Is it just me or was Magnum super overrated? I thought Ronnie Garvin was a much better babyface but Magnum is remembered far more for muh potential

How tall is that masked man and was he popular or just a technical wrestler?

>>9906146
There's a couple of things one has to take into account with Magnum. Firstly, he was pushed very early into his carreer. So yes, the armdrags in this webm leave something to be desired, but he had only three years in the businness and was already main eventing the Sam Houston coliseum while getting huge reactions. He was only going to get better
Secondly, he got pushes in territories that didn't require the babyface to be a technical wizard. Mid-South was a territory build around big guys that had the Junkyard Dog as its figurehead for years, and Jim Crockett Promotions was build around heels that were great workers and babyfaces that were great personalities.
T.A was never going to be Jack Brisco or Lou Thesz in the ring, but he learned how to bounce off of heels like Wrestling II and Tully Blanchard, later on. His potential was tied more strongly to how he could've been build up and presented
>>9906159
Wrestling II was around average height, it's just that everybody in Mid-South was huge. Still, he had been a mainstay of the territory by that point and easily one of its bigger stars

The notable ones are Wrestling II and, of course, the original one, when it was Tim Woods under the mask
>What would you say are Magnums best match?
The obvious answer is his "I quit" match against Tully inside a steel cage (Starrcade '95), and i guess his best of 7 series against Nikitta Koloff, although i've only watched the final one

Best match has to be the I Quit Cage match against Tully Blanchard

A feud between Magnum and Austin would've been great. Austin would've murdered him on the mic, but still, just let them see who's the baddest man around

The worst part is that it's not that hard. Just two grown men that get mad at each other and feel the need to kick the shit out of the fool in front of them
