I like how Greg is 70 and looks pretty much the same really. He just looks like a 70 year old version of what he used to look like. He could probably pass for 5 or 10 years younger. Still has the blonde hair and rock n roll look. He appears to be in a much better way than most WWF 80's wrestlers. I never had any bad feelings about the Hammer when I was a little kid watching wrestling even though he was a heel. He was just a hard nosed, tough wrestler and never really did anything too gimmicky. He made a big mistake not leaving Vince to join the 4 Horsemen though. That would have been a perfect fit for him for his look and technical wrestling style. Plus, he was buddies with Flair.

The hammer 🔨 played his role so right that he had me believing that he was going to hurt my favorite wrestler at the time.

Because of the G he Hammer 🔨, there wouldn’t be a main event to come..

When you watch Valentine's matches, you cannot really tell that he was a heal. Being accompanied by his manager was the obvious clue that he was. Indeed, he may have done some questionable moves as expected from a heal, but no cheap shots. I think that's because he respected and adhered to the art of wrestling rather than the gimmicks.
