Wrestling at the Con 09'......

Coolest wrestlers to meet were .....

George Steele and Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase...heels that were really cool guys to a young fan

Yeah but in the scheme of thing now...in hindsight...Warrior is just a footnote in WWF history whereas Hogan's influence is still being felt today. He could've been the true 2nd coming and carried the company through the next post-Hogan phase. But that chore inevitably went to freakin' Bret Hart and then later Stone Cold, The Rock, etc. But it could've been ALL Warrior if not for his greed.

yeah he could've been much bigger.But still even then,everyone and anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows who the Warrior is.I went to a WWE show last year and I wore my Warrior shirt,everyone saying something about it

Most snotty, stuck-up wrestler I ever met was Brett Hart.
Worst person to meet, EVER.

Coolest wrestlers to meet were ......

Tito Santana
Axe
King Kong Bundy
Beefcake

I agree about King Kong,great guy but the nicest ever was Piper for me

I haven't been able to watch wrestling for years. I miss the old guys. With a few notable exceptions - like Brett Hart, who could suck the life out of a room full of cats - the old school guys were fun. Call me if there's ever a second coming of Brutus Beefcake or the Bushwackers or Rowdy Roddy etc. The stuff on now is way more filth than fun. Get off my lawn.........

^ Agreed....I haven't watched wrestling regularly for about 7 years now...I trace it back to the roster split/"brand extension" in 2002...it never set well with me and I lost interest in a lot of the new guys. I think by that point I was no longer in the demographic group they were catering to. I think I tune in for about 10 minutes once a year around Wrestlemania to see what's up but nothing is grabbing me back to be a fulltime viewer anymore.

It wasn't 'til Scott started juicin' and doing a Superstar Graham riff that people started to take notice.

I disagree there. The Steiner Brothers were one of the biggest tag teams in the world for several years running; the mulleted Scott Steiner was one of the first American wrestlers to do a hurracarana, and that certainly attracted a ton of attention.

He was pretty big back then, too.

i think steiner could of been one of the biggest stars of the late 90's if wcw used him right.
