Bull Buchanan

[3.0] "I only remember this guy from his days in The Right to Censor and being in John Cena's corner, that's it. Aside from that, he was very bland as a wrestler, had nothing besides size and look. One of the prime examples of being big doesn't make you great."

[3.0] "Hothead. Only match I saw of his, he got stiffed by accident (it happens) and a receipt wouldve been completely understandable. A guy stiffs you, you go one4one and get even. Bull kicked the shit out of the guy he was supposed to be working with and ended the match by legitimately choking the guy out. Promoters, protect your talent, do NOT book this clown."

[0.0] "Dreadful worker and had the personality of a chair. Only got a spot in the business for as long as he did because he was tall and could do a scissor kick. Also couldn't BELIEVE he was only in his early 30s in 2000 as he looked like a drunk 50 year old Dad in the ring."

[4.0] "Guy could move, but didn't have a personality of his own and was just relegated to being a copy of Big Bossman, another body in Right To Censor and John Cena's tag along."

[4.0] "All he ever was, was "just another body" who was always made to dress like the person next to him. The Truth Commission, Big Boss Man's lackey, Right to Censor and last/least a John Cena clone, never had so much a sniff of his own persona. Great agility and ability to step-leap right up the ropes for quick turnaround n flies. For his size - this was magnificent and extremely impressive... but its all he had. well, that and a very good looking scissor kick. Inoffensive, but ultimately: useless. 3.75 rounded up"

[4.0] "Not the greatest worker on earth, but he was adequate in the ring. He was good as a part of the Truth Commission and as Bossman's heavy. And as Cena's sidekick. But in RTC, his career took a swift kick in the balls."

[7.0] "Bull Buchanan just didn't have the pizazz to pop-out in Attitude Era WWF, which is a shame, because Buchanan was an extremely talented wrestler that I think came around about a decade too late to be truly appreciated for his size and ability. With the proper mouthpiece, he could have been a major star in the 1980s. Regardless of that, his years in Japan gave him the opportunity to let his in-ring ability speak for him."

[3.0] "Just another body guy in an era full of body guys who were completely unremarkable in the ring. I definitely wasn't taken with his body of work."

[5.0] "Looking back at some of his matches he was pretty damn impressive. Big, explosive and athletic. He could do springboard clotheslines and top-rope leg drops with Mike Awesome like velocity. He looked like a freaking badass in his brief tandem with the Big Boss Man, unfortunately he never really received much of a push and doesn't have any notable matches or career highlights, but I liked him."

[5.0] "Honestly wasn't THAT bad of a wrestler beyond the generic look and lack of charisma. Guy could do some pretty good looking stuff for a man of his size when presented with the opportunity to do so and could work a fairly okish match granted he was in a tag match or whatnot. Guy could go and his post-WWE career showed that with relatively solid stints in NOAH and AJPW. Currently training his son, who by the looks of things could be a interesting prospect with a few years of tuning up."

[6.0] "He was a pretty okay wrestler in my opinion. He wasn't the best in the ring , but he got the job done."

[2.0] "The only thing that was good about him was his physique. He had too many gimmicks. Punisher was his best gimmick. Truth Commission was interesting for him. His biggest peak was with Rights To Censor. He tired to be successful with Big Bossman and John Cena but did not go anywhere. He was big at 6"7 but did hardly anything in the ring."

[2.0] "He's one of those guys who I just have a lot of trouble remembering. I guess being part of Right to Censor was what he's known for most? But even there he just kind of blended into the background while the other members stood out. He then did some stuff with Cena is a semi-comedy role & for Cena's benefit, they dropped him from that act pretty quickly."

[4.0] "If it wasn't for his size, there would be nothing about Bull Buchanan that would make him stand out at all."

[5.0] "Eigentlich hatte er den perfekten Körper, um Wrestler zu sein. Ein Powerhouse mit fieser Ausstrahlung. Er konnte es allerdings nicht wirklich in den Ring bringen."

[3.0] "Also ich fand ihn eigentlich nicht schlecht als er zusammen mit dem Big bossman ein Team war. Mit der truth comission oder rtc war er schlecht aber der Tiefpunkt war mit John cena zusammen. Seine in Ring skills waren an sich gar nicht so schlecht ."

[0.0] "Ich fand Buchanan schon immer richtig mies im Ring und auch außerhalb, egal ob Mitglied von Right To Censor oder als Mitläufer von John Cena. Der Typ kann im Ring vielleicht die Grundmoves die jeder kann und seine Ausstrahlung scheint er jedesmal im Keller vergessen zu haben. Letztendlich gut, dass aus ihm in der WWE nichts Größeres geworden ist."

[5.0] "War in der Right to Censor eigentlich immer ein Grundsolider worker der für seine größe auch relativ beweglich war."

[8.0] "A very undeserved rating here because for a big man I'd probably put him in the same league as Mike Awesome, Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader, in terms of agility. Also I felt his mic skills were very underrated, however he didn't really get the chance to show them other than during his time in the RTC and his most recent appearance on Raw. But any time he was on the mic, I thought he did quite a good job."

[10.0] "I don't know why Bull Buchanan would have kind of a low rating on here because I think that Bull Buchanan is one of the greatest big guys in the history of professional wrestling. His in-ring work was very good because he would do stuff that a normal big guy wouldn't be able to do like a scissors kick and a diving leg drop off the top rope. I think he's one of the greatest, toughest and most underrated big men in the history of this business and for him to have kind of a low rating on here just sickens me."

[4.0] "Wir klammern die Zeit der Truth Commission mal aus, denn diese Militärgimmicks sind zum Großteil doch arg farblos und gerade dort hat er im Team mit Sniper kaum für Aufsehen gesorgt, da der Fokus auf dem Interrogator (Kurrgan) lag. In seinem Run mit dem Bossman fand ich ihn passabel. Er etablierte sich dort als agiles Powerhouse. Sein Turn zur RTC hat ihm absolut gar nicht geholfen. Zu sehr stand er im Hintergrund und war lediglich die "Muscles" des Teams. Dann ging es grundlegend noch weiter bergab, da er in der Rolle des B2 an der Seite von Cena komplett fehlbesetzt war. Also ab nach Japan, wo man ihn als passables aber nicht überragendes Powerhouse einsetzte. Und grundlegend ist es das was unterm Strich bleibt. Sicherlich nicht der schlechteste Wrestler, aber auch keiner der einem aufgrund von überragenden Matches oder Promos, sondern eher aufgrund des Looks in Erinnerung bleibt, und selbst da hapert's doch ein wenig."

[7.0] "Fand ich zu RTC-Zeiten eigentlich sehr brauchbar - für mich kommt der oft zu schlecht weg. Buchanan hatte einige wirklich tolle Moves auf Lager, leider ht es ihm wohl an der nötigen Ausstrahlung gefhelt, um einen besseren Platz im Roster zu erhaschen."

[4.0] "Buchanan konnte ich in der WWE/F anno 2000 ungefähr gar nichts abgewinnen.. War hald da, aber in Japan immerhin besser. 4 Punkte."

[6.0] "Buchanan ist kein schlechter Big Man, habe ihn in Japan gesehen, wo er wirklich gutes zeigen konnte. Aber seine Gimmicks waren einfach nur überflüssig. Die Funktion als Cena-Sidekick war dann das Letzte."

[5.0] "Das Problem ist ja generell, dass die Wrestler fast nur im Mainstream auf sich aufmerksam machen können - und dann kommt es auch immer drauf, welches Gimmick man verpasst bekommt. Buchanan hatte das Pech, in der WWF von der Truth-Comission, über den Bossman-Sidekick bis hin zum weissen Gangster-Rapper durchgereicht zu werden. Und das war schlichtweg undankbar, hatte er doch erstaunlich intensive Powermoves, eine ansprechende Beweglichkeit und einen wiedererkennbaren Look zu bieten."

[3.0] "Beeindruckender Look und gelegentlich mal erstaunlich beweglich, ansonsten allerdings nicht wirklich brauchbar."

[0.0] "ALs B2 und auch als Bull Buchanan in Right to Censor total überflüssig."

[5.0] "Ich mag diesen flexiblen Stil. Groß, trotzdem beweglich. Ich finde ihn recht unterhaltsam."

[7.0] "Gerade in Tag Team Matches ziemlich brauchbar, was er in Japan oft genug unter Beweis gestellt hat."

[2.0] "Kann seine Japan-Zeit nicht beurteilen, aber in der WWE ganz schwacher Big-Man ohne Charisma und Mitglied eines der schlechtesten Stables ever."

[4.0] "Klassischer Tag Team/Stable Wrestler, der alleine nicht in der Lage ist, etwas zu reißen. Note 4 für seine In-Ring Fähigkeiten und auch alles andere."

[4.0] "Als Bull Buchanan im Stable Right To Censor ganz passabel, aber als B² an der Seite John Cena's einfach nur mies. In Japan ist er aber ganz gut aufgehoben und verzeichnet auch einige Erfolge."

[2.0] "Schlechtes Powehouse, stand Cena zu Beginn seiner Karriere Gott sei dank nicht lang im Weg."

[4.0] "Als Bull Buchanan war noch das zu ertragen ... sonst eigentlich eine totale Niete!"

[6.0] "Find ich absolut okay den Typen! Relativ groß und schwer und naja, irgendwie gehören solche Leute zum Wrestling dazu und seine Gimmickleistungen waren auch okay..."
