Basically, someone posts a wrestlers name, the next guy then leaves a comment about that wrestler, and then that guy comments another wrestlers name and the cycle continues.
Entertaining and solid gimmick for the attitude era for what it was. Mic work was not bad, and fit well with what he was portraying. Liked how he brought back the Rick Rude dance prior to his matches, and his diffenent "Valboski" jokes every week were great. Was ok in the ring for only being in the business a few years prior to his WWE Debut.
The negative about him was I feel he was the first Intercontinental Champion that kicked off the devaluing of that title. Has never really been the same since. Prior to he, you had champs like Austin, Rock, Perfect, Savage, Bret, HBK... After him, you got the likes of Road Dogg, Godfather, Chyna, Albert... Mixed in were some decent champs (Jericho, Benoit, Angle), but never really felt the belt was as prestigious once Val Venus won it. Length of reigns also became annoyingly short.
Used be a great fat powerhouse wrestler with his own signature spots and even when everybody on the indies seemed to just want to play tribute to 90s puro, he was the best at it. One of the best wrestlers in the world from 04-06. Dunno what happened in TNA but the match with Aries is excellent.

Terrifying as a heel... In retrospect, just a fantastic character. Friendly face for kids to enjoy with his gags and tricks he played on other wrestlers.

Decent enough in the ring. One of the all-time-best in terms of psychology. Real life story is absolutely heartbreaking, but his road to redemption and current status are truly heartwarming. His HOF speech last year was the highlight of the show for me.
On a side note, can anybody tell me what happened in that gif? Looks like he got bit when he went for Damien.
I think that was when Damien got squished by Earthquake (Earthquake splash) during their feud which led to Jake bringing an even bigger snake named Lucifer if my memory holds correct.
Could of been a bigger star. He had the look of a main event guy (in my opinion) and was alright on the mic, moveset was eh (that big boot was awesome though). Problem was bad booking and after that angle with Stephanie he didn't recover. God bless his soul though.
Really should have been more in his career, especially when he won his first WHC. A shame he was completely buried in that feud with Orton, despite the high quality of the matches. I'd still love to see him go out in a retirement match against Randy with him finally going over, but Vince hates his rat face or some bullshit, so he just retired with barely a mention.
I'll just go with Christian again since Chump didn't name one.
He was better served in TNA and should have stayed there. He's a great talent, but would never be a legit main eventer in the way Edge was, despite the charisma Vince never saw. TNA was just a better fit for him and he was funner to watch there.
Great talker. For a while the top heel in WCW. Would have liked to have seen him come and give WWE another run. Great feud with Dreamer in ECW just a true legend and very unappreciated.
A true powerhouse in the ring, but never had the mic skills to evolve further beyond.
