I'll go for Bret, he was, and still is my all time favourite wrestler (along with Dyno), plus I don't have much puro experience, although I did just see Owen vs. Liger (sp?) from 'Top of the Super Juniors', amazing match.

I vote Brett Hart because he went through the system of tag team to IC champ to WWF champ and had some good matches that made the opponet look good.

 

And was very good in interviews

 

and WCW never happened

I'm the only Lyger vote so far? WOW.

 

That guy rocked the world that decade. Austin's peak stuff was 96-98. Some excellent tag work 91-92, but as for the rest, eh.

My vote goes to Bret Hart. The man is one of my favoutire wrestlersof all-time. He could wrestler, carry most guys to a good match, cut a great interview and he helped to make Steve Austin one of the biggest drawing wrestlers ever. Kudos to Bret. He deserves it.

while it may not be his actual swan song, i think you could make that case that that match was bret's true final appearance in a wrestling ring.

I vote Bret Hart, he was having great matches all throughout the 90's, cut great interviews, and could carry just about anyone to a good match.

Bret's right up there, too. Several phenomenal matches at house shows, on TV and PPV, as well as awesome storylines and mic skills, but he had some stinkers though. Especially when he felt inclined to dog it. I've never seen Lyger blatantly phone it in.

I'm actually torn here. Long-time Bret fan, will always be, and he's the reason I watch wrestling - however - and I know for a fact some people that know me are going to be royally pissed about this but I had to go with Shawn Michaels.

 

They're basically even in my book but Michaels had better mic skills and charisma, that's basically the tie breaker. I'm not a fan of Michaels' backstage antics and reputation but he had what it takes inside the ring.

 

I vote HBK as Wrestler of the 90s over Bret for the same reason I might vote Hogan as Wrestler of the 80s over Flair. If I was voting for my favorite wrestler of the 90s, I'd go with Bret.

I voted for Austin.

 

He went from a wrestler to a brawler to the biggest draw and he did it all better than most.
