Probably needs someone friend the 60s/70s but I don't know how to exclude those 4 |
|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:24 PM Author: crawly giraffe you can take out John Cena and add in Hogan on my mt. rushmore.
Vince is the greatest promoter of all time, but he was never the biggest draw.
I guess I'm basing my Mt. Rushmore on drawing power and the top four draws in the history of the business would be Hulk, Stone Cold, The Rock, and Roman Reigns.

|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:28 PM Author: cyan genital piercing field You can't write the story of pro wrestling without Vince, Hogan, or flair. I think Austin is the best of the rest, though if the rock had committed 100% he'd probably be in.
Reigns/Cena are fine rasslers, and I personally love Cena in his other roles, but they are not essential to the history of wrestling like the others |
|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:31 PM Author: crawly giraffe Ric Flair is grossly overrated in terms of his drawing power.
I disagree w/re to Reings -- he's taken pro-wrestling to its greatest heights and is largely responsible for WWE's current 10 billion dollar valuation.
It was on the shoulders of the Rock and Stone Cold and Hogan and modern pro wrestling is vince's creation -- but Reigns is arguably the biggest draw of all time in terms of dollars and eyeballs on the product. |
|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:37 PM Author: cyan genital piercing field I understand your love for reigns, I just don't think he's as important as flair.
Just like Bonds and Clemens wouldn't be on my MLB Rushmore (dgaf about roids), because they weren't more important than Mays and Cy Young (or W. Johnson or Mathewson) even though they were better players |
|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:46 PM Author: crawly giraffe Flair is one of the best for sure, but, if there were no ric flair-- pro wrestling would still be what it is today.
I can't imagine pro wrestling without Hogan, Rock, Stone Cold, Cena, and Reigns |
|
Date: July 7th, 2024 4:52 PM Author: cyan genital piercing field I was most into pro wrestling during the height of stone cold and the rock. They're my two favorite all timers, easily. But I think you need to pick one from that era.
Maybe you have a point about flair but he was big for so fucking long and kept the non-wwf segment alive for decades almost singlehandedly.
IDK how you can not include Vince. He should probably be the first and easiest choice. |

Cena was supercena and could beat anyone, but it always seemed like he was playing the same sport as everyone else
Reigns level of dominance was sustained for so long that they made a backup world title as a consolation prize for the guys with no chance of even touching Reign's title.
Cena was Lebron James. Reigns was Michael Jordan. |

Date: July 7th, 2024 4:36 PM Author: Bonkers mediation Replace Cena and Reigns with Hogan and Flair.
My personal:
(1) HBK: Best in-ring performer of all-time. His portfolio of great matches is unparalleled.
(2) Undertaker: Longevity, character (and continuous reinvention of it to keep it fresh), and severely underrated in-ring ability. Gets a major bump for being in the greatest match of all-time, Taker vs. HBK WM25.
(3) Bret Hart: The epitome of a professional wrestler and easily the best technical wrestler of all-time. Would have rivaled HBK for best ever had Goldberg not prematurely ended his career.
(4) Rob Van Dam: To me, he's the most innovative wrestler ever. Had a major influence on an entire generation of wrestlers in a way I don't think anyone can claim. Watch any AEW, NJPW, or indie card and you will see the DNA of RVD vs. Jerry Lynn in every match.

Leaving Hogan off might be a mistake on my end -- but his star power has waned a lot.
He's responsible for the wrestling boom -- first with WWF and then his heel turn ignited WCW for a very short while.
I put John Cena ahead of him because Cena's run was longer, more sustained, and drew more money than Hogan's run. There's an entire generation of kids that will have nothing but fond memories of Cena and will never see him slumming it in TNA or mired in controversy. |

Date: July 7th, 2024 4:49 PM Author: Vibrant affirmative action goyim HBK - no one can match his in-ring ability. He was also very good on the mic, especially as a heel. Austin - charisma, mic skills are unmatched. He was also a very good wrestler before his neck injury. His match with HBK at KOTR 97 was excellent. Hogan - his best run imo was 95-00 as Hollywood Hogan. Bret Hart - in ring ability 2nd only to HBK.
