I see and appreciate what you're saying here, but these are two totally different cats. Messenbrink is utterly overwhelming at all times. Bo is more of a bully that imposes his will. They are similar and different at the same time.
Speaking of which, Mitch Messenbrink has to be like top 5 all time least fun guys to wrestle. Gotta suck to be out there for 7 minutes with that guy.
