TSC Evaluation #127: Steve Corino

If people have any requests for future wrestlers you want to see evaluated, let me know. I'll have one wrestler evaluated for each week every Wednesday. The leaderboard is updated every 5 threads so it's never too late to vote for previous threads.

For #129 it will be Sgt Slaughter.

Pending requests: Jerry Lynn, Bad News Brown, The Great Muta, Ultimo Dragon, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Austin Aries, Road Dogg

Probably the best "fiery babyface" ever. Just too much awesome matches and :krs: moments to not give him a 10.

I don't think he's legit GOAT material (he's not top 5 in puro to me) but he's as close as you can get.

Kobashi's roar before going into the finishing sequence (time stamped) is an absolutely magnificent display of selling the desperation and riling himself and the audience up at the same time. :banderas:
