The new movie that is lame with the Rock Dwayne Johnson reminded me of the lame eighties wrestler who went by the name of Hercules. The guy had to be one of the most unpopular wrestlers during that time period. What I mean by unpopular is not the same as hated because that would indicate fans actually cared something for the entertainer.Hercules was neither a wrestler nor entertainer and his matches were usually the most quietest in the arena (see wrestlemania 3) I remember going to a few WWF matches and when Hercules came out you could actually hear things outside the stadium. Hercules sucked and the thing that kids cared little about this clown was the fact they were insulted that this guy had to use some old story gimmick character for wrestling. This is the thing that was most insulting to the mostly pre-teen audience that made up the majority of the fans back then. Hercules was a jacked up steroids wrestler whose only gimmick was some ancient Greek character that was clearly unimaginable or relevant to wrestling fans. All the great wrestlers had interesting gimmicks that were both original and interesting and this guy had none of this. Hercules had an impressive physic but few cool wrestling moves and an inability to make a match long and lasting. This guy became tired quickly and he was eventually moved into tag team wrestling because he couldn't carry his weight around in the ring. Hercules should of just stayed in bodybuilding and never entered the world of wrestling.
