Factors a wrestler needs to have to be a hit, in order of importance:

>>2419081
Charisma and mic skills are above everything else

8) Catchy nicknames
9) looks

>>2419081
hogan, nash, ultimate warrior.
looks matter kid

>Gimmick
Chris Jericho managed to get a clipboard over, charisma is more important

>>2419086
Nah, otherwise The Rock would be > Stone Cold.

>>2419089
>Hogan
was bald since early years
His looks were never great besides being tall. He had the American hero gimmick

>nash
>WWF has run out of Diesel
flop, proves looks don't matter
>ultimate warrior
also flopped as champ
further proof looks don't matter
All he had was an interesting gimmick and a catchy theme music

>>2419090
R-Truth got an invisible kid over.

>>2419099
that reminds me, theme music makes a ton of difference, it did for both Hogan and Warrior, just like it did for Austin

so 1) Gimmick
2) Storytelling
3) Mic Skills
4) Charisma
5) Flashy finisher
6) Theme music
7) Trademark moves
8) In ring skills
9) Nicknames
10) Looks

>>2419090
but that's his gimmick... douchey kid that makes a list of anyone that rubs him the wrong way

>>2419089
>gotta push Barry Windham man, he has great looks. Stone Cold Steve Austin? No merch for you man, we don't see you as marketable

Looks are the least important element ever.

>charisma is more important

Agreed, anther example is La Parka. Dude got over by just doing the simplest of jigs and a chair.

>>2419099
>Hogan's look wasn't great

...................
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>>2419117
>bald at 25
>''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''great looks''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

He had charisma, mic skills, a gimmick, a theme music and storytelling ability.

Looks? Not really.

>>2419117
>balding
>awful hair
>hotdog colour
Hogan looked weird

>>2419123
>tall as fuck
>ripped as fuck
>tanned, bleach blonde and yoog in an era that fit that perfectly

>>2419127
He does by today's standards but I'm pretty sure everyone in el business would agree he had a GOAT look

Based Big Dog only has #8 and he's the greatest draw in the history of the business.

>>2419139
>greatest draw
>being cucked outta the main event of mania by oldberg

wew

>>2419134
bleach blonde looks too white
the moustache stopped being a thing at the end of the 80s

and he was still bald as fuck

as soon as he sweated a bit you could notice


if looks were anywhere important, Superstar Billy Graham would be the biggest draw ever, followed by Sid, Test and similar

>>2419081
1) Look
2) Charisma
3) Mic skills
4) In-ring skills

In that order of importance

>>2419154
Jesus Christ this isn't even 18+
This is just retarded

>>2419156
>>2419202
9+

(IQ and age)

1) Gimmick
>don't be Australian
2) Storytelling ability
>don't be Australian
3) Mic skills
>don't be Australian
4) Charisma
>don't be Australian
5) Flashy finisher
>don't be Australian
6) Trademark moves
>don't be Australian
7) In-ring skills
>don't be Australian
8) Looks
>don't be Australian

>>2419231
steaming

Look should be higher. It's why Hogan is the GOAT and why Oreowens killed the ratings.

>>2419081
According to Vince and a lot of the short, fat Vinces that inhabit the basement of /asp/, here's the order:

1. Looks
2. Merch sales
3. Potential drawing power
4. That other stuff what was it? Ability or charisma or something. Whatever.

>>2419081
1) Charisma
2) Looks
3) Storytelling Ability
4) Mic Skills
5) In-ring Skills
6) Gimmick
7) Flashy Finisher
8) Trademark Moves

That's how it is in modern WWE
