Deleted 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 54340	There are many things about the 80's I miss, but wrestling is one of the big ones. 80's wrestling was full of great matches, wrestling characters, and unforgetable interviews. Now it is full of stupid gimmicks and too much talking. I want to know everyone's favorite wrestlers from the 80's. Here are my top ten favorite. 1) ROWDY RODDY PIPER 2) HULK HOGAN 3) RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT 4) "SUPERFLY" JIMMY SNUKA 5) AX AND SMASH (DEMOLITION) 6) JAKE "THE SNAKE" ROBERTS 7) KAMALA HAWK AND ANIMAL (THE ROAD WARRIORS) 9) BRUTUS "THE BARBER" BEEFCAKE 10) KING KONG BUNDY

That was during the '90s, and yes, those were good times indeed. I can't stand wrestling these days (though admitedly it does seem to have improved somewhat whenever I catch a glimpse; I will always be a Chris Benoit fan), but I loved it back in the '80s and '90s. Hulk, Randy, "Whooo" -- Nature Boy, Luger, Stinger, Steiners, Bret Hart, Davy Smith, Owen, et al...so cool...

Piper was and still is by far the best wrestler turned actor of all time. Plus he has the best quote: "I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum".

Remember that when I reference the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), I am referring to the WHOLE Alliance; the NWA was basically the governing body of all of the wresting promotions up to the late '80s, until Vince McMahon broke away in the mid-80s and started invading territories to take wrestlers: WWF: 1) Randy Savage - Currently wrestling in NWA-TNA, releasing bad rap albums, and calling out Hulk Hogan 2) Jake Roberts - Promising wrestling career cut before it's prime by alcohol abuse. 3) Ultimate Warrior - Couldn't wrestle to save his life (naturally, at 9 years old, I didn't care), and my GOD, is he NUTS. 4) Rick Steamboat - Known as "The Dragon" back then, he had the greatest WWF match I've ever seen at Wrestlmania 3 with Randy Savage. Runs a wrestling school now. 5) Hulk Hogan - Yeah, I liked him, but I really didn't buy into Hulkamania. Indipendent worker now, last seen in NWA-TNA. NWA/WCW: 1) Ric Flair - It doesn't get better than The Nature Boy. Period. 2) Rick Steamboat - His WWF run was nothing compared to his NWA days. His matches with Ric Flair were the greatest of all time. 3) Dusty Rhodes - One of those guys who I have a lot less respect for now that I'm "smart" to how things really were. 4) Roddy Piper - Forget his WWF days. He was better in the NWA. 5) Harley Race - I could dig heels back then, and Harley was the best.

Deleted 7 years 7 months ago Posts: 54340	I know this is an old thread, but I just got to it. Looking at everyone's list, it seems to me most of ya'll grew up with WWF. Being from the south, I grew up with NWA/WCCW. My dad's good friend was the head referee for WCCW. So, I used to go to the matches and sit in the wrestlers section. I have pictures with alot of the wrestlers. Even got to meet Andre the Giant one on one when I was about 10. My heros were: 1. The Von Erich's (esp. David) 2. Dust Rhoads 3. Nikita Koloff 4. "Iceman" King Parsons 5. Bruiser Brody 6. "Gentleman" Chris Adams 7. Ric Flair 8. The Road Warriors 9. "Georgeous" Jimmy Garvin 10. Michael "P.S." Hayes
