Favorite Old School WWF Wrestler

[Deleted User]

I've run similar tournaments on the Pro Wrestling forum on boards but thought I might give it a wee go here and get a bit of nostalgia going. Nowadays, the main show in town in called WWE but many remember fondly the older days of the WWF with mad character and acts.

I've picked 30 of the best acts from the 80's and 90's and will pair them off in matches where you have to vote for your favourite. There will be a Last Chance Battle Royal then where you can nominate any favouites that you feel have missed out to give them a chance too!

The Honky Tonk Man

The Undertaker

Death Valley 309lbs

Also Starring LeVar Burton

My knowledge of Wrestling is not extensive by any means, but this is probably the era I'm most familiar with, so I'll vote in the rounds where I have a clear favourite.

Gotta be The Undertaker for this one, even if you've never watched a wrestling match in your life, everyone has heard of The Undertaker. He's legendary.

Electric Nitwit

The Undertaker wins this entire tournament, surely?! The streak, the entrance chimes, the coffins, the tombstone, Paul Bearer, even the terrible biker period was better than a lot of wrestlers

Darksoul

Undertaker win: rarely loses and goes on winning streaks, absolutely no contest here in all fairness.

Chuck Noland

Has to be The Taker. HTM was good on his day but Taker was so interesting and intriguing back then! Proper lived the gimmick too

I'm shocked a guy called Darksoul likes the Undertaker :eek:

Undertaker for the win

physically superior in this matchup and also has the mental advantage with his manager by his side

Notmything

Undertaker, he actually had you believe his backstory

Undertaker wins 5-0, another streak in the works maybe. Next match is coming up in a few and will be interesting.

RobbingBandit

Undertaker with Paul Bearer and The Urn wins hands down

American Badass Undertaker though Honky Tonk Man could take him definitely

''Rowdy'' Roddy Piper

Glasgow, Scotland 230lbs

VS

Bret ''Hitman'' Hart

Calgary, Alberta, Canada 235lbs

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Rowdy Roddy Piper because Hell Comes To Frogtown!

Darksoul

Bret the hitman win: to me he was technically the best wrestler of all time in my eyes. Sharpshooter finish easy!

Electric Nitwit

Bret ''Hitman'' Hart

Let's right the wrong of the Montreal Screwjob!

jay1988

Bret Hart for me, personally my favourite wrestler of all time, excellent technically and at the top of the industry for a long time, surely one of the favs for the entire tournament.

Very close even match here between Hart and Piper

Bret Hart for the win as he is the excellence of execution

theunforgiven

Loved Roddy Piper but it has to be The Hitman, brilliant tag team with Jim the Anvil Neidhart (spl) also.

The Hitman wins via submission with a score of 5-1

[Deleted User]

Bret 'Hitman' Hart for me, too. Him and Piper are two completely different style of wrestlers and personalities, but I think I quite liked Bret's cleaner image, and crisper entrance, theme, wrestling style, etc.

An overall better wrestler (perhaps not a better entertainer, though).

The Rock

Miami, Florida 260lbs

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The Rock because its The Rock, obviously. What more of a reason do I need here.

The Rock for getting himself over with everyone, despite having the worst finisher in wrestling. Most electrifying move in sports entertainment my arșe!

(I'll have more genuine reasons in later rounds!)

theunforgiven

The Rock just brought things to a whole other level. I used to be so freaked out that someone could bring a snake to a wrestling match ðŸ˜‚...and I loved the DDT...but it has to be the Rock...a clear cut decision as you could get I'd say.
