shipshirt Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 With the passing of Buddy Rose this week, I went back and watched some of his classic stuff from Portland against Roddy Piper. For a big man, he could work! Same with Adrian Adonis. Does the Cornellverse have any "doughy" big men who are actually very good workers? I would love to create a "Playboy" type character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 There really isn't too many... though Dread definetly comes to mind. Not sure how "doughy" he actually is, but Ryland seems to be biased against the more corpulent workers around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest codey Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I don't think Dread is doughy. I always pictured him as the C-Verse Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjacko Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Pistol Pete Hall springs to my mind but not sure he'd fit as a Rogers/Adonis type guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Lyrium Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Bulldozer Brandon Smith always struck me as "a bit of a Stan Hansen", and from what I've heard/seen Rose and Hansen were kinda similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, you couldn't get two more opposite ends of the spectrum as Rose and Hansen. </p><p> </p><p> Rose was a fat guy but could bump like crazy and really work. He would go by "Playboy" but it was meant ironically and drew heat because he was anything but.</p><p> </p><p> Hansen was violent, stiff and ultra bad ass. One of the few wrestlers that legit scared the crap out of me growing up. I always thought, if anyone would be Hansen-esque it would be Pistol Pete Hall. Big cowboy who got over huge in Japan.</p><p> </p><p> Yeah I notice that there's not much diversity in the "body types" of the good workers in the C-Verse. Usually, if it's someone heavy they don't ever seem to be a decent worker. Oh well. Giant Tana might not be a bad idea, he's just not that great of a worker.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
