The Resume

    Wrestled for the WWE (Then known as The Capitol Wrestling Corporation)
    Former United States Tag Team Champion and International Heavyweight Champion
    Member of the WWE Hall of Fame

Why he might be annoying:

    He wrestled wearing nothing but a Speedo.
    Although a legendary wrestler, most recent fans have no idea who he is due to the limited footage there is of him and because he passed away so long ago.
    He wrestled when the WWE was known as The Capitol Wrestling Corporation, therefore, when the history of the WWE is chronicled, he's rarely, if ever, mentioned.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Back when WWE was known as The Capitol Wrestling Corporation, he was the star of the show drawing packed houses everywhere.
    He was looked at as a phenomenon as he introduced wrestling to dropkicks, flying body presses and hurricanranas and his wrestling would be considered amazing even by today's standards.
    The fans were so passionate about him that a riot erupted at Madison Square Garden in 1957 when Dick the Bruiser busted him open.
    His matches were always the main event, even when the NWA Champion was wrestling on the card.
    He was Vince McMahon's first commentating partner, a job he did until his death in 1977.
    He's one of only four men to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Wrestling-Observer Hall of Fame.
    The WWE named him one of the 50 greatest wrestlers in the history of the company.
