wrestling today he'd be a star because he was a he was a lot a lot better wrestler than most of the guys that are that are being featured nowadays yeah that's true he didn't have the body but he was he was actually a better worker than most of the guys that he managed except for stevens and bock winkle yeah so so a he was a he was a he was a much better at an average wrestler he took great bumps as a heel you have to be able to feed the comeback of the baby face and fly around and get bounced around some and god knows he could he could take bumps and he could oh my god dad nobody's ever done the same kind since and he could and he he knew how much color to get and he knew what everything and how to beg and how to be a weasel and everything then he goes to become this manager we're talking about as good as there ever was and then he goes seamlessly right into the tv booth and on a high level becomes an outstanding television broadcaster in a talk environment and a live event environment and there are two different skill sets for those as well so if you look at all the all the tools in the toolbox uh henan is is as good an all-round performer as the business has ever seen in my opinion and i also believe that my former partner uh on tv for so many years the guy you know better than me lawler's got to be in that debate because lawler could he could wrestle he could talk the only thing that lawler didn't lawler just didn't he wasn't a manager very much unless he was hurt or something uh lawler's army was kind of managerial type stuff but he was a general but he's also a guy that had multiple high-level skills that could do several things for you in a territory so i i i look at i was real lucky i got to work with both those guys and people said well you had you had a great run i said i had a great run because i had great partners and uh those guys are very good so uh but henan was really the he's i'm with you he's he'd be the number one guy has anybody in a territory ever had the impact on one territory like jerry lawler had has had on memphis and even still to this day at NUMBER_TOKEN he's having wrestling matches at uh nba games yes um the answer is no nobody ever has i mean the the old the old records have fallen a long time ago i think the second time he ran for mayor he pretty much cemented it as he's as over as any wrestlers ever been in a territory uh vern in minneapolis just became you know a legend and an icon and but at the same time i don't burn ganya himself did not draw as bigger crowds in minneapolis as jerry lawler did in memphis right but uh you know dusty's run in florida was heavy but it was shorter and you know there there have been icons
