Top 5 Wrestlers - Past and Present

[BillyBongOn]

I saw another WWE thread, but for all wrestling fans, what are you ALL TIME top wrestlers, they can be from any era, any organisation etc, feel free to provide a reason for your choice aswell


heres mine


1) Raven - Always been a huge fan, from ECW Hardcore TV right up to his current TNA run, puts his heart and soul into matches, and is not afraid to take the risks


2) Jeff Jarrett - The only wrestler to be totally blacklisted from WWE, for life!, founder of TNA, classic wrestler


3) Stone Cold Steve Austin - 100% attitude, nothing more than a classic gimmick


4) Edge - My current fave WWE wrestler, been a fan since his Brood days, and the TLC matches were some of my faves


5) Sabu (ECW) - Had a dissapointing run in the new ECW, but the only thing that needs to be said "Born To Be Wired 1997"... enough said!


your thoughts?

oh wait no they werent

1) Andre the Giant (The first match I ever saw had him beat 3 guys on Saturday morning in the 80's like 1985 I was hooked ever since then)

2) Hulk Hogan (Love him or hate him the Orange GOblin is professional wrestling)

3) Foley (Just because he is God)

4) Stone Cold (To this day I still wait for just an appearance)

5) Undertaker

[forspeedn21]

1. Hulk Hogan
2. The Rock
3. Stone Cold
4. Goldberg
5. Chris Jericho

[Chris PW]

1) Steve Austin - He's done so much for the business and was my favorite during the Attitude Era

2) Mr. Kennedy - It's crazy how something always seems to happen every time a big push is coming his way. The day he wins either the WWE or World title, it's going to be awesome!

3) Christopher Daniels - One of the best wrestlers in the world today, he can also do it all gimmick-wise too. From being just plain evil to the ultra charismatic CURRY MAN! Gla to see TNA using him well now.

4) Kurt Angle - He's improved as an entertainer so much since his debut in the WWE, I thought it was bad how he left WWE the way he did only to debut in TNA not too long later but it has turned out to be for the best for him.

5) Charlie Haas - Possibly the most under-rated wrestler in WWE right now. He has everything needed to be a star but lacks the support from the writers to get him up there. He can pull off any look and by the way his current gimmick is going; any gimmick too.

[DFILL450]

1.) Stone Cold
2.) The Rock
3.) Triple H
4.) Shane McMahon
5.) Kurt Angle

[Bax x360a]

1. Hulk Hogan
2. The Rock
3. Stone Cold
4. Goldberg
5. Chris Jericho
Same mate, but I'd swap Jericho with The Undertaker.

[GoWisfun]

Can't really put them in order as I like them for different reasons, so it wouldn't be fair...

Bret Hart - "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be" (My reason btw)

Sabu - Always great to watch unless you watched him in a WWE ring, alot of my favourite matches involve him.

Ric Flair - He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and should've been in it last year aswell as on the card for Wrestlemania, Always this year I guess...

Kane(Heel) - IMO I think he's pretty underrated and overlooked by the WWE and over the last few years he always seems to get pretty shitty storylines. The MVP/Kane one was alright but I can't stand MVP :s

Undertaker (Ministry of Darkness days) - Back when the WWE(WWF back then) were actually worth watching,The "Attitude Era", Don't get me wrong he's still pretty decent now but, I don't think he's as good as he was or his matches, the WM & Backlash(I think) title matches with Batista were pretty good and the one at Backlash was probably the best match the WWE had last year IMO, apart from those 2 I think the last "Decent" match I saw him in was one against Kane and the Undertaker v Undertaker at SummerSlam (Can't remember what year 94 I think) has to be one of my fav taker matches :p

Eh, thinking about it my "Reasons" could just be because I've not liked the WWE since the end of the "Attitude Era"

[jimbonoel]

1. John Cena
2. The Rock
3. Mankind
4. D-Von and Bubby Ray
5. Lita =]

[Chibi the Balla]

Wow this is a hard one. I mean I've got so many "Top 5 lists". Top 5 gimmicks, top 5 jobbers, top 5 WCW, top 5 WWF/E, top 5 indy...but just top 5 overall eh?

1. Randy Orton - Been a HUGE fan since he debuted in 2002.
2. Kurt Angle - Pre-ECW Kurt Angle...specifically before he got his head shaved in 2002.
3. Owen Hart - Greatest wrestler to never win the WWE Title.
4. Ric Flair - 16-time world champion. Possibly the greatest wrestler to ever live. Wooooooo!
5. Mr. Kennedy - Young, charismatic, you love to hate this guy.
