You like your flair players, seems he would have been right up your street, at his best
Drago was good to watch in my opinion
I’ve never really had ‘favourites’ (bar Cliff Wilson, of course), which I find quite beneficial in wataching the sport as I’m almost always rooting for the player who is behind in the hope of a dramatic decider. I have had a few players down the years I didn’t really like - some, because they came across as not very pleasant individuals, others because although they may have seemed decent enough in themselves, I just never took to their style of play - so was generally happy if and when they lost.
Possible exception to this rule is peak Drago who, at one point was my absolute favourite to watach. I was convinced it would hold together long enough for him to win a Ranker and for a while backed that belief with cold hard cash (odds were always long), until such time as my sanity and - perhaps more important my bank balance - could sustain it no longer
