Malfatron Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Since pro wrestling is more of an entertainment thing rather than a sport, i place it here. I used to watch WWF/WWE back in the era between 1992-1996, and then fell in love with ECW between 1996-1998 Ive recently been catching up a little bit on old matches, and even caught a recent wrestling show My question to you all, is who are your favorite pro wrestlers and why? Mine are 1. Chris Jericho. I never saw his matches live, but hes really good in the ring and really hilarious on the mic. Its weird that my new favorite is someone i never saw live, but its just so perfect. The "man of 1004 holds" bit was brilliant and the you made the list gimmick. I look forward to going back and following more of his rivalries and big matches 2. Shawn Micheals. Adapted himself well between the new gen era and attitude era. Excellent in ring and on mic and the king of taking bumps. 3. Raven. I really enjoyed the character he crafted in the ECW days. He really commited to his role. 4. Sabu. Loved him in the ECW days. Blew my mind at the time with the moves he did (moonsaults through tables and stuff), especially coming off watching WWF where none of that kind of stuff was done yet. 5. Owen Hart. He really nailed it as a petty heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I don't know current as well, but I've been a Dolph Ziggler fan for a long time. Kofi Kingston too for the more current guys. As a kid, my first favorite wrestler ever was Lex Luger. Had the look, and I thought the torture rack was amazing (lol). Sting, SCSA, Taker, Macho Man, and Razor Ramon among the 90s-ish era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The Undertaker Jon Moxley Kenny Omega Becky Lynch Randy Orton Those are my big 5. After that you get into guys like HBK, Goldberg, MJF, Naito, Adam Cole, AJ Lee, Alexa Bliss, Kairi, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Showing my age here, and I haven't watched any since my kids stopped watching, so there's another age reveal, but here goes 1. Ric Flair The nature boy was always fun to follow, early on with Roddy Piper, then as a heel to Dusty Rhodes. 2. Arn Anderson. Great technician, and the enforcer of the early versions of the Four Horseman after he replaced uncle Gene Anderson. 3. Chris Benoit Unrtil his ugly demise, he was the epitomy of what the Four Horsemen were like and brought it to the ring in the battles with the NWO (which I hated with a passion). 4. Dean Malenko Throw him with benoit and mayhem ensued. 5. Rey Mysterio (the original one). I wasn't a fan, but watching the athleticism he brought was amazing, which allowed many more doors to open for Lucha Libre wrestlers moving forward.

bigbadbuff Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Stone Cold Steve Austin is the only answer to this question. He’s the undisputed GOAT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) I think I started watching wrestling when I was 4 years old. My first "favorite" wrestler was Jake The Snake. The DDT was the Diamond Cutter/Stunner of the 80's, and Jakes promos actually made sense. If you had beef with Jake, like Honky Tonk or Rick Rude or Rick Martel or Ted DiBiase, I hated you. Stone Cold then became and remains my favorite wrestler of all time. Favorite modern active wrestler is Kevin Owens. My all-time wrestling Mount Rushmore is: Jake Roberts - Stone Cold - The Rock - Then either HBK or Flair. Current Active Wrestler Mount Rushmore: Kevin Owens - AJ Styles - Bryan Danielson - Omega Favorite under 25ish wrestler: Austin Theory Edited May 12, 2022 by Jeezla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
