Chemistry is the study of particles, atoms and how they bond with each other. It used to be my favorite subject where I excelled till they replaced the nice and beautiful lecturer with a big fat ugly dude who had a robotic tone putting the whole class to sleep within seconds for all his genius in chemistry. Yawn!
Well, the above has nothing to do with this thread. This thread is about two wrestling personalities that had great chemistry be as opponents or manager-managed or interviewer-star. If someone where to ask you to show examples of great chemistry between two wrestling personalities, who would you name? If you want to break it down, how about naming one for each of the category:
1. Two wrestling personalities in a direct or indirect feud.
2. Manager and the wrestler he managed.
3. Interviewer and a wrestler
4. Commentators
5. Tag partners.
Here's my take:
1. Jericho vs Stephanie McMahon
2. Heyman and Brock
3. Mean Gene and Machoman
4. Heenan and Monsoon
5. Rock and Mankind
But the perfect example of great chemistry for me would be Austin and Mr.Mcmahon
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock
2. Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso
3. The Rock and Jonathan Coachman
4. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
5. The Dudley Boyz
Bret Hart and Mr Perfect always comes to mind for me first whenever I think about this, Cena and Del Rio did also and most recently Cena and Owens also do.
Heenan and Gorilla goes without saying, Heenan had great chemistry with many talents, throw Flair in there also, Martel and Tito did be it working together or against each other, it worked, Stone Cold and The Rock is a good shout as is Mean Gene and Savage, Dusty and Sapphire seemed to work quite well, as did Savage and Sherri, Dibiase and Sherri I liked also, so many really
