I thought he got really good as Johnny B. Badd before leaving WCW, started off hot in the WWF, then injuries did him in. This sounds about right timeline wise. I think he has a legitimate argument for top 5 guy in the WWF in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Okay, guys, we've established it was a faulty premise. No need to spend the next 2 pages randomly throwing out names of WCW guys who still wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Marc Mero regarded as a worker? Cause he's been a high point in some stuff I wasnt expecting to like much Mero feels like the type of guy who worked really hard to be what would be considered a great worker during his era. That includes hitting a lot of unnecessary high spots and getting his stuff in for no apparent reason. Compared to what else was on wwf programming he stands out (in the same way al snow does). He had a hard time connecting with the wwf audience and just as he was he got hurt. To me his stuff doesn't hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 His stuff as Johnny B. Badd holds up for me. Haven't watched his WWE run in forever, and I haven't got any plans to revisit the Attitude Era any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I must confess that I haven't done a deep dive into the Mero oeuvre, but I'm a big fan of the KOTR match with Austin. Then again, 1996 Austin might be my favorite wrestler of all time. He even had a good match with Hunter Hearst Helmsley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 This also got me wondering, SS 96 was interesting to me because I've been on a SS run and was trying to find the SS matches with the most talentedworkers by average. 96 you had Mero, Rocky, Windham, and Roberts vs. Helmsley, Goldust, Lawler, and Crush. It kinda hit me Mero might be the 7th best of those 8 overall. I'm not sure if there were many 8 man Survivor Series teams with that high of an average talent, or with all of the talent at such odd points in there careers.

Because in 96 he's definitely better than broken down Jake, green Rock and the Stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Mero deserves credit for changing his style after his injury and being part of the wave of guys that successfully reinvented themselves during the Attitude Era. Maybe he mostly stayed relevant because of Sable, but he probably got the best pay days of his career during that run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's a shame that he got really entertaining right as he started to break down physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I was talking historically, though I'm starting to think Meros best years are probably better then Hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
