...What push? He got ruined by Retribution (in a segment that was better than it should have been simply because, for as weak as Retribution's booking has been, Ali is just golden on the mic. And man did he cut Tucker to shreds during that whole thing). And he hasn't been seen since
As a singles wrestler Haas's best moments were imitating other wrestlers (Haas Hogan, MVC, The Great Charlie, CHL, Bret 'The Hitman' Haas, Stone Cold Steve Haastin, Charlito, GlammaHaas and John Cena)
I will never understand how Jim Neidhart didn't click as a singles guy. He had a tough look, could talk, could wrestle, the total package. I guess the it factor can't be explained.
I remember just before TNA went onto Spike and were still doing Weekly PPVs they ran Chris Harris as a Baby Face Singles Star and he was all but at the Main Event with an awesome feud with Jarrett, and looked like A HUGE star (well Huge for TNA levels at the time) with Storm being involved and pushing for Harris. Then as soon as they went onto Spike him and Storm teamed up again as Americas Most Wanted and won the tag belts again, while R Truth received another top of the card run
@@carlosjuan-miguel3294 yeah but (seriously no pun intended) a guy the size of Sid makes a great ENFORCER in any stable. Hes huge, mean, and will never take shit from anyone. So it makes sense with Sid. Wtf does Mongo bring to the table? A big tackle?! gtfoh Mongo = worst horseman. he should be washing Romas jock for him.
His best work in my opinion, he was boring otherwise. I still remember him dressed as Beth Phoenix and The Great Khali. Can't forget the JBL impersonation. 🤣
I was a fan of Billy Gunn back in the day. Was well behind his singles run. Had some good matches with Rock, Benoit to name a few. Still looks jakked today!
Charlie Haas's impersonation Gimmick was Gold. The creative names they came up with so many Creative parodies. It was never gonna lead him anywhere in his career but it was good television
@@jtp2007 it’s totally true. Most people seem to misuse the word “underrated”. Watch this: “Buff Bagwell was underrated.” See how that makes no sense. He wasn’t underrated. He simply sucked for most of his career.
@@jrsmith1998 I agree, Buff Bagwell did suck. I think it has as much to do with your opinion about a wrestler though, then whether they were truly underrated. I feel that Power and Glory were underrated and should have stayed a team longer. It does not mean the word is overused though. Who do you think is underrated?
@@jtp2007 let me think for a second. Uhmmm. Underrated, I would say Macho Man Randy Savage in the 1980’s. He was jus as big of a star as Hulk Hogan. And I think people seem to forget that. Of course he is a legend; but I don’t think he gets enough credit still. Underrated potential: the Vaudevillians Underrated: Bad News Brown
Rick Steiner should've been on the list somewhere. One legendary team, another pretty decent faction, but his most notable singles angle involved a killer doll.
Jeanetty is full of shit. There is no (not even circumstantial) evidence or even crazy coincidences that anybody can find to back that BS up. Believe me. That shit threw me for a loop too.
Marty really was an amazing wrestler he just couldn’t keep it together in a different world Shawn is the lesser half and Marty is a multi time champ 🤷🏻♂️
Billy actually could have been an upper midcard star on his own, I think. Just handsome enough, just good enough of a talker, just athletic enough. I couldn't see him as a main eventer, but as a forever IC belt contender? Yeah, definitely. Billy had the chops for that. Rocky politicking is what killed him. Plus, the Mr. Ass theme song is fucking great. It's cheesy as hell, but man if it ain't just fun
No Animal? No Repo Man? No Brian Knobbs? No Rick Steiner? No Ding? ...and Paul Roma did not deserve to be number one. sorry, no freakin way. Not without even mentioning the likes of Bart Gunn or Crash Holly. Paul Roma gets waaaaaay too much shit and is very underrated.
I understand the argument for Roma being the worst Horseman ever, but that is an incorrect answer. I believe that dubious distinction properly belongs to one Steve "Mongo" McMichael.
Chuck Palumbo was also known as the Main Event in WCW and the replacement for Lex Luger (he even came out to Luger's music, wearing gear similar to Luger's and said he trained at Luger's gym) but somehow falls short of this namesake.
@@KingPigeon891 So you're admitting that you troll UA-cam comments specifically to try and instigate a fight with AEW fans? But *they're* the problem... C'mon, man.
Even if wrestlers didn't want to be World Champions or singles Champions it could've been great and nice to see. Also with Ron Simmons at least he was World Champion although he had a different gimmick and it was before APA
Tbh Billy Gunn could've been an amazing singles star but they just never pushed him in that direction. I'm glad Charlie Haas got better reactions as a singles star in Impact
I will never forgive WWE for giving the tag team division the stigma it has. There will never be another Rock 'N Roll Express or Road Warriors as long as people think tag teams are inherently less prestigious than singles stars.
"not to downplay Stevie Ray's accomplishments" I disagree Stevie Ray was rubbish even when he was tagging with Booker. Booker T literally did all the work Stevie Ray would come in, punches, kicks and maybe a power slam. Then he'd just tag back out.
Once The Rock cut that promo on Bad Ass Billy Gunn after Billy won the King of the Ring you knew it was over before it got started for Mr. Ass LMAO. Rock acting as Billy praying to God was so fucking funny, but it buried Mr. Ass in the process. Hell, if Jericho wasn't as good as he is on the Mic he might have gotten buried himself on his 1st night in the WWE with his back and forth with The Rock. Cena buries ppl backstage with politics, like Hogan...Rock will just kill you in the ring with a promo LOL
Hahaha As a former codependent smackhead desperate for a fix, it's nice to be represented on a UK rasslin list on UA-cam. Inclus-A-Holic indeed... In all seriousness I been clean for awhile now .
I disagree about Gunn, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had all the key attributes to be a singles star (charisma, size, agility, stupidly over) but the WWE booking was all wrong, he had absolutely zero chance against The Rock who had taken off and gotten the proverbial rocket strapped to him by that point. Had he been booked correctly and feuded with anybody else that wasn’t The Rock things could have been much much different
There's a wrestling game from gamecube i (still) have whereyou can choose raw or smackdown as your brand. If you choose Raw you go into a storyline with evolution who was around at the time of the game's development. But if you choose smackdown they make up a "new ministry" stable and the plot is all the exact same. Only... the part of the story that Batista plays in the Raw storyline is replaced with ....chalrie haas *cue price is right losing horn*
Billy didn't flop harder as a singles star than Bart did, poor bastard won the god awful Brawl For All and was rewarded for almost getting murdered by Butterbean at Wrestlemania because he KO'd the established winner "Dr. Death" Steve Williams
Ok Paul Roma isnt the worst horseman. He wasn't the best, but when you're talking about a group that had Mongo McMichaels and Sid Vicious in its ranks, Roma certainly isnt the worst
Everybody talks about Paul Roma being the worst horseman when it was in fact Steve McMichael I mean seriously the guy couldn't wrestle he had no charisma and no Mic skills Paul Romo was at least a good worker and was around for a couple decades
My problem with Marty Jannetty was that he never seemed to change, he wore the same ridiculous colourful ring gear, same ugly mullet hair cut and even the cheesy early 90s ring entrance theme music. I think he was great in ring, just seemed to never evolve his character
Paul Roma was much better in a tag team than he was as a singles wrestler, and he was easily the worst and least deserving member of the Four Horsemen. The Four Horsemen were supposed to be the best of the best, and that does not describe Paul Roma.
How tf did Marty Janety didn't top the Top 10 Marty Janety List ?
Give it another year or so, and we'll see Tucker on this list. His singles push failure just hasn't had enough time to sink in yet.
But who would he bounce? Everyone else on this list had much more tag team success
...What push? He got ruined by Retribution (in a segment that was better than it should have been simply because, for as weak as Retribution's booking has been, Ali is just golden on the mic. And man did he cut Tucker to shreds during that whole thing). And he hasn't been seen since
Heavy Machinery were better together and Chad Gable was better with Jason Jordan as American Alpha
I have some news for y’all...
This aged perfectly
The exact moment Gunns singles run ended
Well Bob,
But My Names Billy..
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS
As a singles wrestler Haas's best moments were imitating other wrestlers (Haas Hogan, MVC, The Great Charlie, CHL, Bret 'The Hitman' Haas, Stone Cold Steve Haastin, Charlito, GlammaHaas and John Cena)
Imitation gimmicks - actually good
I didn't even know he did that lol
I will never understand how Jim Neidhart didn't click as a singles guy. He had a tough look, could talk, could wrestle, the total package. I guess the it factor can't be explained.
You could rename this list as "Ranking the Top 10 Marty Jannettys of all time"
Then that would mean that Paul Roma is more of a Marty Jannetty than Marty Jannetty.
@@TominoCabana
Agreed. But what about Rick Steiner??
Nah. Being a Marty means being in the shadow of ur tag partner. This is just wrestlers who failed as single acts.
@@R2ROsanchez13 Aye otherwise you'd Matt Hardy and Christian in here somewhere.

The worst Horseman ever is Steve McMichael and it's not even close.
Paul Roma was pretty bad himself.
The worst horseman was that one who killed his wife and child
THANK YOU.
This needs to be a list in itself. I thought Sid was pretty bad.

@@alzoraig "Stone Cold Steve Haastin"
Charlito
Yeah man.
It was extremely clever.
Jannety did win the IC title so I figured him somewhere around 4 or 5. Only for that reason
Agreed. The reason he's seen the way he is has more to do with The Heartbreak Kid's success than it does Marty's lack thereof.
And now Billy Gunn is back to Tag wrestling....with his own son
Dolph Ziggler?!
I always thought the chuck palumbo gimmick was a knock off and way to similar to american badass yeah wonder who idea that was!!!!

Neidhart was a good single before teaming with Bret, he just wasn't a McMahon guy
I thought Rick Steiner would be on here
Rick actually had a good run as a single. Nothing groundbreaking or main card but a good decent run.
The way WWE is breaking up tag teams you might have to keep adding to this list
Yeah could have put in the likes of Big Cass, Tucker, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Aiden English & Mojo Rawley to name a few
How is Marty not number 1 when the term the Jannetty of the team is because he did not have success as a singles star ⭐️
I dunno how Adam can use being in the Hall of fame as testament to how good someone is. Have you seen some of the names in the WWE Hall Of Fame 😭
Stevie Ray beat Bagwell?. CLEAN?
Paul Roma is the worst Horseman? Two words Steve McMichael
Never mind that shit! Here comes Mongo!!!
Hard to argue the list

He was always number 2.

Alleged second degree murder
Rename this to 10 Superstars that were not pushed properly. Thanks...
No Rick Steiner?
I'm sure someone else has already said it but did this list make Marty Jannetty the Marty Jannetty of Marty Jannetties?
Umm...how did Rick Steiner get left off of this list??
With all do respect wrestlamia did this this morning
And W3 years ago.
To be fair, Niedhart did well in UFC as Tank Abbott.
Chuck Palumbo was also known as the Main Event in WCW and the replacement for Lex Luger (he even came out to Luger's music, wearing gear similar to Luger's and said he trained at Luger's gym) but somehow falls short of this namesake.
Mr. Ass had the look but he was missing something to be a top star.
D von also pinned John Cena
Aren't these the Marty Jannetys?
Whatever that one guys name was that use to tag with The Great Marty Janetty as The Rockers!!
omg the merch is sick
Yeah I want to puke at it too
I loved chuck when he started coming out on motorbike I really wanted him to be at least ic or us champ to me he had the potential
Top spot xavier Woods. Jst my opinion deserves so much more than a trumpet
Love the Always Sunny reference.
Dudley boyz shouldnt split up
What about Rick Steiner?
I absolutely loved Jim Niedhart from the very first time I saw him when I was a kid!! He was just totally nuts, brilliant!!
Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty split up is still iconic

I’m actually surprised not to see Ted DiBiase Jr. on this list
You guys always shit on Billy gunn but yeah idk he did a lot better then some other guys.
You either leave as a Diesel or stay long enough to see yourself become a Jannetty.
How is xpac not on here
Because Xpac was always a singles wrestler. 123 Kid. The Lightning Kid. Syxx. But his injuries and drug abuses always did him in.

Because Pennsylvania is right next to Texas and everybody knows it.
Marty Jannetty and Billy Gunn are underrated wrestlers
