That was one hell of a team, I agree. Endless entertainment potential.
Owen gets a 5 because I never really payed any attention to him, honestly. That "Enough is enough, and it's time for a change!" shit was pretty entertaining, and I thought it was funny when he was in the Nation of Domination, but other than that I wasn't a mark for him. Sad how he died, sure, but honestly if it hadn't happened I doubt I would even remember him at all.

Sabu is a fuckin god as far as I'm concerned. A lot of the Mickey Dragon character has Sabu's "caution to the wind" to it. The complete disregard for his own well-being is something EVERYONE has to have respect for.
Sabu as a performer was someone you just HAD to watch because you know you'd always see something new. He was a car accident waiting to happen.
Taz gets a 92. Fuck anyone who isn't a mark for the Human Suplex Machine. All he needs in TNA is a lot of profanity and tables to suplex motherfuckers through.

Justin gets a 9 overall. Good gimmick, decent in-ring, a capable hand IMO. Not someone you make champion and build your company around, since I thought he was much better on the rise than he was once he get the strap. The interactions with him, Rhino, and Francine were pure gold, though. Gold!!

Dreamer... Mr "Thank you sir can I have another" is one of those guys you simply love to have in your promotion because he does everything and wants nothing.
Dude WAS ecw. Dude BLED ecw. He never wanted the ECW strap.
But... as a wrestler and a promo... eh... he left you wanting something. 7

Stevie's potential...i'll give a 7.5. He's worked in so many different positions, and done them all well, because he does have a natural charm and good ability.
Actualization of that potential, 3. Squashed, jobbed, turned into Dr Stevie.

Stevie Richards and Raven getting back together excited me until I realized that:
A) it's not ECW B) it's 10 years later C) there's no Meanie D) there's no Sandman's wife and son E) there's no crucifix F) there's no Tommy Dreamer G) this sucks
This is crazy! A 5.5 for Muta? O.o Although, I never saw his WCW work, it can't have been that bad... not without bad booking and you can't blame him for that.
BIG Owen fan! He'd be close to a 10 if not a 10 in my book. I liked him better than Bret anyway and I think he would've made World champ eventually.
I like Taz as a wrestler but other than that, he's lame. Now when I think of him, I think of his terrible commentary.
Val Venis is supposedly hugely underrated. He might be one of those that never got the right gimmick or whatever.
Stevie rules!
HEY, Hiro's back! And I don't really know Chris Hero... I've seen him wrestle but I've never been gob smacked.
Someone rate Chris Hero and give me someone I know. LOL
