REVIEW:
He started off as a stereotypical and somewhat basic fighting game wrestler, but since they brought him back in several games; he actually developed quite nicely. He 's got all the trademarks of a classic pro-wrestler, hence a very overconfident and goofy personality; which pretty much became the meat of of his design in the Capcom VS SNK series. Speaking of meat... "You ahhh dead meat!" Cracks me up every time.

It was a nice surprise to see him appear in KOF XII, and he does a pretty good job as the wrestler / big guy of the game. He's as fat as ever, but has a new "coolness" about him in KOF XII, his super move should be a bit better. I look forward to seeing him develop even more in the sequels.
