If it's an obscure wrestler i'd like to see what there main claim to fame is. A photo of wrestler may be nice too.

Jeff Jarrett is interesting. He's like a really good Honky Tonk man.
I need tea now, but will come back to finsh the comparison.

" as for obscure wrestlers, looking at the list of the Top 50 right now, there is absolutely no guys who are under the radar, especially if you're a regular on these boards... |

I'm looking forward to this. I know some of my picks are a bit too obscure to make it, but there's always a chance.  |

Psicosis. A very ugly man, who stole his friend's car and hit a pregnant woman. Honestly, that's all I know about him.
So instead I'll talk about a guy called 'Sweet n' Sour' Larry Sweeney.
He's not just charismatic, he has some of the best interviews and promos I've ever heard, bar none. He plays his gimmick up until you believe that he's completely out of his mind. He wears the feather boas, the pink tights and pink boots and purple shirt, ribbons and tassels, curled hair and huge sunglasses, and he'll go on about how he's a 'real man's man', driving down the interstate in his Trans Am with Eddie Money playing while he defends his 'ICW-ICWA Texarkana Television Championship', a belt that he made up for this gimmick and acts like it's the most prestigious title in all of wrestling.
He's a total blast from the past, an 80's wrestler from a time when I was just a wee lad, but he's just so AWESOME in his role. He's not just a comedy character, either, because he can switch gears from outlandish overacting to quietly serious, and back again without blinking.
The only problem I can see for him is that he's a little on the short side, at only 6' or so, but otherwise he's money as far as I'm concerned.

You should post some links of this Sweet N' Sour guy, that way I'd be able to see him... Otherwise, I probably won't...

Bumpin for the night with a question...
If this goes over well, I thought about making this a semi-regular feature with other topics. Here's a few that I thought of...
50 Wrestlecrappiest Wrestlers
20 Greatest Matches
20 Greatest PPVs
20 Greatest Tag Teams
20 Most "WTF" Moments
So, what do you guys think? I know results haven't been released yet, but I guarantee not to disappoint. What other types of countdowns would you want to vote in?

Maybe instead of wrestlecrappiest go for worst wrestler. That could really show who the board hates the most. or do both, lol. Big John Studd |

The most I've seen of Big John Studd was one of the first Wrestlemanias where he had a body slam challenge with Andre The Giant. When I rented these, honestly, the videos bored me to death (This was right before the Attitude Era)... I do remember thinking "Man, this guy's pretty huge, why isn't he still wrestling?" Then I found out he was dead.

Lita's career seems to have taken a hit from the Edge/Matt Hardy scandal. Funny, because it seems like it did only good things for Matt and especially Edge. A fact that seems to have been all but forgotten by WWE fans is that Lita is one of the best female workers they've ever had. She's very well rounded in the ring, and she was an awesome high flyer before she screwed up her neck. I hope she's remembered as one of the greatest woman wrestlers.

Bad News Brown is one of the best out for themselves heels of all time. A no nonsense guy who would beat up anyone to get what he wanted.Heel or face he didn't care and pulled it off rather well. Being capable in the ring helped too. I liked him and wish I had remembered him to put on my list. Certainly in my top 50 anyway.

Okay, he had a good look, that's it.

(Evil) Doink Matt Bourne was a hell of a good wrestler, but because of the gimmick, very rarely got to demonstrate it. While the idea of a wrestlign clown is an interesting gimmick, I still point to Doink as being the touchstone of one of my least-favorite gimmicks of the modern age, the "Wrestling _________" gimmick, like Duke Drose, the Wrestling Garbageman, or Eugene, the Wrestling Idiot Savant. Tommy Dreamer. |

The Innovator of Violence has been through of the best feuds (in ECW with Raven) and some of the lamest storylines (eating his own hair in WWE). Wish he'd get some respect in WWECW

(EDITED: Al Wilson got to Dreamer before me, Here's Scott Hall)
Oh Scott Hall, how many times have I had faith in your comeback? I've loved this guy since the days of Razor Ramon. Oozing machismo, he was destined for a lot more in wrestling, but alcoholism is a b****. I know his ladder match with Shawn Michaels wasn't the first, but it definitely is one of the best.

Steamboat has/had a lot of talent, that's for sure, but his Dragon persona with the firebreathing and the Komodos, while a fun gimmick, destroyed a lot of his credibility for me, the gimmick should have gone to somebody else and Steamboat allowed to be Steamboat.
I want to say RVD or Hayabusa, but instead I'll say a guy who, although I go on about him a lot, he is often ignored in terms of top wrestlers- Perry Saturn.

Perry Saturn was one of those guys who, no matter the gimmick, can make it work. Hell, even the whole Moppy thing, a Wrestlecrap inductee, worked to a degree. A solid worker, his team with Kronus in the Eliminators is high on the list of the greatest tag teams ever. Personally, I loved his gimmick after he lost the "Loser Wears A Dress" match with Jericho, with the twisted side showing.
