Favorite Old School WWF Wrestler

Kolido

Bulldog was a great wrestler but mankinds matches and fueds are more memorable.

Mankind

Omackeral

Clean sweep for Mrs Foley's baby boy.

Stone Cold knocked out by Macho Man?




Sorry, Mack, your tournament has lost all credibility.

Omackeral

Kane



Parts Unknown 323lbs


VS


Shawn Michaels



San Antonio, Texas 225lbs

Unlike the Macho Men, I am capable of being objective.

Shawn Michaels - Greatest in ring worker of all time.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Shawn Michaels, because just look at the pout in that photo... it's majestic.

Wuff Wuff

HBK

Iconic 90s star

Sultan of Bling

HBK

The moves, the hair, the looks, the body.

I'm humble enough to admit if it came to a beauty contest he would come a very very close second to me.

Michaels, sorry Kane.

You could say a lot of positive things about HBK's career, but I loved the fact that he let Stone Cold get the super clean win over him at WM14.

Necro

I really wanna vote for Kane

So I will.

His debut was just epic. One of the great big men workers, arguably the best.

Much as i like Kane, has to be HBK, Mr Wrestlemania. Kane is super athletic for his size however HBK is also the same and where HBK pips Kane is in the charisma department.

Heel or Face, HBK just edges above Kane imo.

Less of a vote for Kane than a vote against hbk.

I still haven't forgiven him for breaking up the rockers.


ITS STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!

Big red machine.

Shawn Michael's, he was a show man!

I didn't see this thread til just now.

Don't suppose tatanka made the list?

The Rockers.
Jannetty through the mirror.
Feud with the Hitman, Iron Man Match,
Feud with Ramon, Ladder Matches.
DX.
WM matches with Taker.

Has to be Michaels.

HBK especially for hitting Vince with that sweet chin music

Michaels. SOrry Kane, but some of the most hilarious moments in WWE were from Michaels (with Triple H).

I miss the old WWE. Haven't watched it in over a decade cos it got so boring. I do like watching nostalgic videos though

Kolido

Shawn had it all and deserves to go through and will. However I was never a fan of his. Kane gets my vote.

Omackeral

Kane feels some Sweet Chin Music as HBK cruises into the semi finals!

He was an entrant in the Last Chance Battle Royal in Round 1. Didn't make it out of that though.

Good point. He was never my favourite wrestler, much like The Rock, but still someone I liked and respect and who provided serious entertainment through his matches and promos.

Looking back over my time watching wrestling, my definitive favourites from about 1989 to 2002 were Jake Roberts---Bret Hart---Steve Austin.

Would be a Kane vote for me. He has become stagnant over the last couple of years, but HBK's D-X re-runs with Triple H weren't exactly a shining light on his career, either.

Kane unmasking and the few months that followed it was fantastically done, too.

Semi Final stage lads. Each match will have a 60 minute time limit, most decisions wins. Our first match is a doozy and two wrestlers who know each other very well, have had two of the best careers ever and have a genuine claim to being the best of all time.

The Undertaker



Vs

Shawn Michaels

Necro

Ahahaa... this could easily be the final.

Undertaker.

Wrestlemania Streak, taking a gimmick that should have been awful and making a legendary career out of it

Beat Michaels twice in that streak, don't think the result changes now...

Igotadose

Taker. Great showmanship, led the transition from brawlers in tights to spectacles

Ah feck it, that's a tough one.

I just think that Taker is formidable, his longevity being a big part of that.

He narrowly wins this one for me with some outside interference from Paul Bearer.

Definitely Undertaker for me. His character was great. It's a pity he didn't stay retired, and I'd argue he gave the streak to the wrong person, but those are nit-picking flaws in a long, great career.

Many weren't fond of the 'American Bad Ass' but I thought it was a great period for him - especially as it was happening at a time when 'Deadman' Undertaker would have been very out of place.

Hard to call again but it's Taker for me. Commitment never wavered, was given one of the best gimmicks ever and ran with it.

Kolido

Either could win this and would be a fitting champion. Both great careers, but when it boils down to who I perfer, Taker every day.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Tough call, but gonna go with Shawn Michaels, to keep things interesting, as I think Undertaker is probably the favourite in this match-up, but I'm an agent of chaos and would rather see the underdog of the pairing go through and win the whole thing in the final.

Deadman all the way in this bout, somehow always had the stamina to outlast HBK even with age and injury disadvantage.
