I found a show called “ the dark side of the ring” today and it was pretty interesting. It had me wondering who is considered the best? I watched it as a young child but lost interest. I always liked the Road Warriors.
Best “Rassler” of all time?
- Thread starter Judson1
- Start date
"Dirty" Dick Raines, Dickie Slater and "Mr. Wonderful" were some actual tough guys but being tough has nothing to do with the sports entertainment of today.
Was a fan of Leon White (Big Van Vader)
Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Larry Zbyszko, Ricky Steamboat, AJ Styles, and Brian Danielson are some of my all-time favorites, though. I stopped watching for the most part 5 or so years ago.

Also loved Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant. I got to pat him on his sweaty back after a match when I was a kid.
The new season starts Tuesday. It's about christ Benoit killing his family.
Ric Flair...and it isn't even close.
Some of my other favorites:
Ricky Steamboat
Sting
Chris Kanyon (great performer...not much charisma)
Jake Roberts

Ric Flair without a doubt for old school fans of territory wrestling. He is the 1 who bridged the gap from wrestling back then to the wrestling of today. Ask Stone Cold and he will tell you its Flair.

Also Lord Steven Regal may have been the best live performer ever. He could get a crowd riled up by doing almost nothing. I remember seeing him at the Township driving those little old ladies to swing canes at him. It was great.

The first season was really good. The episode about the Von Erichs was really something else.
Ric Flair, Magnum TA, AND Wahoo McDaniels was my favorites. I have old pictures of me with Wahoo, Magnum TA, and Ric Flair. Took the pic in Florence in the early 80s when they wrestled at the Fair Grounds in Florence. I was in middle school I think. I would come home and try the belly to belly suplex, and the figure 4 on my big brother. Good times.
My top four:
1. Ric Flair
2. Dusty Rhodes
3. Wahoo McDaniel
4. Black Jack Mulligan
Honorable Mentions
1. Magnum T.A.
2. Sting
3. Paul Jones
4. Greg Valentine
Too many more to name. Was a big time fan. I remember going to Florence Memorial Stadium in Florence, SC with my dad every time they came.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Andre The Giant yet. What an absolutely massive human being!
How about favorite announcer and referee.
Announcer: Bob Caudle
Referee: Tommy Young

Did anyone ever actually see Jim Ross’s mouth move? I’ve never seen anyone be able to annunciate words with so little movement of their mouth.
the Four Horsemen was probably the first time I remember hating a group of wrestlers. Doesn’t mean they weren’t good though. I was always mesmerized by the Undertaker. At least his first few years in that role. With Paul Bearer.
Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Val Venis is a personal favorite, Andre the Giant, Stone Cold, Mankind, and the Rock etc
