"The best I ever saw was Fit Finlay, You got Shawn [Michaels], and Eddie [Guerrero], and Undertaker, you got some incredible talent ... Finlay was the best I ever saw ... Finlay when he was in Europe was, I think, the greatest professional wrestler ever.""He was the one that brought the whole 'women's movement' into being," Bradshaw continued, "I don't know it was a rib or not, we all thought it was ... all of a sudden you give him women that really didn't have important matches. They didn't, they were almost filler, which is terrible, a sign of the times. They are where they should be now, but Finlay was a guy who really helped bring them into this equality that they should've had all along."
