jim powers seemes like a really good guy post more jim powers macthes from wwf superstars

[HarveyFoFi]

Yeah, that sucks Jim Powers & Roma never got a push in the WWF.

@GohModley Brooklyn Brawler was awesome too.

[GohModley]

@thewolfmanchu Frank Williams is better.

@HarveyFoFi I couldn't agree more. I always thought he had a good look about him in the 80s. He also seemed strong as hell. I remember a tag match he had against the Heart Foundation and he tossed Bret around like he was nothing.

I always thought he shoulda been pushed.

[thewolfmanchu]

The best jobber I ever saw!

[JonasDygd]

Wow, he only barely looks like he's aged since '92!

I met Jim Powers at Signature Fitness in Belleville , NJ. He shook my hand when I said I recognize him from WWF , nice guy.

@parkerxxxxxx Yeah I met him when I was a kid my father owned a liquor store near the Meadowlands (NJ) he was a regular customer. Very nice guy from what I recall.

@HarveyFoFi They couldn't stand each other and it would've been bad business to push an unstable commodity. Powers paid his dues jobbing to the stars through the mid 80s until he and Roma finally started to be pushed slightly, but their relationship outside the ring ruined it. Powers seems like a great dude though, so I'm kinda rooting for him to recover from his neck problems and carve out a decent finale to his career. Young Stallions FTW!!

@jldraw no doubt jim powers was a very able worker, with a great look and charisma and didnt deserve to be treated like a jobber to the stars on superstars. He easily could have been given a push and had the ic strap on him with the right gimmick and timing

[jldraw]

@manemustaine I've always had a lot of respect for Jim. He stuck it out with WWE despite never getting pushed for over a decade and certainly deserved better than he got. His reason why the YS weren't pushed is pretty much the accepted reason although as you pointed out I wonder if other teams of that era had something to do with it. Namely The Rockers who worked a similar gimmick to the Young Stallions.
