[LaParkaYourCar]

Who would your rank as the best "Sports Entertainers" of all time? Based on drawing power, charisma, etc.

Of course, that isn't saying that some of these guys aren't good in the ring, but they have managed to tanscend that to be entertainers as well. If you go up to someone on the street and ask them to name a wrestler, these are the names you will hear (well maybe not the last one).

 

1) Hogan

2) Rock

3) Austin

4) Goldberg

5) Foley

6) Undertaker

7) DDP

8) Shawn Michaels

9) Ric Flair

10) the god that is La Parka

as a total sports entertainment package, i'd say it's a tie between austin & flair. even though flair wasn't a wwf-style "sports entertainer", he fits all the criteria of what a great sports entertainer should be: can work a match like a motherfucker, OOZES charisma, can work a crowd like nobody else, one of the best promo guys ever, and knows how to get a feud over.

[Guest Rob Edwards]

It's close between Hogan, Rock and Austin but I'd say Rock has the best all round package if you add potential mainstream stardom in there aswell

[Guest BionicRedneck]

Steve Austin

[Guest Bricks]

Hogan, Rock, and Austin. All can make cases for number one, so I'll go with a three way tie.

1) Ric Flair

2) Steve Austin

3) The Rock

4) Hulk Hogan

5) Undertaker

6) Randy Savage

7) Shawn Micheals

8) Roddy Piper
