This one is the opposite of the post I've just made.
Have there been any Legends wrestlers you were really looking forward to, but you were let down when you finally saw them in action?
Ox Baker is the first example that springs to mind. Ox is the most fearsome looking jobber in my fed, and I've failed to have any luck with him in singles or tag action.
Jim Duggan was my hero growing up, so I naturally have a slightly inflated view of him...so the fact that he's only moderately more successful than Baker is a huge disappointment for me. This is tempered, however, with the fact that his card is good enough to beat most anybody, just not frequently...and I always tend to throw juicy storylines his way, just out of fondness.
The Missing Link was, again, another guy I had fond memories of as a kid, so seeing him struggle in my undercard is very disappointing. Again, like with Duggan, I tend to throw him meaty storylines out of fondness.
Rikidozan and Ed "The Strangler" Lewis were guys that I thought were going to radically shake up the landscape of my LWF...and both have flopped tremendously. Lewis did not turn out to be the LWF's answer to Chaos, and is barely their answer to Archon.
Any guys you were pumped to see coming into your fed that did a big belly-flop for you?
