LU's Favourite Wrestler

[pennywisealfie]

The fact she did that spot at 80-odd with no hesitation in accepting when asked is amazing

yep, she was so awesome. absolute legend that did ANYTHING they asked of her. RR2000 still scars me

 

[afinalsin666]

Greatest speaker/promoter in WWE/F history without doubt. Gifted athlete too!

Austin was better. Punk was better. Vince McMahon was better.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Austin was better. Punk was better. Vince McMahon was better.

• Austin, while good, would finish by say "and that's all I got to say about that" or "and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!" - but come on, that's not much
• Punk was good while he was a face champion, but turned to shit when he was a heel - he plays the heel role very poorly, and undone everything prior to that.
• Vince has dyslexia. You can even pick up some errors and shit he's made along the way over the years.

 

[Big Pete]

It doesn't matter who you vote in.

 

[Misanthrope]

Punk's promos as a heel were almost universally better than his face promos, the exception being the pipe bomb.

 

[afinalsin666]

Punk's heel run was f**king awesome.

What? What? What? What? What? What?

Ahe heeem, a typical rock promo. "Finally.... The ROCK, has come back to [cheap pop]. The Rock says he will whoop your candy ass in front of the millions [and millions] and millions of the Rocks fans. And we all like pie. Do you like pie. Nah, the Rock thinks you probably like strudel. Do you like Strudel? It doesn't matter whether you like strudel! You need to shut your mouth, or The Rock will take you down Know Your Role Boulevard which is on the corner of Jabroni Drive and check you directly into the Smackdown Hotel! You're about to go one on one with the great one, yeah, the jabroni beating, pie eating, trail blazing, eye brow raising, the best in the present, future and past, and if yall dont like me you can kiss the peoples ass! If ya smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllll, what the rock, is cooking."

 

[Misanthrope]

I miss the Straight Edge Society. Such a missed opportunity.

 

[ek999]

I think The Rock was probably the best I have seen with the mic, the way he engaged the crowd and the energy and confidence in his delivery (if that's the right way to put it), but to say Austin is only good is ludicrous

Stuff like that used to crack me up.

Will try to do a list at some stage, Mick Foley will be my number 1 though.

And that is the greatest, AND THE ROCK MEANS THE GREATEST, most electrifying promo in all of entertainment!

 

[Big Pete]

Even the Pipe Bomb was intended to be a Heel promo so yeah, honestly can't agree with that assessment at all.

The content of Rock's promos may have been a little trite and he was often mocked for spouting 'nursery rhymes' by his peers but the way he delivered this promos were second to none. Closest thing to Ali this 'sport' ever produced.

Still didn't make my Top 15.

I read this in the Rock's voice, and may have marked out a little while doing so.

Let's be honest, who didn't mark the f**k out when this happened?

That was perhaps the greatest thing that has even happened since the world was created!

 

[Jono078]

Oh my gosh I forgot about CM Punk!

Most of my votes were for wrestlers at the top of the chain when I was right into wrestling around Late 90s to mid 2000s.

It was an awesome moment, but the greatest moment belongs to my #1.

[Misanthrope]

We've got a clear runaway leader at this point (almost 1000 points clear) despite only receiving a single first place vote.

Any bets on who it might be?

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

If we are discussing 'moments' rather than wrestlers.
I can't go past Benoit winning at Wrestlemania

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

btw.....I already want to change my list :lol:

 

[pennywisealfie]

My number 1, I didn't even really particularly like him when he was wrestling, it has only been since he has retired that I really appreciate what he did.

 

[Misanthrope]

Landslide #1, but the rest of the count-down is pretty close. Good to see some CHIKARA, TNA, ROH, and ECW guys getting some love too.
