    Ric Flair. Woo!
    Legend, as popular as the Hulkster at the same time.

    I think Ric Flair due to the mark he has made on the business in general. He also doesn't get much credit for his nWo/Vince "We're Partners" run and the sneaky manager of Triple H. He has always been very good and entertaining, despite being in the game for such a long time.

    Ric Flair. He put arses in seats and money in pockets. Owen was just hitting his prime when he died.

    Macho king randy savage and queen Sherri.

    Extra credit for (allegedly) tupping a young Steph. Vince never forgave him.

    Randy Savage is my pick here - a classic main event wrestler who had a lot of charisma and was able to pull off his gimmick quite well.

    Bushwhackers served a purpose, as a comedic duo, but they don't quite stack up against a character like Savage.

    Oh tough one loved the bush whackers but macho man was a huge character at the time, along with Elizabeth the First Lady of wrestling if I remember right.

    Macho Man. Should make the final 4 here. A huge star, crossed over to films (first best Spider-Man movie), Miss Elizabeth probably the first woman manager in the WWF (I could easily be wrong on that.) Great ring skills, a big-time 'high flyer.'

    The Bushwhackers showed up when "Crocodile Dundee" was a hit. Not a lot more than a comedy act

    Gotta be Randy Savage, easily one of the biggest names of WWF back in the day.

    Macho king easy! He was more successful with titles in WCW but loved him more in WWF! The early Raws are some of my fav memories of him

    Million dollar man, loved his character. Vince told him that that’s the character he’d of picked if he could. He was given cash to tip outrageously when he was on the road.
    He was my favourite of all time.

    This is a tough one. I'm assuming 'Mankind' includes Mick Foley in general, and not just that particular Mankind character?

    But for me it has to be Mankind. His run as Commissioner alone makes him a winner. One of the funniest characters to ever grace the ring, and although Di'biase's promos were fantastic, Foley could really make you sit back and take notice when he wanted to.

    Mankind.

    He could do menacing heel as well as he could do lovable goof. More memorable matches as well.
    Ted was a great heel but never evolved the character and his matches never blew me away

    Mankind wins it 5-2. That brings us to the halfway point of the first round. I'll pick this up tomorrow and we might get a few more freaks on board with us :D
