Re: My top 5 favorite wrestlers + 5 more b level
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.

You forgot to add [censored] Hogan and his stupid no move having, plodding, repetitive, boring, sorry ass style of wresting.

I never liked Hogan all that much [/ QUOTE ] No way. EVERY kid that watched wrestling then loved him. [ QUOTE ] grew to hate him and what he did to WCW. [/ QUOTE ] 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? |

Re: My top 5 favorite wrestlers + 5 more b level
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. |

Re: My top 5 favorite wrestlers + 5 more b level
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.
