Some names to watch before it’s deleted

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Understood.

I’d swap out a few here and there from your list, but would have to think through my Wrestling Top 25….

Macho would be in there. Not @Coach Macho - but I wouldn’t wrestle him for chicken wings that’s for god **** sure..

Macho is my #1. The guy got me into watching wrestling. My mom loved him.

Her favorites were Ric Flair and the Undertaker, though.

No one in our family liked Hulk Hogan.


OK. @Liberty City El who's your top 5 Japanese wrestlers?

 

[Angry Ibis]

Waiting for @fraggle wrestling list to contain Bruno Sammartino, Buddy Rogers, Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat....





Funny but we're great **** wrestlers.


P.S. Andre the Giant is also on record of being scared of Harley Race as well.

I believe it’s the King Harley Race to you, sir.

I was in the United Club in the Houston airport when I saw he was in the accident. I needed a drink.

Who, Macho or Hulk?

 

[AV1994]

There’s no feeling like watching wrestling on tv and all the lights go out and you hear the ****’s bells. Undertaker was my favorite for sure

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

I believe it’s the King Harley Race to you, sir.

The only 2 (ok now 3) kings I will acknowledge are:
Macho King
King Booker (in my top 20)
King Regal (in my top 20)

 

[CANEMC]

Andre the Giant
Junkyard Dog
Kamala
Ric Flair
Roddy Piper
Macho Man
Aaron Sheik Feld

Lmao Trob just became my fav coach ever.... As long as he stays

 

[TOcane]

You know all the kids favorite wrestler… Ted Dibiase.

 

[Memnon]

No Goldgerg?

Fck no, I couldn’t stand Goldberg...

One of the most overrated wrestlers of all time IMO.

Zero Mic skills & stiff as a board on a cement slab.

Couldn’t work a match for long than a few minutes, had horrible ring psychology & was a dangerous worker.

He ruined The Hitman’s career kicking him in the head & essentially cutting his wrestling career extremely short.

He was a byproduct of WCW’s booking, but his actual in ring skills have always been average at best.

Anytime he wasn’t booked in a squash match he looked like a fish out of water, go watch him vs William Regal, he got worked & couldn't handle being in an actual shoot match.

He was way over when he first debuted on WCW, but once it ended he really wasn’t as great as they made him look.

JMO though.

Kamala scared TF outta me as a kid.

One thing I didn't know was how close Junkyard Dog was with the Anoa'i family.

 

[Memnon]

Sorry for doubting your eval skills, your spot on. His character/persona is one of the best ever. But it’s Rock and Taker for me at 1-2

I liked Stone Cold’s gimmick a lot, his shoots on Monday night Raw was appointment television when I was growing up.

But when I think of greatest wrestlers, I tend to weigh their actually ability in ring more so than just their gimmick.

Although, it’s all a part of the total package...

Speaking of Total package, how bout that Lex Luger huh? Lol

 

[surfcane]

1. The Rock
2. Bret “The Hitman” Hart
3. Undertaker “The Deadman” & “American Badass”
4. Booker T
5. Kane “The Big Red Machine”
6. “Big ****” Kevin Nash
7. Sting
8. Rey Mysterio Jr
9. Eddie Guerrero
10. Scott Hall/ Razor Ramon
11. Ted “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase
12. Shawn “HBK” Michaels
13. Dynamite Kid
14. Jake “The Snake” Roberts
15. Curt Henning

A nice list but a few others that are worth listing

Dusty Rhodes
Iron shiek
Road warriors
Paxon
Harley race
Mr wrestling no 2
Austin idol
Junkyard dog
Roddy piper
Abdullah the butcher

I think most knew he couldn’t wrestle lol it was just that power and intensity. Some of them spears he gave were crazy

 

[Damiencane86]

It was the Owen incident at Summerslam that changed his wrestling style to a brawler.

He was pretty **** good when he was stunning.

Owen Hart probably the best wrestler never to be WWF champ.

Facts. Him, Razor Ramon, Roddy....

Yep, this thread officially has AIDS.

I agree, when he was Stunning Steve in WCW he was actually a very good worker.

And speaking of Owen, he’s arguably one of the greatest workers as well, he was phenomenally gifted in the ring, ever more so than Bret in some aspects, as far as pure athleticism.

Probably the 2nd greatest ribber of all-time too, behind Curt lol.
