Lou Thesz is known by many as the father of pro wrestling, or someting like that. He was big back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, holding the NWA World Title for over 10 years combined. He's known for creating a multitude of wrestling moves that are still used today including the Thesz Press and the Powerbomb.
The question is, how would Thesz have faired if he would've came around in modern day pro wrestling instead of over 50 years ago?
If that was the case, I don't think he'd be nearly as famous as he is today in the pro wrestling world. Thesz was best known for being an originator and wasn't exactly exciting to watch, at least by today's standards. I'm not trying to take anything away from him, lest I feel Gelgarin's wrath, but it's safe to say that Thesz came along at the perfect time period for both himself and pro wreslting.
