My first memories of Storm were from ECW with Justin Credible and I instantly became a fan. I was hugely into WCW at the time and was overjoyed when he made the move and instantly became successful winning three titles and forming Team Canada, who at the time were the best thing going in the...

New Jack is the craziest wrestler of all time, maybe even the craziest human being the whole world over. He's done some pretty insane and disgusting things in the ring, not to mention some of the wacky things he has claimed he's done outside wrestling. The Danbury Fall with Vic Grimes and...

YES! These are my fondest memories of WCW too. Around 93/94 Saturday afternoons in my house were strictly for watching WCW. Sting and Ron Simmons were probably my first WCW heroes because of this. I vaguely remember the Cactus Jack and Vader feud from around this time. Johnny B Badd seemed to...

I was never a fan of Cryme Tyme or any of the other tag teams around at this time. Neither of the two struck me as having particularly good wrestling ability and the joke of their gimmick must have flown straight over my head as I never got why it was popular. I would put them on par with the...

If you consider Ryback to be boring then I really don't think professional wrestling is for you. He's been fantastic in my opinion. All of his recent matches have been entertaining and the support he has gained from the fans backs this argument up. Swagger vs Del Rio at WM is a match that would...

Really tough question. It's a short list of wrestlers in reality but it's a list full of honourable mentions. Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Raven, Shane Douglas, Taz, Sabu and Terry Funk should all be mentioned in this thread. For me it has to be RVD. He worked his way to the top with some pretty...

Raven! When he was Johnny Polo back in the 90's he had a few stints at the commentary table, he was so witty it was astonishing that they never hired him as a commentator full time. His style was very similar to Bobby Heenan's, he could take a fault of somebody's and turn it into an insult...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Bret vs Owen at WM X. This match stands out so much from the rest of the card that night and much of the wrestling around that time. Simply put it's a fantastic piece of storytelling in the ring. Normally this match gets a mention when this topic is discussed...

I really enjoyed the one with Jarrett and Angle although it was the only one I did catch. It was a great idea and presuming it got decent viewing figures which most things TNA do here in the UK then I expect to see more. On the Extreme Sports channel here they sometimes air classic matches from...

No need for the homophobic comment. You made some good points however. My choice would have to be Hunter Hearst Helmsley. After debuting in the WWF and feuding with Duke Droese and losing to Ultimate Warrior quickly at Wrestlemania who would have thought this guy would go on to become one of...

Growing up in the UK, there was only one team for me when I was a kid: The British Bulldogs. Although they were slightly before my time, I used to love renting the VHS of their greatest matches and watching old tapes of shows they were on. Watching their matches now is brilliant and makes me...

I'd say they're pretty equal. Their careers have pretty much mirrored each other. Billy was the more successful before the Outlaws but RD was the main man during the Outlaws gimmick. After Road Dogg joined TNA and Billy's run with Chuck ended they were both reunited in TNA. The James Gang's feud...

I totally agree and I hope you don't think that I was knocking Swagger in any way. He is a solid wrestler and I was impressed with his title run as I was with Mark Henry. However, in the context I used his name along with Khali, Hardy and Henry, I was trying to get the point across that if there...

First of all, excellent thread Great White Sam. It's really got me thinking. I'm undecided on the matter at the moment. However, I don't think people hold the World Heavyweight Championship with the same regard that it had in previous years. It's respect has definitely been watered down with...

I don't mind Taichi, he was teaming with Taka on a few shows and they performed quite a good cheeky heel gimmick. I never saw Taichi's work in CMLL but from what I gather he was quite a name for a short while. I like his look as well, it's pretty different and he stands out from a lot of other...
