Son of the legendary Johnny Valentine, and a legendary wrestler in his own right, Greg The Hammer Valentine was a fixture of Rock n Wrestling era WWF. Ostensibly, the Greg Valentine character used his shin guard to enhance the effect of his devastating figure four leglock, but in reality, Valentine never needed any other way to dish out pain and suffering on those he faced off against. Thats not to say that Greg was a bad wrestler. Far from it, The Hammer was actually a fine technical wrestler, with bags of stamina and a wonderful way with the fans, its just that Greg Valentine was cut from a different cloth to most of the other wrestlers of his era, namely, he was cut from the beaten up, decades old leather of the old school and, as such, he worked stiffly. As a result, his matches still look good and his offence is still utterly convincing to this day. Greg The Hammer Valentine may clock in as the second most punishing opponent of all time, but he should also be remembered as one of the best a wrestler could have hoped to lock up with.
