Wrestlers with zero heat

By Scott Keith on 7 July 2019

Hi Scott,

I was wondering if there are any wrestlers universally adored and / or respected by the rest of the wrestling fraternity. Guys (or gals) who have never been slagged off my another wrestler for their attitude or work ethic, or whatnot.

I can't think there'd be that many, wrestling being the contentious business that it is. Maybe someone like Ricky Steamboat or Bobby Eaton?

Any thoughts?
Ricky Steamboat's got heat with lots of people. Just because he played a nice guy on TV doesn't mean he didn't piss people off, notably due to "retiring" to run his gym on a couple of occasions and then returning weeks later to work for the other guys.
Now Bobby Eaton, there's a guy who everyone loved. You literally never hear a bad word said about him.
