Worst Worker Ever?

SWEATHOG

who do you think is the worst worker ever? most careless, reckless or just plain bad.

post with some video evidence maybe for each just to keep the thread intersting if possible.

ultimate warrior gets my vote

evidence, watch him just run through ted dibiase here at 6.05 in.

(watch ted too on the next move straight after that, he drives warriors head into the mat to get him back, hebner is straight in to check on warrior, good man ted)

worst worker ever is a bit hard to answer because none of us have seen everyone, gonzales is a good shout for modern times but Max Palmer was even taller than gonzales so i would imagine even more immobile :eek: he wrestled in the 50s so we have no footage

in recent times, the matches i have seen involving silo sam he was truly horrible and he last even shorter time in wwf which tells you something

giant haystacks during his wcw run (when he weighed over 40 stone) was limited to one elbow drop per match and a few punches :P wcw hired him and had a program lined up with hogan only to ditch that idea straight away

Vince used to love exaggerating sizes, didn't he?

gonzales was really 7ft 6in tall, not like anyone could tell the difference between 7'6 and 8ft anyway, andre got away with 7ft 5 for 20 years and he was only 6ft 10

I read somewhere that they were going to do that program, only Haystacks was then diagnosed with terminal cancer.

always with the cancer, could be due to the fact he could hardly punch and he finished his opponents off by falling on them cos his legs couldn't handle anymore

I was a Haystacks mark in the 80's and loved to see him on World of Sport. In spite of his size, the guy was able to pull off some decent wrestling moves, he was very strong and knew well how to work his size and the crowds; remember that he sold out any town in the UK that he was booked in week in week out. Him and Big Daddy were so over with fans throughout the UK that literally everybody this side of the world not only knew who they were, they knew which one they wanted to win.

Back when he was ill with cancer, he was operated on to remove a tumour; surgeons removed one that was 17 stones!!! Him and Big Daddy met their maker not too long after each other; to the old school wrestling fan it was game set and match to the old days

The Cannibal

Road Dogg.

Punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, maybe a pump handle slam, 123.

He was okay on the mic but never have I been baffled by a succesful career like his. No body, no moveset, no interesting look, just punches, a pump handle and an opening mic spiel.

Eh, yeah. You might want to say how one short-lived (yet, admittedly, hilariously awful) gimmick is worthy of labeling the guy the worst worker ever over the whole of his career.

geeky

Oh my goodness... I don't think I've laughed as hard at a wrestling blooper in years...

Worst gimmick ever possibly, but I don't think it's fair to call tugboat the worst ever worker.

Big Daddy was over like nobody's business. But I've watched some of his fights with Giant Haystacks recently on youtube. People should check them out. It's basically two fat men running into each other. The crowds were lapping it up.

Certainly Big Daddy was not great in the ring at all at this stage.
