My top 5 favorite wrestlers + 5 more b level

Counting tag teams as one

1. Shawn Michaels
2. Bret Hart
3. Sting
4. L.O.D. The Road Warriors
5. Kurt Angle

1. Rob Van Damn
2. AJ Styles
3. The Great Muta
4. Chris Jericho
5. Lance Storm

[IndieMatty]

You're missing Ric Flair.

[tbach24]

The only time I watched wrestling The Rock was the man. That said, I liked that huge sumo guy, Rashiki or something. And the two guys he hung out with.

Edit- I got really into it when the "coalition" split off. Right around the time HHH and the head guy and the girlfriend were trying to manipulate everything.

[Phoenix1010]

Awesome, I loved this stuff when I was a kid.

1. The Ultimate Warrior
2. L.O.D.
3. Brett the Hitman Hart
4. The Undertaker, oldschool
5. The original Degneration X

[The Stranger]

what about http://www.toydreams.co.uk/images/wwf/carded/irs.jpg ?

[-Skeme-]

Which Sting? Hopefully back before he was gay goth guy. The multi-colored face paint and short Blonde hair was top notch.

I always liked TaTanka when I was younger. Yokozuna was a funny character. The Undertaker when he was The Dead Man, way before his gay biker phase, and way way before his horrible 666 DEVIL WORSHIP phase. Blitzkreig was my favorite high flier, although his WCW career wasn't long. Jericho was hilarious when he'd mess up everyone's name. Kurt Angle was hilarious. When he said he liked The Big Show because he demonstrated some of the I's he stands for: intensity and integrity. Bret Hart for laying out Vinny Mac.

Actually I forgot Brian Pillman who was awesome so drop Lance Storm from the B list and add Pillman. His crazy "lone horseman" from ECW was the [censored].

Also AJ Styles is getting some heat from Taz. I'll update once I determine the outcome of the debate.

[Russ McGinley]

That should be Rob Van Dam, not Damn.

I'd have to break it down by feds:

WWF:
1. Randy Savage
2. Shawn Michaels
3. Bret Hart
4. Steve Austin
5. The Rock

WCW:
1. Sting (not Crow Sting)
2. Ric Flair
3. Goldberg (COOOOOLD BEEEEEEEEER)
4. Diamond Dallas Page
5. Chris Benoit

ECW:
1. Rob Van Dam
2. Sabu
3. Raven
4. Taz
5. Sandman

Tag Teams:
1. Demolition
2. Dudley Boyz
3. Hardy Boyz
4. Steiner Brothers
5. Harlem Heat

This thread almost makes me want to watch wrestling again.

[Eurotrash]

1. HBK

[Vince Young]

1. The Outsiders
2. STSA
3. Mankind
4. Sting
5. Rey Mysterio Jr.

[-Skeme-]

Harlem Heat was awesome. Stevie Ray was [censored] ripped. Booker T wasn't a [censored] back then, either.

"We want the gold, sucka! Hulk Hogan! We coming for you, nigguh!!" - Booker T

Chris Benoit was awesome as hell back in the day. I liked when the UFC guys were getting into it, Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock, although his psycho gimmick was kind of weak.

What do you guys think the biggest fads were? I remember EVERYBODY used to do the DX "Suck it!" motion back in the day, and everybody within a 2 ft radius was wearing Stone Cold shirts.

Good call on the Texas Tornado. Didn't the Von Erich family have a history of untimely deaths?

My 5:
1. The Ultimate Warrior - no wrestling skills, but one hell of an entertainer (side now...he's off the deep end now and is so far right politically he makes Reagan look liberal)
2. Bret Hart - kinda the opposite. Not an outstanding entertainer, but one of the best pure wrestlers.
3. Undertaker - before those stupid gimmiks
4. Stone Cold - during his early WWF days. He was badass. Then after a couple years it was just expected he was gonna be a badass, knock some people out, and kick back some beers. It got old.
5. Shawn Michaels - possibly the best entertainer that wrestling will ever see. He's still at it too, isn't he?

Anyone in their mid 20's to late 30's who doesn't put Hulk Hogan towards the top is flat out lying. Hulkamania was just F'N awesome back in the day. Wrestlemania III against Andre - getting robbed of the title on Saturday Night's Main Event - winning it back at Wrestlemania V "The MegaPowers Explode" - and then ABSOLUTE PANDAMONIUM in Wrestlemania VI "Hogan vs. Warrior". Doesn't get any better than those 4 years, IMO (Expcept MAYBE the Outsiders and nWo beginning).

Wow, I haven't watched wrestling in like 5 years, but like someone else said, kinda makes me wanna hit it up for old times sake.

Those were great matches but I never liked Hogan all that much and grew to hate him and what he did to WCW. So 1) I am not flat out lying and 2) [censored] hulk hogan and all the hulkamaniacs, [censored] them all straight to hell.

[vulturesrow]

The fact that only one person has said Mankind so far doesnt say much for this thread! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think we are due for a resurgence.

[___SK___]

i never was into hulkamania either. as you can see i am a huge kerry von erich fan. they both rose at about the same time and while hogan was taking his vitamins and saying his prayers, KVE was fighting flair in japan and blading in 60 minute matches.

Okay, that I believe. He totally F'd that organization, and I can see how it could skew your overall view of Hogan. But, come on, you were not into Hulkamania in the mid 80's?

[Soul Daddy]

I'm much more drawn to specific characters than the actual wrestlers. For example, Hollywood Hogan in the nWo was the most entertaining character ever. Red & yellow Hogan = blah. The only guy who seems to be above this is Michaels, so I guess he's my favorite.

At various points the following have been my favorites:

The Honky Tonk Man
Hollywood Hogan
Bret Hart - Hart Foundation circa 1997
The Rock - Corporatation
HHH - Facgime
Kurt Angle
Christian

And Trish Stratus is damn close to making this list.

Bobby The Brain Heenan pwns Hogan and carried his sorry ass story wise the entire time. I'll take Mr. Wonderful any day over Hogan. Hoagn had some epic matches but I always rooted for the other side.

[[censored]]

I would also like to add that Brock Lesnar had the potential with his combination monster size and world class amateur wrestling ability to be one of the greatest. However a combination of dumb ass booking (turning him good) and his idiocy (leaving to pursue pro football) squashed those chances.

As a kid I was really into NWA since I lived in the heart of North Carolina, we didn't get WWF.

One of my buddies in Florida took me to a show and said it would be awesome. It turned out to be one of the first ECW shows in Florida, and when I saw dudes getting slammed through tables and foreheads getting grated with cheese graters I was hooked again.

I lasted through the run of ECW on TNN, then when they collapsed and sold out, I quit watching.
