The Universal Heartthrob

Image
Maybe but the greatest worker, but certainly knew how to work a crowd. So much, he continues to do so today in NWA. Austin Idol, the universal heartthrob. 

The Greatest Tag Team of All Time

Image
Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Buddy Jack Roberts: the original Fabulous Freebirds, lit up every promotion they were pushed in. Michael was in a small class of top level talkers, Buddy brought intense fight and Terry, well, Terry was a big man who could move and talk. Seen here in early 1980s with the Dean, Gordon Solie!

The Greatest Big Man Overall

Image
Arguably the greatest overall big man, even if he did work a little stiff. Stan "The Lariat" Hansen filled arenas from Texas to Georgia to Japan for decades.  And he genuinely seems like a good guy. 

Maybe an asshole, but he knew the business.

Image
Ole Anderson. Much is said about his temper and personality, but Ole knew the business and generally booked great runs whenever he was in charge. Of course to hear him tell it, he was the ONLY person who could properly book a show
