Battle of the Wrestlers

Barney Rubble · 13-12-2007, 02:37 AM

The recent spate of activity in the wrestling thread got me thinking this would be a good idea, plus it's a battle thread we haven't already done, which is a rarity. What's a good number of guys to include? Maybe 64, or is that not enough? There's a fair few guys who are certainties to be included, so I'll list them now and then take suggestions for the rest of the competitors.

Hulk Hogan
André The Giant (R.I.P.)
Ric Flair
'The Game' Triple H
'The Immortal' Sting
The Rock
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Kurt Angle
The Undertaker
'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
Edge
Eddie Guerrero (R.I.P.)
Chris Benoit (Erm...)
The Ultimate Warrior
'Macho Man' Randy Savage
'The Hardcore Legend' Mick Foley
'Y2J' Chris Jericho
Kane
Christian/Christian Cage
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam
'The Legend Killer' Randy Orton
Shane McMahon
Dean Malenko
Goldberg
Brock Lesnar
Owen Hart
Terry Funk
John Cena
J.B.L.
Mr. Kennedy
CM Punk
'Five-Time WCW Champion' Booker T
X-Pac
Chavo Guerrero
'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes
Harley Race
Bubba Ray Dudley
D-Von Dudley
Rikishi
'The British Bulldog' Davey Boy Smith (R.I.P.)
'Mr.Perfect' Curt Hennig (R.I.P.)
Arn Anderson
'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase
'Ravishing' Rick Rude (R.I.P.)
Jake 'The Snake' Roberts
Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat

I'm not gonna be able to enforce any strict rules about when the voting period ends etc, because of how irregular my internet access is, but we'll just say that voting is open until I declare it closed, which'll be after everyone who wants a vote has had a decent enough chance to get one. I'm not gonna be closing battles after one vote just so my favourite guy wins.

Tag teams and stables are not eligible, although if someone wants to put The Dudleyz or the Hardys or anyone else in then there's no reason why they can't both be put in and voted for separately.

So, suggestions for other names? There were plenty I can think of who were maybes, but I thought I'd leave it up to others. One other thing I thought I'd say is that we're not voting on technical ability, or mic ability, just purely on one thing - entertainment. You're voting for the guy you most enjoy watching, for any reason.

Should have mentioned that the usual system of seconding nominations will be in place - as soon as someone else backs you up your suggestions will be thrown in.

With that in mind, I second Kane, Christian, RVD and the Hardys. Will add them into the original list.

Randy Orton
Santino Marella

Yokozuna
Rikishi
Owen Hart
Terry Funk
Sabu
Tommy Dreamer
Sandman
Rey Mysterio
Dean Malenko

Meh, someone else will. Obviously he's great, I've just never been that enamoured with his gimmick.

pinchy81 · 13-12-2007, 04:15 AM

Lesnar. He was pushed way too hard etc but I enjoyed him, especially as a face.

I'm gonna second him. One of the most convincing big, strong guys you'll ever see - one of the most athletic guys around, seriously stacked physically, and technically brilliant. Mic work was perfectly respectable too.
