I'm not that familiar with his work, but everything I have read/heard says he is universally acclaimed and you can't discuss pro wrestling without the Western Lariat.

 

[Jmare007]

Agree with this

They’d get a load of votes as opposed to this thread where about 15 people have voted because most people ain’t seen him enough to form an opinion

I think that's kind of the point though. If anyone wants to learn why Stan is one of the GOATs there's a bunch of links here to watch and enjoy his greatness. None of this lists mean anything anyway so might as well use them to open up people to "new" shyt

I was thinking of starting the thread series sometime this month. Would people prefer having the 2 threads running concurrently each week (one single, one tag team/stable on separate days) or alternate each week with just one thread (singles wrestler one week then tag team/stable next week)?

I just don't want certain users accusing me of "spamming" the board.

On the short list of the all-time great crazy, intimidating heels. Can't think of a single criticism to be honest. His character and matches always delivered. I just wish he had more of a North American presence, but he played it pretty smart career-wise, I think.

Damn near legally blind, too.

Yeah, 10.

It does suck he wasnt as big here cause i need to watch more of his matches...i voted 7, mostly because I cant remember too much of his stuff, since I havnt seen it since I was young but remembr liking it..plus he was in my fav scene in no holds barred

Any matches on the network you think I should check out?

A GOAT. Truly legendary career, having top tier matches through 3 generations, well past his physical prime still putting up 5 star matches. From The Destroyer to Bruno to Inoki to Andre to Baba to Backlund Lawler to Jumbo to Tenryu to Gordy to Vader to Hogan to Misawa/Kobashi/Kawada

10 i loved his matches with Andre

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Blind racist mother ducker is at best a seven
His finisher and opponents were incredible but that’s about it
