The Great Antonio

Hometown: Originally from Zagreb, Yugoslavia. Moved to Montreal, Quebec
Height & Weight: 6'4" - 450 lbs
Debut: 1950s

# 1945: The Great Antonio immigrated to Canada, where he initially made his living as a wrestler giving exhibitions of strength..
# 1952: The Great Antonio made the Guinness Book of Records by pulling a 433-ton train in Montreal along the tracks for 19.8 metres..
# 1960: The Great Antonio scored his second Guinness entry by pulling four city buses loaded with passengers along St. Catherine Street..
# 1970s: The Great Antonio travelled the world, putting on exhibitions of strength and wrestling..
# The Great Antonio appeared on several TV programs such as Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson and NBC's Real People..
# The Great Antonio owned what he said was the world's largest rocking chair - 4 metres high and 2 metres wide..
# 1971: The Great Antonio nearly won the North American title in Calgary, but the match ended with a riot!

From wiki: Barichievich purportedly almost won the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship in wrestling in Calgary in 1971, but his unpopularity and appearance nearly resulted in a riot. His wrestling career continued into New Japan Pro Wrestling in the 1980s without much success. On December 8, 1977, he lost a notorious match against Antonio Inoki. The match took a turn for the worse when Barichievich inexplicably began to no-sell Inoki's attacks and then attack Inoki, causing Inoki to shoot on Barichievich, legitimately punching and kicking him into a bloody mess.

Bret

Antonio sounds like a fun guy though

[h]

Antonio and his wacky chair. I've watched the battle of the Antonios several times, and anyone who can get up after that beating deserves at least one vote.

[dabossftw]

Bret Hart gets the vote, but I must say, the Great Antonio was quite comedic whilst getting his rear-end handed to him by Inoki.

The Great Antonio

What ever is beside him (it looks like a bear) is way more better than Bret Hart

[strykerdarksilence]

I've let a few shocks go in this because they just happened off the cuff, however I'd like those who voted for Antonio to explain why they think I should put him through over Bret. Whether you're a fan of his or not, putting through a guy who's main achievements were pissing off a crowd and pissing off Antonio Inoki over a multi time WWE and WCW champion is a bit bogus. Nearly anybody else I wouldn't question it, but putting a non-wrestler over Bret Hart?

[strykerdarksilence]

And just for an example, I wouldn't vote Antonio over Kevin Nash, because regardless of feelings towards him and his abilities, he's actually a wrestler.

If I'm honest, I don't like Bret Hart, and Antonio sounds more entetaining. And in Pro Wrestling, that what it really comes down to

[strykerdarksilence]

Ok, I'll accept that. h and Silverking?
