VOTING IS NOW CLOSED! CHECK TOMORROW FOR RESULTS!

[bigHEADinc]

Hey guys, moved this over to the WWE forums for some extra foot traffic.

Again, remember to read the basics of this on page 1.

[bigHEADinc]

I'm turning this back into a discussion thread, BUT REMEMBER TO VOTE!

Again, I'll list a wrestler, you say your opinion, then list another wrestler to be judged.

"The Model" Rick Martel

[bigHEADinc]

Come on people, get to voting!

[TripleMerc]

Ah yes, Rick Martel. Although I wasn't alive while he was "on top", everything I ever saw about him impressed me. Where did he go anyways? I haven't seen him in a while.

Abyss

[Drillbit Taylor]

Does Tag team count as 1 or as 2 slots?

[Franchise]

I'll compile a list a little later, likely after dinner.

As for Abyss...I'm not usually a fan of big men, but Abyss takes a character and some wrestling ability and makes it into something I can watch. I would have liked to see him have the strap a little longer.

Alex Wright.

I've been counting both members as separate entities (I.E. Hawk,
Animal, Ax, Smash) I've actually had Londrick voted for but, since Paul London had yet to be voted on but Brian Kendrick was on my list already, I gave the vote to Kendrick

Alex Wright, the dancing machine. I remember this guy being hyped up when he debuted as the next big thing in wrestling. He was the greenest good guy I've seen since the Rocky Maivia Days. In fact, he looked like a guy called Gunloc from the game Saturday Night Slammasters... Here's a pic...


See the similarities?

Big Show

[kickassforumguyme]

Give us some teasers!

Name the guy whos currently #25 all time greatest

[kickassforumguyme]

As for Big Show

I said it a million times but he's the most un appreciated wrestler of all time I think

Sid

[Mr Captain Falcon]

Big Show, probably the best BIG BIG BIG man in the history of the sport. He's got a lot of athleticism, always put over talent when needed, great sense of humor. He could be a believable monster or a lovable teddy bear.

Sid was just one of those guys who seemed to catch the short end of the straw. He wanted to start the end of his career, but that never happened. He was one of the most believable psychotic gimmicks and scared me when I was little.

Ray Traylor.

[kickassforumguyme]

I really enjoyed Rays saddistic ministry run. He was a believable evil dude.

[detroitpaul]

I liked Big Bubba Rogers when he had less of a wrestling role in the NWA. Also delivered one helluva uppercut.



Rowdy Roddy Piper

[ilggant]

Roddy Piper's influence on the wrestling world is one of the things that is so huge that it's incredible it rarely gets mentioned. Was one of the key factors to getting Hulk Hogan over and was one of the pioneers of Wrestlemania. Remains hugely over to this day. On a side note, get well soon, Hot Rod!

Kurt Angle

Problem is, with each new entry, the list changes... I would love to tell you guys more, but I fear saying "Guy A is only #12 right now" would mean people would change their vote so "Guy A" is #1, know what I mean? I don't want any influence on your votes, just your own opinion...

As for Kurt Angle, he is possibly one of the greatest talents to ever step foot in any ring in the world. The perfect combination of excellent in-ring skills and awesome mic skills and showmanship, he has set the bar for many future generations of wrestlers. While his recent decisions and statements (such as on Bubba The Love Sponge) have been questionable, he is definitely already a legend. All I hope is that his head doesn't get in the way of listening to his body when it comes time to quit.

Kane

[ilggant]

Kane is one of the best big men to ever step foot in a WWE ring. His original gimmick was awesome and he was booked to be indestructable....until he became a joke in the bookers' eyes. But even so, he's always there when a legitimate threat for the title is needed, and if reports are anything to go by, his backstage behaviour is the stuff that legends are made of. As Bret Hart would say, a jam up guy!

Speaking of Bret Hart....HBK

(swerve!! ;D)

[bigHEADinc]

Shawn Michaels is one of the few guys that seems to have his fans flip flop on any given day. With every (rumored) dastardly deed he's done backstage, there'll be an amazing performance in the ring that counteracts it in the fans eyes. While his early career seemed to stem mostly from right place, right time syndrome (with the whole steroid trials), his career after his comeback has more than made up for any of that because, even at his age, he is the consummate performer.

British Bulldog

British Bulldog

While most of this thread has been praising the wrestlers, I just don't have too much for Bulldog. I have nothing against him personally, but, he never impressed me as a child (Likely because I started watching around WM 5, and his glory days with Dynamite were pretty much behind him) and I just wasn't a fan for the mos part. I DID love his tag team with Owen Hart though, pretty much thanks to Owen's antics, as they were one of the only bright spots of the 1995-1996 tag team ranks.

Al Snow

[DrizzlinShytes]

For me Sid was boring as hell which made him perfect in a bodyguard role.

Shawn Michaels was my number one pick.

Al Snow is a great midcard guy that created a cool gimmick that got over in ECW. Seems to be a nice guy but I never cared about him that much.

I.R.S

Haha... I absolutely hated this guy when I was a kid. Now? He's golden to me. The gimmick shouldn't have worked. It should've later been inducted into the Wrestlecrap Hall of Fame. I mean, a wrestling IRS Auditor? But, with Million Dollar Man, this worked oh so well. Coming into the ring with black pants, black suspenders, a white short sleeve button up, and a bright red tie, IRS definitely looked unique with his outfit and performed the character straight up, as if he actually was a man gifted with the name "Irwin R. Scheister".

Sabu

An update on what's happening with the list. I've just added about 4 or 5 more lists today, bringing the total number up to 19 people. There are currently 142 wrestlers vying for the Top 50, and the points between being in the Top 50 and not are pretty slim. There have been a few surprise votes, but the Top 50 looks pretty average right now, save for placement of a few people. KEEP THOSE LISTS COMING!!!

oh, and Cerealkillah, I sent you back a PM, there was a problem with your list.
