gets this stoicism and righteousness across without seeming simplistic or annoying. He's just trying to be a good guy in a horrible situation. But that first episode and the panic that ensues when they disease begins to spread is pretty eerie at the moment. |

Cowboys - love em or hate em, the star holds power 4. Saints - encapsulates the region 5. Chiefs - looking good 6. Bills - always liked this one 7. Giants - simplicity and class 8. Steelers - vintage 9. Colts - what’s not to like about a horseshoe? 10. Vikings - unique I’m not a fan of the “classic” logos like Bears and Packers (“here’s a letter”), outside of the Giants, and I generally hate the generic “animal” logos like Panthers, Jaguars, Ravens etc. That said the Texans logo is the worst. Generic arena league. |
