Hide beat Micheal Bentt and a overweight Tony Tucker!!! Wow, legend!!!!

hide had good talent. he was just a bit too small to hang with the best of the big boys

Agreed Beez...but Hide's lack of size was just one part of the problem.

He was also hampered by his his often very eccentric and frankly obnoxious behaviour as well...he was know to be an erratic trainer and a difficult character well before the likes of Vitali and Bowe threw him around the ring like the proverbial rag doll. There was a lack of professionalism there as well.

I still think Hide would have flourished if he'd knuckled down and lived the life under an old school guvnor like Terry Lawless; someone who would have grabbbed him by the collar and forced him to get his life sorted inside and outside the ring.

But Lawless was winding down at this point and probably did not need or want the aggro of having to life-manage someone like Herbie.
