Bart Gunn
By Scott Keith on 4 March 2018
Hi Scott,
At best Bart Gunn was an ok tag wrestler, poor promo and average look. Post brawl for all he had *some* kinda momentum, he wasn't exactly in line to be challenging Stone Cold Steve Austin on PPV but even a throwaway one time match with him on raw would have been better than what they ended up doing. I know it's boring fantasy booking, but what would you have done with him post brawl for all? Put him in the Big Bossman McMahons bodyguard role?
On a similar note, do you think Dan Severn would have more if an impact if he had come by in todays era? Not a good fit at all for 1998 attitude era WWF, but give him a manager in NXT and have him suplex the hell out of guys and tie them up in all kinds of crazy submissions and you might have something…
Cheers!
I never saw anything in Severn as far as being a top level pro wrestler. He was a total black hole of charisma and didn't have a good look, either.
As for Bart…tricky. I think probably the best use would have been as a Hardcore champion. But I don't think the Brawl for All got him over enough to make him a real contender to anything.
