Andre easy choice!

salmocab · 23-03-2020 9:02pm

Andre the giant, just for him bopping people on the head

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-03-2020 9:03pm

Andre obviously, because The Princess Bride as well as all the amazing Wrestling.

Andre wins this one, just too much power for papa

Loughc · 23-03-2020 9:08pm

Andre the Giant. A giant of a man and a giant of a wrestler.

eldamo · 23-03-2020 9:11pm

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?

jay1988 · 23-03-2020 9:12pm

Loved Papa Shango but Andre all the way in this one, too much power.

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

Ric Flair

Charlotte, North Carolina 243lbs

VS

Owen Hart

Calgary, Alberta, Canada 227lbs

Igotadose · 23-03-2020 9:22pm

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

eldamo · 23-03-2020 9:22pm

I’m really sorry Owen, but it has to be the nature boy ric flair wooooooo!

(This hurt me)

23-03-2020 9:22pm

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.

Chuck Noland · 23-03-2020 9:22pm

Owen, Wooo, to be the man Woo you gotta beat the Man, Woo.

Flair here no question! One of the best ever and back around the time of the picture he was a WWF Superstar before their were Superstars and just good old Wrestkers

Ric Flair

salmocab · 23-03-2020 9:23pm

The ravishing one
Edit ignore me I’m a moron.

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

Omackeral · 23-03-2020 9:37pm

Flair wins very handily. Stay tuned for match number 7

Omackeral · 23-03-2020 9:43pm

''Macho Man'' Randy Savage

Sarasota, Florida 262 lbs

VS

The Bushwhackers

New Zealand 296lbs

eldamo · 23-03-2020 9:45pm

Macho king randy savage and queen Sherri.

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

23-03-2020 9:46pm

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.

salmocab · 23-03-2020 9:46pm

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.

Igotadose · 23-03-2020 9:49pm

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

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-03-2020 9:49pm

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

robinbird · 23-03-2020 9:52pm

Randy Savage.

Chuck Noland · 23-03-2020 10:00pm

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

Sephiroth_dude · 23-03-2020 10:01pm

Randy Savage

Notmything · 23-03-2020 10:08pm

Macho man,for his feud with Ricky the dragon steamboat. Never forget dropping on him with the bell

Omackeral · 23-03-2020 10:14pm

Randy Savages the Bushwhackers on his own. Next bout coming up shortly.

Omackeral · 23-03-2020 10:20pm

''Million Dollar Man'' Ted DiBiase

Various Seasonal Residences 260lbs

VS

Mankind

Long Island, New York 287lbs

23-03-2020 10:22pm

Mankind. More iconic moments for me.

jay1988 · 23-03-2020 10:23pm

Toughest one yet but i'll go with a sneaky DiBiase win, getting the pin while holding the shorts :pac: his win at all costs attitude being the only thing separating them.

salmocab · 23-03-2020 10:24pm

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.

23-03-2020 10:27pm

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.

Chuck Noland · 23-03-2020 10:29pm

Mick Foley... I mean Dude Love... I mean Cactus Jack... I mean Mankind is one of my favorite characters ever!

Have a nice day!!!

PsychoPete · 23-03-2020 10:29pm

Mankind, anyone that done the mad sh!t he done gets my vote

ceegee · 23-03-2020 10:35pm

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

Omackeral · 23-03-2020 10:36pm

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

eldamo · 23-03-2020 10:39pm

I'd almost go Ted do biase just for his intro music and general douche baggery, but no

Mankind it is, he was a nutter. Great teamwork with Mr socko.

Him and the rock seem like a completely different generation to the rest to be honest though. Maybe there are more attitude era guys coming up.

Cheers but I’ll be honest million dollar man crashing out so early has put me over the edge. You can all expect a visit from Virgil.

Yeah I'd agree in a sense. I said if they had their most iconic moments in the 90's that would suffice for inclusion but I defo take your point.

Rikand · 23-03-2020 10:49pm

Hopefully we see Bob Backlund show up. His 60+ minute stint in a royal rumble in the early 90s is one of my favourite moments of wrestling history. You were so rooting for him to win it but then Yoko lined him up and you knew he was done for lol

PsychoPete · 23-03-2020 10:53pm

I remember No Way Out in 00 when Cactus Jack went through the hell in a cell then the ring, my little 7 year old brain couldn't handle that much excitement

Spoiler alert, I was just about to get around to watching that one. Jeese, can't imagine rooting for backlund.

sbs2010 · 23-03-2020 11:44pm

I hope Junkyard Dog shows up.
I'm pretty sure he was part dog.

Wow, I remember reading years later that Yoko was Samoan.

10 year old me never questioned his authentic Japaneseness.

Seeing him now, he is rikishi after eating a few more pies.

Wow.
