My Take
Larry Zbyszko is one of those wrestlers I respect more for his brain than his brawn. Turning on his own mentor Bruno Sammartino was a masterstroke of villainy that defined his career, and his later work as a sharp-tongued color commentator in WCW proved he understood the business inside out. With a real foundation in judo and amateur wrestling, he was never just a showman. I appreciate performers who can hold a crowd with words as easily as with holds, and his Hall of Fame induction feels thoroughly earned.
