What old school wrestler in there prime would do well in todays wrestling world?
Old school meaning 70s & 80s(PRE-attitude era)
(Note* I did not include Ric Flair and Hogan since they are STILL in todays wrestling world and thus are excluded from this)
1. Macho Man (The real total package, promos, work ethic, gimmick)

2. Superstar Billy Graham (He was really ahead of his time, he started the talk in 3rd person, and really you can see where Dusty took his gimmick from (and others))

3. Jesse Ventura (One of the most entertaining talkers in history)

4. Ravishing Rick Rude

5. Brickhouse Brown <-- Odd pick I know.. but he had a great gift of gab and could work.

GREAT Promo guys and workers that could still be a draw today IMO.
Who do you think would work today, that worked back then in there prime? Post links to your favorite promos of them if you would so we can all know what you mean for those of us that wouldn't know?
