Haystacks Calhoun

[6.0] "A lot of folks don't realise how over he was, and seem to be judging him without knowing much about him. He was believable, and in the 60s could wrestle well. There's a match available of Haystacks vs. Buddy Rogers that I'd recommend people go watch. Other wrestlers have said how safe was in the ring, and was always careful to make sure his weight didn't hurt anybody, which is rare for a worker his size."

[1.0] "Big man who cant move he had some ok matches but nowtthanks to him, his only jobe was to stand there and be tall and wide, witch he was so job done? Had some not bad matches aginst better workers from the 60s wich save him from a zero but god."

[3.0] "One of the original big fat hillbillies. Waddle around, basic stuff, sit on a guy and win the match. This stuff was outdated even by 1982."

[8.0] "In his early career he could put on a passable match. Later in his career, he became immobile and in some tag team matches, he would not even enter the match. Overall, he was more of an attaction than a wrestler. He grabbed some tag team gold, as he really would have struggled to put together programs required of a champion. I generally put attractions as a 6, but along with Monsoon, he's probably the best of the "fat guy" wrestlers. Better than Man Mountain Mike, The McGuire Twins, Man Mountain Campbell and Happy Humphrey, so I'll toss him a point. I'll add another point for longevity."

[0.0] "Oh come on. Who are some of you trying to fool? He sucked. Another non bumpin, do nothin' throwback to the carnival days when sometimes all you needed was girth. His massive drum body with it's frail tooth pick arms looked/will always look terrible. Some of these old timers are so over appreciated it's just asinine. Crap, pass, avoid."

[8.0] "A pioneer for the super heavyweights. At 600 lbs the guy could move. Wrestling moves were not the best but he entertained the crowd."

[5.0] "Mostly treated as a spectacle wrestler, similar to Andre the Giant. However, he never had the presence that Andre had, considering his size, he was okay in the ring. RIP"

[6.0] "If Andre the Giant can have a 7. 00+ rating then so can Haystacks Callhoun. While he may not be the best big man to ever live, he could still move pretty well in the ring. He also played a good baby face and in all the matches I have watched of him the crowd was super behind him. Overall in my opinion better than Andre the Giant 6/10."

[10.0] "Before Andre the Giant came in to the scene, it was first Haystacks Calhoun who was a major draw among the big men in wrestling. His feud against Happy Humphrey will never be forgotten by old school fans. He may not be a great technical wrestler but was always fun to watch and he just really wants to give the crowd a good time. A true gentle giant Haystacks was."
