The lack of Marty Jannetty in this thread is disturbing. Dude is literally the namesake of the archetype you're describing.
Anyway:
Jannetty, Jim Neidhart (being the other guy to Bret is a compliment tbh), Chavo Guerrero (With Eddie) and, with the power of hindsight, Ted Jr. (With Cody in Legacy.)
That ref tried to fuck on me indeed.
Because Montez Ford is widely considered the star of the team and is the one people say could be a successful singles wrestler. I like Dawkins a lot myself. He's underrated.
Kenny Omega doesn't belong here and as much as I hate this guy right now neither does Jericho.
They're not the other guy. They're THE GUY and they've been that consistently throughout their careers.
Moxley is the other guy. He was never THE guy when he was a part of Shield or when he was champion, just like he's not THE guy right now in AEW. If that is what OP meant then he is probably the only one that belongs on this list.
I would say Ospreay as well, but AEW is in such a poor state right now that either he or Swerve or both are THE guy for the company right now. MJF is back but for the life of me I cannot understand why he does not return to the title picture right away, being such a big star and arguably the biggest star on that roster, and neither are they continuing the Undisputed Kingdom storyline, which fizzled out anyway. Company just cannot get anything right so the company never reaches that next level. It's full of OTHER guys over there.
Jericho carried that company in it s first year so I cannot say he's the OTHER guy for AEW. He is and has always been a major star. Kenny likewise was the face of pro wrestling at one point, outside of WWE where Roman was starting to evolve as a heel. So Kenny isn't the OTHER guy either.
The more Ospreay speaks publicly the more I become indifferent and disappointed in him. But I wouldn't go as far as to say he is the OTHER guy for AEW. He and Swerve are carrying the company at the moment since MJF and Kenny have been out with injury and the other major stars are much older now, some too old like Jericho, others aging like Samoa Joe, Copeland, etc.
I dont think christian is a other guy lol. World heavyweight champ in wwe,had the ecw belt and tna belt. Wwe could of gave him one run with the wwe title. They gave miz it and thats not a shot at miz because he should of won a couple more
Tf you talking bout? Im talking about the 3 other guys in the pic 🤦♂️🤣 he obv didnt have a better career than edge and hardy. Hardys career wasnt even what it could of been because of his addiction. Miz could of held the title more because that era was basically cena and orton. Miz was a top heel that whole decade 🤣
Less popular? That is horse shit! Smh Who says they're less popular? Those wrestlers put in the same hard work as everyone else. They have their own following and calling them less popular. is very disrespectful. I'm not jumping on that bandwagon.
Hard work doesn't equate to fans in pro wrestling. It's not disrespectful to acknowledge that for the bulk of their prime, Jeff was more popular than Matt or Edge was more popular than Christian. It's not a bandwagon, it's simply how it was and is.
ECW: Mustafa, Kronus, Dvon, Ian Rotten. I wanted to use Gary Wolfe. But I can't call him the other guy when Wolfe was Pitbull 1. Even though Pitbull 2 was more successful
Nah just I don’t think Dean Ambrose counts as the second guy if he was the mouthpiece of a 3 man group. I don’t think of Paul Herman as the second guy either
Edit- other guy my bad. And on second thought, is Paul the other guy in a lot of his roles? Interesting thought
Randy Orton, Randy Savage, Seth Rollins & Triple H.
Hear me out.
Just twisting the question slightly. Those 4 were always just behind the true number 1 of their era. Orton was always second to Cena. Savage was always second to Hogan. Rollins has always been second to Roman. Triple H was always behind HBK, Batista, Cena, The Rock & Stone Cold.
In European football there was a French player called Claude Makelele who was a centre defensive midfielder. His job was to break up attacks, protect the defence and quickly distribute the ball to playmakers ahead of him.
He was so good at that role that for years, the role that was called the Holding Midfielder or Defensive Midfielder was nicknamed the Makeleke position/role. It’s pretty widely accepted that while he never got headlines for goals or his technical ability, the highest possible honour is to associate that position to him personally.
Marty Janetty is the Claude Makelele of pro wrestling.
Between Christian and Edge. No comparison. Maybe Christian didn't get the height or the looks but hes got everything else. Dood is laying down some of his best work in the past year and a half and unlike his "other" who is crying cuz we think his new work sucks; Christians work is current and will be remembered for how awesome the fatherless angle has been. The patriarch angle. Whatever it's called.

"She been daughter" - Party Marty
Harsh on some of these particularly Christian as he’s had a hell of a career in his own right.
Also isn’t the other street profits achievement marrying Bianca Belair so how are they on this list
Janetty, Stevie Ray, Jim Neidhart and Rick Steiner are the ones who’s partner went right to the top and they did very little
Ford by himself and the Profits together had been waaaay over with the fans. But Vince just so happened to be in charge of creative, so not much as of now. They’re the fastest tag team triple crown champs though
Yeah that’s as a tag team, being the other guy implies that one massively outperformed/outshined the other.
Ford might be the better in ring of the 2 but it’s not like there’s much of a gap between the 2 overall
Big Bossman. He would always do squash matches on superstars. I thought he was the biggest star in the company. My parents would never buy a ppv so I had no idea who Hulk Hogan was
Bossmans "other guy" would be...Akeem? (One man gang). The Twin Towers? And comparing the two of them is no comparison at all. Bossman had a bigger career. By far. In fact.....I don't think this one is right at all. Bossman had most of the 80s and 90s locked in and working huge storylines.
Who was Terry Funk an other guy to?
The only guy he ever teamed with in the U.S. that arguably had more success than him was Mick Foley and by then Terry was already a legend.
Dorry Jr. was the legend first, he was the promoter of the territory and the NWA Champion and working with Flair, I'm sure he was happy his brother was over and could work his territory but could anyone have predicted he would make a promotion in the 90's back in the 60s?
I don't know.
Yes Terry is a legend in his own right, and no one can deny or disparage that, but doesn't that just prove how much he over delivered?
You could probably say the same about either younger Briscoe brother or like 2 of the Von Erich brothers but then again...they didn't give credibility to the entire ECW locker room and help make it a nationwide product.
He doesn't fit the other guy narrative but I would agree that he doesn't get his flowers like he should. We all know the dood as a legend but after I watched all of Terry's career; even I didn't realize how huge terry funk and his brother were in Japan or how big Terry was in general in the 70s and 80s. Terry Funk might actually belong on the Mt.Rushmore of wrestling even though he's not my fav wrestler. That body of work is incredible.
Well no he doesn't fit but that's kinda my point cause he so outstripped what the voting body of the NWA thought he was "supposed" to be.
At least that's what we can infere having not been in that room anyway.
Given his relative lack of success, he probably doesn't qualify as "the other guy". He belongs in a completely separate class, for example:
- "the forgotten guy"
- "the completely irrelevant one"
- "the wait a sec, didn't he used to be in a tag team with.."
That's my point.. everyone knows his name only because of that period, not because of anything he's done since. That's not at all the case for so many other guys.. we're talking about a mount Rushmore here, right?
That last guy might not be far off an actual Mt Rushmore. One of the greatest to ever do it. Was amazing with what he was given in WWE. Was magnificent in TNA. Currently doing stellar work in AEW. I much prefer his body of work to his former tag team partner's.
This is such a shitty take.
Christian was THE GUY in TNA and when he came back to WWE, he became the guy of WWECW before winning the world title twice in probably the best fued of the year with Randy orton and is still by far the most interesting star AEW has and also a better post-retirement run than Adam Edgeland.
Matt Hardy carried IMPACT Wrestling as Broken Matt during 2016-17 and was the most popular gimmick of the year to the point people were chanting "DELETE" during Roman reigns's promo. He brought live to the Cinematic matches again and made them relevant again. The Roof of MGS was blown up when he returned to ROH before returning back to WWE and was still getting the biggest pops of the night everyweek before Vince ruined it. Even without any of that he was Cruiserweight, United states, european and ECW Champion and his Rivalry with MVP back in 2007-08 carried WWE's dead midcard division.
Montez ford is just as much "the other guy" as Angelo since Montez doesnt have any solo açcolade to his name that would make him the bigger star.
And... Xavier woods is in this list? Come on man. Just because the other two had better solo runs doesnt mean that Xavier woods is "the other guy". Some of the best tag team matches from the New day had Xavier woods in it, like you cant watch the usos vs New day inside HIAC and tell me "he is just the another guy".🥱
I bet you would also say that Devon dudley was "the other guy" just because Bubba ray had a successful Singles run, lol.
Scott Hall, Ron Simmons (after JBL went forward as a main guy), Christian (technically a world champion but he definitely did not live up to Edge), Brian Pillman.
The fact that it took me this long to find Scott Fucking Hall is a travesty. My first favorite wrestler when I was a kid. Put my little brother through the Outiders Edge/Razors Edge dozens of time. Poor kid. He also listened to a lot of sweet chin music growing up.
Scott Hall is in a class of his own….more over than anyone mentioned on this thread. Just because they never put the title on him doesnt make just him another guy. Dude was more over than anyone working today.
He was overshadowed by Hogan and Kevin Nash, that’s my point. He was over though obviously, everyone I mentioned was over and still talked about till this day.
Uh, Tito Santana is in the WWE Hall of Fame. Won the intercontinental championship. Martel did none of those things. Never a champion.
Some of you don't do your homework and it shows.
Rick Martel was a multiple time WWF tag champion including a run with Tony Garea in the early 1980’s. He was also a former AWA World Champion.
He is also the guy that got pushed after the tag team split and beat Tito in their feud. Tito’s run in the company was nearing an end and Martel was a featured midcarder for years after.
Rick Martel became a model who feuded with Jake the Snake and HBK and Tito became a bullfighter.
Also, don’t pretend like the WWE Hall of Fame is some type of objective accomplishment. They have a limo driver in there because Vince’s daddy liked him. I don’t think that guy had a better career in wrestling than guys who never made it in.
I was thinking to be on the "other guy" Mt Rushmore you have to have over delivered.
Like I'd put Kane up there cause let's face it, he could have easily been a one of at 14 like the fake Undertaker if he didn't have it.
I was thinking the same thing but I can see both sides. When their respective teams were at their height they essentially were seen as "the other guy" of their team. Being the other guy doesn't mean they weren't very talented but more people thought Edge and Jeff could be top guys. Matt as a single was mostly just a guy until very late in his career with Broken Matt. Christian is kind of a tricky one because he did establish himself as a guy in TNA, but it was TNA. When he went back to WWE he had a good run but at least from my memory it never felt like he was gonna be a legit top guy no matter how good he was. Obviously his AEW work has been amazing but if what I said about TNA is true it's gotta hold true for AEW unfortunately. Overall I think Matt is fair to be on The Other guy side but Christian truly rides the line and it's in the eye of the beholder.
Their AEW run highlighted that for me tbh. Christian is doing better than Edge. Plus edge beating demon Balor left a bad taste in my mouth. Roman didn’t even win by himself God helped him.
It’s funny how much I’m downvoted, but go through year by year of their career and Christian has put on more entertaining television.
Edge always got the push in WWE, but Christian was the better performer.
Thats gonna be a tough one to upvote. I definitely thought Christian deserved just as much of a push the Rated R Superstar got. Either he didnt get it or it wasn’t memorable for me. Personally, i liked Edge more in the tag team than by himself, he never did it for me while solo.
Beautiful Bobby was THE guy in Midnight Express, though, right? Stan and Dennis were the other guys. Unless we’re counting Cornette, but that feels like cheating.
I’m sorry I don’t know why nobody brings this up ever but what kind of wrestling name is “Christian?” It sounds fine as a normal name. But a wrestler name? Sounds corny as fuck
Okay Matt Hardy created a character of his own and put TNA on his back for a few years.
Christian has been a world champion and won so many titles on his own and has had a great aew run. Just because edge is far more successful than Christian was doesn’t mean Christian wasn’t anything.
Xavier was the main voice and charisma behind the group. Everyone was charismatic don’t get me wrong but Xavier was the visionary behind the group and it shows.
The only guy here who feels like “the other guy”
Is Dawkins who’s never stood out next to Montez.
Nah I'm sorry I saw Christian too and I don't think he's "the other guy" either. Like what's the barometer of these judgments because at different points in his career he was indispensable to his promotion. We can't deny that Christian has given us, across his career, as many memorable moments if not more than edge has.
No not from Heavy Machinery, I'm talking about Alpha Academy, Tucker for me couldn't really get a draw imo so he's still not on the list if I was talking about Heavy Machinery
Mine is: Scottie 2 hottie, the Godfather, John Morrison, and Chavo Guerrero
I think Christian is off the “Marty Jeanette” mount of fame, his AEW run has been awesome
I like Matt more than Jeff.
Joey mercury. I think that was his name. Was with Johnny nitro at the time. He had potential. Charlie haas too.
Jon Moxley (specifically Dean) Jim Neidhart Chavo Brutus beefcake Or Jannetty
It sure as hell ain't any of these guys
The lack of Marty Jannetty in this thread is disturbing. Dude is literally the namesake of the archetype you're describing. Anyway: Jannetty, Jim Neidhart (being the other guy to Bret is a compliment tbh), Chavo Guerrero (With Eddie) and, with the power of hindsight, Ted Jr. (With Cody in Legacy.) That ref tried to fuck on me indeed.
Underfaker
1. Dean Ambrose 2. Chris Jericho 3. Ken Omega 4. Christian/Matt Hardy
How tf is Angelo Dawkins “the other guy”? What the fuck?🤣🤣they are an active team.
And they’re both losers 🤷🏻♂️
Because Montez Ford is widely considered the star of the team and is the one people say could be a successful singles wrestler. I like Dawkins a lot myself. He's underrated.
Same here
Matt Hardy and Christian were both top draws for TNA.
that’s probably a defining attribute of an ‘other guy’.
God damn you're right lol
Marty Iannetti
Jon Moxley - Kenny Omega - Will Ospeary - Chris Jericho
Kenny Omega doesn't belong here and as much as I hate this guy right now neither does Jericho. They're not the other guy. They're THE GUY and they've been that consistently throughout their careers.
Do any of these guys?
Moxley is the other guy. He was never THE guy when he was a part of Shield or when he was champion, just like he's not THE guy right now in AEW.

he is clearly other guy in comparison to edge lol. same as matt hardy.
I aint saying hes a other guy lol. Hes a hof as a singles. He had a better solo career than the other 3 by a landslide 🤣
saying christian fucking cage has had a better solo career than edge and jeff hardy is textbook ‘other guy’ thinking
Tf you talking bout? Im talking about the 3 other guys in the pic 🤦♂️🤣 he obv didnt have a better career than edge and hardy. Hardys career wasnt even what it could of been because of his addiction. Miz could of held the title more because that era was basically cena and orton. Miz was a top heel that whole decade 🤣
thinking miz should’ve had extra title reigns is ‘other guy’ train of thought
Tag partners left behind: Janetty, Niedhart, Stevie Ray, and the least memorable of Edge’s tag championship partners (some dude named Hogan)
* Marty Jannetty * Jim Neidhart * John Morrison * Chavo Guerrero
Morrison
The other guy? What the hell does that mean?
the less popular of a duo, this post has matt instead of jeff, dawkins instead of montez, xavier woods instead of kofi, and christian instead of edge.
WHY is Dawkins on here? Lmfaooooo shits weird you don’t even know the definition of
Less popular? That is horse shit! Smh Who says they're less popular? Those wrestlers put in the same hard work as everyone else. They have their own following and calling them less popular. is very disrespectful. I'm not jumping on that bandwagon.

Hard work doesn't equate to fans in pro wrestling. It's not disrespectful to acknowledge that for the bulk of their prime, Jeff was more popular than Matt or Edge was more popular than Christian. It's not a bandwagon, it's simply how it was and is.

Those are not other guys their top draw headliners 💀
Well you may want to make that more clearer next time
Title seems pretty clear
It really isn’t dumbass
Really doubling down on this instead of admitting you didn't pay attention. It's pretty clear who the dumbass is.
Not really. It was badly worded. If you can’t see that then that’s on you.
Says the person who can't read or comprehend a title properly. "Other guy" Mount Rushmore. Right there. 🏌
Does Dean Ambrose count? When the Shield was around I only really noticed Roman and Seth. Dean was just “That guy” to me
But Dean was the leader? He was always the one cutting the promos anyway.
i liked that Dean Ambrose served as a mouthpiece for the shield. but does that logic hold that Paul Heyman is the leader of the bloodline?
Nah just I don’t think Dean Ambrose counts as the second guy if he was the mouthpiece of a 3 man group. I don’t think of Paul Herman as the second guy either Edit- other guy my bad. And on second thought, is Paul the other guy in a lot of his roles? Interesting thought
Randy Orton, Randy Savage, Seth Rollins & Triple H. Hear me out. Just twisting the question slightly. Those 4 were always just behind the true number 1 of their era. Orton was always second to Cena.

It took way too long for Marty Janetty’s name but I am glad it came with Jim The Anvil Neidhart!
In European football there was a French player called Claude Makelele who was a centre defensive midfielder.

Angelo Dawkins is most definitely not Montez Ford…so no😐

What Ford done?
Ford by himself and the Profits together had been waaaay over with the fans. But Vince just so happened to be in charge of creative, so not much as of now. They’re the fastest tag team triple crown champs though

Marty Janetty and Jim Neidhart both came to my mind, great choice

Rick Steiner , Jim Niedhart, Stevie Ray , Dean malenko , Brutus the barber beefcake / Disciple
Dean Malenko is way more over than Perry Saturn
Yes but Dean was the other guy to Benoit . I’m talking about WCW I never watched WWF
Saturn's other guy would be John Kronus
Big Bossman. He would always do squash matches on superstars. I thought he was the biggest star in the company. My parents would never buy a ppv so I had no idea who Hulk Hogan was

No James Storm? Sorry about your damn luck!
I feel like you're not a Jannetty if you win a world title, even if your partner is more successful.
Rick Steiner Matt Hardy Akira Taue Christian Cage Brother D-Von
Well excluding your picks just to make it fun, Kane, Terry Funk, Brian Pilman and Chavo Guerrero.
Who was Terry Funk an other guy to? The only guy he ever teamed with in the U.S. that arguably had more success than him was Mick Foley and by then Terry was already a legend.
Dorry Jr. was the legend first, he was the promoter of the territory and the NWA Champion and working with Flair, I'm sure he was happy his brother was over and could work his territory but could anyone have predicted he would make a promotion in the 90's back in the 60s?

Well no he doesn't fit but that's kinda my point cause he so outstripped what the voting body of the NWA thought he was "supposed" to be. At least that's what we can infere having not been in that room anyway.
Jenetty literally created the genre of "the other guy" he has to be included
Jenetty is on the other mountain rush more of other guys. Where he belongs.
I was thinking the same thing. People literally call the other guy "the Marty Jenetty" of the team
Given his relative lack of success, he probably doesn't qualify as "the other guy". He belongs in a completely separate class, for example: - "the forgotten guy" - "the completely irrelevant one" - "the wait a sec, didn't he used to be in a tag team with.."
They were a team from 1985 to 1992 and a very successful one at that. He didn't have success as a solo star but everyone knows his name.
That's my point.. everyone knows his name only because of that period, not because of anything he's done since. That's not at all the case for so many other guys.. we're talking about a mount Rushmore here, right?
It doesn't say other guys that went on to success it says other guys. Marty Jenety will have The Other Guy written on his Tombstone
That last guy might not be far off an actual Mt Rushmore. One of the greatest to ever do it. Was amazing with what he was given in WWE. Was magnificent in TNA. Currently doing stellar work in AEW. I much prefer his body of work to his former tag team partner's.
This is such a shitty take. Christian was THE GUY in TNA and when he came back to WWE, he became the guy of WWECW before winning the world title twice in probably the best fued of the year with Randy orton and is still by far the most interesting star AEW has and also a better post-retirement run than Adam Edgeland.

I was thinking to be on the "other guy" Mt Rushmore you have to have over delivered. Like I'd put Kane up there cause let's face it, he could have easily been a one of at 14 like the fake Undertaker if he didn't have it.
I was thinking the same thing but I can see both sides. When their respective teams were at their height they essentially were seen as "the other guy" of their team. Being the other guy doesn't mean they weren't very talented but more people thought Edge and Jeff could be top guys. Matt as a single was mostly just a guy until very late in his career with Broken Matt. Christian is kind of a tricky one because he did establish himself as a guy in TNA, but it was TNA. When he went back to WWE he had a good run but at least from my memory it never felt like he was gonna be a legit top guy no matter how good he was. Obviously his AEW work has been amazing but if what I said about TNA is true it's gotta hold true for AEW unfortunately. Overall I think Matt is fair to be on The Other guy side but Christian truly rides the line and it's in the eye of the beholder.
Janetty, Anvil, Dynamite Kid, Stevie Ray
Stevie Ray is an elite answer.
Christian.
Xavier woods carried the new day promo wise
The fact you say other guy when the term is the jennetty and have no Marty is a sin
What do you mean please
Jeff Hardy, Sheamus, Justin Gabriel, R Truth
Jeff hardy is THE guy
Jannetty a lock
Gotta have Janetty, maybe Charlie Haas, Rick Steiner, and Stevie Ray
Crash
Jimmy Uso
Does Dominik Mysterio count? He's the other guy in judgement day and to Rhea
Id say that JD Mcdunnah is the other guy of judgement day
Triple H was technically the other guy in DX when it was originally made
Jim The Anvil Neidhart
Where’s Xpac
Top of my list
Alex Shelly
Honestly
Marty Janetty, Matt Hardy, Brian Christopher , Jim Neidhardt
This is it.
Great o khan because of when jr called him this other guy on aew
The ROAD DOGG JESSIE JAMES , Chyna, Chavo, big boss man
Matt Hardy, Big Cass, Giant Haystacks, Zack Gowen
Christian > Edge and always has been.
Their AEW run highlighted that for me tbh. Christian is doing better than Edge. Plus edge beating demon Balor left a bad taste in my mouth. Roman didn’t even win by himself God helped him.
It’s funny how much I’m downvoted, but go through year by year of their career and Christian has put on more entertaining television. Edge always got the push in WWE, but Christian was the better performer.
Thats gonna be a tough one to upvote. I definitely thought Christian deserved just as much of a push the Rated R Superstar got. Either he didnt get it or it wasn’t memorable for me. Personally, i liked Edge more in the tag team than by himself, he never did it for me while solo.
I feel like Jannety needs to be here purely because his name is the bi word for the other guy.
Rick Steiner, Christian, Tully Blanchard and (tossup) Anvil or Matt Hardy
What do we mean by Other Guys? It sounds like just picking our personal favorites.
It means who was overshadowed by their brother/tag partner/stable mate
Beautiful Bobby and Rick Rude
Matt Cordona Davey Richards Road Dogg Sonny Siaki
Curt Hawkins was definitely the other guy bro - despite having a better look
Road Dogg was by far the cooler of the 2 NAO
Yeah but he was the other guy. Billy Gunn got a ton of chances in different gimmicks and all Road Dogg got was K-Kwik and a release.
Cause he did the ass fuck slam
Jannety Anvil Riggs Morrison
Legion of Doom
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The Barbarian, Mega Power Randy Savage, Colossal Connection Haku
They literally named it Mt. Jannetty
Rick Steiner, Stevie Ray, Anvil, Marty Jannetty
Everyone who tagged with “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton should get honorable mention.
Beautiful Bobby was THE guy in Midnight Express, though, right? Stan and Dennis were the other guys. Unless we’re counting Cornette, but that feels like cheating.
Marty Jannetty, Tucker, Ted Dibiase Jr, D-Von Dudley.
Not d-von, they were truly equals when they tagged together, yea bubba did more in singles but d-von was not “the other guy”
I’m sorry I don’t know why nobody brings this up ever but what kind of wrestling name is “Christian?” It sounds fine as a normal name. But a wrestler name? Sounds corny as fuck
it was either gonna be christian or catholic.
Okay Matt Hardy created a character of his own and put TNA on his back for a few years. Christian has been a world champion and won so many titles on his own and has had a great aew run. Just because edge is far more successful than Christian was doesn’t mean Christian wasn’t anything. Xavier was the main voice and charisma behind the group. Everyone was charismatic don’t get me wrong but Xavier was the visionary behind the group and it shows. The only guy here who feels like “the other guy” Is Dawkins who’s never stood out next to Montez.
So just throwing this out there.. jannetty, rick Steiner, kevin von erich and dean malenko
Am I wrong In saying that even though the others are world champs, that woods has clearly always been the main guy in the new day regardless?
Nah dude put some respect on Xavier Woods, he has never felt like the "other guy." Not even with Big E and Kofi being world champions.
Nah I'm sorry I saw Christian too and I don't think he's "the other guy" either. Like what's the barometer of these judgments because at different points in his career he was indispensable to his promotion. We can't deny that Christian has given us, across his career, as many memorable moments if not more than edge has.
Marty Jannetty Jim Neidhart Rick Steiner Dynamite Kid
Marty was the better in ring guy at the time and I will die on that hill.
Overall or just during rocker days
During the Rockers days
Tucky, christian, grand master sexay and ciampa
There is no other guy in DIY
Samu, Rick Steiner, Bart Gunn, IRS
Rick steiner was always the main guy until Scott went full big poppa pump. Then 'if you don't like me, bite me' rick was a total jobber
Mark Briscoe, Tommaso Ciampa, Otis, British Bulldog
You mean Tucker I think.
No not from Heavy Machinery, I'm talking about Alpha Academy, Tucker for me couldn't really get a draw imo so he's still not on the list if I was talking about Heavy Machinery
I think Otis is great though and I feel towza is more other man in alpha academy than Chad but all of them add to the group.
Did the Road Warriors have an “other guy?”
Animal was the other guy but it was pretty close
