How has everyone used Gorgeous George in their fed? Has he been successful?
I booked George into a feud with the The Sandman thinking it would be interesting to watch the sparks fly between the beer drinking slob (Sandman) and the high class fusspot. George dominated the feud in the ring. I then had George team with Buddy Rose against Jimmy Snuka and The Sandman. George and Rose put Snuka on the shelf. Suddenly, George was a top contender so I fed him to World Champion Frank Gotch thinking that Gotch would destroy him. No. George is now my World Champion!
Is the GG card really that good or is he just lucky in my fed?
Perhaps I might team George and Sandman somewhere down the road. I could call the team the Odd Couple.

Never had much luck with George he was one of the few guys that lost to Savage T. I know that was probably just luck but he never really did much for me prior to that either

I just started using George in my fed. He's teaming with Buddy Rose to form a team called, The Beautiful People. So far they haven't done much, but they're in my tournament to crown new Tag Team Champions, so anything's possible.
Take care,
Jay

When I started playing LWF, Gorgeous George was one the first champions I crowned, defeating Frank Gotch. He only held the title for a month or two until the Barnestormer took it from him. So I'd say he's as good as he is flamboyant.

Gorgeous George has a decent card but hasnt done anything for me. He is involved in a fued with Destroyer right now and hired Ox Baker as a gun to injure him.

He was my first U.S. champ, beating Ox Baker in the finals of a tournament, but eventually lost the belt to Greg Valentine. Later, he teamed up with Buddy Rose as part of the Gorgeous Playboys, but eventually he got injured and is now out of my fed.

Gorgeous George is on my RAW brand and he doesn't done too well for me. He lost his feud with Jimmy Snuka and just seems to lose far more than he wins.

I originally had three seperate feds and had a blast with George as my ECW champion. The best match was him vs. Sabu, where Sabu would put himself through a table and George would still be reluctant to cover him for the pin.

he was my very 1st Heavyweight champion but hasn't done much else. Lately he's starting to do alright in the Light Heavyweight division.

Gorgeous George had a one card reign as LWF champ for me. He's a little too sports entertainment for my taste so I don't use him much. I'm toying with the idea of teaming him with Ox Baker and calling them The Bad and the Beautiful.

He hasn't done much for me, but he's an entertainer. I would say he's actually at the lower end of my LWF, in fact when I bought the first set I had over 50 cards with the original 24 and Buddy Rose was second from bottom in my rankings!

Gorgeous George is one of the very few men to pin Bobo Brazil in my fed.

on this topic was priming him up for a big heel run in my relaunched CWA El Paso and he fell flat against the Boogie Woog Man.

He had a great feud with Frank Gotch when I first started my LWF, but he lost almost everytime. It was a case where I really liked the angle and that added a lot to the feud, but the matches weren't really close and George left soon after.
As a side note, Gotch became my number-one heel after that by playing off the feud, saying that he was the only "real" wrestler left and that he was going to run every other wrestler out of the LWF like he did George.

He was my first U.S. Champ. since then he's had some mixed success but he and Buddy Rose did beat the Roadies twice.
