Who will be recalled as a great?

[Omega 354]

But will Kofi ever be considered great?

 

No and no one is saying he will be, he's only be used as an example of someone who might well be "remembered" but won't be a great. Like a Boss Man for example.

I won't remember him and actually I think he's a guy WWE could do without Edited August 26, 2013 by Ciaran The King

I I couldn't even remember if Kofi still worked there, I wouldn't notice if he never wrestled again.

I do hope that Wade Barrett might make it to a top level at some point and be remembered as one of the big names of this era.

I don't know if he qualifies but I imagine Rey Mysterio will be well remembered as well, certainly better than Big show and Christian etc.

[Guest Magic]

Yeah, Kofi could go tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Same here, I really thought at the start of the year 2013 would be Barrett's year. Hopefully he can get back in track soon and WWE see his potential

No one is going to remember Rey over the Big Show.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Rey's turned in to a little injury prone moaner

1000 times this.

He might be remembered for having a mask. His mask is very, very popular outside of wrestling, although I'm not sure how many people associate him with it.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

A mask for which he stopped wearing in WCW

[DC 536]

Which was over 12yrs ago... so let it go, Ciaran. :lol

Not sure what relevance that has to do with anything, but WWE have done a great job of completely removing it from the mainstream consciousness.

Only for fans under 20 years of age

[Guest John Hancock]

When I see Rey Mysterio, I don't instantly think of him without his mask on.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

I just see an annoying little wrestler

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Good for you.

 

Rey is a bigger star than the Big Show and I'm pretty sure will be remembered by more people.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Rey may be a bigger star now but Show will be remembered more in the future

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

No, he won't.

 

Rey is a hero to a generation of kids, along with Cena. When they grow up and think about wrestling's "good old days" when they're 40, they will think of their childhood heroes. Rey is a bigger star, has more fans (to put it that way) and will be more remembered.

 

Not to mention Rey has the entirety of Mexico to remember him as well.

 

In 20 years if you asked people to name a giant wrestler, most of them will probably say Andre the Giant. Very few will say Big Show.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Show is already respected for what he did in WCW

Honest question: What did he do in WCW that is more memorable than his work in WWF/E?

 

WCW was Rey's peak in my opinion. He had a great division of flippy dudes to match up with. It isn't Show that will be seen as better in WCW.
