Randy Savage
Hogan

The Warrior wa always the most electrifying personality. I remember when he exploded on the scene. It was a great time to be a wrestling fan every Saturday night!

agreed, it was a fun time...too bad they got away from that

Mr. Perfect or Sid Justice for me.

yea Mr. Perfect was one of the best ever..both in the ring and his bad guy image..He wasn't the biggest or anywhere near it but man could he make you believe he could hang with the best of them

that's what made him so good in my opinion

How many fans of the '80s NWA here? I use to watch them more than WWF at the time.

My Dad Took me to 2 WWF Events when I was 9 ... then 10.
The Warrior was at 1 of em. It was a month or so after he got the Championship Belt and Beat Hogan. I think he was biggest then. When you are 10 ...., He is Real Damn Big !. I was about 7 rows back from the ring. This Guy Ran all the way down ofcourse ..... , I was on the end chair . It felt like a Mac Truck barely missed you ...., then he Jumps in the Ring, starts shaking the Ropes ...., And we Felt the Wind of the Ropes Whipping ... But when your 10 ...., All these guys are probably just so larger than life, .... But the Physicalness of the Warrior..., was like Holy ****.

I envy that, I never got to see him wrestle..My parents never believed in going to live events

ou will see I very much liked stables/tag teams

1-"Nature Boy" Ric Flair:
2-"Macho Man: Randy Savage
3-The Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane combo)
4-The Road Warriors
5-The Fabulous Freebrids
6-Four Horsemen (Barry Windham version was my favorite, unfortunately cut short)
7-Hart Foundation
8-Mr. Perfect
9-Brusier Brody
10-Terry Funk

Will admit I liked Hogan into my early teens but that changed when I hit the mid teens.

Nice seeing Terry Funk on the list. He had some good bouts with Flair to.

Who was the really tall guy that wore a fake flash suit ?

I think he was billed as even taller than Andre.

I can't think of his name for nothing
