                My favorite tag team of the decade was the Midnight Express! And Jim Cornette probably my favorite manager also!

                  Hard to leave Hogan out of a list like this. Guess I'd have to put him somewhere as bad of a workrate as he had.

                        The Road Warriors may not make the Top 10 as single wrestlers, but easily a top 3 of teams.

                            1 Hulk Hogan
                            2 Ric Flair
                            3 Jerry Lawler
                            4 Randy Macho Man Savage
                            5 Dusty Rhodes
                            6 Andre the Giant
                            7 Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
                            8 Kerry Von Erich
                            9 Nick Bockwinkel
                            10 Paul Orndoff
                            Honorable Mention: Sting did not win a world title in the 80's. Tommy Wildfire Rich had a nice run. Eddie Hot Stuff Gilbert was a name to remember. Bill Superstar Dundee. Koko B Ware. Junkyard Dog. Tony Atlas. Jake the Snake. Ravishing Rick Rude. No way you can only pick 10, the 80's and early 90's were the best era for wrestling IMO

                                Got to have Andre in there somewhere. Was really king of the business in many ways. One of the best heel turns ever in '87!

                                    Golden age of wrestling. Looking through the lists, it's hard to find a wrestler mentioned who didn't put on a good show. Favorites were the Road Warriors, especially when managed by Missy Hyatt.

                                            Ultimate Warrior easily in the top 5. Only wrestler back then to hold two titles at the same time.


                                            Best Tag Team of the 1980's and probably of all time: Demolition

                                                    As a World Wrestling Federation (WWF) performer, the Ultimate Warrior was known for his high-energy ring entrances, which featured him racing into the arena at full speed, bursting into the ring, and violently shaking the ropes up and down. He was also known for his distinctive pattern of face paint. His first feud was with Hercules Hernandez, who he defeated at WrestleMania IV. Warrior enjoyed two stints as WWF Intercontinental Champion, defeating The Honky Tonk Man (in 13 seconds at the first ever SummerSlam in 1988) and Rick Rude at SummerSlam 1989. The Warrior was heralded as the wrestler to become the biggest star of the 1990s, and the successor to Hulk Hogan, who had remained wrestling's biggest star throughout the 1980s. Following a few confrontations with Hogan, most notably at the 1990 Royal Rumble, the Warrior was written in as Hogan's opponent in the main event for WrestleMania VI at the SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario. The match was billed as "The Ultimate Challenge", as both Hogan's WWF World Championship and Warrior's WWF Intercontinental Championship were on the line. Warrior pinned Hogan after a Warrior Splash to become the first wrestler to hold the WWF World Championship and WWF Intercontinental Championship simultaneously. Warrior vacated the Intercontinental title, as WWF rules prohibited a wrestler from holding both singles titles

                                                    WARRIOR DIDNT EXPLODE TIL 89/90 so i wouldnt put him on the list for the 80s
