I was the kid who was rooting for Mr Perfect and the Genius to get one over on Hogan for example. Austin was just a perfect type of jackass that rubbed me the wrong way. I hated him even when he was the Ringmaster which wasn't even close to full potential, but something about the way he carried himself and showed that certain type of disdain for his opponents just made me mad. Mad enough that I found myself pulling for a washed up Jake Roberts of all guys to shut him up, and I never really even liked Jake much-- he's a guy I really didn't like until way after he'd retired and I rewatched some old stuff and absorbed what a great promo he was It speaks to how effective he was, but also partially speaks to what a Bret fanboy I was since even when Bret/HBK was presented as face/face I still hated HBK. And The Patriot of all guys was my least favorite wrestler for a while in 1997. But I still liked the Bret/Austin match in the moment, and honestly the feud in the moment too because it got me into it even if I thought Bret was right the whole time and was upset when the audience turned on him, but it's one of those things I had to rewatch through to really fully appreciate Austin's contribution to how great that feud was. Anyway yeah Austin is very good. Possibly my favorite guy of your top 10 so a shame to see him drop so "early" but what can ya do. Can't be upset with 10th place. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! <cite>Lopen posted [p:905643460] in Scarlet Ra... [t:76598098]...</cite> <quote>Oh, yeah, for sure.
