Prime Years: Early 80s - early 90s Why He Should Be Studied: Ever heard the phrase 'playing Ricky Morton' before? The primary reason to study Morton, besides the fact that he's a hell of a worker, is because of his incredibly ability to sell. The best face-in-peril in the business, Morton could take an ass kicking like no other. Ricky's good looks and small stature made him instantly sympathetic, especially to the women in the audience. If you needed to get heat on someone, Ricky would usually be the fall guy in angles, too. Watching old Rock and Roll Express matches, and seeing how much crowd support Morton could muster, it truly is something to behold. All current babyfaces on the WWE roster, especially those who compete primarily in tag matches, should check out as much Ricky Morton in his prime as they can. Do it, bubba.
