Im not an HBK mark whatsoever, but i respect the fuck out of his work

 

[Comrade Khan]

and hes defo the one of the biggest in ring influencer of the past few decades. i dont think thats arguable

 

[Comrade Khan]

Since as you said, the amount of current workers influenced by him is astonishing

 

[Hoss]

and hes defo the one of the biggest in ring influencer of the past few decades. i dont think thats arguable

No argument whatsoever

 

[Comrade Khan]

to me, he also was like that first main stream guy of a smaller stature that proved u could be the top guy. im no historian so obviously icould be wrong. but i feel thatsa pretty big influence on the business there too

 

[Comrade Khan]

in fact you are seeing it now, arguably, with the current average size of wrestlers

 

[Comrade Khan]

on the negative side, he was part of the death of kayfabe. so thats a bummer lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

albeit with internet that would have died anyways

 

[Hoss]

There were certainly guys throughout the years before him like Backlund, Steamboat, and even Savage I've heard some people say was looked at as being on the smaller side which is absurd to think about

 

[Hoss]

I think it's fair to say he and Bret kicked the door down for the WWE having smaller figurehead though

 

[Sky]

Backlund? Has no goodwill with me tbh

 

[Sky]

He was the original Roman Reigns (staying on top constantly despite not being over as a top face at all)

 

[Hoss]

Well that's not saying much Sky

 

[Comrade Khan]

backlund never ate marijuana so hes awesome
