A+ Match of the Day

By Corey
Paul Roma as a Horseman usually draws a lot of snickers and snarls and I get it. Paul Roma wasn't exactly Horseman material but was the guy that bad of a worker? I mean I remember a little of his Young Stallions (not Pistols) stuff and his overall body of work as a JTTS in the late 80s, early 90s WWF wasn't bad. I mean he wasn't Ricky Steamboat but he wasn't the fucking Warlord either. He was all right wasn't he?

Anyway, I found this six-man match from 1993, Barry Windham & The Hollywood Blondes vs. Flair, Anderson and Roma...so let's see if Paul Roma can hang with these heavy hitters.

    Paul Roma gets all the jokes because HE thought he was a bigger deal than he actually was, putting himself on a level far above Flair, which is insane.

    He wasn't the worst guy in the world, but he wasn't ever anything special, either.

    Young Pistols = Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers. Paul Roma was a Young Stallion.

    Meanwhile Young Stallion...sounds like something Val Venis would have called himself in a promo.

    I don't get the Warlord hate. He wasn't Ricky Steamboat, but neither was he Uncle Elmer.

    NWA Powers of Pain matches were sweet.

    WWF Powers Of Pain were watchable.

    Yeah but with less hardcore stuff going on it became a little more evident that Barbarian was the worker of the two. I thought Bulldog vs Warlord at WrestleMania was a decent match though.

    He was fucking awful. The Barbarian was damn good, highly underrated and should have drawn a shit ton more money.

    Watching all that 1988 NWA Worldwide stuff, the Barbarian was really underrated and the Warlord was good at forearms and bearhug and training obviously.

    I agree about the Barbarian. He was really good. He should have been pushing into main event territory instead of dicking about with furry pants and antlers.

    Barbarian in 1986-era WWF draws a ton of money as Hogan's next big challenge. He was big and he was Samoan so he shit looked like it really hurt.

    His top rope Headbutt was as good as any of the smaller guys and he did it with great snap. I am a huge Barbarian fan.

    The Powerplex was awesome. Leave Roma alone.

    On a different note, that is my favourite Flair colour combination.

    Pretty Wonderful was a really solid team tbh.
