No Foley?

I actually forgot about him. I would put him ahead of Nash but still behind Flair, Benoit, Jericho, and Hall

It really sucks Hall had so many problems with alcohol/drugs. The guy could wrestle, had an awesome look/size, and a ton of charisma. I don't think he was ever world heavyweight champ in WCW and I know he never was in WWE. He should have been a much bigger star.

Bret, Shawn, Foley, Rock, Austin are my top 5 (not in order). I feel like from a pure entertainment standpoint these guys were untouchable in their own right.

My top 5 of all time

- Taker - The guy delivered 4 star+ matches consistently even in his late 40's. Super agile for a big man and his gimmick was as good as any. Sucked on the MIC but Taker, in my opinion, is a top-5 character and performer.

- Jericho - The ultimate professional. Consistently elevated the opponent's game and had to "carry" guys in a lot of matches. Probably the only guy alongside Heyman who could carry an entire angle on his mic skills alone.

- Hogan - I know it's popular to hate on Hogan. But he is who got me into Wrestling. NO ONE comes even close to hysteria Hogan had in his prime. He had people eating out of his palms and he revolutionized the business. His mic skills were awesome and his in-rin charistma will be second to none. He was a good wrestler too, just never needed to use it in the WWE. His Japan matches exhibit his technical side. But aside from all of this, He was by far THE BEST FACE and THE BEST HEEL in this history of the business. Hogan was and is always be the best.

- Mick Foley - The dude was awesome all around. Crazy spots, crazt gimmicks, crazy matches. He had everything.

- Macho Man - He had great matches, was super weird yet super cool on the mic, his gimmick never wore off throughout his career and I feel he could have been THE GUY at times but never really given a run.

It sucks that Bray wasnt on Raw last night, i was hoping that he would attack someone important and get a huge pop from the crowd.

They should do a 6 man hell in the cell this year, that would be smart to do and the fans would love it. Lets take it back to the attitude days at Armageddon lol

The 6 can be:
Brock
Rollins
Orton
Ambrose
Cena
Bray or Cesaro

I like that idea. WWE/Authority would probably put Kane over Bray or Cesaro.

He made it look "realer" than anyone else, from his basic punches/kicks to everything else. I loved his move-set. No one did a better Russian leg sweep.

He really did have a ton of natural charisma for a guy who wasn't one of the best cutting promos. Chris Benoit was like that too. Bret and HBK will always be the greatest to me

I feel like you and I are the same wrestling fan.

Bret and Shawn >>> Mr. Perfect >>>> everyone else

Eh?

In terms of pure wrestling, Henning is def one of the best ever. But Bret & Shawn > Rock & Austin > Angle > everyone else

I guess my top 5 would be:

1. Bret/Shawn (really both were so great and they were at their best against each other imo. As a Canadian I LOVED Bret growing up and hated Shawn. But as I got older I realized just how incredible Shawn truly was. Hell when I was a kid a I used to dream about beating up HBK and he was actually selling for me. Everything about these two I just loved: their look, their wrestling style.. I wish I could watch one more match with these two in their prime)

2. Rock - I **** loved him. I remember when he joined the Nation of Domination and cheered for him. Then he gradually grew into the Rock character and it was amazing to watch it evolve and see him become one of the best ever. He wasn't one of the best in the ring but he knew how to work a match. When you have that much charisma you don't need to be incredible in the ring

3. Austin - Man I hated this dude when he went in on Bret but that showed how awesome he was because he made it look so believable, going after maybe the biggest face in wrestling at the time. He had that IT factor and you had to watch him when he was on. 1996-98 Austin was his best. But even his weird heel turn was insanely entertaining. The neck injury hurt him but like the Rock, he could still put on great matches

4. Angle - dude was awesome in the ring and on the mic. He needs a proper send off so I hope he comes back to the WWE

5. I don't know who to put at this spot. Flair/Jericho/Benoit/Hall/Nash... I loved those 5 guys. I was never a big Undertaker fan, who most I assume would have in their top 5. Flair would probably be the #5 for me. He was just so entertaining

Hart is number 1 for me too. Perfect and Flair are in my top bunch. I really liked Razor Ramon. I liked old Sting and Ultimate Warrior. Jake the Snake and Million Dollar Man. Was a fan of Dean Malenko too.

Making a list is too hard. Hated HBK, but he was amazing. And I couldn't like Austin because I only kept thinking of his WCW days. He was so corny.

I think a lot depends on age, but it would be interesting to see everyone's top 3.

JSmooth93 · Post #2146 » by **JSmooth93** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:02 am

In no particular order

Jeff Hardy
The Rock
Undertaker
HBK

I think I only have 4

If you forced me for a fifth I guess I would go with, Latino Heat.

IMAN5 · Post #2147 » by **IMAN5** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:01 pm

Austin, Rock, and my 3rd pick depends on what was going on with them. Really liked Angle, Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Eddie Guerrero.

I remember when Jeff Hardy won the IC Title of HHH and I was going crazy.

Then he lost it on the next show

IMAN5 · Post #2148 » by **IMAN5** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:23 pm

oh and Edge to me was extremely underrated. To become a tag champ to a singles champion, he literally carried Smackdown as far as he could during the brand split. Loved Edge, loved his Charisma, loved when he would hit the spear.

I'm assuming that WWE Supercard hype has died down. I remember being crazy hooked for a few days. I got really bored after a while and I deleted it a week ago. Anyone still hardcore grinding it out for Epic cards and such?

I was hooked on it, too. But I think the biggest thing that made me lose interest was doing the People's Champion all day and then waking up and watching your rank go down 300+ points. I was in the 3000 percentile at one point and ended up at around 6000 because I couldn't make up the difference in lost points anymore.

I stopped before that mode even started. Also it was cool getting a paige card and cena card and all those things, but I feel like it kind of evened everyone out once those were introduced so I just didn't feel like playing anymore.

Still playing it. Just not as often. Will probably stop once I have a deck full of Legendary Pros. Which is fairly soon.

Another PCC starts Thursday. Lol

Boring Raw for 6 weeks straight?

Those injuries (Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Bad News Barrett, Ryback) & departures (CM Punk, Batista) are starting to catch up to them.

IMAN5 · Post #2155 » by **IMAN5** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 1:10 pm

That Bray Wyatt and Harper promo was probably the only interesting thing about Raw. Really wondering what will happen. Is Harper getting a push? First time we have heard him speak. He's also pretty legit in the ring so I wouldn't be against it.

Yeah that promo was so good/creepy lol I'm really looking forward to this push.

The other day Bray tweeted something about a scorpion, could he be hinting at a feud with Sting? Im looking forward to anything and everything from the Wyatt family!

that would be really cool but I don't see WWE giving Sting to Bray. It would probably be SUPER CENA or Brock. Maybe Taker at Wrestlemania.

Brie Bella's theme song is stuck in my head. Short and catchy, much better than the old Bella theme. AJ really needs a new theme, maybe new character as well, but it looks like she knows she's leaving or something. She looks bored out of her mind on RAW

The Bella's are weird looking. One minute they look really cute and next minute they look.. not ugly, but old

I liked yesterday's RAW! Dean is getting the Austin push. He had some good one liners (the authority sending the Cruiserweight division to get him, and telling Cena not to take food off his plate), Seth came off strong, Orton didn't come off boring, we got a good 3 way IC title match, Mizdow's antics, HHH was at the top of his game (straight to dvd career to straight to the unemployment line line to Miz), Luke Harper singles push YES! Sure there was bull sprinkled in (Diva's matches, Torito and Hornswoggle crap), but I enjoyed it for the most part.

Thank you Rollins! :lol:

I wish Cena weren't a part of Ambrose and Rollins feud. So damn annoying.
