    The Rock for me, hugely popular, completely changed the game when it came to mic work and had some classic rivalries over the years, Austin, Foley etc.

    HBK hands down for me, again an amazing in ring performer and probably the greatest entrance song of all time! DX and some legendary matches.

    Easy victory for HBK even if he did break my young heart by putting Marty Janetti through the barbershop window :(

    Mr Perfect for me here in a very close match.
    Probably the best technical wrestler of the era and had all the moves.
    Great thread again Omackeral.

    Mr. Perfect. Michaels always seemed disinterested almost in wrestling, where Perfect loved to show off his abilities. Not even close in my book.

    hacksaw job duggan cause he was a bit mad

    but c'mon lads, the Hulkster :D just saw the A team the other week with him in it.....he was brutal, mind you it all was a bit brutal but I was about 10 when it was on and I loved it :)
    the WWF would have been nothing without him, he was the shows first big ticket star and he was loved and because of him, it grew to the massive heights that it did back in the 80's

    HBK for me. His 2002 run onwards was arguably better than his earlier run. And his taker matches pure classics.

    Completely missed my own 1 hour time limit. Shawn Michaels was leading at the 60 minute mark so he progresses! Stay tuned for next match...

    Andre clearly, disgusted I missed the mr perfect one, Hbk was a sham, loved mr perfect spitting out his gum and punching in the air.

    Disappointing that the great in ring psychologist jake Roberts lost to the crock too.

    Jake Roberts vs Rick the model Martel was amazing.

    Do like the rock as an actor but hated him in ring, kurt angle was by far my favourite of that era.

    Am I allowed vote or do I have to have registered first?

    Everyone welcome. Stay tuned for next match. Kurt Angle was really 2000's though so he prop won't feature.
