Curt McGirt Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yeah, I really dug his run with Santino but I can see Ryback and Santino doing the same thing only not being as awesome. Was Kozlov and Masters ever a team? Because that sounds like a great pair of workrate ass-stompers, at least if you put them together at the end of their runs.

Sublime Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Oh man, WWE needs to bring in Masters and Kozlov to feud with the Shield. Masters working FIP until the hot tag to Kozlov for the ramming and suplexing to begin would be sweet. I can only imagine the ways Rollins would bump for Kozlov and they could push Kozlov as a guy being able to match Reigns size it could be glorious.

FluffSnackwell Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'd argue Kozlov's clean televised win over Undertaker and (as anticlimactic it was) mere involvement in a match for the right to challenge the streak makes his push just as legit as Ryback's. Honestly, Ryback's whole current arc seems like some kind of massive rib on Goldberg. Even Ryback's wins over Bryan came after his "undefeated streak" and only served to make Bryan more of a star than him; and also more or less began the theme of Ryback as an impotent frustrated bully.

LooseCannon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Most of this thread has been about guys who made it to at least the mid-card, but which 1980s "enhancement" talent would be at least a mid-carder somewhere because they would fit in better today? Barry Horowitz? SD Jones? Iron Mike Sharpe? Paul Roma seems like a shoo-in for a two-time TNA champion if he could get a brief WWE mid-card push first.

Victator Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Mike Jackson would have a mid card spot in WWE today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovietShooter Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Oh man, there is a bunch of dudes, even dudes I know personally, who woulda tore shit up in the territories.. Today really is a unique situation. (Uniquely unfair and shitty.)This is one concept that just gets overlooked to no end. Imagine how different wrestling would be if there were 10-20 territories. So many more guys making money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I thought Koslov and Sylvester Terkay could have been a lot bigger than they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeball Wizard Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I feel like Elijah Burke would've been a good fit for the attitude era. Still kinda baffled he didn't have a more successful run in WWE or even TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still kinda baffled he didn't have a more successful run in WWE or even TNA. He was excellent as the Pope. Then... well, TNA did what they normally do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many more guys making money.... 100% agreed. And that's not even factoring in how much more improved and well-rounded folks could be by having the opportunity to work different styles in front of decently-sized audiences.
