>>9025251Mike Awesome's shit looked dangerous because it was. Even Tanaka asked to stop being booked to work with Awesome after a while because he got sick of getting whipped down on his spine. Onita had plenty of dumbass marks / Yakuza debt slaves who would do whatever he asked but who the fuck else is going to?
Especially in WCW where Mike Awesome wasn't even that big of a guy. Maybe he could get away with being reckless when he had guys who are 5'8 and weighed 200lbs to throw around but lets get real. Both the dudes in Kronik were about the same size, Nash was bigger, Hall was bigger, Luger was taller, Booker T is the same size, Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell mogged him hard physique wise.. And of all those guys who the fuck do you think is going to say "okay yeah sure, do a running powerbomb out of the ring and throw me through a gimmicked table so i can slam my neck on the floor"? The whole schtick only works when you are a big monster and if your only an inch than the smallest guys you will be working with it does not make any sense that you would be raping them like Spike Dudley.
