Some people have said that Brad Armstrong was the best wrestler never to make it.  This is an unfair statement as Armstrong was a part of the NWA and WCW for a long period of time and never needed to beg for work in the business.  With that said, Brad Armstrong was an amazing talent who was one of the best in ring talents period.  What worked against him is that he lacked that intangible that could make fans care about him in mass which could have pushed him higher up the card.  Still, when those say his career wasn’t great, they fail to realize how hard it was for any wrestler to remain on a major roster for as long as he did regardless of their spot on the card.
