Curiosity: My own wrestling poll

[printdust]

There may be some left out but I doubt any of those would rank in the top five.

Anyhow, enjoy.

 

[Claws for Concern]

I guess this is trying to be a sidebar thread separate of the long-running pro wrestling thread that already exists, but I'll play along anyway.

If I'm allowed to include the deceased, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Rick Rude and Curt Hennig would all be on a list of my top 5 favorites along with my ultimate favorite, Baron Von Raschke (who is still alive, but retired).

If I have to go current, give me Shelton Benjamin, CM Punk, RVD, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

Without Kurt Angle, this is not a wrestling poll. It is a WWE poll.

 

[hockeybeat]

This is a WWE only poll.

When I watched, my favorites were RVD, Punk, Daniels and Joe.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

I would vote for Flair, the greatest of all-time, but he's ancient history. It's hard to watch a legend like him try to wrestle at his age. His boobs seriously need hidden.

That said, I voted for my son's favorite: Rey Rey. I enjoy watching his moves.

Most of the guys on your list are absolutely awful.

Are you ****ing kidding me here? You put BROCK FREAKIN' LESNAR on this list, but exclude THE ROCK, THE UNDERTAKER, STING, BRET HART and SHAWN MICHAELS? You have to be out of your mind. Other notables that you left off: Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, Jerry Lawler, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Bruno Sammartino, ...

My favorite wrestlers actually knew how to WRESTLE.

Andre should have been on the list. I grew up in the midwest, watching NWA Central States. Was never a WWWF fan and am surely not a WWE fan.

Most of the names on your list absolutely sucked as workers. Michaels is the second-biggest asshole in wrestling, right behind his best friend, HHH. Undertaker and Sting? Don't make me laugh. Studd? Lawler? Ha!

 

[Orange Hat Bobcat]

My favorite pro wrestler will always be Shawn Michaels ... followed him on and off since 1990 and have always enjoyed watching him perform ...

Are you seriously suggesting that Bret Hart didn't know how to wrestle?
