RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 You are going to have to define "best" further since you referenced "drawing" as the major factor in putting Hogan as #1... though there were "better" in the ring, and on the mic. This just kinda seems like "favourites". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BDC Report post Posted November 13, 2003 It's definitely got a tinge to it. You put Hogan up top b/c he was a draw, but then you just kinda put other people that are/were popular. Define the criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) Maybe he meant North American Edit: Nevermind, the Thread says U.S.(Duh) maybe he meant ones that wrestled in the U.S. Can't say Chono had a great run in the U.S. but he was great in Japan Edited November 13, 2003 by Plunderin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 He took out Bret Hart & Eddy, so I'm pretty sure he meant American. Isn't there a folder for list threads......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Well...I judge american wrestlers in the three important categories in N. American wrestling. 1. Ability to draw money 2. Ability to talk 3. Ability to have great matches. RVD doesn't fit the top tier of any of those. Austin fits ALL of them. Hogan drew money... Flair would finish second on my list I guess.

Hey I spread the content out, and talk about different things. He only talks about the same 5 guys. And give yourself some credit Rick, you do diversify yourself more than Ray.
