"Some of the more famous ones" - if you are like twelve!!!

You have to go back farther in time to find some real wrestlers, not "entertainers".  My favorites growing up were Dick Murdock and Cowboy Bob Watts (I think that was his name) from Oklahoma.  Mean SOBs for sure.

[toshortrock]

the undertaker is good,stone cold was funny as hell,i like sting,even tojo,

[Boared]

I don't think you can really compare the older ones such as JYD, Mr. Wrestling II, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, and Hulk Hogan vs. the newer wrestlers as they have better roids, more athletic, and are much larger.

[Buff]

stone cold was tough as a boot and mean as sin - thats my pick

[DOGALUM]

My vote.......

[Doyle Hograves]

The Ultimate Warrior

[hellrazor]

I'd have to ask:     on what grounds is someone the best?
technically?       Bret Hart, Beniot, Kurt Angle, Dean Malinko
Goldberg goes at the bottom of the technical ability list..
also.. I can not forgive him nor Brock Lensar for that lazy-ass excuse for a match at Mania XX.
There are guys at indy shows making 10 bucks a night and they've all put on a better show.



as for showmanship, I'd have to say either Hogan, Flair or Michaels.
Flair, because.. well, damn it, he's Ric Flair!

but I don't think anyone changed the face of wrestling more than Hogan and Michaels.

Bam Bam Gordy
... some UWF for that ass!

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

What about Andre the Giant?   "Anybody want a peanut"

[RazorWire]

Bruno Samartino was the best of all time. Mil mascaras close second. Mr Wrestling 2 third.

For showmanship none better than the Hulk. Rick Flair second  WOO!

[Snoop Hoggy Hog]

The Honky Tonk Man

[Lando Calrissian]

Shawn Michaels, before he turned old and crappy.

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker in that first ever "Hell in the Cell" match is the single best wrestling match I've ever seen.

Sting vs Hogan & the NWO takes the "best storyline" honors.

[secthumper]

The meanest SOB to EVER enter the squared circle!!

Bruiser Brody... stabbed and bled to death in Puerto Rico in 1988!

Long Live "The Bruiser"

His matches with Abdullah the Butcher in Texas in the 80's are still legendary!!

Danny Hodge would be a close second, followed by Maniac Mark Lewin, The Sheik, and The original Spoiler!

[LL COOL HOG]

The Von Ericks....need help with spelling.   They were my favorites.  Then It was Ricky the Dragon Steamboat?  JYD, JImmy Super Fly Sn%&%# something...heck  I was like 8 years old.  Then It became obvious that it was all scripted and way to many fake punches...just became a fun thing to watch....I can't take it serious anymore

Cowboy Bill Watts

Who you think would beat your ass down better in a bar fight.

My Picks; Junkyard Dog and Hacksaw Jim Dugan, before Wrasslin was show.

[mr4pt]

His matches with Abdullah the Butcher in Texas in the 80's are still legendary!!

I remember one where Abdullah the Butcher took out a fork and raked it across Brodies forehead......that was graphic.

[holman24]

an oldie but a goodie Harley Race!!!!  10 - time world heavy weight champion

[southog]

STING

[A-Town Hog Fan]

Hacksaw Jim Dugan is #1

[Swino]

Ko Ko Beware and Keri Von Erik


Best tag team is the Rock & Roll Express.

[A-Town Hog Fan]

What about the Ultimate Warrior and for tag team Hawk and Animal or the Bushwackers.

[Rocky&Boarwinkle]

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka

Junkyard Dog

I quit watching wrestling at like 11, so my point of reference is dated.

Flyin Bryan

[GorillaJMonsoon]

Gorilla Monsoon. Not only did he break backs, he went on to have a long career in broadcasting which showed that he could actually string together a coherent sentence, which is more than I can say for most of the roid burnouts today.  I haven't actually watched wrestling for more than 2 minutes in over 15 years so...

He was from back in the day when wrestling was real, smoking was good for you, and drinking and driving wasn't a crime. Most people probably just remember him as the announcer Robert "Gino" Marella. Here he is with the Governor to be of Minnesota.

[Inigo Montoya]

Hell if I know

[dman]

 8)Dr X, Freebirds tag team, Dandy Jack Donovan and his wife with the purse full of cold cream jars. Damn I'm getting old. :razorback:  MM will be a Razorback. :razorback:

What about the Rock and the Nation vs NWO back in the day for a story line.
I also likes the Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Stone Cold, the Rock, and Jerry "the King " Lawler.

Wrestling can still be very real and the audience will never know the difference.

Freebird:   PS Hayes and Terry Bam Bam Gordy
hell yeah
Oh yeah, Dr Deatch Steve Williams and Ted Dibiase!
Terry Taylor and Chris Adams!
That is probably the best time for wrestling that I can remember

[hellrazor]

what about el rudo or benjamin cayne?

they rock!

Benjamin Cayne, the greatest?
Oh yeah!  The only people that know that are the ones that know from experience.
Tell me, have you been to the top of space mountain!
:-D

You're a man after my own heart.  Ric Flair is the greatest showman EVER in wrestling AND the best talker!  There's a reason why wrestlers hate(d) getting in the ring with Hogan, Undertaker, Goldberg and the Ultimate Warrior.  THEY CAN'T SELL!  The guys that got in the ring with them had to do all of the work and carry the match only to lose in the end b/c those guys were the "chosen ones".

On the other hand Cactus Jack(bang! bang!), Shawn Michaels, HHH, Flair, Benoit and RVD are guys that can sell any move and will do anything for the match.  The other wrestlers love working with those guys.

My favorites are JYD(RIP), Mr Wrestling II, Shawn Michaels and (the oldest ride in the park but still has the longest line!) THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
