My Take
Tully Blanchard is a reminder that great villains make great wrestling. A San Antonio football player turned ring antagonist, he became indispensable as a member of The Four Horsemen, that benchmark for swaggering heel cool in the 1980s. What impresses me is the completeness of his act, athletic credibility fused with the cunning and microphone work that made crowds want to see him lose. His later run with the Brain Busters and eventual WWE Hall of Fame nod confirm it. I have deep respect for performers who commit fully to being hated, because the hero only shines as bright as the villain allows.
