The pic is too big to post but click the link if you need a memory jog (from hell).

I just remember him as dull. I might have missed his heyday, if he had one.

I just remember that the bugspray can thing he's holding was filled with a perfume called "Arrogance" and he sprayed it in Jake "The Snake" Roberts' eyes and "blinded" him. Then they had a blindfold match at Wrestlemania VII that was pretty funny to watch.

Classic. His AWA work is painfully boring, but AWA focused on matwork, so its not surprising. As a heel, he was great. He constantly worked heelish tactics and character the *whole* match, something almost all heels forget to do today. Can't knock the dude.

Put on some good matches with Booker T over the WCW US title in, what, 98? I always put him alongside Paul Orndorff in that kind of "decent midline heel who was probably quite something in his day" category.
