truth on hold Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) The Undertaker was impressive because of a guy that size having that much athleticism. Ultimate Warrior was good when he first came out because of the action hero physique and crazed super hero personality. A nice departure from goons like Hogan. Batista certainly looks cool but I'd like to see more personality/identity from him Honorable mention to Goldberg for his straight up style. IMO the least entertaining of the champions was Stone Cold Steve Austin. He wasn't athletic and his persona was boring. It also made no sense that his defiance bothered the WWE Chief McMahon since most of the wrestlers have a belligerent, defiant disposition.

plenzmd1 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Funny, just found out the American Dream passed away yesterday and was going to post here. RIP Dusty. You were great. Can tell people's age by who they post here. Old guys like trend towards the 70's and 80's guys. Some not mentioned in 70's Dominick Denucci George the Animal Steel Any body remember the Love Brothers? They were the first gay team in wrestling, even though they could never say that. The Iron Sheik Bob Orton 80's Sargent Slaughter Steamboat Honkey Tonk Man( beat steamboat in Buffalo for the Intercontinental Title) Captain Lou was cool as a manager, as was The Brain Edited June 13, 2015 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only ever watch it to hear them talk **** during the promos, I could care less what they did in the ring. So to me, Austin crushes all 4 that you mentioned before him combined.Thus my all-time favorite is obviously Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 What about Chief White Owl and his tomahawk chop? Can't forget Pampero Firpo. IIRC he was plucked off the island of Borneo. Amazing that they found him there back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 IMO, it has to go to the man that not only was an exceptional athlete, had longevity, and was a multiple-time champion, but also completely changed the ideal persona of a superstar from an entertaining wrestler to a guy that can wow fans during matches and also rock the microphone like nobody's business. The Rock, quite literally, changed the entire business of pro wrestling with his combination of ring skills and mic skills, and he still continues to transcend the industry with his occasional returns to the squared circle. He is, simply, The Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
