Awesome man, me too! Except mine actually had to be sewn on the side. When I was like 4 I had it on, I ripped it like Hogan only to figure out what I actually did to my shirt and cried my eyes out. Still have the shirt in my drawer.

Those are going to be collectors items 20 years from now. Don't throw it out

All-time is definitely the Rock (great entertainer, great poise in the ring, and a damn good heel when he was starting to blow up)

Right now im really liking MVP for similar reasons as well as Kofi Kingston

fav tag team of all time were all variations of the guerreros back in the old WWA, truly a treat to watch.

Oh don't worry man, I know. I still have Warrior, Hogan and Rockers posters in perfect condition, laminated. The Warrior one is actually made of cloth, its sick. I still have all the action figures, and all every event on VHS, plus a couple of other home video events.

All of my action figures are in a storage room right now. I have about 200 of them, plus a lot of props and PPV rings. I used to bring them over to my friend's house and we'd have huge Battle Royal's, that lasted like 4 hours at a time.

I used to do the same, but then when I reach 12 or 13 years old, my mother gave them all away to her friends' sons

The ring, cage, all the wrestlers, and even Miss Elizabeth

There's one shoot interview with him talking about his childhood and it's sooo messed up.

"Road Dogg" Jesse James. I loved his pre-DX New Age Outlaws stuff. Fantastic talker and a heat machine. He's really underrated with helping kick start the Attitude Era in the fall of 1997.

the only guy I'm a fan of CURRENTLY(I don't really watch consistently anymore, just tune in once in a while..been a few years) is Santino Marella..star in the making..

all-time..

Scott Hall would probably be #1..then there's no order, just a lot of guys..Bam Bam, Mr.Perfect, Macho Man, Bret Hart, Super Crazy, Undertaker, Yokozuna..

Thx dude, wrestling in the 80's was just as exciting as Lakers basketball for me. Even though the wrestlers are more athletic and have more sophisticated plots and personas now, nothing beats 80's rasslin.

For sure. I haven't watched wrestling in the longest time; this is the first Wrestlemania and Summerslam I've ever missed. It's sad, but the product is **** now.

My first ever "favourite" wrestler was Dusty Rhodes. His moves were really lame but he was all about the entertainment (ie, the three jabs, spinning of the fists followed by a 4th jab thing). He was also surprisingly agile for a fat guy,

My all-time favourite wrestlers have to be The Ultimate Warrior and Texas Tornado (Terry Von Erich). Neither was a great technical wrestler (Ultimate Warrior might be in the top 5 worst wrestlers of all-time) but UW had a ton of energy and so many flashy colours and tassles that to a young kid, he was just awesome. Texas Tornado had similar, but not as flashy attire, but the biggest draw about him was how easy his finishing moves were to re-create in the school yard (the Von Erich Claw and the Tornado punch). I'm saddened to see that one of these guys is a complete nut job and the other one killed himself at the peak of his career.

My favourite tag tean of all-time would have to be the Legion of Doom. Everything they did was about power. Their rivalry with Demolition is about as good as it gets tag tean-wise.

When I watch classic wrestling nowadays. My favourite guy to watch is Jake the Snake Roberts. He never had the typical wrestler's body (he was lanky and not defined) but every move he performed looked like it would hurt like hell. His gimmick was cool. Some stroy lines with him were cool too (ie, getting blinded by the model Rick Martel's bottle of "arrogance").

I stopped watching wrestling in 1996 and only started peeking at it every once in a while since 2000 or so. The only "modern guys that caught my eye a bit were The Rock, because of his work on the mic, and Brock Lesnar, because he's probably the best all-around athlete I've ever seen wrestle.

Of active guys, the only one I kind of enjoy watching is the big russian guy.

Warrior (Who can forget him being clubbed by the septor )
