Okay, since u can talk about anything in this forum I decided to star a WWE thread. My favorite wrestlers. Not in order.
Shawn Micheals, John Cena, Undertaker, Billy Gunn, Rey Mysterio, Goldberg, Rikishi, Stone Cold Steve Austin(even though he doesn't wrestle anymore. But he is co-gm of raw so), Kevin Nash, Lita, Trish Stratus, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, Kane, Brock Lesnar, and Booker T. That's as many as I'll say. Who else likes WWE and who are you're favorite wrestlers. Don't have to be in order.

I'm an old schooler, WCW is my chosen wrestling fed. And don't give me that "WCW sucked" shit, I've heard it all before. It's far better than the current state of the WWE.
Favorite wrestlers: Scott Hall, Jeff Jarrett, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Mr. Perfect (R.I.P.), and Vampiro.

I agree with u there avenger00soul. WCW is way better than wwe. I miss Scott Hall. He kicked major ass.

I miss Hall too, they made a huge mistake when they let him go. Actually they made a huge mistake when they put alot of the WCW guys on the back-burner. The only guys from WCW that have really made a name for themselves are Booker and Goldberg. They kinda made Shane Helms into a joke, they retired DDP, and they killed Kurt Hennig. Maybe I'm pushing it a little bit with that last one, but they shouldn't have fired him.

You're exactly right avenger00soul. You know who else I miss? I miss Sting. Sure they bring back Goldberg but not Sting. What the hell is wrong with them. By the way, where is Stevie Ray? He and Booker T were a great tag team.

Sting is currently with NWA (Jarrett's promotion). They run a PPV every week and their wrestling is the BEST I have ever seen. I miss Stevie Ray too, he was a helluva funny commentator.

I think his injury is too damaging for him to wrestle again. The NWA PPV's are great though. The X-division (cruiserweight) guys are completely awesome. They make Rey Mysterio look like an amateur.

As a matter of fact, Styles is fighting Sting during their big PPV coming up soon. Other matches include Vampire vs. Raven in a "Clockwork Orange House of Pain match???" and The Hulkster vs. Jarrett for the title. Hopefully I'll be watching that one.

Hogan recently signed for one PPV. I don't know if he'll be on there often or if it's a one time deal. And thank god Sting did turn down the WWE's offers, they would have ruined him too.

Avenger00soul is exactly right. If Sting did come to the wwe they would have ruined him. They ruined Goldberg. His matches are boring. Now if Goldberg just would of went with NWA-TNA he would be watchable. I have to order the NWA-TNA ppv because hogan is wrestling. Hogan was awesome.:D One thing before I end this post.

well im gonna have to go a little more old-school on ya here and say my favorite wrestler would be the original undertaker. back when he first came out and could draw power from the urn. purple eyeliner and stuff. but to even get a little more old-school do any of you remember the great kubuke. i think thats how you spell his name. he kicked ass back in the day. spit green stuff out of his mouth. i think he was supposed to be mudas' father.

Hall was fired because he is a drunk and kept screwing up. I like Hall, but from all I've heard about him, I would have fired his ass as well.
And no love for The Midnight Express? They are easily the greatest tag team in the history of wrestling. Sweet Stan and Beautiful Bobby!
My favorite singles wrestler of all time is HBK. He pretty much sucks now, but he was the shit earlier in his career. HBK and HHH were awesome when in DX. That was the pinnacle of HBK's career. It is a shame both of them are shells of their former selves.

I don't think it was just the stuff on the plane that got him fired. Just after he signed a contract with the WWF, he was backstage drunk. That's not a very good first impression. If I would have had another chance in the WWF, after all his screwing up (couple of arrests, drug use, alcohol abuse), I wouldn't come near any alcohol, let alone on my 1st day back.
As for wrestling today: I can only watch Smackdown here, so my favourites from that show are John Cena, Matt Hardy (although he's gone now) and Eddie Guerrero. Now here's a guy who the WWF hasn't ruined. After he got fired, he showed that he cleaned up his life, and after he came back, it's been a rollercoaster for him. He's a great wrestler and can cut hilarious promo's!

Agreed. The Eddie Guerrero/RVD ladder match was the best match I've seen in the WWF in YEARS!!! Too bad they split those guys up.
As for the Hall situation. Hall will be Hall. I wouldn't have it any other way. As for the good impression thing, do you think he really cares? I'm sure he's a filthy rich bastard anyway.

You have a good point, but I was hardcore WCW when Austin emerged. So I hate the current WWE that he is largely responsible for. Also, there are a ton of other guys who have made an impact, not just Hogan and Austin.
I love Hogan though, cuz he only has like 4 moves and he's managed to stay around forever. That's a damn accomplishment.

I think Hogan will be remembered as the greatest of all time. You're right when you say he can't wrestle, but he makes that up with tons of charisma. I think Roddy Piper is also a great one. Not a real good wrestler, but there's hardly anybody better on the microphone. He did mainevent the first Wrestlemania and also the 'War to settle the score' on MTV in 1985 (against Hogan) which made it possible that Wrestlemania came into existence. Speaking of Piper, You should check out his book 'in the pit with Piper'. It's a really good read!

I will always love Piper simply b/c of They Live. But you are right, he was crazy on the mic. No one was as animated as him, well maybe Flair. I haven't read any of the wrestling books yet. I'm waiting for one of the Vince's to write one. That would a particularly juicy read.

I have one thing to say. Two more days till Survivor Series. It's probably not going to be as good as No Mercy 2003. I don't think any wwe pay per view will beat that one. But Survivor Series does have quite some good matches. Like Undertaker vs Mr. McMahon in a buried alive match, shane mcmahon vs kane in an ambulance match, the two survivor series style tag team matches and that's all I'm looking forward to. I just can't wait to see mr. mcmahon get buried alive. the only problem is that they will get him out after the match. in my opinion they should just leave him down there.

avenger,
Hall has a LONG history of being drunk and screwing things up. Once he started to fall back into that habit, they fired him. I have a feeling Hall was warned upon being rehired that he was on a short leash. He isn't treated the same as other wrestlers without a history of screwing up.
D'lo covered the issue well. He was fired for more than just the plane incident.
As for Hogan, he has always fucking sucked. I was one of the few that hated him in the 80s when I was a kid. My God he always bored me to death. Although, I did love the Ultimate Warrior. He was almost as bad as Hogan in the ring. lol

I know all of this, that's what makes him so great is that he's completely unpredictable. I don't think his drunkeness ever screwed anything up, hell, they made a good angle out of it even.
He was fired because of a clause in his contract that said if he was caught drinking he was out. He drank during the plane incident and was fired. Tons of other crazy shit happened and Hall falls asleep and he's fired. What the hell? Hennig was also fired after that I believe. Those guys were two of my favorites and they let them both go. Bastards.

Wasn't it WCW that made an angle out of it and not the WWF?
Also, we don't know the whole story. I know he had a history of not making meetings because of his alcohol problems. If you had an employee that did things like that and wasn't essential to your business, you'd fire him to. I don't blame Vince for that; however, I do blame him for putting his roided ass and his ugly daughter on TV all the damn time. They're both useless. At least Shane can do physical things to add to the show. Then again, I have pretty much stopped watching the WWF since they fucked up the ECW/WCW angle. THe company has become shit without competition to push it IMO.

It was WCW, the angle was Hall vs. Nash. I loved WCW and will always miss it.:( I think Hall was essential for the business though, I mean they pretty much disbanded the newly reformed NWO after they fired him. Big mistake.

From what you posted a minute ago. Just hoping you didn't really think, in what I like to call real life, that Austin could take two huge dudes.
By the way, who do you think the toughest wrestler would be in real life? I mean if they ever did get into a huge brawl who would come out on top?
My vote is probably Sean O'haire or Goldberg...maybe even Angle.

BWAAAAAAAAAAA! Even as an announcer, Taz would still beat the shit out of Goldberg in a real fight!
Sorry guys, but Kurt Angle would beat the shit out of just about anyone in the WWF right now. As could Brock (whatever his name is).
My lord, I guarantee you Nash would whip Goldberg's ass in a real fight. Goldberg got his ass kicked a couple times in practice by Falcon players. He is all image compared to true bad asses LMFAO!
Saturn would have beat the hell out of Goldberg if given a chance. Look up the wrestlers martial arts history and you'd be surprised on many of them.

And why did you say "sorry guys" about Angle? We both agree on that.:confused:

1. What does sparring have to do regarding is someone is a better fake wrestler?
2. You gave Angle as a third choice, as I saw it. Angle would beat the hell out of Goldberg with ease. Ask the Giant about going one-on-one with Brock and Angle. I could keep on going regarding this. ;)
3. Tough Man doesn't mean jack. I've beaten up guys that have won matches in that, and gotten my ass kicked by others that never fought in it. That only considers your HANDS in a fight. If you mean a pure boxing match, then Angle wouldn't beat many guys in the WWF. I assumed you meant pure fighting ability.

1. I stated HBK was a wuss in real life. Go read my response. I then threw in that although he is a big pussy, he is still one of the top two pro wrestlers (both are wusses in real life) I've ever seen. You then replied questioning my statement regarding Shawn. I never said Shawn could beat ass in real life. ;)
2. Do that. :p
3. Yes, I do like arguing lol. However, being in tough man contests don't mean much. That is basically non-skilled boxing contests. That doesn't factor into real life fighting (like I assumed was the original question). When you take away your legs and any holds, that takes away most true fighting. That was my only response to that issue. I wasn't trying to pump up the fact I've beaten up some tough man contestents (lord knows I wouldn't admit non-tough men have beat me in fights lol).

You're completely not understanding me. I just wanted to know what information you were basing your story on that HBK is such a pussy? Now I want to know why Flair is such a "real life" pussy too? I know you never said Shawn could beat ass in real life, I never questioned that either. I just questioned why you think he's such a pussy. MichaelMyers suggested he might be a pussy and you said "yes, he is." like you knew the guy. I questioned why you said that, what do you know about the guy that makes him such a real life wuss? Just alot of miscommunication going on.

One more thing: I used the tough man thing generically. I didn't mean just boxing matches. O’Haire has gone undefeated in shootfighting tournaments, kickboxing and boxing matches. I should have specified that. I think he is a certifiable badass.

Ah okay. Damn the Internet. It always creates miscommunication! lol
1. HBK has never been known as a tough guy in real life. Nash, and others, have saved his ass in documented fights in the industry when fights occur in bars. I love Shawn more than any wrestler (before his new version) ever, but he isn't exactly a bad ass.
2. Flair had to be saved in fights regarding jealous competitors many times in the NWA and early WCW. He'll never be confused with a true bad ass real life fighter in the industry.
3. This whole "wuss" verse "bad ass fighter" definition really depends on our measuring stick. Perhaps we should clarify that before sticking wrestlers into certain categories. I was using certain wrestlers against others in the industry. If we mean them in all out fights against regular people like us, or against the regular Joe in tough man contests, that is a much lower standard than in the league of most other wrestlers and true real life bad asses that compete in world martial arts competitions.

O'Haire looks like a bad ass, but I've never heard anything regarding him in real life fights. Over the years, I've noticed looks can be deceiving. In ECW you wouldn't believe who was the biggest bad ass in the ENTIRE organization. It was Tommy Rich (think that was his FBI name). He was in the FBI and had curly hair. He looks like a pussy, but he beat the shit out of any ECW fighter that messed with him, and when he was in the WWF and WCW (long before ECW) he beat the hell out of several wrestlers. I would have never guessed him as a bad ass, but even Taz and Saturn would stay away from him when he was drunk in ECW. Now THAT is some "bad ass" respect. :eek:

I'd like to say something regarding Austin kicking Nash and Hall's ass at Wrestlemaini X8.
1. It's not real.
2. Austin may have won the match but he got his ass kicked badly. He was acting like such a pussy in that match it isn't funny.
That is all. Oh, I would also like to say that Mark henry annoys me. They say he's the world's strongest man. Sure maybe he won the competition one year but thats one fuckin year. men win that thing every year. So he can't say he's the world's strondest man.

Yeah, that is probably a good thing. Although, I'm sure he was used to it. The sad thing is, judging by his looks, that would be a wrestler I'd talk shit to. As it turns out, that would be one of the last wrestlers I'd want to do that to. Thank God I was never drunk and in that position. I wouldn't have fared too well against that guy. :(
"One more thing: I used the tough man thing generically. I didn't mean just boxing matches. O’Haire has gone undefeated in shootfighting tournaments, kickboxing and boxing matches. I should have specified that. I think he is a certifiable badass."
Okay, I went back and found that quote. I have no idea about any of O'Haire's fighting background. If he has been in many shootfighting tournaments and done that, I wouldn't want to piss off that roided up beast! lol

Well judging from the huge-ass conversation myself and NirvanaNole had :D I would just say answer with who you think is a total badass (fighting ability and intelligence, and tolerance of pain and determination...and whatever else makes a good fighter).

Yes, wrestling has no past. Once upon a time he was burned over 90% of his body and he couldn't talk. Now he appears to be just fine and can talk all he wants too. Anyone remember when X-Pac just took that stupid voice box thing from him and said you don't need that anymore and then Kane could talk just fine? WTF?? Funny as hell.

damien,
Did you ever see Austin wrestle as Stunning Steve in WCW (think it was also still NWA when he first started wrestling there)? He was a great wrestler before injuries. He could pull off just about any wrestling move that did not involve high flying.
I noticed you only listed (with the possible exception of Steamboat) guys that can do incredible high impact physical acts, but most (again, with the exception of Steamboat) have no idea how to work the psychology side of a match.
Flair was the greatest wrestler of all time because he could work the psychology side and the pace of the match better than anyone else that has ever lived. This also applies to HBK when he was easily the best North American wrestler in the 90s. This is where Austin now excels. No one in the business can work the psychology side of a match like Austin. THAT, my friend, is wrestling.
There is more to wrestling than just performing gymnastics with another person like Van Damn does. Van Damn wouldn't know how to work the mental aspect of a match even if Flair spent a year personally trying to teach him.
FreddyFan
11-27-2003, 05:55 AM

I see you have little regard for ring psychology, damien. You might as well just watch gymnastics with some of the wrestlers you listed. It appears obvious that you equate high flying moves as what a wrestler should be, and do not take into account how that wrestler can work a match. There is not a wrestler alive that can pace a match better than Austin, nor use ring psychology like he can.
Perhaps you should see interviews of what Flair, HBK, and Bret Hart think of Austin. They've all stated he is as good as any wrestler within the last 10 years when it comes to wrestling a complete match. You do not have to perform a high impact move from the top rope in order to wrestle a great match. But then again, perhaps those three wouldn't qualify as "any serious fan" in your book.

damien,
That's fine if you prefer high flying wrestlers, but I think you should be able to admit other styles of wrestling. There are many different areas a wrestler can be skilled at and be a good performer in the ring. Would you consider Flair, HBK, Hart, etc., good wrestlers? None of them are high flyers, but all of them know how to work a match. Same with Foley. He may be none for doing insane things, but he also knew how to work a match with the best of them.
But you're right, Austin's physical abilities aren't that great anymore. He was never a high flyer, but he used to be able to do any ground oriented move in wrestling when he was younger. Him and Pillman were amazing as a team. Unfortunately both had serious injuries and had to change their style. I think that forced both of them to develop their mic skills and ring psychology. They, and HBK/Flair, are probably my four favorite wrestlers of all time.
For the record, I do like Van Damn, Rey, etc., but none of them can work the emotional side of a match like Austin. I enjoy their matches for what they are, incredible physical acts that few men can do.
Also, I've hated Hogan with a passion since I was a little kid. We can agree on that point. Oddly, I used to love the Ultimate Warrior and he was only a tad better than Hogan in the ring lol.

You're commenting on his interviews and not his actual matches. How many PPV matches have you seen of Austin over the years? If you think his matches are purely what you described, then you're letting your personal feelings on him cloud your judgment. The man sells moves better than anyone you listed (even including Steamboat in his prime).
Seriously, go rent the Wrestlemania he lost to Bret Hart when he passed out. If you can watch that match and still think all he does is what you just mentioned, you're nuts, Damien. ;)
You have to remember Austin needs to have a decent opponent to have a chance at a great match. He hasn't exactly been able to wrestle a good wrestler recently.
On another note, what do you think of Chris Benoit? He can't do many high risk moves, so I'm curious to see your opinion on him. Is he a better wrestler than RVD?

I like Benoit. he's a pretty good wrestler. I can't say if he is better than RVD. they had a terrific match at summerslam. to bad they're on different brands.

ok maybe i should have been a little more clear on my statement. in the past couple of year's austin suck's. yes that mania match against hart was classic. i do like benoit but i don't like him any better then i like rvd.

IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WRESTLING OR FOOTBALL I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THE WRESTLING INSIDE OF THE MATCH IS REAL BUT AS FOR WHO WINS AND WHO GETS TITLES IT'S ALL SCRIPTED.
AND BACK TO YOUR HIGH FLYING ARGUEMENT WHICH IMO IS RETARDED CAUSE JUST CAUSE SOMEONE DOES'NT RUN UP THE ROPES ALL DAY DOES'NT MEAN HE CAN'T WRESTLE PERFECT EXAMPLE RIC FLAIR WHAT'S IT BEEN ALMOST 30 YEARS HE'S BEEN WRESTLING AND NOT ONCE HAS HE HIT A ''HIGH RISK MANUVER'' WATCH RAW AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERYTIME HE GETS UP ON THE ROPES EITHER KING OR JR MENTION IT.

I used to play the hell out of that game. My fav. wrestling game ever was No Mercy. I know it was a WWF game, but I created damn near every WCW wrestler that was around at the time. I even made a kick-ass Fit Finlay.:D

I know. No Mercy is a great game. one time me and my friend were playing it and the funniest thing happened. i was big boss man and he was stone cold. i was laying on the floor. he goes to the top rope and does an elbow drop and hits me right in the nuts and picks up the win. it was hilarious. the funny thing is is when I got hit I started flipping out like crazy. hilarious.

Oh I know. His neck injury resurfaced during the "stunt" and was told to tone it down.
I used to help put the rings together at Nassau Colleseum on Long Island New York before I moved to Florida, so I try to keep up on the behind the scenes part.
