Re: Your favorite wrestler and why
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Goldie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Since the retirement of The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, I guess Id have to go with "The Undertaker". Why? I like the name and the way the lights go out and he just appears in the ring. Cool music too.

Actually Flair is not retired. He is now on TNA thursday nights. Along with Hogan, Mick Foley, Sting, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Dudley Boys, and Nasty Boyz. Pretty good line up.
But I would agree Flair is my favorite of all time. Give that guy a microphone and listen to him go to work.
Another one of my favorites and definitely the toughest is Terry Funk. The guy is torn to pieces and should have had both knees replaced decades ago, but he still hobbles out there and puts on a great show.

Mr. T is the worst. He was not even a real wrestler. He was a celebrity brought in and sucked. Listen to some of Rowdy Roddy Pipers interview about how terrible he was to work with.

Sorry, but all of the names mentioned are/were professional wrestlers. Just because it isn't an actual competition it doesn't mean they aren't wrestlers.

Not sure what you trying to say here but, Hogan never WON any gold MEDALS. Kurt Angle however does have 2 olympic gold medals and wrestles on TNA.

i like Stone Cold Steve Austin, an Terri Runnels, she could not wrestle for shit, but she also could not keep her cloths on.</div></div>
If you honestly think Slaughter is a piece of shit you are what is called a mark. He was doing his job as a heel(bad guy) and did a damn good job at it. If an actor plays a terrorist in a movie do you hate the actor?
I can see there is a lot of good taste on the hide when it comes to wrestling. Everyone mentioned good wrestlers and I am surprized to see no one has said Golberg, who is probably the worst ever.
