Wrestlers who were ahead of their time

[BurnSlow]

Paul Heyman

Not a wrestler but ECW was ahead of it's time. Indy promotions, WWE and WCW all owe Paul a nod and the latter two fukking ate off his vision in a lot of ways.

I don't know if they'll ever fully acknowledge his impact. Vince's ego probably won't allow it.

Don't think it's a coincidence that they have him speaking for their biggest investment, either.

Kanyon...his moveset was dope

Razor Ramon when he first dropped was ahead of his time, and helped usher in the era of cool heels.

If you look at the "success" of Bray Wyatt, you have to think Waylon Mercy was ahead of his time as well

On the low, The Eliminators, Saturn and Kronus. You can see their influence on indy tag teams to this day.

Jesse the body ventura

 

[Da King]

Superstar Billy Graham. One of the few cats I can watch stuff from from whenever I get ahold of 70's tasking tapes etc and not feel like I'm watching stuff from the stone ages.

He'd have fit in real nice in the Rock N Wrestling era

All Superstar did was give everyone a style to run with

[MrFirst2doit]

Jumping bomb angels. ...go watch the first survivor series from f***in 1987 and your basically seeing two gayle Kim or Litas but in 1987....there were no women touching them at that time

 

[Kang Deezy]

Technically CM Punk circa 2005-2006

Yeah punk would have been a god right now if he just debuted

 

[Doctor Wily]

The Viking (wwf)

Dude didn't have to speak (HUFF... HUFF)and threw muthafukkas out the ring for the 10 count

[Yayo Toure]
