I grew up with the WWF so I will have to go with Brett Hart. Great entertainer and great wrestling skills. To me that's one of the last true wrestlers. Nowadays they're more worried about doing comedy skits than actual wrestling.

this +1

i USED to love wrestling, now, everytime im passing channels and i see it it pisses me off... too stupid and way too fake. we all know wrestling has been "fixed" forever, but at least in the early days it was more of an art instead of a loudmouth contest....

shawn michaels vs bret hart... great, great feud...

stone cold steve austin was awesome, triple h, mankind and the undertaker are classics

i always hated the rock.... its been like 8-7 years since i stopped watching

Come on don't be one of those guys that say everything was better when you were a kid and the next generation have no clue. The reason why everything was better when you were younger because when you think about it now you remember the good times and when you think it about what you see today you are too old to relate to it.

Back in the 80's and 90's I watched wrestling too. I remember going to Lamppost Pizza every year to watch WrestleMania on Pay Per View too. But in my early days before WWF Monday Night Raw, pretty much every match on tv was just a tune up match of some Brooklyn Brawler or Leaping Lanny Puffo type vs a far superior opponent like King King Bundy or Hillbilly Jim. Then when they finally had a matchup of two good wrestlers it would end in a DQ or tv time would run out in the middle of the match. In today's wrestling they have top performers play fighting vs other top performers.

I liked wrestling as a kid because a grown man with huge muscles dressed like a superhero kicking ass in the wrestling ring was appealing to me. I am 35 years old now so men my age with muscles and orange tans grabbing other men and rolling around in the ring doesn't appeal to me anymore. Plus knowing how these wrestler guys die such early deaths because of the demand of their job kinda makes it a buzzkill too. Starting to feel the same way about pornstars too. Hearing about all of these AIDS outbreaks in the industry and how many of these girls suffer and battle depression before, during and after their porn career kinda makes it lose sex appeal.

I like Jimmy Wang Yang The Chinese Redneck. He can do a back flip off the top rope for the splash and the pin for the win and then can eat a plate of hot wings before he gets back to the locker room.

Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Stone Cold, Ric Flair, Jack Brisco, The Rock....and a few others.

I loved it when I was a kid (70's and early 80's)...then stopped watching it until the late 90's. Haven't really watched it much in the last 5+ years....

In Nature Boy Ric Flair's book he credits Harley Race, Chief Wahoo McDaniel, and Greg Valentine as pound for pound the toughest men he ever faced.
