Kim Duk

[3.0] "I only know his mid 80's WWF stuff when he was a mainstay of the house shows, usually losing to the up and coming baby faces and other mid card acts. I put him over in the 1980's WWF version of the create a wrestler gallery of generic jobbers who were just there to make the guys who sold merchandise sell that much more merch."

[5.0] "Has grown on me so this is a full re-write and based on his American run from about 1981 to 88. Not your standard territory "man from the orient" gimmick, as his style was a more linear full on brawl/ground & pound akin to say a Baron Scicluna. For whatever reason he being booked as a babyface in World Class really worked, too bad he was in & out. Babyface Kim Duk/Tiger Chung Lee on paper doesn't seem right but he could pull it off. His tenure in Mid South as upper level heel enhancement talent seemed tailor made for him. His WWF run as Tiger Chung Lee is a bit more dull than the rest though. Some nights he obviously didn't care. He doesn't do much but also isn't overtly offensive, he's honestly "just another body" but you need guys like this."

[5.0] "Judging him primarily based on his AJPW stuff as Kim Duk and Tiger Toguchi. He was alright early in his career when pushed as a rival for Jumbo Tsuruta. However, it became evident very fast why Jumbo was the star of the set. Whereas Jumbo Tsuruta constantly felt like he was five years ahead of the curve, Kim Duk felt at least five years behind it. This is very much a man who learned how to wrestle in the late sixties and never even bothered to adapt his style during the tamult seen in the three decades that followed. Simply put, the man couldn't keep up and got outmoded. He was alright as a job guy in WWF, though. Takes all kinds."

[4.0] "This guy was basically a jobber to the stars. He teamed with Mr. Fuji often, but I'm not sure I ever saw him win a match. He looked good, but never seemed much of a threat to anyone."

[1.0] "I don't get this guy at all. Every match i've seen of his he is just the pits, shits, the stains. As a brawler guy I can say that Kim Duk doesn't stand out at all, infact he's pretty bad at it."

[6.0] "Duk was a solid tag guy who could play the sneaky heel but is widely forgotten for being one of AJPW's first native rivals to young Tsuruta both professionally and personally and was being pushed as one of the top native workers for a time until management realised that he just wasn't going to be fitting into that role. Decent talent in terms of technical work and could be carried to a great match if he was in with people who could drag it out of him, but otherwise stale and not really worth a lot of investment. He'd continue to be a good fixture on the tag scene in the WWF as well as NJPW and WAR respectfully, so I'd say he had a pretty impressive career considering."

[7.0] "I thought he was good. He could break bricks with his hand. His style was great. Memorable in the WWF as Tiger Chung Lee in the early to mid 80's. Stills wrestles at 70 and is the WEW heavyweight champion."

[5.0] "Tiger Chung Lee was an acceptable wrestler, paired well with Mr. Fuji. Though not as good a partner as Prof. Tanaka, Chung Lee is most memorable to me for his martial arts demonstration on an early episode of Tuesday Night Titans."

[5.0] "Kim Duk was a decent enough brawler but his wrestling skills were just average at best."

[5.0] "An average Asian wrestler in WWF. His last outing was in 2010 for 2 matches in DDT. I really like to see him back in the ring."
