Choose A Wrestler From Any Era

[InFlames]

If you could pick one wrestler from any era, who remained the same age/fitness forever and could compete today, who would you choose?

After some thought, I think I would select Kevin Nash. I know his physical wrestling abilities were limited, however I believe his mic skills/charisma are versatile enough to be relevant in the current era. I must admit, I wasn't able to see a lot of his post-WCW TNA stuff due to being overseas at the time but He was able to amp up a feud very well whether in a single or tag team event and the crowd always seemed so responsive. I also think his gimmick could be adjusted to suit the changing environment. From Vinnie Vegas to Diesel lol

Keen to hear what you guys think / who you would pick.

I'd probably go with Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

I just think his charisma and in ring psychology would help him dominate the current roster, He could have a great feuds with Wyatt, Cena, Reigns. Hell I could imagine him single handedly destroying The New Day.

Steve Austin pre broken neck.

 

[Parra Pride]

2004 - onwards Eddie Guerrero. What I wouldn't give to see him lying, cheating and stealing his way to the WWEWHC.

Randy Savage. The guy played his character magnificently... true intensity, and in ring, what a performer. To see the brilliance of the guy there's a few matches I recommend, the obvious gold standard with Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3 which was quite easily match of the night, carrying the Ultimate Warrior to an outstanding retirement match at Wrestlemania 7 from memory, and his match in 1997 from memory against Diamond Dallas Page. To top it off, his chemistry with Miss Elizabeth was brilliant, the soft spoken gentle beauty with the rugged madman.

Randy Savage for me.

Stone Cold Steve Austin. There have been many great wrestlers, there have been many great talkers, Steve Austin was the best at meshing the 2 and he had the best character of all time and was the biggest star in the biggest boom period in wrestlings history.

+1

When Eddie was on that roll it got me back into wrestling. After he passed I just stopped watching.

No one cut promo better than the rock. Stone cold was more of a hell raising, daring SOB who stood up to the tyrant Vince mcmahon, but the rock is quite easily the best I've ever seen cut a promo.

 

[Butto]

Ohh yeah macho man randy savage

 

[redvscotty]

Mankind. Not Cactus, not Dude, not Mick, but Mankind.

Early Mankind, but after the infamous HiAC.

You're wrong.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Nigel McGuiness / Desmond Wolfe. If it wasn't for his private health issues, he could of been the man to challenge The Man.

Stone Cold was better because you believed everything he said, IMO. Rick was funny, but Austin was legit.

 

[steggz]

Michaels. If possible, I'd mesh his mic skills from the 00's with his physical condition pre-back issues

 

[Special K]

Razor Ramon would be perfect to go against Cena in today's PG WWE.

 

[WellsNZ]

Stone Cold, absolutely zero doubt about it.

Raven is my favourite ever, but if prime Stone Cold was back full-time Raw instantly becomes must watch TV again.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Samoa Joe, circa 2005. Don't let him speak, let his brutality do the talking.

CM Punk circa 2005...as a heel...

Austin circa 1997 pre-Summerslam...

Rick Rude, 88-94...

Raven, 1995-1998 (even his early WCW stuff I liked)...

The Dudley Boyz 1995-1999, the ECW run...

Taz, 1995-1999.

RVD, 2000.

Rey Misterio, jr. 1995-1998.

Out of left field - Test.

I always thought he was a good big man, and I reckon in today's environment, he'd thrive.

Agree with Test, definately.

I always like Matt Morgan in TNA but then stopped watching so I lost track of his progress, then he was gone completely
