I genuinely wonder how much more positively he'd be received if the Droz incident doesn't happen. Outside of playing the stick man to Mark during the Sexual Chocolate days, it's not like he has a whole lot cringe shit on his resume.

HTM is underrated but he is definitely not the most.
I would say Jerry Lynn. He's a legend who is pretty much never talked about.

I've been rewatching some mid-90s WCW and holy fuck, DDP is truly amazing. Everything he says and does is dripping with charisma and on top of that, his in-ring work is fantastic. He has that classic over-the-top heel selling style where he stumbles around and bumps into ringposts and stuff, but he makes it work and it's so entertaining. What a talent.

Based. Arn is great and as much as i love the hulkster, he was a real asshole no selling arn and refusing to put him over. The crowd pop to his spinebuster during that match was insane, only to be replaced by "aaaaw" when hogan no sold it and hulked out.

There were so many great talents during the Federation years that damn well deserved a run with the Winged Eagle but this was during Hulkamania and he made money.

This guy should have become the greatest black wrestler of all time and really even one of the all time greats period. He was absolute dimes flowing with tons of charisma and had a hard hitting style with great strength and speed. The pounce is one of my favorite moves ever really only outdone by the spear/jackhammer combination. Its shocking to me how short his career truly was in retrospect.

Really he should have beaten Jarrett that first time. To a degree I think there wasn't enough faith in him because at that time he was still really new to wrestling actually but its a testament to his ability that he was able to get so over so quickly. Then he became Marcus Corvon, and then he decided to retire as you put it. Huge shame it just never worked out.
