Weird thought I had: If WrassleGAF was ordered by The WCW/n
eoGAF
Wo Powers That Be to feature the 12 most iconic wrestling personalities over a year for its monthly threads, who would those 12 wrestling legends be? And let's pretend everyone is a swell guy so we can include Hulk Hogan, etc.

1. Hulk Hogan
2. Ric Flair
3. Andre the Giant
4. Randy Savage
5. Legion of Doom/Road Warriors (tag teams count as one, dude)
6. The Rock
7. Steve Austin
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

I feel like those are givens. Who am I missing? I'd definitely vote for some non-wrestlers such as Heenan, but others may scoff.

Edit: Sting and Cena would probably be on there, yeah?

Taker for sure.

Cena, Taker, Bork, Sting, and Bret? Maybe Goldberg

Issue is "iconic wrestlers" change depending what part of the globe you're on.

Oh yeah. Not really a fan, but he's a must.

Iconic today, or iconic in their own time? Because a guy like Gorgeous George was a real cultural icon in his heyday, while someone like Big Daddy was a household name in the UK, yet unknown by American fans. I'd probably add;

. Rikidozan
. Giant Baba
. Antonio Inoki
. The Destroyer
. Terry Funk
. Jumbo Tsuruta

Not 'merica enough. You may pick one Japanese wrestler. One!

Bret and Shawn are questionable. But maybe. Maybe!

Psshh. You guys know it'd have to be WWE-centric.

If you're going to put LOD in there then you may as well put Nash and Hall as they were more iconic than LOD in every way. LOD had a short shelf life.

For their time Road Warriors were way more over than those guys by several magnitudes. But...yeah could argue whether they'd be considered one of the 12 most iconic.

That's a decent list, although I don't think TNA legend Great Muta belongs on that list. If you really want someone from TNA, put Kurd Tangle

Fools, I corrected myself and said Cena!

Ultimate Warrior is an interesting one. As always.

I was trying to choose between Warrior or Muta. Between those two the decision is easy for me. Especially considering body of work and length of reign.

Funniest shit in the entire Trainwreck movie was John Cena sex scene. Not that the other stuff wasn't humorous, but I literally burst out laughing....and was still laughing awhile later.

Add the Drifter to the list of injured this year:

NXT Superstar Elias Samson suffered a fractured left ankle while competing at an NXT Live Event in Nashville this past weekend, WWE.com has learned.

"The match had to be stopped due to the injury and Elias was helped to the back, unable to bear weight on the ankle," WWE ringside physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. "Elias will be put in a cast and crutches, but is expected to make a full recovery."

So no drifter on tv through the build to the Summerslam show it looks like.

More than 90 percent of people don't know who half these guys are. I think you're missing the point.

Random. Is it too much to ask for HD PPV stages with some "throwback" designs/personality? Part of the spectacle for me last decade was seeing the stage design and pyro opening at the start of the event. I'm sure it's easier to use the same set, or variations of, on the road...but come on lol.
