Okay 15-20 years from now, when we look back at Wrestling who would be classified a has been? who would be considered an always will be?
I remember as a early teen I marked out for Bret Hart. He was my idol and yes I was a hulkamaniac too in the 80's. But as time went on and he stopped wrestling it became aparent to me. No matter how much of a fan I was of the Hitman, he was never an "always be" look at today? a lot of people bash his reigns, work ethic, they consider him over rated etc.. when back in the day I remember the two most popular stars in the early 90's were the Hitman and Sting (HBK was an up and comer). (This was in PWI I remember back then as well)
Both we are being considered the same these days.. so reading the hitman tweets against hulk Hogan.. REGARDLESS of how you feel about either of them, something made me realize something..
Hulk Hogan is an always will be
Hitman is a has been.
I was and am a fan of both, but in 15-20 years from now, how will people like DDP, STING, Hitman, Triple H, Jericho, batista, Warrior, Edge, Kane, Mankind, etc all hold up with the audience of tomorrow? Well I have a mock list and wish that you guys add to it with the mind set of 15-20 years from now.. NOT today.. because in todays world judgement is clouded. Most of the time good workers are forgotten about.. remember the Z-Man? When you look back at the 80's (WITHOUT DVD's) the man people that come up are Hogan, Andre the Giant and Flair.. they are Immortalized they are always will be types. Love them or hate them.
No Order by the way..

1. Hulk Hogan
2. Ric Flair
3. Stone Cold

Again in 15-20 years from now, who would be on these lists?
Note* Just because they are on one list or another doesn't make them bad talents.. not everyone can be babe ruth. I mean this can go for ANY sport as well. In basketball,football, baseball.. when you look back 20-30 years you see who were elite vs ok .. just have to look at it honestly for what it is.
