Who's Your All-time Favorite wrestler?

[Fallsnative]

Just thought I'd start a thread talking our favs. Who they are, when they wrestled, what about them made you say this wrestler is my fav.

Me, well its pretty obvious is was Snuka. The Superfly lacked the mic skills, and wasnt the greatest wrestler by far. But he came in not looking like alot of the other guys - fat, not in shape (right American Dream?), and man could he FLY! He was one of the first to take that "high risk manuever" to new heights. A guy that would dive 15 feet off of a cage, whoo hoo.
Hulkster was also a fav. Big time guy, couldnt wrestle, but had that "thing" that made you cheer for him. Good on the mic, and got you excited.
4 Horseman were my fav stable. Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn and Ollie. THAT group was mean as shit! Especially Ollie Andersen. Even Arn said Ollie intimidated him.
Whats everyone else say?

[JLB]

Can't name just one.

Gorgeous George!

George :the animal" Steel

Tag Team: The Gallagher Brothers

Bo Bo Brazil

Ilio DiPaolo

[BLeonard]

Big Hogan fan when I was a kid. When I got older (Teens, late 80's early 90's), my fave had to be Mr. Perfect. As time went on, I really liked Undertaker, until he dropped the "Undertaker" gimmick and started riding the motorcycles, etc. Today, my faves would be Jericho, MVP and Mr. Kennedy. Favorite Tag Team? No question: Demolition.

[LVBillsfan]

As a kid definitely Hogan. I also loved Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, George the Animal Steel, and Macho Man.
Tag Teams-The British Bulldogs and the Bushwhackers.

[shotgun]

Gotta say Curt Henning was good. Sad ending for this guy. He really was a talented cat. I loved his attitude and the way he worked with Bobby the Brain Heenan.

[SHINEdown30]

hogan and shawn michaels to stone cold, the rock, undertaker and Mick foley.

What ever happened to those days. I cannot watch wrestling no more. It just bores me. I loved it when hogan wrestled, even more when stone cold and undertaker were top dogs. Undertaker throwing mankind off the cage, was one of the greatest matches of all time. Now a days...These wrestlers seem to have no hearts anymore.

[bigdog72ny]

favorite wrestler stone cold
favorite tag team legion of doom

[l3ills]

Stone cold steve austin 3:16 baby! I havent watched wrestling since he left....so boring and predictable.

[ricogarion]

As a kid I hated him but now I realize what a truly great performer the Big Cat was Mr.Ernie Ladd,also a hell of a football player for the San Diego Chargers .

[Ru]

I always liked "Earthquake" (John Tenta) because he looked like this semi-retarded, poor guy in my town.

[UBER PWNAGE]

All time fav- Brett Hart
Honorable mention- Goldberg, Stone Cold, Rock, Bobby Lashley

[D-Rocafella]

My all time fav is hands down The Rock.

When I was a kid watchin wrestling back in the late80's/90's I really never had a favorite, but liked wrestlers like Mr. Perfect and Bret Hart, it wasen't untill The Rock nation days that I finally had a favorite wrestler.

[BillsfaninVirginia]

All time favorite: Sting
Tag Team: The Heart Foundation
Announcer: Jessie "the body" Ventura

[The Chosen]

Brett Hart had to be my favorite. Never the biggest guy, but he could out wrestle any guy in the ring. His matches were never predictable. I also like HBK and HHH. Liked both before DX, then when they formed DX, they took it to a new level. Was a big Mr. Perfect fan in the 80's. Ricky Steamboat was a favorite of mine as a kid. Honorable mention to Leapin' Lanny Pofow. Liked Hogan, Macho Man, Stone Cold and The Rock, all before they got to be too big. They then got predictable. I loved the tag teams of the 80's, but don't have a favorite. Among those I enjoyed were the Killer B's, British Bulldogs, The Rockers, The Heart Foundation, Demolition, and Legion of Doom. Later on I liked the Outsiders.

[dmbfn40]

Brett Hart, Macho Man (back in the day), The Rock
Tag Team: Demolition

[unklechucky]

Ric Flair
Hall and Nash as a Tag Team

[crazyboi70]

I loved a lot of the wrestlers back in the day. Some of my favorites:

Mr Perfect, Ultimate Warrior, Ravishing Rick Rude, Koko B Ware, Brutus Beefcake, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Jake the Snake to name a few. There were a bunch.

The Rockers, Demolition, Power & Glory, Legion of Doom are a couple tag teams.

Newer would be The New Age Outlaws, Sting (original crow persona in WCW).

I didn't really watch wrestling from late 90's on, but I've watched it every now and then.

WWE guys I like are Mr Kennedy, Randy Orton, Jericho... not really any sweet tag teams around anymore. It's almost always two singles guys thrown together.

On youtube look up "classic wwf themes"... there is a guy who pieced a bunch of them together, has like 5 videos or so on youtube. It's nice to go back in time a little.

[NJBillsFan]

The Ultimate Warrior. He has been and will always be my all time fave. His power, his music, and his energy always made me like him the best. I will never forget WM6 when he beat Hogan for the Championship and became the first ever Heavyweight and IC champion.

my other faves over the years have been the early undertaker and Kane's. Just powerful guys who didn't speak a word and just kicked ass. that;s what made them awesome wrestlers. Then it goes to Rock and Stone Cold, as they were just fun to watch. They had great story line and charisma. they played their parts perfect, and i really enjoyed watching their stories if not their wrestling matches.

Mic Foley also deserves an honorable mention, as he lived for the business. I can always watch a mic foley match.

[sabres4cup]

Hbk,hhh,hogan

[lavuuk153]

Too many to list...but if i had to pick

Sting with Hart being 1 and 1a

tag team is a little bit easier: The Road Dogg Jesse James and the Bad Ass Billy Gun...the New...Age...Outlaws...and if you aint down with that, i got two words for ya...SUCK IT!!

[slowpokemcgee]

Favorite Wrestler - Doink the Clown

Kidding of course

All time for me would be close between Booker T and Goldberg

Tag team of Kane and Rob Van Dam

Rowdy Roddy, back a number of years. Can't beat the old Piper's Pit.

[Clemfield2622]

wow you guys really like 80's WWE, as do I.

but as i grew up and i saw more wrestling my tastes changed.

Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi are two of the best wrestlers ever. They are the Japanese equivalents to Flair.

Im also a huge sucker for cruiserweights. The Great Sasuke, KENTA, Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Liger.

Try to get a copy of Super J-Cup 95 and tell me you dont love the way those guys work

While the mid to late 90's were the height of popularity for wrestling, the 80's were a special time in the industry. There were so many colorful characters and the greats all had identities that still work today.

Kobashi is the best worker I have ever seen.
