I'm removing Kevin Nash out of the list - in no way is he a hoss. He has had a very high workrate during most of his carreer, has hever generated X-Pac heat, and is considered to be one of the best big men in the pro-wrestling history. (DuDe)

I'm sorry, did you just mention "Kevin Nash" and "high workrate" in the same sentence? You're right, of course, he shouldn't be on the list because of his charisma, but dude... Nash? Workrate? --HBK 00:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, he obviously doesn't have a high workrate now, but he's 47 years old, I figure you can give him some slack :) I think he has had a very decent workrate during his first run in the WWF and his run at WCW... DuDe

Why do you think the critics call him "Big Lazy" for? If you've watched one of the episodes of TNA Impact and his last WWE appearances, the audience was dead, and even Triple H got more heat than Nash!

That's because Triple H had a lot od heat. --66.146.59.114 00:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure Albert belongs on this list? He may be hated by smarks but he's pretty talented and a good workrate. The reason people hate him is because he's a human chia pet and he is not good on the mic. (BackLash 11:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC))

I agree, Albert is an awesome worker, who doesn't deserve to be on the list.

also, was there some bizzaro world where The Big Show was good in the 90's-2002? and some other bizzaro world where the Big Show was bad from 2002 onwards?

I really don't think John Cena belongs to this list. I stand to be corrected though.

I agree: John Cena does not fit the given definition of a "hoss" due to his size (6'1", 240lbs), charisma (let's face it, he's got it), and in-ring ability (while no Kurt Angle, he's not at a hoss level either), and was probably just included by an angry anti-Cena internet smark. He should definately get removed from this list.
