TOP TEN LIST: FAVORITE WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME
I'm going to start off my Top Ten Lists with something that I loved watching as a kid. WRESTLING!!! I was a child of the 80's so most of these guys are from that era with a few others from the wrestling boom in the mid to late 90's. My list is kinda biased towards the WWF cause I didn't really watch WCW or ECW. Expect a lot more weird blogs like this from me in the future cause I'll be blogging about whatever comes to mind. Feel free to comment back with your list. Enjoy!
10. Bret "The Hitman" Hart -
Even though he wore pink and always came out BEFORE the fight soaking wet, for some odd reason, I always wished that I could be that kid in the crowd that he gave his pink plastic shades to...but it never happened.
9. "HHH" Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Yes, that's was his original name. Hunter Hearst Helmsley the Connecticut Blueblood. He was a wealthy sophisticate from Connecticut who gave proper etiquitte lessons. I'll pause for laughter.....hahahah......Ok, That was probably one of the worst wrestling personas ever created. Despite that he has one of the best entrances in the game (seen in the picture) and he's banging the bosses daughter, Stephanie McMahon. So, he can do whatever he wants. Talk about a Cerebral Assasin.
8. Randy "Macho Man" Savage
OOOOOOOOOO, YEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! ..... SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!!! It was weird how he used to stand on his tippie toes and wiggle his fingers in his interviews. But he was always a good interview and his flying elbowdrop from the top turnbuckle looked like one of the most devastating moves ever. Plus, he probably made the best wrestler in a movie cameo for his part in Spiderman. "Arrrrre yooooou reeeaaaady? Bonesaw is reeeaaaaadddyyy!!!"
7. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig
Dude...when he would spit his gum out and slap it with his hand?!? I mean c'mon!!! Do you remember when Mr. Perfect first came to the WWF? They showed all thses promos of him being the greatest athlete. He was Bowling and he bowled a 300, they showed him hitting 3-point shots backwards, he was playing pool and he ran the table and the best one was...well you have to see it for yourself....
I mean c'mon!!! He caught his own Hail Mary pass....all I can say is that thats........PERFECT!
R.I.P Mr. Perfect
6. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
My single favorite wrestling move ever, is the DDT. Even though I have no idea what DDT really means?!? To this day, if I ever get into a real fight the first thing I'll try to do is a DDT. Why? Cause that fucking move is real!!! Do you remember when he put a snake in Macho Man and Miss Elizabeths wedding gifts?!? or when he tore the tights right off of Ravishing Rick Rudes legs and made him run off naked. There was just something about him and his snake Damien that was crazy. Its sad to see that hes down in the dumps right now. If you watched the movie "Beyond The Mat" it shows him deep into drugs and working small house shows around the country.
5. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
"Everybody has a price, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA." His entrance music was him laughing ominously...hahahaha. This fucking guy was the SHIT!!!! When he couldn't win a WWF belt he said fuck a WWF belt, and he had his own Million Dollar Belt made. The guy had his own fucking personal butler named Virgil and he was black?!? This fucking guy made owning a black slave acceptable on national T.V. hahaha and he was part of one of the worst/best tag teams ever.... Worst cause his partner was I.R.S. / Best cause their name was Money,INC. ....C,MON!!!
4. Hulk Hogan
You can't be a wrestling fan and not love Hulk Hogan. You just can't. It would be un-American. I remember when I was a kid and his entrance music would come on...... I would get goosebumps just knowing that he was coming to the ring. The only gripe that I have with Hogan and the reason why he's not higher on the list, is that his only notable moves are the clothesline, gorilla press slam (the one he got Andre The Giant with) and the leg drop. For one of the greatest wrestlers of all time his finishing move is a freakin LEG DROP?!?!? But overall his Hulkamania still lives on.... he's still relevant in today's wrestling and that speaks volumes for his legacy.
3. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Does anyone remember him coming in as "The Ringmaster" and being Ted DiBiase's protege and being one of only 3 people to hold the prestigious Million Dollar Belt. The other being Ted DiBiase and Virgil. The reason I liked him so much was cause he was just a regular guy but he was doing all the things that regular guys only dreamed of. He drank beer ferociously, cussed every other word and beat the shit out of his boss. Plain and simple he was a BADASS MOTHER FUCKER!!! He was a beer drinking, middle finger pointing, boss hating, Stone Cold Stunning, redneck son of a bitch. AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE...........CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO.
2. Ric Flair
For as old and flabby and out of shape he is its always fun to watch Naitch wrestle. Cuse hes the Limousine ridin', jet flying, kiss stealin', wheelin' dealing, son of a gun WOOO!
The Nature Boy WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The Dirtiest Player in The Game! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
To be the man, WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You gotta beat the man, WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some of the funny things that Ric Flair does:
1. The "Flair Flop," where after being pummeled (usually in the corner), he will confidently stride out and look to have regained his composure, only to flop flat on his face.
2. Offering to shake his opponent's hand before the match begins. Just before his opponent grabs his hand, he'll pull back, strut, & then say, "Woo!"
3.After being floored to the mat, holds his hands up whilst kneeling down submissively and begs his opponent not to strike him (often yelling "Nooo!" in the process); thus catching them off-guard, and usually then resulting in a low blow or a thumb to the eyes.
4. Being thrown towards the turnbuckle, flipping over the top rope and landing on the apron. Who does that?!?
5. Asking the referee to check the time, and low-blowing or otherwise cheating while the referee had his back turned. This back when matches had time limits, something that generally does not occur anymore.
Just classic stuff. I hear that Ric has just recently retired. Finally.
1. The Rock
What can I say about THE ROCK?!? If I could grow out my sideburns, get a Samoan tatto covering my arm, talk shit like him and wear Prada glasses like him I would. I already got the eyebrow thing down. The Rock was probably the single most charasmatic person to grace the mic. Having the charisma and the wrestling skills that he had was the total package. From his early days as Rocky Maivia to his time as the leader of the N.O.D. Nation Of Domination you knew he was going to be a star. So when he grabbed that mic and said one word, "FINALLY!" you knew you were going to be entertained.
There are so many other Videos on YouTube with The Rock.... but I cant find them all. Here's one I did find.....IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL......WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!!!!!
Honorable Mentions: Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, The Undertaker (Original), The Rockers, Shawn Michaels, The Demolition, Road Warriors AKA Legion Of Doom, Sgt. Slaughter, "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Ravishing Rick Rude, .

How is it possible that The Ultimate Warrior is NOT on this list? C'mon now. Nobody ever ran to the ring like him. And who wouldn't get all pumped up with that entrance song. I felt like running every time i heard it too.
