favourite wrestlers

woosaysdan

who was your favourite wrestler when you were growing up? for me it has to be bret the hitman hart, who is it for ye? im not going to post a poll as there is soo many options

Adeptus Titanicus

The Ultimate Warrior :cool:

Although reading this and this makes him seem kinda lame. Oh well, he was cool when I was a kid

Makaveli

Legion of Doom were my favourite tag team.
I always liked Jake the Snake Roberts.

Adeptus Titanicus

I was gonna say Jake the Snake myself! That whole era with the Honkytonk Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jesse Ventura, Sgt Slaughter etc was pretty entertaining

smuckers

I had many, my early faves were Randy Savage (and Elizibeth by his side) and Hitman ( when he wasn't that popular. Then it was Ultimate Warrior, the banter with the lovely Sherry was great. My bros' fave was Super Fly Jimmy Snukka. Then when The Undertaker came on the scene I switched to him, who can forget Giant Gonzalez entering in one Royal Rumble, man he was a monster.
My fave tag team were Demolition men, I turned off when Vince Mcmahon decided to go into the ring. One of fave finishing moves was Mr Perfect, god rest his soul and Rick Martini.

Nuttzz

The million dollar man, he would knock people out and virgal (?) his body guard would give him green backs to stick into his mouth

Closely followed by The Undertaker circa 90-91.

WWF...was the best thing ever on Sky 1. I went to see it one year in the Point.

My all time favourites were the Bush Wackers...they had that crazy dance thing that they used to do. Bret Hart was a legend too - always wanted a pair of those sun glasses. Earthquake, TugBoat, I remember them all!

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.

Macho Man Randy Savage.
"Ooooh YeaH!" (plus shaky hand in the air thingy.)

i'm certain that the writers for the simpsons ripped him off when they created Duff Man.

Legion of Doom were the best tag team. def, savage shoulder pads.

DannyAu-Yeung

Bret the Hitman Hart, Brithish Bull Dog and The Dragon Ricky Steamboat were my favs.:D

TCamen

Damn, thought I'd be the first to throw in British Bulldog

What about Andre the Giant or Roddy Piper or The Mountie?

I still remember going to see Wrestlemanie tour thingie in the Point-- I *think* there's still a t-shirt with the tour dates somewhere @ home hehe.

SoupyNorman

I remember watching WWF on saturday mornings on sky 1 after "the fun factory", before sky sports was ever in existence!

"rowdy" roddy piper was a ledgend

i remember the ultimate warrior firghting the undertaker, the undertaker put the ultimate warrior in a coffin and sealed it. i got fairly frightened when people from backstage ran out and started to drill airholes into the coffin, for the next 5 years nobody could ever convince me it was fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to hate the "filler" fights when a nobody would fight a proper wrestler and the proper wrestler would always start losing and then the crowds chants would revive him and proceed to make mincemeat outta the skinny white guy in the blue spandex.
