Who? Tho.

A top 20-15 wrestler ever. Outstanding heel, one of those guys who would make everything they did in the ring matter, make sense, and translate it to awesome matches

Bock had great heel promos. He would break shyt down for the viewer, spew nuthin but facts and he was always dressed up lookin like champion material.

This is why I'm not surprised about how shytty the WWE is right now. Vince is only good when he has other promotions to steal from.

RIP to Nick. He was a pioneer of the suited up heel gimmick.

Without Nick Bockwinkel your favorite heel wouldnt exist. He and Gino Hernandez were the pioneers of the modern era. May he Rest in Peace
