I didn't watch much of the new wrestling like WCW and all that DX (although I loved doing the suck it gesture), stone cold austin stuff. So most of my picks are from late 80s early 90s wwf haha.

[Edited on January 2, 2009 at 3:07 PM. Reason : ^haha I was forming my list as you posted, and def had him on there.]

1/2/2009 3:05:55 PM

This is hard b/c there are many wrestlers who are great workers, but I've probably never seen before in my life.

OK, my lists are:

Personal Favs (All-Time): Chris Jericho, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, and Sting (HM: Undertaker)

Personal Favs (Now): Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton (A lot of ppl can be on this list like Angle, Taker, HHH, HBK, The Hardys, etc.)

Best Tag Teams (Ever): Road Warriors/LOD (1), Dudley Boyz/Team 3D (2), Steiner Bros. (3), Demolition (4), Hart Foundation (5)

More lists to come.

1/2/2009 3:13:54 PM

Ok this is hard because almost everyone's list will be faces or at least spent a good portion of their time as a face

Top 5 Wrestlers
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
2. Hulk Hogan (Terrible Wrestler but brought wrestling to the limelight)
3. Ric Flair
4. Chris Jericho
5. The Rock
HM The Undertaker and Mick Foley

Top 5 Tag Teams or Stables

1. NWO
2. The Four Horseman
3. Road Warrior/Legion of Doom
4. The Hardy Boyz
5. The Dudley Boys

1/2/2009 3:23:17 PM

I'm not sure how this list was made with the Hart Foundation being misspelled.

Secondly, are we doing this based solely on popularity or a combination of popularity and ability.

Third, how in the blue HELL is the Warrior on any respectable list?

Fourth, really?? spot-monkey Hardy Boyz as a top tag team? does Jeff even know 3 wrestling moves?

Singles:
1. Ric "Space Mountain" Flair
2. Bret "The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be" Hart
3. Chris "the paragon of virtue, the ayatollah of rock and rollah, the man of 1,004 holds" Jericho
4. Chris "toothless aggression, I've murdered my family" Benoit (hate to put him on the list based on his murdering way, but the man could GO)
5. Kurt "your olympic hero" Angle

Tag Teams:
1. Legion of Doom
2. Hart Foundation
3. Dudleys (even sign guy and big dick dudley..... well, not really those 2)
4. Harlem Heat
5. Steiner Bros.

1/2/2009 3:41:08 PM

^I made my list off of personal favorites / entertainment. I loved the Warrior because of his insane rambling interviews, I'm pretty sure he was on massive amounts of drugs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiZgrIpbcA - great example of why I loved the warrior haha.

1/2/2009 3:48:50 PM

Foley
Michaels
Hart
Flair
Austin

LOD
Steiners
Hart Foundation

More or less in that order

Warror was probably the best character ever

Terrible wrestler though

Weren't there like 14 ultimate warriors? I'll put them all on my list.

1/2/2009 4:05:08 PM

I want to see someone defend not putting Mick Foley on their list

1/2/2009 4:16:05 PM

No order:

Stone Cold
The Rock
Hulk Hogan
Sting (mostly the 'colorful' days)
Ric Flair

NWO
DX
4 horsemen
LoD
Harlem Heat

^ No Foley b/c he has no wrestling skill... He can just take a beating.

There were 14 Villanos, several Mr. Wrestlings, a bunch of Doinks (and dinks), 2 Max Moons, 2 Patriots, 2 Diesels and Razor Ramons, 2 Undertakers and Kanes (and the undertaker's original storyline name was "Kane the Undertaker") but only one Ultimate Warrior.

also, regarding Mick Foley, I love the guy. He's an entertaining writer, cuts a hell of a promo, takes bumps like a motherfuckin champ, but he admits he's far from the greatest wrestler.

1/2/2009 4:24:39 PM

Ric Flair wasn't a great wrestler either

No one entertained like Foley, though

1/2/2009 4:28:24 PM

Fuck Foley, I can roll around on some tacks boo hoo hoo

Yeah Jericho may be my favorite recent wrestler from both a technical standpoint and a personality standpoint. The guy is hilarious.

I liked when he had a mini feud with Dean Malenko, and he was like "Screw you and your 1000 holds, I have 1004 holds!" and when he started naming them off every other hold was "arm bar".

i spelled hart foundation wrong cause im a WCW fan, the best era was in the NWO era when monday nights meant we had to choose between Nitro, MNF, or southpark,
them were the days

1/3/2009 2:43:52 AM

^ hasn't south park always been on wednesdays?

1/3/2009 2:46:33 AM

no, it actually used to come on i think right after nitro, around 10pm,
that was the days when everyone in the country would watch it every week

1/3/2009 3:13:10 AM

Please note that the Hart Foundation was formed in 1985 and WCW didn't exist until 1988.

1/3/2009 11:11:50 AM

Damn, I wouldn't know where to start listing a "Top 5".

So I'm going to go with the Top five based on my reaction to them (positive or negative).

1. Sting (positive)
2. Rick Rude (negative)
3. Ric Flair (negative)
4. The Undertaker (positive)
5. Shawn Michaels (negative)

Those were the ones that I loved seeing on the screen or loathed to hear open their mouths.

1/3/2009 11:33:30 AM

sting is always #1

but

1/3/2009 2:23:25 PM

no Rey Mysterio Jr.?!? His athletic ability is a step above anyone and his huricanrana is the sickest finishing move in the biz.

1/3/2009 3:02:23 PM

please tell me you're joking about the hurricanrana being a good move. PLEASE!!
