This is a list of childhood favorites of mine. The most badass of the era. Which are you rooting for in this epic Royal Rumble? Not going to vote in my own poll but to be fair my favorites on the list are:
- Andre
- The Undertaker
- Million Dollar Man
Aside: Hulk Hogan's wrestling character sucked, though I did enjoy his terrible movies.
Bonus points if you get what I was referencing after Vader's name. -------------  Time always wins. |

I voted for The Undertaker. Though I now hate you MoM for not including The Hulkster. -------------

Hulk Hugan was a bum. All crisco, roids, and male pattern baldness. Andre should've crushed him when he had the chance. ------------- Time always wins. |

Nothing will ever beat the standing-leg-up, leg-drop mortal combination. The worst finisher in history but the one that brought more emotion to mankind. Only The People's Elbow years later would come close. The clash of The Hulkster and The People's Champ in Wrestlemania XSomething was so epic that I had to watch it and was excited like a child. -------------

Tempted to vote Randy Savage just because of Slim Jims, but I don't remember/know most of the choices so I'll refrain.

Andre the Giant is clearly the most badass person on the list, if that helps. ------------- Time always wins. |

OR if I wanted to watch a soap opera I'd watch one that has attractive females and not big dudes Also, one that's.......what's the word? Entertaining. Though watching wrestling fans out at a bar, now that is hilarious and wonderful stuff  |

Andre's the only name I recognize. And yes I did have a phase where I watched wrestling regularly. It lasted about as long as my interest in disco, maybe a little longer.

The time I was biggest into wrestling, it was during the time when WCW was getting all those old guys from the WWF. I had the video game WCW/NwO Thunder for Playstation plus the cheats/unlockables book. When you had all of the extras available, it slowed the whole game down significantly. I better look at that list again, but I'm tempted to choose Piper for his great ranting ability. Anyone ever see his apperance on Jeff Berlin's instructional video? http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQ1NDY5NTk2.html" rel="nofollow - http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQ1NDY5NTk2.html ------------- A fun place to review and discuss metal: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - MetalMusicArchives |

I love classic wrestling. It's like a soap opera with almost naked men oiled up and punching each other. It's close between the Undertaker and Roddy Piper. I'll go with the later because he played the bagpipes. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Nobody has gotten the Vader reference yet. Hint: TV show based in Equality's hometown. ------------- Time always wins. |

I voted for the late Randy Savage. I also liked Jake "The Snake" Roberts and later, Tatanka. I'm thinking the "Frankie's dad" reference is Boy Meets World? ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |
