With two days left, I am going to make a fuller more detailed appeal for Yokozuna to go over here.
1. Define the prime. People who are ragging strictly on Yoko's weight and lack of mobility in the later stages of his career (i.e. his 600+ pound days and losses to the likes of Austin, Michaels, Vader) are doing the same garbage that folks do to Andre. Yokozuna's prime is 1992-1995. During that time frame, Yokozuna wrestled at 505-550 lbs. He was quick and agile for a guy that size, and there's no getting past that, despite what Doody-head JGlass says about how Yoko is a beached whale. That's erroneous on ALL counts. The man could get up off the mat just fine. Just because he was a big dude doesn't mean he was King Hippo.
2. The concept of outside interference. Just stop it. Anyone who is ragging on Yokozuna for using guys like Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji on the outside is just making excuses, and conveniently ignoring the fact that half of Eddie's WWF gimmick was "Lie, Cheat, Steal." Somehow, Eddie glamorized cheating whereas Yokozuna made people hate him. Why? Because Yoko was a better heel that Eddie was. The foreign heels almost ALWAYS cheated to win against top competition. Both men have a killer instinct and will do what it takes to win, and the bull shit that people are holding that AGAINST Yokozuna while using it as a point IN FAVOR of Eddie is hypocritical at the least.
Side note - those of you bitching that Yoko's first title win was a result of Fuji's salt in Bret's eyes? Well Eddie's first title win required Goldberg spearing Brock Lesnar and Eddie then DDT'ing Brock's head into a title belt.
3. Yokozuna as a worker. I hear a lot of talk about what a great "worker" Eddie was. Yes, he did a great job overcoming being high on Coke to put good matches together. I digress - I loved Eddie. But Yokozuna did a fantastic job in his role, but because he's not a 230-lb chain wrestler and spot monkey, he's suddenly a "shit worker" and a "slob." Ridiculous. Yokozuna put over hall of famer Hacksaw Jim Duggan - wait for it - BY MAKING DUGGAN THE FIRST MAN TO KNOCK YOKO OFF HIS FEET IN A SINGLES MATCH. Yokozuna was SO dominant that Duggan got over because he was permitted the opportunity to clothesline Yokozuna 4 times without retribution. Yoko then proceeded to decimate the man with 4 banzai drops. Duggan was the fallen hero. Yokozuna also made Lex Luger's face turn worth a damn with the Intrepid Bodyslam Challenge. Does anybody realize what an event and what a coup that was at that time? Yet when Luger screwed the pooch by blabbing about potentially going over Yoko at Summer Slam, Vince kept the belt on Yokozuna because he was a reliable, solid worker. What moveset do you want from a 550-lb sumo wrestling heel!? He did EVERYTHING he was supposed to do, PERFECTLY.
4) Quick notes... Yokozuna main evented two Wrestlemanias. Eddie main evented none. Yokozuna won the first Royal Rumble he was in, Eddie won none. Eddie won the WWE Title one time for 133 days when there were two major World Titles in the WWF. Yokozuna's 280-day WWF Title reign is the third longest in the past 20 years, behind only John Cena and Diesel, at a time when there was only one WWF World Title. Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle before losing to JBL. Yokozuna beat Bret Hart, Lex Luger, The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan before losing to Bret Hart. ALL matches from both men involved heel tactics. (editors note - such a draw was Eddie as champion that his title loss to JBL didn't even main event the PPV it was on - that honor went to The Undertaker vs The Dudley Boyz. Wow.)
Respond as you see fit, and vote for Yokozuna.
