Favorite 1980's wrestler

[torgospizza]

My all-time favorite is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Probably followed by "The Total Package" Lex Luger.

1. Bret Hart
2. Ric Flair
3. Macho Man
4. Jake the Snake Roberts, one of the best bad guys ever.
5. Roddy Piper. Again evil to the core. just ask jimmy snuka

Mil Mascaras (although his prime was more in the 70s)...and Bret Hart.

Bret Hart by himself or with a tag team partner. I always thought he was one of the best tag team wrestlers there was always had great timing with Jim the Anvil Neidhart in the Heart Foundation.

Did anybody catch tonight's reply of Wrestlemania's match between The Rock and John Cena on NBC?

I DVR'ed it...I'm going to watch it right now.

Going a bit more obscure, that is if you weren't in the Mid South territory:

Mr. Wrestling #2
Kamala
The Rock - n - Roll Express
the "Rat Pack" of Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted Debiosi, and Dr. Death Steve Williams (bac when all three first started out)
Tony Atlas
Terry Taylor

Man, Cowboy Bill Watts' Mid South group was fantastic. So many went on to the WWF; Jake the Snake, Junkyard Dog, Butch Reed, All the otehr mentioned above with the exception of Mr. Wrestling #2 and Terry Taylor. As a kid I remember when they all started making the jump it seemed so odd because they all picked up a more flamboyant / cartoony gimmick.

Sadly I do believe my dumb *** accidentally deleted my clip with Hacksaw talking about his action figures. It was a great comment on how first and foremost they were not dolls as Butch Reed was kidding him while we were talking, and how cool it was for him to walk into a store with his daughters and them see them. I am so ****ed at myself right now its not even funny

Kamala was great, I loved it when he smacked his belly

glad to see Warrior on a couple of lists

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!

Hacksaw Jim Duggan with Junkyard Dog a close second. I have a great clip of asking Hacksaw what it was like being an action figure. I need to dig that up and get it posted.

I loved it when he gave the headbutt to his opponent from down on all fours!

Also Tito Santana, because he lives in the town near where I grew up and was always at the local mall

I think his wife still has a hair salon there
