The Greatest

Top 10 it is baby! I know you have all been waiting and here it is. There will be future post with a little more info on my pics. With out further ado, the best baby!

10. The Stiener Brothers
I know its a tag team, but they were great. The first time I was Scott Steiner do the frankensteiner I was hooked on the tag team. They held the WCW Tag Titles 5 times and the WWF Tag Titles 2.

9. Road Warriors/Legion of Doom
that's right another Tag Team. I promise this is the last one. I have been fortunate enough to see the Road Warriors live and in person. These guys just destroyed people. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh What A Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. Mick Foley
Mick Foley made this list solely on the basis of Cactus Jack. I absolutely loved Cactus. His other personas where good and Mick Foley himself is great. But Cactus Jack was the man. Bang! Bang!

7. Triple H
Mr. Stephanie McMahon himself made my list. All kidding aside, There will be a day when this man is at the top of my list. 10 time Heavy Weight Champion. That's just ridicules. He is the game.

6. Stone Cold Steve Austin
In my opinion the savior of WWE. Wrestling was heading down an odd path before this man. And he had the coolest title belt ever. The true working mans wrestler. Flipping the bird and telling your boss off, who doesn't identify with that.

5. Undertaker
The deadman is very much alive. He's just as old as Hogan and all those other losers, but he moves like he's 30 years younger. I personally like the biker taker the best, but I will take him however I can get him.

4. Hulk Hogan
No, definitely not Hollywood. Hogan is arguably one of the top 2 wrestlers of all time. But this is my list and during Hogans hay day I was watching WCW. Hogan brought wrestling main stream. He made it entertainment and not wrestling. The business owes him everything, for what it is.

3. Ric Flair
The last gladiator. He is wrestling. Flair is the other "arguable one of the top 2 wrestlers of all time." He has helped keep the wrestling tradition alive. Jet flying, limousine riding, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing son of a gun. Whoooooo!

2. Shawn Michaels
The Show Stopper, 5 time World Heavy Weight Champion. It almost doesn't get any better than him. With a lot of first under his belt he earned the nickname the innovator by participating in these matches; First Ever Ladder Match, First Ever Hell in a Cell, First Ever Elimination Chamber, First Ever Grand Slam Champion, 95 1st to enter the Royal Rumble and win, First Ever Back to Back Royal Rumble wins (96 & 96), Wrestlemania XII 1 hour Iron Man Match.

1. Sting
My personal favorite of all time. I dig the "scare crow" Sting that has been all over the place the past 6 or 7 years. But nothing is better than the bleached blonde wild man. Sting has held the coveted NWA World Heavy Weight Title 1 time. The only other person on this list to have also held the title in it original capacity is Ric Flair. WCW World Heavy Weight Title 9 times.

Well we can tell how young you are anyways. Now I like some on your list but.... Hows about the original Nature Boy, yes Flair ripped that name off a guy from back in the early seventies. Nature Boy Kirby was the MAN. From his handle bar moustache to his bulging biceps-makes Flair look like a creampuff. And then Rufus R. Jones, and Danny Littlebear. Baron Von Raske and his Iron Claw. Well, those were the days, even watching Handsome Harley Race and Bulldog Bob Brown was entertainment. Trevor's little bro will agree with you on just about all except Triple H. Not too well respected in this household!!! Papa T
