Honorable Mentions

So there it is folks. The best there is according to the Loondaddy. There are a few Honorable Mentions that should be 'mentioned' (ha, that rhymes):
  • The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiasi
  • Harley Race
  • Brett Hart
  • Rowdy Roddy Pipper
  • Jerry The King Lawler
  • Chris Benoit
  • Arn Anderson
  • Chris Jericho

Now for a little dispute I have with Papa T. Ric Flair did 'borrow' somebody else's nickname. But it wasn't Nature Boy Kirby, it was Nature Boy Buddy Rogers. I did recognize Baron Von Raske. And as you can tell from my list one of the absolute all time greats in the wrestling business The King Harley Race. All of the guys you listed were local Mid South guys that wrestled for Harley Race.

As for Tysons list, I dug his top 4 and I can see Jericho making a top 10 list, but the rest come on. Up till about a year ago I would have probably put Goldberg on my list. What he did in WCW was awesome and I totally was into it. But since his very short stint in the WWE and his relatively short career I just don't think he is even in a top 25 anymore. But there is always the future and maybe he will make it back up on my list, cause he has amazing ability. But Randy Orton, the kid has only been wrestling for a couple of years and still hasn't shown he could carry the belt. They took it from him in a matter of months. Kevin Nash just hasn't had the career that he could have, because of injuries and going to WCW. Booker T showed his worth when he went to the WWE and has barely carried the US Title and he was the '5 time' WCW champion. Come on, seriously. Rey Mysterio is the sad one out of all of your pics. I have to admit that is a great pic. I still don't think he is top 10 of all time but he unfortunately will never be a Heavy Weight Champ. Just the Nature of the Beast.

Let the Controversy Begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeta Pi Never Die!!!!!!!!!

Hey, whatever, Flair ripped off his name. Now he needs to retire. He was amusing in WCW, but it is old now. Just like him(and I'm no spring chicken) Papa T

Hey Looney this is Tyson. Ok here is my arguments to your responses.Well first off, yes Goldberg didn't stay around the WWE for awhile, but most people in the WCW didn't want to come over to the WWE to wrestle under McMahon. Goldberg has never been beat fair and square, there has always been cheating involved. Now for Randy Orton, the kid is the youngest WWE champion ever. He has much passion, for the sport. I know he hasn't been around long but he's already beat many supestars even you had on your top 10 list. Rey Mysterio, hey I know he's little and will never be the champion, but that kid has a lot of heart. He's beat people like the Big Show, Kevin Nash, and he never backs down to anyone. Kevin Nash, back when he started as Diesel in WWF, he was pretty good. He held the title several times. Even in WCW he was a very powerful force. Also Nash is still wrestling right now in the independent league that Sting, Jeff Jaret, Jeff Hardy, and even Scott Hall are in. Sometimes you got to give people credit for there heart and determination, not for how many times they hold the title. For instance Triple H, a good wrestler yes, but not a fair one. He always has to have help to win his matches and to keep the title. If it wasn't for Evolution he wouldn't have the title right now, Edge would. Love you Looney, but people like Flare need to retire. He in a Icon yes, but every match he's had for awhile he's never won. Flare should call it quits and just be a mentor to younger talent that want to someday be in his shoes.
