[ed. note: I started editing, then stopped editing. I think it's better this way]The Greats
Hulk Hogan-The greatest wrestler of all time, I don't care what people say. Best Hero and Best villain ever he made wrestling popular twice and made it mainstream. In the 80's he came off of rocky 3 and him and Vince McMahon made wrestling into one of the most popular things around. Hogan beat the Iron Sheik and held the title for 5 years
taking on Andre the Giant in maybe most famous wrestling match ever at Wrestle Mania 3. Some of these so called wrestling experts (Internet nerds) say Hogan was a poor wrestler. It has nothing to do with that- at his height in the mid 80's-early 90's, fans wanted to see him win and wanted to see him beat the bad guy with a leg drop. He was a super hero.....and you believed in him. His interviews were awesome. I can remember being 8 years old. getting ready to see him take on Savage at WM5. He just made you believe it was real and everything was on the line brother.
The Warrior and Hulk went at it in WM 6 in good guy vs good guy. It was there were he tried to past the torch. As I became a teenager, his act started getting old. It lasted almost 10 years, and then, in WCW, he turned into a bad guy turning on Savage and WCW and becoming a part of the NWO as Hollywood and he became one of the best heels ever. The heat that was generated towards Hogan was huge, it but also you respected how cool this group was because they had attitude. Now this brought wrestling back to the mainstream ............WCW became the top dog so this forced WWF to create new stars with attitude and then came Stone Cold and the Rock.............Hulk Hogan is the greatest pro wrestler of all times great on the mic great in the ring because he played his part to the thr good or bad guy learn something young bucks which you gonna do when the 24 inch pythons run wild on you
Macho Man Randy Savage- Would have been the greatest and most popular wrestler of all times if not for Hogan. Awesome in the ring his matches were always good. His mic skills classic always made you laugh even if he was a bad guy. His jealous rage for anyone who looked at
Elizabeth was classic and his hatred for hogan is great. Ohhhhhh YEEAAAAAAAAH is all you need say in a deep raspy voice and everybody knows who your talking about dig it. Savage came to the WWF in the 80's to become a top bad guy and he did just that grabbing miss Elizabeth as a smoking hot 80's chick as his manager and taking on feuds with George the animal steel and Ricky steamboat........steamboat and savage had maybe the best match ever at WM3 youtube it trust me..........he then became a good guy and started a tag team friendship with Hulk Hogan this pushed him to new heights soon with hogans help he would win the WWF title at WM4 in a tourney it was an awesome moment for a year hogan and savage breaking up built up and the mega powers finally exploded at WM5 it ended there with hogan winning .....savage and hogan went at it for some time then he had feuds with dusty Rhodes the warrior Ric flair and then a awesome and scary one with Jake the Snake ..........he then jump ship with hogan to WCW and help them become big as hogan turned on him to start NWO then Savage joined NWO and had wars with flair again and ddp all and all prob my favorite wrestler ever... hogan needed savage in my opinion the 2nd biggest star from the 80's and 90's snap into a slim jim Ohh Yeaaah
Ric Flair Wooooooooooo" to be the man you have to beat the man" Flair was maybe the best in ring wrestler of all times. And was awesome
on the mic as well. WOOOOOOO the Nature Boy carried NWA/WCW for years winning the world title like 15 times. He and Sting were the other guys from the other league not named wwf in the 80's but Flair would always catch your attention when he interviewed letting you know that the 4 horsemen were styling and profiling all night long wooooo. Flair came to WWF in 92 and brought his world title and instantly was build up by bobby the brain and Mr perfect as the real champ and was going to take on hogan in an 80's dream match they did wrestle but never in the main event like they were supposed too Flair did win the wwf belt and then had a great feud with Savage he eventually went back to WCW and was there during its boom period taking on the NWO and giving some great and funny interviews he is one of the greats
The Rock - IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING .....the rock maybe the funniest guy ever in wwf. The Peoples Elbow, The Peoples Eyebrow, Rudy_poo candy ass.... and just thinking of some of his lines is making me laugh. When he went to movies the majority of people stop watching he was the last great one. The Rock came into wwf as Rocky Mavia and the fans hated him then the WWF let him change his imagine into a trash talking bad guy who had monster feuds with Stone Cold. This was the 2nd great era in WWF this was when nudity and cursing was all over the monday night raw and the rock helped bring the wwf back and beat out wcw. He soon became one of the most popular wrestlers of all times fans would chant his name and scream his catch phases if only he would come back i might watch again he is the great one
Stone Cold Steve Austin - A beer drinking pissed off redneck who beat up his boss. He help bring wrestling back to the mainstream in the late 90's in a whole new way by having a feud with his boss Vince McMahon he would come to the ring talk give the finger stun you and then drink 12 beers he was every 18-35 olds hero injuries shorted his career but for a period he was as big as hogan in the 80's with a whole different style why because stone cold said so oh hell yeah ....every Monday night you would to hear that glass break and see him walk to the ring and open up a can of whip ass
Andre the Giant - the 8th wonder of the world maybe the most recognizable wrestler before the boom of the 80's and then the hulksters biggest challenge. Many people don't realize that Andre was a very big fan favorite but then he turned on Hogan and joined bobby the brain and it created one of the most anticipated matches ever. His stories are legendary apparently Andre could drink 50 beers 2 bottles of jack eat 12 hamburgers and hot dogs and still be sober and hungry one of the biggest and
beloved men ever
Shawn Michael's - the heartbreak kid was a scrawny guy with a mullet as a part of the rockers but then became a bad guy and
kicked Marty jannetty through a mirror on the barber shop he then went on to put on classic matches with razor ramon ladder match and bret hart in a crazy feud that ended in a real life screw job before brett left for wcw........he then stayed with wwf and helped bring all kinds of wild stuff to TV with DX using lines like suck it and pointing to his privates ...he always puts on fun matches
Ultimate Warrior- One of the coolest looks and gimmicks of all times no doubt about it he was a jacked and tan monster with cool 80's hair and awesome face paint he wore flashy colors and ran to the ring like a crazy person once he was in the ring he would run around shake the ropes pound his chest and beat people in 10 seconds (like the honky tonk man at summerslam 89) He was the most popular guy of the early 90's besides hogan and at WM6 might have passed hogan in popularity with a huge win ..........after that warrior had all kinds of issues ...rumors of him being dead after he was actually fired for steroid abuse still go on to this day. There were never two warriors as wwf finally confirmed years later just a couple of suspensions for steroid use and money hold outs when the warrior came back 3 times he always looked smaller and he never gained the popular status he did back in his hay day its a sad sad thing because he could have been one of the best
Sting - also a very cool look in the 80's and 90's the most popular wrestler never to wrestle in wwf.......in the 80's he had the cool face paint like the warrior and cool 80's spiked hair always fighting flair. in the 90's he took on the look of the crow with black and white face paint he did not wrestle for like a year he just came from the rafters and beat up the nwo the stinger was awesome
Roddy Roddy Pipper- one of the craziest guys ever with bag pipes playing and wearing a kilt the hot rod was one of hogans first villains he was easily the most hated wrestler in the mid 80's after beating snuka up and then going after hogan each week on his pipers pit .....he also fought mr.t in a boxing match wm3 he was one the big names of the 80's in the 90's he was in and out of wrestling but would always make come backs and get the crowd going his interviews were always wild youtube him talking trash about bad news brown or anybody for that matter
Brett "The Hitman" Hart- the excellence of execution the sharp shooter one half of a great tag team the hart foundation then became a great singles wrestler. a lot of people feel he was the best in ring wrestler ever he was the follow up act to hogan after hogan left for wcw so it was a tough act to follow but he held the wwf title a number of times and had all time great feuds with austin and shawn michales...........the montreal screw job which turned out to be a real life thing as Vince McMahon made the bell ring so michales can win the wwf title because Brett was leaving for wcw and brett went nuts punching vince out backstage .......he was great in the ring never really was able to generate the excitement of some the bigger guys
The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiese- everybody's got a price money money money money was his
theme music followed by an awesome laugh the millon dollar man came on to the scene in the late 80's buying everything he had an African American man servant virgil which now could never work do to PC and he tried buying everything including the wwf title when he could not buy that by using andre the giant he made his own belt the million dollar belt one of the best bad guys ever
Jake the Snake Roberts - with his snake
Damian and his ddt jake the snake was one of the best good and bad guys ever. He always creeped opponents out with his snake scaring the likes of andre the giant and ravishing rick rude..........him and his snake damien were loved until Damien was crushed by earthquake then it seemed jake took a turn for the worst by turning into one of the scariest bad guys ever he attacked macho man randy savage and elizbeth at there wedding and he also slapped her and had his new snake bite savage it was gruesome tv back in the early 90's

commercials showing him hitting half court shots drilling home runs with wade boggs he was the perfect athlete another IC champion who had great matches every time in the ring also was a great manger to rick flair when he came over the perfect plex one of the best finishing moves ever
Undertaker-the dead man maybe the only guy wrestling that i know today came into the wwf and scared the crap out of every little kid he littlerly made you believe he was going to kill hogan and the warrior and bury them. He spoke few words and he was supposed to be some super human man who paul bearer would control with his urn. He was the fastest rising bad guys ever he tombstone his way to the wwf title.
