[the dirt]

Right i choose Bret as the Best ever

and HBK as the worst.

Yeah, HBK as the worst... 

[Sober_times]

Great idea for a thread EVO!! I love it. But WCW should be added in this as well. There were some greats ones there. TNA is too young for it though.

These are some of the guys I think should be included in the top 32. I included some wcw.


Steve Austin
Hulk Hogan

Hollywood Hulk Hogan----Don't know if it should be done but it was almost an entirely different era when he was NWO, And a totally different character and gimmick altogether, So i thought they should stand seperately. What do you guys think??

Bret Hart
Kurt Angle
Triple H
Bill Goldberg---Almost for the gimmick alone, it was a great one.
Undertaker
Rick Flair
Iron Shiek
Shawn Micheals
Sting
Andre The Giant
Mankind
Booker T
Randy Savage
Kevin Nash

Those are a few of my favorites, theres just so many you can list. Its hard to knock it down to 32 i think.

[Hammy]

Shawn Michaels

[the dirt]

Honkey Tonk Man (IC counts too, right?)

[Neemo]

I stole the idea off of WrestleCrap! I've been wanting to try the idea here for a while though.

We could probably pull off a seperate WCW one in the future!

I'm assuming it works like the 9 that are listed at the top are the ones included so far, is that right? Cuz my lazy ass just skimmed through posts and started namin names earlier.?

If so, than theres a few obvious ones that should be included like The Rock(hes a legend), JBL(for length alone), Taker(hes a legend), Andre (he's a legend), Mankind(this guy is also a legend) and I may not like him anymore but Rick Flair should absolutely be included in this list (and ya I think he's a legend too). I know i listed some before, but just posted a few here since i got the jist of it now.? I think with no WCW allowed than Goldberg doesnt deserve to be on the list, his run in WWE was not a good one.?Besides these here I think its up for grabs on the rest. Though I'll go ahead add Sgt. Slauter, Yokozuna, and Iron Shiek to the people I would like to see on it.

[Hammy]

Brock Lesnar, his reigns always had some classic matches, i mean he and 'Taker were the first to pull off a great Hell In A Cell match that did not go out of the cell.  He and Angle had great matches on and off PPV, anyone remember the Iron Match on Smackdown.  He even had a good time fighting Cena back when he was a decent heel.  Lesnar has champion along with Angle & Benoit made Smackdown the #1 show for me...

I think everyone should remember this is the great "WWWF/WWF/WWE Champ" of all time.  So just remember their title reigns, stuff outside of those is irrelevant....

It's NOT the greatest wrestler ever.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Buddy Rogers
Bruno Sammartino
Ivan Koloff
Pedro Morales     
Stan Stasiak
Billy Graham
Bob Backlund His first run was a hell of a run, but if you are counting in his blink and you'll miss him loosing to his new title to Diesel, he was a terrible champion.  His whole comback in the mid 90's was terrible.  He look way out of place dressing and acting like a wrestler from the 70's, and him breaking out his crazy side and putting on the crossface chicken wing and not letting go. Terrible character.
Iron Sheik
Hulk Hogan
Andre The Giant - Probalby one of the best sports entertainers ever, although his title run was so short and he tried selling the belt "kayfabe" I dont think it was one of the best runs or he was one of the best champions.
Randy Savage
Ultimate Warrior
Sgt Slaughter - His Iragi supporting charecter which just took the title from the warrior and gave it to Hogan is not among the best.
The Undertaker
Ric Flair He won the title in a royal rumble, he showed up in WWF wearing the WCW that he owned.  Never came over well in WWF then fled ship back to WcW, if this was a greatest WCW champion ever then I would consider him, but being a WWF champion he sucked.
Bret Hart
Yokozuna
Diesel - I would eliminate this asshole because his character was so "cool" that he always dragged the title to the ring instead of warrying it and to me that is an insult to the belt.
Shawn Michaels
Sycho Sid - Short run and his character never really went over with me.
Steve Austin
The Rock
Mankind
Triple H
Vince McMahon - Being the onwer and controller of the company Vince shouldn't be considered in the best ever.
The Big Show
Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho
Brock Lesnar
Bill Goldberg
Chris Benoit
Randy Orton
Eddie Guerrero
JBL
Batista
Edge
Rey Mysterio He shouldn't be on the list, because he was suppose to be the World Heavyweight Champion and he lost more non title fights then he won in his title reign.  He was jobbed out to everyone and I feel only was given the title because of Eddie's death.
John Cena
King Booker
Rob Van Dam
