I softened my stance on him in recent years. I hated Waltman but it had nothing to do with his wrestling work. I always thought he was talented, but there was something about his real life personality that just rubbed me the wrong way. I just alway thought he seemed like a pr!ck in real life.

It's petty, but do you know what really bothers me about him? The way it always sounds like he has a stuffed up nose. Great lightweight worker & his GWF matches against Chaz & Jerry Lynn are fantastic. But that congested nose (and that stupid Bronco Buster move) will always make me not like him. |

Oh man. Disco Inferno was my boy during the height of WCW. I was live in the crown when he (completely by accident) won the World Television Championship from Alex Wright at Nitro in Salt Lake City in September of '97, and I went totally bananas.
Some of his antics I loved:
Once he was trying to incorporate a new move into his arsenal. He brought the sheet (with diagrams) on how to perform the move with him into the ring, and consulted it while trying to execute it.
I'm pretty sure that it was Sgt. Craig Pittman that he was wrestling against in the mid-90s when he submitted the second Pittman was trying to apply the Code Red armbar. Pittman didn't even get it locked in. After the bell, Disco rolled out of the ring and said into the camera "If he would have slapped that on, I wouldn't have been able to do this!" and did the disco wave-y armed dance move.

Remember the one match where Disco Inferno won a match by hitting the guy with a disco ball?
His theme music was great.

For some reason I've always been a fan of big fat wrestlers monster heel type but the non athletic type like Bundy, Gang, Kamala. The athletic types like Bigelow, Vader I never really cared for lol. It's stupid but it's true.

Was always a bit of a fan of Ken Kennedy for whatever reason.
I think my #1 would be Road Dogg I guess. I consider a good wrestler to be good at most things, so I wouldn't call Road Dogg bad. The dude got over and could talk. His wrestling in-ring is passable enough for me to consider him well-rounded.
EDIT: Mr. Hughes! Duh!

Chavo Guerrero.
Never got his due and was treated as a mid-card novelty act for a majority of hi career. His feud in 2006 with Rey was good though

The Gambler.
One of the only NWA/WCW jobbers to have a gimmick.

Leaping Lanny Poffo. I still find it hilarious that his bad poetry led to him being The Genius. And then he beat Hulk Hogan. And he's Macho Man's brother. And those cartwheels. He's just so different from everyone else. Famous jobbers are all sort of my favorite best worst wrestlers.
