Greatest Heel Ever
Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Best Small/Medium Sized Tag Teams
Midnight Express(with manager Jim Cornette they were great. Bobby Eaton/Dennis Condrey version was vicious The Eaton/Stan Lane version was smooth.
Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard(Both original 4horsemen but great workers over as a heel tag team)
Hart Foundation(Brett Hart was the technician and Jim The Anvil Neidhart was the power great team whose different styles complimented each other)
British Bulldogs(Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith was great as well. Kid was explosive like Chris Benoit and Davey was the power)
Rock N' Roll Express(put butts in seats all over the south by being undersized underdogs, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson was magic. Morton could sell a beatdown or a hot tag like a mofo.
The Rockers(Sean Micheals and Marty Janetty was great in both AWA and WWF)
The Gangstaz(New Jack was the psycho and Mustafa Saed was the muscle)
The Eliminators(Perry Saturn and John Kronus was a good team)
Varsity Club(Mike Rotunda was a constant and under the management of Kevin Sullivan The Rotunda/Rick Steiner and Rotunda/Dr. Death Steve Williams teams were beast. Rotunda, Steiner, and Williams were all legit shooters.
Killer Bees(Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell both good workers)
Fabulous Ones(Stan Lane and Steve Kiern was a solid unit)
Fantastics(Tommy Rodgers and Bobby Fulton were a good unit)
Sheepherders/Buswackers(Before going to the WWF as the Sheepherders they were ECW before ECW)
Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine(odd pairing but Vince made it work)
Strike Force(Rick Martel and Tito Santana the Canadian Mexican connection)
Best Strong Style/Physical/Monster Teams
Road Warriors/Legion of Doom(Animal and Hawk was the first team to be not only strong but explosively quick as well. Not the best workers but their charisma and energy was high. They were world champs in the big three promotions NWA, AWA, and WWF)
Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen(terrorized Japan as a monster tag team. Two very scary and imposing big men)
The Brothers Of Destruction(Undertaker and Kane nuff said)
Miracle Violence Connection(Terry Bam Bam Gordy and Dr. Death Steve Williams terrorized Japan(like Brody and Hansen) which is also a huge werestling market)
The Steiner Brothers(Rick and Scott were great talent, strong and explosive)
Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy(two huge and imposing figures on the same team)
Demoliton(Axe Smash Crush were a solid team. First considered a Road Warrior knock-offs they eventually made their own mark with great in ring work)
The Koloffs(Ivan and Nikita Koloff was a great unit with the veteran Ivan teaching a young Nikita how to have ring presence, great during the 80s when US and Russian tensions was high on the world stage)
Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow(was over in Japan, two agile nearly 400 pounder guys)
The Wild Samoans(Afa and Sika, one is Roman Reigns father the other is his uncle, the Samoans were a physical team)
Bruiser Brody and John Nord(Nord was known as Berzerker in WWF but a veteran Brody was teaching a young Nord how to work)
The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff(both extremely good veteran workers and both very strong guys. Like the Koloffs a good anti-american heel team)
Harlem Heat(Booker T and Stevie Ray started off as a mid card heel team in WCW but worked their way up to multi time champs)
Doom(Butch Reed and Ron Simmons very strong and mean)
APA(Ron Simmons and JBL was great as a strong style team and a great gimmick that was over)
The Sky Scrapers(Sid Vicious and Danny Spivey both guys over 6'6 and mean as hell. Sid was replaced by Mark Callous better known as himself in WCW before going to WWF and becoming the Undertaker)
The Faces of Fear(Meng and The Barbarian two scary Tongan guys)
The Powers of Pain(Warlord and Barbarian was a solid team. Barbarian carried this team but still a good team)
The Nasty Boys(not best of shape but two physical big men who were great workers)
The Executioners(Big John Studd and Killer Kowalski. A veteran Kowalksi teaching a young Big John Studd the ropes back in the 70s)
Best Jobber/enhancement talent/jabroni
Special Delivery Jones(most famous black jobber would have been a mid card star in any other promotion, in the WWF he was the baby face jobber to the heel stars).
Iron Mike Sharpe(was actually a decent star in the south but once he went to Vince he became a heel jobber to the baby faces star with his never healing braced arm).
Mike Jackson(the Alabama Jr. Heavy weight champion LOL, looks like a gym teacher but was over as a jobber because he looked so ordinary. He was a beloved baby face jobber in all the southern territories. as of last year he is still wrestling and is in great shape for someone in their 70s)
Rene Goulet(was very old but in French Canada and France he was a star and not a jobber, on WWF tv he was a great heel jobber and performer).
The Mulkey Brothers(Randy and Bill Mulkey two hapless brothers with no muscle tone who got the crap beat out of them, anyone who need laughs just youtube Mulkey Brothers vs. Midnight ExpressJim Cornette was comedic genius when it came to the Mulkeys)
Rocky King(the second most famous black jobber after SD Jones, I always felt both Ole Anderson and Dusty Rhodes were dicks in never giving Rocky King at least a mid card push in NWA/WCW. Anytime you saw Rocky King on tv you knew he was going to lose and lose badly to whatever heel he was fed to).
The Unpredictable Johhny Rodz(should have been at least a mid card talent)
Jose Louis Rivera(should have been a mid card talent)
Barry Horowitz(great cocky heel jobber who was a good worker)
Pete Doherty(The Duke of Dorchester was a great WWF jobber)
Kenny Sodbuster Jay(great AWA jobber)
Jake The Milkman Milliman(great AWA jobber)
Out of Town Snake Brown(Georgia Championship jobbers) Speaking of that promotion they had the worst looking jobbers ever, it is like they just grabbed random people off the streets of ATL and aksed them did they want to wrestle LOL.
You don't know shit about old wrestling.
HAH! Just fuggin with you. You're a beast cuz. Did you wrestle, write or were involved first hand in some way?
Nobody took bumps like NEW JACK
You watch that "dark side of the ring" special about him? You gotta check that shit out... it talk about that time he fucked up that big white boy in the ring, had him leaking all over the place... all because he wanted to get a few bumps in against him...
new jack was like "that was the most disrespectful shit I ever heard... I HAD to fuck him up"
Remember that time they stopped smack down when he imploded the ring after suplexing Big Show from the top rope???
That shit was INSANE
Yea I watched all that shit
u seen when he beat up that old man cause he wasn’t selling new jack moves?
NEW JACK would make Mick Foley look like a Girl Scout Selling cookies
They woulda had to pay me extra if Tajiri was gonna do that green spit spray shit
Yeah I remember that.
He picked up Big Show with ease several times during that match.
Unreal man.
I remember Martel and Zenk. I meant to mention them.
It's safe to say you grew up in WWF tv market in the 80s. Only Ricky Steamboat was the lone NWA standout. The rest on your list were already standouts before Steamboat came to the WWF.
Not necessarily my favorite. But I've actually used this move in several street fights and made people boo hoo cry.
No joke.
The Camel Clutch by the Iron Shiek.

My Grandfather put me on, as he was a fan since he came to foreign.
I lost interest, shortly after. I haven't watched a match since the 80's.
