As a kid I always liked Justin Gabriel and thought he was the best thing on many WWE shows. I still don't get why they fired him.

Don't know why he got let go but WWE released so many talent with big potential in that mid 2000s period.

I quite like Wheeler Yuta. I don't think he deserved the short main event exposure that he had, but he is a good wrestler who plays his role very well, which is that of the angry young boy with a chip on his shoulder. He's crisp and he's got character. His promos are decent.

he was in 2 kino matches at the start of Royal Rumble 91 and 92. I unironically do like Pat.
91 Rumble is Orient Express vs Rockers, and 92 is Orient Express vs New Foundation. Both good matches to start the shows I'd legitimately recommend them.

I loved Tensai and everything about the act. The canned promos in Japanese, the face calligraphy, the sycophant he abused, the mist....Kind of reminded me of Sodom from Street Fighter Alpha. It was destined to die a death for at least a dozen reasons but he had a super hard hitting match with Sheamus on a random Smackdown that was pretty good.

Honestly, probably lots of random dudes from circa 2012-2015 NXT before it became a glorified indie shitter fest.

But this nigga really stands out for me. Maybe it's just cause of his theme (which is arguably one of the best WWE themes of the 2010s), but I always thought he had huge potential if used right. I forget the whole details but didn't Cena have something to do with this nigga getting buried?

Pat Tanaka was a tag team wrestler in the late 80s and 90s. He worked for WWF as the Orient Express with Akio Sato and, later, Paul Diamond under a mask. Before and after he was in tag teams with Paul Diamond for the AWA, CWA, and even early ECW. He was mostly used as an enhancement talent, but he was very good at it, and he had some great matches that are underappreciated. The enhancement guys are important to the business. Nobody gets over without them.

Same. I even liked his Marvelous Marc (boxing) gimmick early on too. It was great until the two Vinces went gaga over Sable and killed it just to give her a solo run. Marc and Sable had a great dynamic that reminded me of Macho and Liz in the early days when he was still heel and Liz was the face manager. The feud with Butterbean was solid, and I even liked the match for what it was. Pairing him with Jackie killed him. Jackie is the drizzling shits. Nothing to do with her being black. She just flat out sucks.

However I couldn't stand Marc as Johnny B. Badd in WCW. The flamer gimmick is not over with me, brother.

One of my earliest wrestling memories is seeing him do his shooting star press finisher and I marked out like a fucking bitch. I was young enough where I was still sort of half-convinced that wrestling was real, so it blew my mind.

I honestly don't remember much of anything about Jackie, other than her tits were fucking amazing. I remember Sable pulled her top off during Capital Carnage in the UK and you got a good solid look at them for at least a second if you paused the tape. I unironically still have that PPV on VHS.

I disagree. You seem to remember her accurately. She was the black diva that was always just sort of there. But she leaned really heavily into being a dirty skank, which played well at the time, but she wasn't attractive enough so it was always just a cheap, forgettable thrill.

Mark Mero is from his personality seems straight, but he’s a riled athletes wrestler so chances are he’s actually bisexual. He’s a big name locally in Orlando with doing school appearances to talk about drugs, alcohol, and mental health. He’s made a huge career out of it. Very Christian so again chances are closeted bisexual at the least.

I'm a fan of "power hoss" wrestlers and Scott Norton was an absolute unit. To this day I also think that he hands down had the best Power Bomb in the business and no one comes close to it. It's a shame it doesn't get any recognition because his execution of the Power Bomb is simply perfection. I think his involvement with the NWO hurt his career. Had he been pushed as a singles wrestler and perhaps had a venture in ECW and WWF and with a good gimmick he'd go far. He was the type of guy who could wrestle with Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle despite being a powerhouse
