people tell me there is rule bending throught the history of the HW division and the champ often gets away with a lot which i can understand

wlad does an outragious amount of rule bending that multiplies lots and lots when he is in with someone dangerous

there is clearly money driven corruption going on, for this reason i find it hard to place him

i personally dont think he would still be champ if made to fight anywhere near within the rules

he was clearly a high level contender in that generation of when he became champ (prior to the excessive rule bending obviously) tho
