Greatest Wrestler of All Time Tournament

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

Since I've seen this done on another board, I've decided to run a tournament in which you can vote for your favorite wrestler of all time. The tournament will include 32 wrestlers, who will be halved each round via elimination, the wrestlers will be paired off at random, and you can vote for each pairing to decide who advances to the next round. Here I have named 25 wrestlers, some who gained there spots by being technically skilled (Benoit, Hart) others for what they did for the business (Hogan, Andre.) In this post I would like suggestions of wrestlers to fill up the 7 extra spots. In order to gain a spot, a wrestler must be suggested, then seconded, then thirded (or, um, seconded again.) please suggest the wrestlers that you think truly are nominees for the prestigious award of being the best ever. Here are the 25 I have so far.

 

1.) Bret Hart

2.) Owen Hart

3.) Hulk Hogan

4.) Shawn Micheals

5.) Ric Flair

6.) Chris Jericho

7.) Chris Benoit

8.) Andre the Giant

9.) Sting

10.) Steve Austin

11.) HHH

12.) Ricky Steamboat

13.) Randy Savage

14.) Mick Foley

15.) Bruno Sammartino

16.) Rock

17.) Kurt Angle

18.) RVD

19.) Ultimo Dragon

20.) Jake Roberts

21.) Terry Funk

22.) Rowdy Roddy Piper

23.) Diamond Dallas Page

24.) Ted DiBiase

25.) Ultimate Warrior

26.) Dynamite Kid

27.) Raven

28.) Rick Rude

29.) Repo Man

30.) Undertaker

31.) Jeff Jarret

32.) Mr. Perfect

No Dynamite? No Misawa? No Lyger? No Hayabusa? ADD THEM!

 

NOMINATIONS BY LAZ:

Dynamite Kid

Mitsuharu Misawa

Jushin Lyger

Hayabusa

 

And I second Bossman...

[Guest InigoMontoya]

I'm not sure of any specific name, but I think that you should include whoever was at the top of ECW at the beginning. Whether or not you like the change they made, they made a big one.

[Guest Army Eye]

Brian Pillman

Mr. Perfect

Vader

Undertaker

Raven

Jushin Liger

Eddy Guerrero

Yay.  A puro snob.

 

 

Kurt Angle for me.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

I second Mr. Perfect.

[Guest InigoMontoya]

I second Raven (a part of the hardcore influence)

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

Dynamite Kid

Undertaker

Kurt Angle

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

And of course, La Parka

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Repo Man.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I second Repo Man.

 

C'mon.  One more vote.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Angle is already on there.

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

Oops, Dynamite Kid was supposed to be in there. Angle already is. Anyone else want Mr. Perfect, Raven, Jushin Liger, Repo Man, Big Bossman (please don't vote for the last two,) Vader, Undertaker, or Rick Rude? Each of those each have two votes apiece.

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

Angle is already on there.

In that case, I retract my erroneous Angle vote,

and "third" the Repo Man vote.

 

Best catchphrase EVER!

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

YES!

 

Repo Mania Baby!

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

Our Bazza should have made a full time come back at the Rumble, and Goldust should have been in the Gimmick Battle Royal at WM 17!

Official votes for:

Raven

Rick Rude

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Come on everyone.  Let's get Repo Man named the greatest wrestler ever.

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

I've added Rick Rude, Raven, and Repo Man (always been a Repo mark, but best EVER!?). Their are 3 spots left. The following people have two votes:

 

Vader

Undertaker

Big Bossman

Mr. Perfect

Jushin Liger

[Guest The Vanilla Midget]

Undertaker - he *should* be there

booker t- he should also be there, 5 time wcw champion, sucka!

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

I've already voted for 'Taker, so this isn't a vote, but surely he's got to be in the list!

He's a 3 time WWF champ whose been knocking about for 12 years, whereas the Warrior was a short lived flash in the pan, and I don't even like the Undertaker!

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Jeff Jarrett.

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

Undertaker's in. 2 more to go, I personally want Booker T and Mr. Perfect to get in, but they each need one or two more votes.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

JJ c'mon baby!

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

I second Double J.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

JJ is better than Booker.

 

I'll third Mr. Perfect if someone thirds JJ.

[Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics]

Booker T vote right here
