Frank's autobiography is entitled "One hump or two?". FLAIR.

Toughie, as they both have incredibly strong FLAIRtributes, but in totally different areas of flair. Probably Worthington.

Spot on.

Frank has to win the overall title, but Kazenga deserved to go further if he hadn't got such a tough draw.

I like Kazenga a lot but he has more than met his match here.

Just to clarify are we talking flair whilst at the Albion? If so, how many of Worthington's antics were done with us?

My guess would be Frank got up to more in an average weekend while down here than some of his flairponents did in their whole career...

He certainly still had plenty of on field swagger. The fact that he was aging by the time got to us in some ways adds to his legend - the oldest swinger in town.
