No way. He's run in the WWF in 1997 was awesome. He had two great matches with Bret Hart and was over as fuck.
Then he did alot of drugs and got jobbed out. Tom Brandi is now the Patriot and his shoot interview is fucking amazing.

I know he didn't suck. His run sucked. They were pushing him to be a main eventer but he fucked it up.

I agree, he should have easily been on this list with the right push. He came at a time when you had one of the greatest Anti-American heels in the Hart Foundation and you needed someone to step up and The Patriot was one of the best wrestlers in Japan and WCW and he could have been huge fighting Bret Hart. In Japan, he was much bigger. WCW also dropped the ball with him, and in the US, ironically, his Patriot gimmick was just never that big. A good wrestler, a gimmick that would be on paper, perfect for this list, and he was the first to use the Medal theme song that Kurt Angle made famous, but it just was never in the cards for him. Sucks because he was a good wrestler.

Lol no shit? I honestly haven't watched wrestling since middle school, I just saw the thread title and thought it would be funny to mention Sabu.

That is were he was billed from. He was actually born in Michigan, so it was just a play of his actual hometown. His character was the crazy homicidal, suicidal, genocidal madman from Bombay, India, but when he teamed with Rob Van Dam they would say Bombay, Michigan.

What about Bret Hart? It says Patriotic, not American Patriots.
I'm Canadian so the 97 Hart Foundation stuff was massively huge over here.
