OT: Favorite Wrestler
- Thread starter Lucifer Morningstar
- Start date
The best line ever is New Jack saying “Bombs Away” when he tried to kill Vick Grimes. Or Cornette saying that their goal for New Jack in Smoking Mountain Wrestling was to go out there and piss some white people off.

Rock and roll express when I was young.
Chris Jericho when I was college age. He cracked me tf up.
I haven’t watched since then.

Superstar Bill Dundee and the Mongolian Stomper especially in a coal miners glove match with Jerry the king Lawler.
Found this while upstairs at my parents’ last month. Got it from WCW Uncensored ‘95 at the BancorpSouth Center.
He fought Meng (with Col. Tom as his manager) in a martial arts match. Yep.

Damn, I forgot to include Dusty. If you ever want a really good feeling, go watch The Rhodes Family vs The Shield at Battleground 2013. It starts at about the 1:05 mark.

"Woman . . . get back in that kitchen where you belong!"
Funny story.
So when I was a kid my dad looked a lot like Jake the snake. Talk, brown hair and mustache. One time we were in New Orleans for a saints game and checking out of the hotel. The lady at the desk said to my dad “ excuse me sir, but are you Jake the snake Roberts?”. If you knew my dad’s sense of humor he of course said yes. Next thing you know he is down there taking pictures and signing autographs with the hotel staff. My mom just sat to the side and shook her head.
Fun times

I'm not a wrestling fan. I don't hate it by any means. Just wouldn't ever go out of my way to watch it.
So reading through this the question that comes to mind is how is one of the most famous wrestlers to outsiders, Andre the Giant, not on one of your lists??

There is a few places to catch the old stuff on streaming, otherwise, you'll have to wade through today's stuff (not the same)
Give me any of the old MidSouth Wrestling guys over these.
Tell me that you grew up watching Saturday morning rasslin on Channel 5 in Memphis with Lance "banana nose" Russell & Dave Brown without telling me.
Just please don't admit that you liked Billy Superstar Dundee

Well done!
Not necessarily favorites but some odd/memorable characters I remember as a kid…
Mankind (Mick)
Harlem Heat
Disco Inferno (Yikes)
D-Generation X (suck it)
Scott Hall (always looked like he just got out of a pool of baby oil)
Hogan’s heel turn to NWO was one of the best moments in wrestling history.
Goldberg wasn’t a great wrestler, but holy hell there wasn’t much better than his initial run with WCW

These two top all others previously mentioned.
ETA Not Surprised MorningStar "Liked" due to his fondness for Debauchery. Hopefully I won't have to pay him a visit one day for watching this twice or frequenting the NSFW threads.

I'm usually one to respect opinions in matters such as these, but any of you clowns that are mentioning Roman Reigns in the same breath as Stone Cold, DX, Rock, Taker, and the NWO are out of your ever loving minds. He may be the best thing going to today in an era of mostly $hitty wrestling, but he's at least a couple tiers down from those legends
Jerry "The Kang" Lawler was a bad mo'fo back in his day. . . . . It was game over when he pulled down the strap. . . . .Actually met him one time and he was very personable. . . . .

Met him at that great for lunch Southern Home Style restaurant basically on Memphis State's Campus. Never seen such a famous person enjoying shaking every damn hand offered. Even while trying to finish eating he liked BSing with those who just walked up and wanted to BS. IMO it was genuine and not simply "Knowing Where His Money Comes From" or just fan appeasement.

Not a lot of love for DDP in this thread. I guess his run was rather short in comparison to others.
In no particular order:

Diamond Dallas Page

Ultimate Warrior
Booker T

Mick Foley

I completely forgot about the strep gimmick. 80s and 90s were fantastic and the wrestling world was good entertainment. Too bad we've thrown too sophisticated in the modern world.
I like ddp and his short time in wrestling comparatively. Met him right before covid. He was super nice and very talkative, which threw me off as I just wanted to be a star struck mark with a quick Pic.
He runs his ddp yoga now and is constantly looking out for those of us wrasslin fans who have weight we could afford to lose.
I'm old school. Saturday mornings Mid-South wrestling. Greenwood ch 6.

Then I went to college and the Starkville cable system had the Memphis wrestling featuring Jerry "King" Lawler.

Dated a gal back in the early 80’s. She was a big rasslin fan, I didn’t get it but whatever. She would go to whatever local armory that had live wrestling. Found out later she was 17in Bill Dundee.
