Was this guy an attempt to attract more female fans? Did it work? Why was he never champion?
Back in that era almost everyone was over. You had to be really special to hold the big prize.
Consistent as fuck. Amazing build. Probably needed some tweaks to make him less of a charicature though.

>did it work?
Depending on who you ask, Rock and Stone Cold had younger women and middle-aged women respectively lusting after them so I wouldn't be surprised if Val got a few pussies wet legit
As for why he was put on the roster to begin with, I think Vince just wanted to see how many sex jokes he could get away with
Also he had a VERY short main event run I think
Was a top guy in CMLL

He was like Rick Rude X 100. Definitely there to entice ladies.

His theme was literally a remix of Rude's
His titantron in the first Smackdown game was based.

C lister who got a good reaction. Had to be toned down so he got in the right to censor angle.

According to Meltzer he was an anti draw and hundreds of thousands people would switch to nitro when he appeared on screen
He was the WWE's attempt at creating another Rick Rude except Rude actually had charisma and a great physique and was a good wrestler

You can't just attach Meltzer's name to your bullshit and expect people to buy it.

Who's got the chart?
>>2389292
I saw that too and have been looking for that chart. Anyone got it?
>>2388834
Yes, it definitely worked.
Did you not see when the camera panned to the women in the crowd?
They were all getting moist as fuck, every single time.
To be fair even as a straight guy you couldn't help but admire his physique.
He never got to be champion because he was just a pretty good midcarder... just pure Intercontinental material.
His flaw was he was in his prime during the attitude era. Any other era he would have been huge
He was an anti-draw like most Canadians

> Big ratings draw
> Arn Anderson

he was usually in segments with Flair who despite this board comically calling Wreck Flair was a draw
I marked hard when I saw him cut a promo in Spanish on superstars.
