After watching that I also am a big fan of Jericho.  he had probably the greatest intro to the WWF.

  • Yup
Macho Man had his charms...The Hulkster always made me giggle...Andre the Giant was just great to look at, but the only wrestler I ever truly believed in was George "The Animal" Steele (and maybe Jimmy Superfly Snooka)



Thanks for the picture Redz...takes me back to my misspent youth and the golden age of rasslin

That "chewing up the corner pads" thing he did was the best.  The bloody face got a little ridiculous at times, but George The Animal had an awesome act.
Yup

HBK in his prime years, along with brett hart.

thier fueds (pre screw job)were some of the best wresling of all time.

a close second would be a tag team, LOD.


Definitely agree.  HBK is my favorite of all time.  The original DX was one of my favorite gimmicks in wrestling so Triple H is also one of my favorites.

I was huge into the WWF in the late 90's but once they took over the WCW it turned me off and i stoped watching it. I turned it on a couple weeks ago and i had no clue who anyone was.

I gotta represent the ol' Mid-South Wrestling guys, many of whom later made a name in the WWF:

Junk Yard Dog
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Hacksaw Butch Reed
the Rock N Roll Express
the Midnight Express
Kamala the Ugandan Giant
The Missing Link
Kabuki (spitting the mysterious green powder - simply captivating as a kid)
Ted Debiase (sp?)

Loved the Von Erik's too (fighting out of Texas)...

anyone that can execute a 450 splash is ok in my book

- the tombstone is one of the best finishers of all time, and of course the sharpshooter... there's a ton - anything unique that looks like it legit hurts is awesome in my book, that's why I think Hogan was a little lame with the leg drop, though I did like the People's Elbow, more because it wasn't a finisher, more of a setup and a bragging type of move

It's like asking me to chose between kids.

I guess I'll say Rick Flair, when he was a bad guy.. If you want him to win or lose he always has people on the edge of their seat, which is crazy because his act never changed.
