WAS MIKE MARINO OVER-RATED?

I'll start right away by saying I think MARINO was definitely Over-Rated!!

I saw him Wrestle Live many times-and for me it often depended on Who was his Opponent

as to how good the Bout was!

For me he was often Wooden and Stiff-a view seemingly endorsed by one of his frequent

Adversaries-KENDO NAGASAKI!-In an Audience at his Retreat PETER discusses MARINO

with some of his long-time Fans-The Keepers Of The Salt!-He talks of having to go and

'Collect' MARINO after a move to maintain the Flow of the Bout!

I think he was quite a good Technical Wrestler but for me never World Class!

KENT WALTON used to rave about him-Why?

He was allowed to be the long-time Holder of BRITISH/EUROPEAN/WORLD

MID-HEAVYWEIGHT Honours-Why?

He was Dubbed Wrestling's 'Golden Boy'-Why?

His Weight always seemed to be Billed as 14 Stone 13 Pounds-Why?-Just ONE Pound

UNDER being a HEAVYWEIGHT!!

When I saw him Fight NAGASAKI-My abiding Impression was always that KENDO could

have easily taken him apart!-But of course he WASN'T supposed to do that!

He didn't EXCITE me that much and Others had far more Charisma!

So come on MARINO Fans-tell me what all the FUSS was about then?
