If im going to objective, "all the above" old school WZT style?
1. Hulk Hogan
2. John Cena
3. Steve Austin
4. Triple H
5. Ric Flair
My personal top 5
1. Bret Hart
2. Triple H
3. Mick Foley
4. Rey Mysterio
5. Hulk Hogan
Nice.
My opinion of Triple H fluctuates wildly. On the one hand, he had the best streak of matches and feuds maybe ever in 2000, and there's his putting over of Daniel Bryan and The Shield to the nth degree, and his constant waving of the NXT flag. On the other, there's shit like him beating Sting at WrestleMania, him beating Punk at Night of Champions, and his whole horrid feud with Lesnar, all of which still give me nightmares.
The other three would definitely be permanent fixtures in my top five.

Honestly, I was too disgusted and deflated to go on the prerequisite killing spree.

Why didn't the US military bomb the hell out of Hanoi much earlier than the half-assed Operation Linebacker II near the end of the Vietnam war?
My Dad was a Navy Seal in 'Nam and said the guys over there were waiting for that offensive and couldn't believe the brass was holding off.
Do you think it would have damaged North Vietnam's ability to make war? Or were we too worried about reprisals from Russia?

The US felt as if peace could be at hand diplomatically. I 110% understand the perspective of those on the ground, but any responsible governing body is going to try their best to take the route of the least total casualties in resolving a conflict. It was originally anticipated that the legislation would be done over a ten day span, but The South did not like the terms that were brought, they had to be revised, and then the North didn't like the revisions, etc etc etc.
It ended up stretching out the diplomatic process MUCH longer than what was expected, and ended up proving fruitless overall.
Which pretty much sums up Vietnam in general.

Speaking of Vietnam, would you agree or disagree that it is still the conflict that has produced the best films?
Mighty NorCal

If we are going for unbiased opinion then yea, probably.
Personally, obviously I have other favorites, IE the crusades and Alexander's exploits.

Big house, great family
going to my best buds wedding back home in a few weeks. I was supposed to be in the wedding, but the outfits they picked from the groomsmen are from a store whose sizes run notoriously small, and I currently weigh 250 pounds with an 18.5 inch neck. So, uh, that ain't happening
No, I haven't gotten fat, in case any were wondering that about the above.
Got impeccable tickets to NXT Takeover in Brooklyn, that is going to be a fucking smashing time.

As a fellow lover of history, do you have any historical or history inspired pieces?

Thinking of older films about historical people, it's hard to look past the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood (the adventures of). To quote Clarence ****ley talking about Coming Home in a Bodybag, "Now that was a fucking movie."
If anyone gets that reference without Google/IMDb then they'll get repped.

Robin Hood, an historical person?

Significant historical myth? Person of questionable historical veracity? OG working class hero?
I vaguely remember one with Colin Farrell and Angeline Jolie from a few years back.

I have to admit, Troy has quite a few enjoyable moments.
Or to clarify, Eric Bana was pretty good in Troy.

The best theory ive heard on it was that it was a commonality deal, a name given to a series of infamous thieves / spy type badasses of that era
