2. ric flair
3 jerry lawler
4.Dusty rhodes
5. harley race
6. Kerry von erich
7. Randy savage
8. ultimate warrior
9 curt hennig

henning was mainly late 80s, debut as mr perfect in 89, won awa world title
bockwinkle , rhodes and race were mainly early 80s but make the list
Lawler was awa champ, king of memphis,, beat everyone and southern champion several times .
VonErich makes the list for winning the world title over flair and being on top in
world class wrestling

Andre the giant, ricky steamboat,jake roberts, roddy piper, ted dibiase are good, but don't make my list

Andre wasn't as active, steamboat was great but this is top ten, not 12, roddy almost makes the list but was inactive in the late 80's and never held the world title.

[SargeantHooker]

Jimmy "super fly"... Rickey "the dragon" & JYD were my favs along with Hogan. Don't forget Sgt Slaughter & the Iron Sheik. Good thread man, respect.

[ttwarrior1]

they good but just don't make the list for top ten is all, maybe need a list for 70s and 90s

[Kav]

1- jake the snake roberts
2- hulk hogan
3- ravishing rick rude
4- ric flair
5- bret hart
6- ted dibiase
7- randy savage
8- roddy pipper
9- ricky the dragon steamboat
10- i was a big mr perfect fan, but he didint blow up until the 90's so the last spot would go to... THE MODEL RICK MARTEL!!!

[SargeantHooker]

Not a big wresteling guy. Watched it as a kid & loved "superfly" & "the dragon." still remember having a 2nd grade freakout when steamboat got hit with the bell off the top rope & I thought he was dead. Can't believe I bought into that bullsh*t

[HauntingTheHoly]

Whooooooo!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!1one whoooooo!1!111!!!1 whooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoooooooo11111111one!!!!!!!!1one

[SargeantHooker]

I met Ric Flair on bourbon st after the national championship game. It was Jan 1996 & with a bunch of Noles. Every dude we saw in a gator jersey we would grab & say "hey ric flair" or "hey Danny" give me your autograph. Dumb moves by us, but we were young college kids who just lost the title to a team we already beat. One of the worst & best nights ever

[Kav]

if i had a nubmer 11 spot it would go too...

THE ONE AND ONLY KAMALA!

[Mr KLC]

I wouldn't throw Ultimate Warrior in there. He didn't really hit the scene until 1988. He didn't beat Hogan until 1990.

[gr1624]

Not a big Hogan fan but he changed sports entertainment so gotta go with him.

[Jimmy Proffett]

This thread is missing:

[thisisit]

How can you not have Sting in there, him and Flair owned the 80's in the NWA!!!!

[chachi]

Superfly Snuka ... still remember the cage match when he was 15ft up ...

[Dirty Sanchez]

Man Bruiser Brodie and Abdullah the Butcher were pretty bad ass

[Lincoln73]

I bump bruiser brody...plus his story is crazy, getting stabbed by another wrestler in the shower in Puerto Rico, a good read on wiki.

[hugh_morris]

No Bob Backlund..Tully Blanchard...Superstar Billy Graham...Barry Windam...Terry Funk....Dory Funk...Magnum TA...List is endless....

[unusialsusp5]

haystacks calhoun in the 50's-60's was the tiger woods of wrestling. no one wrestler could beat him, so they always matched him 2-1.

[jbrent95]

Kevin vonErich

[SpiderMonkey]

Road Warriors

[mighty maron]

Kevin von erich for his part in this

[blackbeSSt]

.....

[katstale]

No one has mentioned the JunkYard Dog, although I would doubt he is top ten. He was in the cartoons tho.

[Dirty Sanchez]

One of my favorites of all time was George "The Animal" Steele....nothing better then that guy going nuts with the green tongue and eating the turnbuckle and throwing the stuffing into the crowd. Dude use to slobber on the other wrestler's arm, poke them in the eye, and bite them. I don't think I ever saw that guy throw a punch
