Occasional Pre-Show
This new thread is to see who everyone thinks is the most underappreciated Technical wrestler of all time and just in case anyone doesnt quite know what a technical wrestler is here is my definition a wrestler who relies more on holds than punches who can beat a opponent any number of ways like Suplexes or submissions and who can really mat wrestle most wrestlers who have these skills come from a amateur backround and remember to post a reason why you like who you vote for.
My vote is for a man who most people probably doesn't know of unless you watched AWA in the 80's or have seen the re runs on ESPN Classic I vote for Brad Reinghans this man to me is really amazing he comes from a big amateur backround where he won a lot of titles and even helped Coach the 84 olympic team which won a lot of medals including I believe two gold and when he was in the ring he had nothing flashy about him but he also made no bones about his skill either he would put his opponents in so many holds they probably became confused. He reminds me of Kurt Angle and yet when most of the fans discuss the greatest Technical wrestlers of all time they always say the usual names Angle Benoit Malenko Jericho Hart and Martel but I never hear anyone Mention Reinghans I think if he had debuted in the late 90's like Angle he would be mentioned with those big names but since he wrestled with AWA while they were dying he gets forgotten.
