Favourite Old School wrestler.

Mine is Rowdy Roddy Piper.

I always liked him, much better as a heal than a face.

I wish he'd retired about 10 years ago.

none of those guys are really "old skool"

mine would be Don Muraco, Ricky Steamboat, Terry Funk, Harley Race, Missing Link, Moondog Spot

The oldest wrestling i've ever really seen is like 1987/1988 and very little at that... so the guys I picked are pretty old school for me this is like early '90s etc. whcich i've seen a fair amount.

Of the older guys I've seen, I like Steamboat, Andre, Savage, Harley Race, and the Funker to name a few.

One of the best gimicks ever.

He used to ask for the 5 count when he'd finished the 3, so it was really like a 10 count.

Didn't he hold the record for the fastest pin once?

used to own it. He "had" the record after beating SD jones in WM1. they said it was 9 secs (more like 15 or so)
Uncle Elmer beat the record in about 1990 or so when he won in 6 secs.
I am not sure if it still exists today.

I thought someone did it in "3 seconds".

they may have. There have been some dodgy matches recently with wrestlers falling down and being pinned (storyline based) so i dont know what the record is today.
