Gene Kiniski

[5.0] "He was such a shitty referee at the first Starrcade that he actively prevented the match from gaining any momentum. It irritated me so much that I don't have it in me to give him a good rating. He's forever immortalized as the insecure old guy who had to make an important match about himself."

[9.0] "2nd greatest Canadian star to Stu Hart during the true golden era of wrestling. This man is one of the most influential figures during his time and paved the way for other canaidians like Edge, Sami, Kevin, and even Bret to get their start. His rating on here should be way higher than all I mentioned before but maybe Bret. He may not have been the most technically perfect wrestler in the world, but he is still a great wrestler and one of the best heels in the world at the time. I think his importance makes the people who gave him a six need to rethink their answers here."

[10.0] "Kiniski was a legend in the ring. He held the NWA World Title for over 3 years and was the NWA's trusted main eventer to carry the title after Thesz's last run. He was also the first wrestler trusted to take the AWA World Title off Verne in the AWA. As "Canada's Greatest Athlete, " he was also a former professional football player for the Edmonton Eskimos. Additionally, Kiniski was the WWA World Champion, and is an inducted member of the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum HOF, the Lou Thesz Wrestling Hall of Fame, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, the NWA Hall of Fame, and the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame."
