I've never seen a Tojo match, but his managing to keep the Evil Japanese Guy schtick going into the 90s was either talent on his part or an indictment of Memphis. Probably both.
Nikita Koloff, in terms of sheer awesome, has gotta be #1. Great look, pretty good worker, killer finish, and the dude actually LEARNED RUSSIAN to play the character.
All of the WWE's current heels, with the possible exceptions of Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman, have done anything heelish. The only reason we boo them is because the WWE tells us to boo them. But really modern day WWE heels don't do anything that merits booing like breaking rules or doing something despicable that would give the fans a reason to hate them.

ReplyDeleteNikita is #1 just for Bash 85. Watch that match and look at how angry those fans were. I bet Nikita was scared to death.
