This is probably the correct answer if every person was polled. I am not leaving Dusty Rhodes out though, so The Rock has gotta go for me. Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy, Macho Man are all top 10.

Vince44 202 Posted June 24, 2021 Hogan Flair Savage Sting ---------- Piper and Andre just miss the cut. Second biggest names in the business when it comes to mainstream appeal in the mid to late 80's. But were basically done as in ring performers shortly after. Austin and Rock were bigger stars than everyone (except for Hogan) but don't have longevity in their corner. They were only at the top for 4 years each due to injuries and acting. Hogan, Flair, Savage, and Sting were the faces of pro wrestling in their peak years in the mid 80's to late 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 815 Posted June 25, 2021 Never liked wresting, even as a kid. Probably because Dad hated it. In any case, the only wrestler I ever thought was cool was Andre the Giant. Saw a documentary about his life and it was rather sad. He once said "the world is designed to accommodate handicapped people, blind people and such, but there are no accommodations for big people. When he took long flights, they had to hold a curtain around him so he could use the restroom because he couldn't fit in the airplane restroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,082 Posted June 25, 2021 I gotta be honest, as a kid the Tag Team matches resonated more. The ability to fight back and tag in was epic. I'll rank them as: 1. The Road Warriors 2. The Rock N' Roll Express 3. The Von Erichs (A&E needs to do a story on this family). 4. The Midnight Express 5. The Hart Foundation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
