Top 25 wrestlers of all time

[Armpit_licker]

Tron, if you read correctly you would of seen I said this was posted by TND production manager and a long time wrestling fan.... I was curious on what people thought of his list and how there own list compared...

And I Maintain..

Since you posted it you were obligated to research it better than he did.

I can't stand it when people try to pass off wrestlers as athletes, and that writer was using a cheap ploy to do so.

Also, another mistake was made. If Williams was ever an All American Wrestler I can't find it.

Wanna see something funny? Go to Saginaw, where the Steiners are from and look at their pictures post steroids. They were So So high school wrestlers.

OK, guys, take your corners and come out all snuggly.

No? Fine. Then, let's just agree to disagree on this point and let the thread get back to it's original focus. Consider it a belated Christmas present to your friendly neighborhood mods. 😛

You said it, NT...

I personally do not agree with a lot of people on this list, and there are lots missing off it

Where are the pioneers of rasslin', names like Pat Patterson and Moondog Mane oughta be on here wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before some of these upstarts and johnny-come-latelys.

Pat Patterson as a wrestler was before my time, though I enjoyed him as one of Vinnie Mac's "stooges". Around this time, Pat did something that was just so.....awful. I think he tried to do Rikishi's stinkface on someone, pulled his pants down, and there was a skid mark on his underware! The best part was J.R. refering to him as "Ol' Poop-Stain Patterson"!

Alot of the lists cater to the more recent wrestlers.
I have a history of picking up Wrestling,then drifting away for awhile,then coming back.
It started in the late 60's/early '70 thanks to my Grandfather watching it and exposing me to it.
Names like Dommenic Denucci,The Love Brothers,Chris "The Golden Greek" Tolos,Crazy Luke Graham,Pompero Firpo,The Sheik,The Mighty Igor,Wild Bull Currey,King Kurtis,and Louis Martinez predominated.
I had several wrestlers living in my hometown! They were Beautiful Bruce Swayze, Eric Hansen (aka Eric The Red),Hartford Love (Brother),and "Maddog" "Dutch" Momberg.I delivered the town paper to Adullah The Butcher for a brief time!!!
Out of that era came what I belief was the most vicious Wrestler I ever saw: "Waldo Von Erich" .The German thing was still a big thing back then,much like what U.S.A./Iran was to the Iron Shiek & Sargent Slaughter.Von Erich attacked Italians "Dennucci" and Americans (Ernie "The cat" Ladd).He hated everyone!
Then I abandoned Wrestling for awhile and came back in the late '70s to see a young Roddy Piper wrestle.I also liked The Magnificent Morocco and his battles with Snuka for the Intercontinental Belt.
I left for a short time and came back around the 1st Wrestlemania.
I hung around through the late 80's-left- and came back for the Stone Cold Era.
Now I just watch Monday Night Raw and that's it.It's good,but not great at the moment.

So if I had to pick wrestler out for merits of greatness,I'd say they would be:

1.Waldo Von Erich
2.The Magnificent Morocco
3.Bruno Sanmartino
4.Paul Orndorff
5.Bob Orton
6.Dick "The Bulldog" Brower
7.Chris Tolos
8.Stone Cold Steve Austin
9.Roddy Roddy Piper
10.Jesse Ventura
11.Ric Flair
12.Blackjack Mulligan
13.Eric the Red (deceased)
14.The Sheik (original -deceased)
15.Pompero Firpo
16.Superstar Graham
17.Johnny Valentine
18.Greg Valentine
19.Gene Kiniski
20.The Love Brothers (Hartford and Reginald)
21.William Regal
22.Whipper Billy Watson
23.The Rock
24.HHH
25.Crazy Luke Graham
