Thank you for the warm welcome, guys.
Oh man, if i had to pick MY top 5 wrestlers of all time, in no particular order i guess would be:
Flair ( I grew up watching him in his prime. He was the MAN. Woooooooooo! He basically fought everyone from Kerry Von Eric to Rocky King and had great matches. I dont think i ever recall him actually climbing to the top rope and not being pressed slammed, despite how many times he begged and pleaded for his opponent not to.. My favorite NWA/WCW . I always enjoyed seeing him double cross sting, too. let's never speak of the black scorpion angle, though...)
Austin( real ass stone cold steve austin was the baddest man on the planet earth. He was the MAN. No one was on his level. Maybe the Rock Still laugh outloud when i think about Doink spraying him with silly string and austin just goes ham on him, at the Slammys. I had the austin 316 shirt and wore it proudly! My grandmother did not like him because he did have a potty mouth, but a teenage savage dragon told her that was just too dag gone bad and that's the botton line, son )
Sabu(This guy was doing moonsaults onto tables and busting out frankensteiners and just doing the craziest shit and was a true innovator. A little teenage acne faced savagae dragon was completely marking out when i saw this guy on tv for the first time. He looked cool too, in black and white pictures in pro wrestling illustrated. He tended to botch moves alot but a sabu match, in it's heyday, was always a match you never knew what was going to happen or what he was going to do. )
Big Van Vader - This guy , in his prime, was on another level. Unlike most monster heels of the time,he was on another level. this guy would just beat the absolute shit out of people and no disrespect to sid, had the best power bomb finisher ever. He literally had his eye ball popped out by stan hansen and put it back inside his socket! He beat the shit out of sting and foley, dustin rhodes, and destroyed jobbers on wcw saturday night with ease. Despite wearing a jock strap on his face, big van vadar was the MAN.
Bryan Danielson- At one time, Ring of Honor was so amazing. and part of that was because of him. Americn Dragon was this cocky little guy who could back it up on the ring. He was hilarious on the mic. His matches with Nigel and Morishima were brutal. He then went to WWE and became the MAN. I liked him better as a cocky asshole when he had AJ and the yes movement was in it's infancy but then he just snowballed into something even wwe creative couldnt shut down. Too bad he had to retire, but i think he will probably end up back in the indys one day.
My current favorite 5...
Naito- He should be IWGP champ. He is so cool. The real Ace of new japan. Shibata gets high mentions.
Braun- i love him. put a rocket on him and push this guy. He is a star. Too bad the big dog is going to superman punch him back down to the midcard.
Drew mcintyre- The chosen one! He impressed me so much in the indys and i have high expectations for him in nxt. I
Shlak- "death match" wrestling is not for everyone but i love this guy. Unless he dies or goes to prison, he is the future of hardcore wrestling. He will never be in the wwe or nxt or even impact, but DJ Hyde needs to push this guy already.
Ricochet- I love spotfests and high flyers. and King Ricochet is the best of them right now, in my opinion.
