Anyone that thinks Ellering was a bum is clueless. He was an excellent powerlifter and a first rate wrestler plus an excellent performer in the ring. On one episode of Georgia wrestling, Ellering did dtep ups for an hour without stopping in front of the audience. being a good wrestler doesn't mean back flips from the top rope and falling off ladders. His moves aren't like Hogans as Hogan had no moves. Why Heenan would talk down Ellering is beyond me.
actually idiot ellering was a catch wrestling machine dumb ass and his injuries were very serious i grew up in indy and watched the brain whole career and have to respectfully but forcefully disagree ellering would snap Bobbie's bones just that simple period
@ARMquaman Ellering had serious knee injuries which is what shortened his wrestling career. It wasn't an issue of lack of commitment or your most idiotic comment being a "pussy". Ellering was as mentally and physically tough as they came. He was a workout machine and would do feats to demonstrate his endurance when his strength was obvious. Medical science when it came to knee injuries wasn't what it is today. The Brain has NOTHING on Ellering intellectually or athletically.
Heenan's claim is valid by just trying to find solo matches with Paul Ellering, the moves are as basic as Hulk Hogans. It's VERY difficult if you tool around youtube. After about 1983 you can't find a single match with Ellering that the ROAD WARRIORS aren't there to cover his assin 6man form.
Bobby Heenan's right for the most part(as he is about everything, afterall he's"THE BRAIN".) Ellering was kind of a pussy as a wrestler, no commitment. He retired at 28 as a wrestler and became a mgr waaaayyyy too fast despite a greco Roman and power lifting background.
