The Heenan Family Ranked - From Worst To Best

14. The Red Rooster

I think it is safe to say that whatever the list, if The Red Rooster is an entry he'll find himself near the bottom. Terry Taylor is one of those quasi-legendary names in professional wrestling, a long-time journeyman who was probably underrated in his time. The Red Rooster is the regrettable low point of Taylor's career.

The Red Rooster was briefly a member of the Heenan Family, and was portrayed as a total novice who couldn't put together a match without constant advice from The Brain. Obviously this didn't exactly lead anywhere particularly interesting, culminating in Rooster tiring of Heenan's coaching style and turning face.

Rooster would move into a feud with Heenan's newest protege, The Brooklyn Brawler. It didn't set the world alight, and Taylor left the WWF at the beginning of 1990.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
