Favorite Old School WWF Wrestler

Kolido

Nasty boys had a great theme tune and a good look but their feuds were nothing great. Demolition were a bit before my time but with there run, I think they deserve to go through this round

Demolition

Demolition loved the whole metal thing going on with the theme and loved when they were in the ring.

I’d say some of the people here could be carbon dated for age using just their picks on this.

Nasty Boys for me,

was never into demolition and the NB had some good brawls

Igotadose

Boys. In the house with their tune. Great moves

Omackeral

Time limit expires and it's Nasty Boys going through. Hang on for the next bout.

Yokozuna



Land of the Rising Sun 589lbs


VS


Hulk Hogan



Venice Beach, California 302lbs

Yoko. He was athletic for a big man and although he put on weight(more than he had already I should add) I always liked the gimmick. So that and I hate hulk hogan but more so because I liked yoko more.

Late to the party here.

Hulk for me. Iconic, totally representative of the period. Yeah, Terry Bollea is a piece of excrement mostly, but damn if the Hulkster wasn't the most over wrestler, possibly ever. His re-invention of his Character in the nWo was amazing also, nobody thought he could be a heel.

Igotadose

Hulkster. Say your prayers and take your vitamins. His appearance in Rocky II made his career and at the same time, the (then) WWF.

Drop the leg!

salmocab

Yokozuna mainly for not being Hogan.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Hulk Hogan, because he was the face of the WWF when I was a young'un and because he was the star of the greatest film that nobody remembers and I can't find anywhere to the point I think I imagined it altogether... Mr. Nanny!

Wasn’t he also in thunder in paradise about a high tech boat? It was garbage

I was an ultimate warrior fan so I'm voting Yokozuna!

Very unlike you Gerry. You're normally straight in there.

Hopefully this match up is like king of the ring 1993.

Hogan,

some of hisJapan stuff is great

Yoko was a great character when he debuted and probably won the title as a FU to the steroid scandal at the time. He was usually gassed by the he got to the ring and had about 3 moves.

Hogan, love him or hate him, was the face of the WWF for a good 10 years, headlining every PPV in that time. In ring, he wasn't much better than yoko, but as a character, he wins this round easily.

HULKSTER

Chuck Noland

Hogan here... He was THE WWF for a long time

The Hulkster.

He was a big reason why wrestling became the force that it did. Yoko was a good worker for his size, and a gent by all accounts, but how many of us were rooting for Yoko back in the 90s when he and Hogan faced off?

Late to the party here, but it's unfortunate to see my man Jake Roberts get run over worse than he did v Austin at KOTR 96, or against Taker at WM8.

Makes complete sense of course, no one was beating The Rock in Round 1 IMO, but Jake's best performances were a huge influence on gimmick and ring psychology in modern pro wrestling, even to The Rock.

Sleep well, sweet prince.

Thankfully not! Sorry, that was in relation to him getting absolutely mauled in Round 1 here.

That's brilliant, thanks. Great to see him still nailing a promo in 2020. Surreal too.

Hogan progresses but good fight from Yokozuna. Two regular matches left while I'll be doing shortly and then the Last Chance Battle Royal after that so start thinking of some of your favorites for nomination who may not have made it into the automatic qualifiers.
