What about the Von Erichs?

I don't remember the daddy's name

Kevin
David
Eric
there were a couple of others...I believe it was Eric that became the world champion.

Yeah, I quit watching around 1980...so...that's all I've got.

Who was "the handsome half breed"? Anyone remember him?

LXXIII · January 12, 2006, 11:58:26 am

My favorites are the younger Rick Flair, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, The Ultimate Warrior, and Randy "Macho Man" Savage

heinekenhary · January 12, 2006, 12:10:29 pm

I'm having a brain cramp. Who was in the Rat Pack? Ted, Hacksaw and......... I can't remember.

I still remember watching the match when Ted turned heel, cheated and loaded up the glove against his best friend, JYD! HE WAS THE BEST MAN IN JYD'S WEDDING FOR GOODNESS SAKES!
I was more than a little upset.

Guys who are obsessed with Pro Wrestling need to analyze what they are obsessing about: Men in tights, getting in all kinds of positions with each other....TWICE, because they already rehearsed all of this...alone.

Hardcore wrestling fans: You may keep trying to deny your "true" feelings but: "You can run but you can't hide from your true self."

I hate wrestling.

The 2 weeks leading up to Buzz Sawyer coming to Mid-South wrestling were classic. They would show videos of Buzz out in the pen with his dogs, b/c that's where he lived, in the pen. He would chain himself up so that he couldn't get out, b/c he knew he was so dangerous(i was young, it never occured to me that if he chained himself up, he could just unchain himself, too). He freakin' ate out of a dog bowl in the video, it was great! I was ready for him to get there so that the real dog, JYD, could beat the crap out of him.

Billy wicks was the best I've seen.

Without A doubt.............THE FABULOUS JACKIE FARGO..............He rarely got beat & if he was, he would go get his little brother NUT HOUSE FARGO.........and it was OOOOONNNN !!!

hydrophonic · January 17, 2006, 01:38:27 pm

One of the Von Erichs - Kevin, I think - is still living.

Samoa Joe is the best wrestler not already mentioned in this thread.

Some of my other favorites are Kurt Angle, Petey Williams, Chris Benoit, and...

"The Greatest Wrestler Alive Today" Triple H.

dmhog v2.0 · January 17, 2006, 01:51:29 pm

Bret HArt or Flair. But Kurt Angle will take over honors soon.

My personal all-time favorites are Sting and Jericho.

bdutt · January 17, 2006, 01:54:46 pm

Rick. Flair.

The craziest wrestler I've ever seen is Cactus Jack. That match with the Under Taker was the most brutal wrestling match I've ever seen. He fell 20 feet off the top of the cage into a TABLE!!! nuts.

dmhog v2.0 · January 17, 2006, 02:00:55 pm

How about the bumps Flair took on Raw last night? Not bad for a man his age.

Fine, this has gone on long enough without me weighing in...

Look to the left. The Hitman .. as in Bret Hitman Hart. All time best wrestler. Hands down!

Other good ones include Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrerro (sp?) .. notice they are all technical, and aside from Beniot good on the mic.

None of this lame ass leg drops or people's elbow crap. Although The Rock could verbally spare w/ the best of them.

The_Bionic_Pig · January 17, 2006, 03:13:28 pm

The last interview I heard with Brett Hart comments were that he cannot return to wrestling due to his stroke but would love to get into it in some way (Managing, commentating) McMahon has been trying to get him back for the last few months (recall the WWE playing his intro music during one of Shawn Micheals matches and the Heartbreak Kid looking scared and worried)

Brett Hitman Hog · January 17, 2006, 03:23:07 pm

They were enticing him with his old archive footage. They worked something else out for Bret to get that stuff. However, with the way the WWE has gone with all the sex and stuff, Bret won't do much with them. That was one problem he was having before he left for WCW. And it's gotten real raunchy at times since.

dmhog v2.0 · January 17, 2006, 03:24:58 pm

Bret's been rumored to be talking to TNA, but nothing has come of it yet.

How great would a Hart vs. Angle match be?

Brett Hitman Hog · January 17, 2006, 03:31:32 pm

That would rock if Bret hadn't had that stroke on his bike several years ago. Bret vs. British Bulldog and Bret vs. Chris Beniot in WCW was two of the best matches technically I have ever seen.

well for that to happen, Hart would have to go to WWE, or Angle to TNA......unless you meant hypothetically?

Both of those matches are on the 3 DVD Bret Hart set that WWE just put out.

That set is well worth the $25 for Hart fans and fans of technical wrestling in general.

is Ric Flair not the best damn "bleeder" out there? Watching his match last night with Edge, that dude bled on everything. Funny how his daughter was at ringside and crying her eyes out....doesnt' she know it's fake?

hydrophonic · January 18, 2006, 07:03:36 am

His daughter was one of the things that took that match from "pretty good" to "outstanding." I really loved hearing her scream "Get up Dad!" I totally marked out during the match, and his daughter was one of the things that pushed me over the top.

One thing I really like about WWE is the gratuitous crowd shots.

Another excellent recent example:
When Batista was vacating the World Heavyweight Championship they kept cutting to a woman that looked like she might be crying. She kept shaking her head and yelling "NOOOOO!"

There are a lot of things that WWE could do to improve their shows, but this is one thing that they do right consistently.

Kevin n Hog Heaven · January 18, 2006, 08:26:59 am

Bret is without a doubt the best there is, was, and ever will be. I miss watching him perform dearly.

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:

Verne Bottoms was Dandy Jack Donovan's wife. She was tough. On the old McGuirk tv show from the '60s, one week Danny Williams, the announcer, was introducing them before a match one week. He intro'd Donovan and then he said, "And as his manager (long pause - looking over at Verne Bottoms)Old Lady Bottoms." He ran out of the ring, while she and Jack pitched a fit and she threw her purse at Williams.

For the best of all time, I would have to go with Danny Hodge. He dominated NCAA wrestling at Ok St, came very close to making the Olympics as a teenager, was cheated by a Soviet-bloc judge in the Olympics that he did compete in or he would have had the gold, was Golden Gloves boxing champion and trained by Strangler Lewis for Leroy McGuirk. Many of the old timers place Hodge at the top.
As far as best worker goes: Ric Flair would have to be on the list. Ted DiBiase is very respected in the business. Buddy Rogers. Dick Murdoch could work with anyone when he wanted to work. Ernie Ladd was fantastic. Hogan is a terrible worker, but he could work a crowd. The Von Erichs could almost match Hogan for charisma, but had too many personal demons.

Who is the best wrestler of all time?
