The Gipper Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 None of the above. They are not real wrestlers. They are actors/showmen/fakers. My favorite wrestler is Barry Reighard. He was the Ohio State Wrestling champion (real wrestling) from my high school back when I was in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm not one to judge, but I never understood the appeal of pro "wrestling" Randy Savage was pretty hilarious and entertaining though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm also a fan of Roman Greco and Freestyle wrestling. The only real wrestler I mentioned was Kurt Angle who won a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics. I also like Dan Gable as a wrestler and wrestling coach. I've trained with Jason Kelly who works with America Top Team. I'm a huge Jordan Burroughs fan. I love the actual sport too. It's just that I've followed "pro" wrestling or sports entertainment since a kid. Just trying to spark some kind of other conversation, other than the Browns or Politics as both can get to be mighty depressing at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 No Bobo Brazil? The Shiek? I did think of Bobo Brazil had the shiek right after the post just didn't bother to amend it. I purposely didn't put the shiek as I don't like him. Also Abdullah the Butcher. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I get it Marcus. The guy that says "only an idiot can like to wrestling" can lick my nuts.

Seriously though if you like big roided up guys doing airborne choreographed fake stunts on a loose mat that makes extra noise that's fine it's just not for me. Are they big and strong guys, hell yes, is it fake, hell yes. And I'm a big boxing fan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it slightly over the iron man match between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. In a distant third would be Savage v Hogan @ Wrestlemania V. I put it over Savage and Steamboat because Savage had to carry Hogan all match long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
