the Dark Knight · 01-06-2005, 09:10 AM

Bret Hart
Owen Hart
Chris Benoit
Kurt Angle
Dusty Rhodes
Brutus the Barber Beefcake (whom I've met)
Doink the Clown
Jerry Lawler
Mick Foley
Andy Kaufman (former inter-gender champ, mind you!)

Hey, while I'm at it, my fav managers of all time!

1. Bobby "the Brain" Heenan
2. Hanz Roddy
3. the Slickster
4. Jimmy Hart
5. Classy Freddie Blassie

Hart Foundation, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Undertaker, Eddie Guererro, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Hulk Hogan, Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Mick Foley, Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Bushwackers. Those are pretty much my favourites that I can think of. I was a major Hulkamania and Hacksaw and Bushwackers fan when I was a kid.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-06-2005, 12:24 PM

The Hulkster, La Parka, and the Sandman.

*KROW* · 01-06-2005, 01:20 PM

My Top 10, in order from most-loved on down, and which has probably changed from the last list I posted (which was on SK), are as follows:

-- Bret Hart
-- Macho Man Randy Savage
-- The Undertaker
-- Kurt Angle
-- Steve Austin
-- La Parka
-- The Rock
-- Brian Pillman
-- Hayabusa
-- Funaki

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is my all time favourite. Some others are Rob Van Dam, AJ Styles, Owen Hart, Randy Orton, Road Dogg, Christian, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Chris Jericho, and Mick Foley. Of course I like a ton of others, but those are all my big favs.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-06-2005, 11:21 PM

Hulk Hogan is the man, and always will be. I'm old school, yo.

Wingnut · 01-12-2005, 10:25 AM

Doink and Dink

j/k

**azure turtle** · 01-12-2005, 01:25 PM

LOL! I should add Dink to my favorite managers list.

*raphael_is_cool* · 01-12-2005, 02:08 PM

The Ultimate Warrior, Bret The Hitman Hart (was he really a famous contract killer?

hehe) and Matt Hardy

Haven't seen wrestling in years and years now

*Dane E5R* · 01-12-2005, 10:35 PM

X-Pac is my all time favorite.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-12-2005, 11:47 PM

Tatonka. That weird indian character the WWF had back in.... well, it was a LONG time ago.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-13-2005, 12:21 AM

I miss the old school WWF. Things were stupid and fun back then.

I remember Tatanka. He was undefeated until that weird Finnish wrestler Ludvig Borga pinned him with one finger. He fought "The Model" Rick Martel once just to get back his "sacred eagle feathers" and later sold his reservation to Ted Dibiase.

Yes, TMB, the WWF was awesomely stupid and fun back then.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-13-2005, 01:40 PM

Yep... I mean, where else can you see a sumo wrestle a stereotypical native american?

*KROW* · 01-13-2005, 02:16 PM

The same place where you can see enormously muscle-bound men with painted faces wearing bright red shoulder pads with black spikes.

*XERO* · 01-13-2005, 02:41 PM

Plus, they spew green mist out their mouths.

Lovely.

*JameO* · 01-13-2005, 02:43 PM

Oh come on now Tajiri is awesome!

*KROW* · 01-13-2005, 02:46 PM

Tajiri wasn't the first to use the green mist. There was The Great Muta and the friggin' awful Kwang, who was really Savio Vega in a different gimmick.

*XERO* · 01-13-2005, 02:58 PM

I loved it when Diesel eliminated Kwang at the '94 Royal Rumble.
