10/10 - EG is one of the few that could do it all. Plus extra points for going through all the adversity in his life before hand.

i didnt like him being a dancer most of the time when he enters the ring, just gives me the feeling that he is weak, and not welling to fight toughly.

WTF?! You make Eddie sound like Alex 'Nobody's favourite wrestler' Wright for God's sake. If that's what you're rating the guy on then you clearly haven't got a clue about wrestling. Or English for that matter.

I agree with MattHardyv1 there seems to be a bit of conservative low balling to avoid controversy here. The guy was incredible and certainly had more claim to being the total package than most people. Certainly more than Taker, who seems set to keep the top spot by the grace of a loyal bunch of Goth-marks. Also, the lower marking of him for only having one title run is pretty off if you consider that the guy died just before getting his second run and that the (admittedly incredible) Curt Hennig only carried the AWA strap and still hit the 3rd spot.

Eddie's death (or the storylines after it) should have no bearing on his rating. People should be considering that he was a draw in every promotion he entered, he was sick on the mic, charismatic as hell, could have a storming match with pretty much anyone and finally reached the top (due in large part to overwhelming fan support) after picking himself out of the gutter. What's more to admire?

9.5/10

I shall be posting, for sure. Given that the only other place I talk wrestling at is one of the sports forums I mod at, and that forum is entirely inconsistent because there's not a huge following over there.
