Are there any bright spots to this guy's career? Any good matches or angles? Or did he just make a name for himself carrying Hogan's bags for decades?

they tried to do a retarded masked gimmick where he looked stupid as fuck with him in 1991 that went absolutely nowhere

he was in the best match on Mania 2 teaming with Greg Valentine losing the tag titles to the British Bulldogs. It main evented the arena it was in too (WM2 was in 3 arenas for those who may not know). That's probably as good as you'll get desu.

Undeniably over in the 80s. I actually respect him for being able to come back after getting his face shattered because the description of the whole thing is just fucking brutal. But as far as in ring he was awful.

He was a secondary star during the biggest era of wrestling. You gotta give him credit for that. He had a good look, a good gimmick and charisma. He wasn't a bad promo either.

he was one half of the tag team champions, the dream team, with greg valentine when the belts meant something. people seem to forget that. he was hella over during his entire wwf run until his facial injury

i have no idea what they were doing with him after his injury. his face looked the same. why have him wear this ridiculous outfits and masks to do a run in

The Barber wasn't a totally forgettable character, he was the closest to winning the IC title from Honky at WM4 and got screwed over by the DQ rule and I think he was the first to call Sensational Sherri SCARY SHERRI

yeah people seem to think his entire run in the wwf was because of hogan or he was seen as a joke back then or something when the reality is he never interacted with hogan and was really popular in his own right. he seemed to be about to become intercontinental champ but got injured right before that was to happen and the injury really ended his career
