yokozuna sucks.....and i feel like a good percentage of wrestling fans would agree......he was okay from a jobber stand point.....but as a main eventer? wtf? garbage
I agree, Yoko was a great heel. An unstoppable force for over a year. Hogan's fluke Mania win did nothing to hurt him and he dominated the rest of the year up until Mania X. He maintained his momentum just fine the rest of '94, he really didn't slow down until after Survivor Series '94. Still, after that I think he and Owen Hart made a great team and had some good matches. Overall, his great run only lasted about 3 years, but it was a great run and I think he is very underrated. Plus, a great worker for a man his size.
Yoko is someone I didn't fully appreciate until he was gone. Looking back on some great matches he had he was such a great monster heel. I'm 32 so I remember him well. I couldn't stand him after the 93 Rumble because he won by eliminating my favorite at the end and then got into Bret's face. I was however pumped when he beat Hogan at King of the Ring though in 93 to win the title because I can't stand Hogan (respect what he has done for the business but I digress) and it was cool to see a heel champ. Yoko had a very underrated feud with Taker and was part of a fun tag team with Owen. Just a great run for Yoko and I'm sure if I was older and not 12-13 when he was in his prime he would be higher on my all time faves list. But still he is one of the best heels ever I think. Probably top 10.
PS...thank goodness they didnt put the title on Lex in 93. I might be one of the few but I have never been a Luger fan.
lex luger blows yoko blows.....a lot of the "stars" from the 93-96 crappy wrestling era suck......and i'm 26 which would put me at ages like 7-10....i didn't watch wrestling during that time because it sucked 100 dicks if we are being honest lol.....don't mean to offend anyone who is a fan of that era sorryyyyy
I am not. Yokozuna could wrestle rings around the both of them, and that's my opinion and here's why I'm right and anyone with a different opinion is wrong.
1) - IVE NEVER SEEN RIC FLAIR WRESTLE, therefore, I can comment without knowledge on his wrestling ability why he isn't a good wrestler.
2) - BRYAN DANIELSON ISN'T STONE COLD, therefore, he's not a good wrestler.
3) - ARMBAR!
4) - YOKOZUNA DREW MORE FANS THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE IN JAPAN, he had a really big Sketchbook.
Yosihait, I've looked at your responses and you've basically didn't read anything I've said because your responses aren't even about what I said so I'm just going to stop debating you cause it seems pointless.
The word "opinion" is foreign to some people. I swear, even if you include "this is only my opinion" in your post on a debatable topic, someone will still say that you're wrong. Stupidity as it's finest.
Someone born in 1993 can't possibly have an informed opinion on stuff that happened from 1993-1996. You can't youtube and Wikipedia context and history.
It's a big problem with that generation.....they all think they've gotta have an opinion on EVERYTHING that ever happened in the history of mankind, rather than just knowing their role and sticking to what they're actually informed enough to have an opinion on.
I love the Yokozuna WWF debut jobber squash match. Not even because of Yoko, honestly. Jobber Bill Jordan is hilarious. Watch how he sells the leg drop! I was falling out.
A lot of those old school jobbers don't get the credit they deserve for the beatings they took.
