The Rock
Kurt Angle
Kane
The Undertaker
Stone Cold Steve Austin

WCW

Goldberg
Booker T
The NWO

Do The Hardy Boyz and D-X count?

[DwnShft2Xcelr8]

Probably The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but i also liked the Undertaker and kane.
those were the golden days of WWF. i haven't watched it in years. i don't even know most of the big names these days.
I did see that Kane has become a different character now though. what happened to 'the big red machine'?

[DwnShft2Xcelr8]

He traded in his mask for a suit. N!gga went corporate

shit looks stupid.
it's like when the undertaker went from a demonic, dark figure to suddenly some bad ass motorcyclist. shit doesn't make sense.

[MP.Trey]

Austin, Rock, Jericho; Sting & Goldberg. All of Foley's personas and the Hardys/Dudleys as well.

[Knicks101]

Dudes weren't that strong during that era. So overrated, Brakkus, Mike Awesome, Goldberg were the only strong dudes so them.

[Knicks101]

Ice Train too, he strong.

[JohnnySic]

shit looks stupid.

Yeah, that was an odd switch. I kept wondering, "what happened to the dead guy?" :oldlol:

WWE was going for more realism and the cartoonish characters were being phased out.

[JohnnySic]

Hmmmmmm......no mention yet of He Who's Name Must Not be Spoken...

[MP.Trey]

Benoit was a good wrestler and I was a fan of him but his lack of charisma/mic skills is too much to overcome to say he was one of my favorites.

[L.Kizzle]

Goldberg and Crow Sting.

PS - No Bret Hart? ^
Hart was boring. He's not mak9ng my top ten main eventers.

[Knicks101]

Least strong era

Bruno was strong
Hulk, andre strong
Warrior luger strong
Austin not strong, rock strong now (wow) wasn't strong then
Brock strong, cesaro strong

:applause: Very true, Rock had that flabby Samoan gut back then, let's be real.

Nobody better say Buff Bagwell strong, he worked the glamour muscles and you all know it.

Forgot Big Poppa Pump, he strong.

DX counts, I should have added groups. Hardy Boys were my 6th tag team.

[JohnnySic]

Dudes weren't that strong during that era. So overrated, Brakkus, Mike Awesome, Goldberg were the only strong dudes so them.
Well also Mark Henry obviously. And I'd say Kane too.

[Shade8780]

I wasn't even alive back then, but looking back on it now, I've always been a fan of The Rock, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle and the NWO. I was a big fan of Angle and Foley (have a Foley DVD I got a long time ago right beside me) when I was a kid in the mid 2000s, and have always liked Rocky because of how funny he is, even though he was gone by the time I got into wrestling. The NWO were just badass. I remember asking for a Hulk Hogan toy for my birthday, and they got me a Hollywood Hogan toy :oldlol: When I first got a PS3 at 9-10 years old, my PSN name was NWOlampard. I was a f*cking nerd.

Obviously, watching the shows from week-to-week cause you to have a completely different opinion. Maybe I would've gotten sick of The Rock, Hogan and Foley and preferred workers like Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko.

[DwnShft2Xcelr8]

One of the GOAT matches I've seen was Mankind v Undertaker in hell in a cell. Everything about it was epic. Sometimes I go back on YouTube to just watch the highlights. Still gives me goosebumps when Mick was thrown off the cell onto the announcer's table below.

[L.Kizzle]

Mankind's best match was easily his Sunday Night Heat showdown with The Rock during halftime of the Super bowl.

[CNNonceAgain]

Mankind's best match was easily his Sunday Night Heat showdown with The Rock during halftime of the Super bowl.

Foley has had at least 20 better matches

[L.Kizzle]

Foley has had at least 20 better matches
Okay funniest as that didn't even take place in the ring.

[Knicks101]

That match is only epic because of the bumps Mick took and him getting off the stretcher to come back. Otherwise there wasn't anything special about it.

Gotta agree, the only thing epic about that match was the epic stuff that happened. Take that out and the match wouldn't be nearly as epic.

[Knicks101]

Not even dean malenko prefers the work of dean malenko

Dean Malenko has a legitimate case for the most boring wrestler of all time. Not even strong at all. I have no idea why people seem to think boring is good. Macho so astute. :applause:

[CNNonceAgain]

His street fight with Triple H at Royal Rumble comes to mind.

I also liked his match with Randy Orton at Backlash 2004

HIAC vs Taker, HIAC vs HHH, WM vs Edge, ONS w/ Edge vs Funk & Dreamer and then all the matches in ECW and WCW.

[Knicks101]

Mankind vs HBK at Mind Games is his best match.

[CNNonceAgain]

Mankind vs HBK at Mind Games is his best match.

One of em, but he was still in the brown poop suit at the time.

[L.Kizzle]

Dean Malenko has a legitimate case for the most boring wrestler of all time. Not even strong at all. I have no idea why people seem to think boring is good. Macho so astute. :applause:
Boring on the mic, just like Benoit and Brett Hart. Homie was like 4'8 and had that quadruple-plex and that submission finisher looked like a poor mans sharpshooter.

[FKAri]

The last wrestling match I ever saw vs Shawn Michaels vs Brett Hart. I stopped following after that. :/

[Derka]

That match is only epic because of the bumps Mick took and him getting off the stretcher to come back. Otherwise there wasn't anything special about it.

The bumps he took were like nothing else a lot of mainstream wrestling fans had seen before. It was an historic match and it was ridiculously special.

[kentatm]

Hart was boring.

:bowdown:

glad somebody else felt this way

dude was a snoozefest

[BurningHammer]

Him during his version of Hart Foundation vs Austin and WWE overall though was very nice.

[L.Kizzle]

Him during his version of Hart Foundation vs Austin and WWE overall though was very nice.
Still nothing compared to Austin, Rock, HBK, HHH and other various charismatic superstars. Freakin Val Venis had better mic work than him, lol.

[dkmwise]

Hart was boring. He's not mak9ng my top ten main eventers.

Wow, I'm surprised. Didn't love him during the Monday night wars era, but loved him in the late 80's and early 90's, probably my favorite then.

Maybe just because he gave me his glasses before a match when I was a little kid, haha

[CNNonceAgain]

Count me in on the Bret sucks bandwagon.

[CNNonceAgain]

Hated that gimmick. Bret the paedo.

[JohnnySic]

People on here dont appreciate the great ring workers. Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, etc. were awesome ring workers. But hey, they lacked mic skills. :whatever:

Bret had some huge matches.

Vs Davey Boy for the IC belt
Vs Piper for the IC belt
Vs Mr Perfect for the IC Belt
Vs Ax, Smash, Crush for Tag Team Belts
Vs Yokozuna
Any match vs Michaels, or Austin

I never said he wasn't great just not my top ten. For me, you gotta have both. Some wrestler had more than other. Hart is 85% ring, 15%mic work. HBK is 50/50. Hogan 30% ring, 70% mic work.

[MMM]

I was a big WCW guy in the early stages of the war but we know how stale they became over the years. I did like a lot of the young stars they had that eventually became Stars in the WWE; Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Booker T, etc.

Not my favorites but I did like some of the guys in the LWO and Raven's flock.

Perry Saturn and LA Parka.

[andremiller07]

I loved Kane when he first came into the WWF, when he came into the Undertakers steel match and ripped the door right off and terrorized the WWF for a couple months, but sadly they turned him into a *** later on his character is completely shit compared to the "Mike Meyers" type.

I also liked La Parka dude was mad underrated, a lot of the WCW were crazy good just get slept on but.

Juventud was that dude tho.

[Patrick Chewing]

Hogan trash on the mic though. He had one catchphrase. 2 if you count "Brother".


"Hollywood" Hogan was killer on the mic though. Next to Vince McMahon, Hogan was the best heel the wrestling business has seen thus far.

[BurningHammer]

People on here dont appreciate the great ring workers. Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, etc. were awesome ring workers. But hey, they lacked mic skills. :whatever:
It usually depends on their opponents' mic skills and how their feuds are built up.

Who knows this boring guy can get massive pops?

[BurningHammer]

"Hollywood" Hogan was killer on the mic though. Next to Vince McMahon, Hogan was the best heel the wrestling business has seen thus far.
Another thing to be mentioned is that Hogan hadn't even stopped wrestled like a heel while being a huge babyface with all those heel tactics in between. It was a very easy transition.

[Knicks101]

A lot of stupidity in this thread. Even for a wrasslin' thread.

[L.Kizzle]

Hogan very good on mic

Not savage flair good

But very good
1st tier
Stone Cold, Rock

[L.Kizzle]

Good lord what a mess
Jeff Jerrett underrated on the mic.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Stone Cold (the king of this era, period)
Kurt Angle

Taker should be 2nd-3rd tier. His mic works during his Biker era were very good. Kane is also at the same level when gimmicks allow him to.

[BurningHammer]

Jeff Jerrett underrated on the mic.
His stuffs are fine but not as powerful as others.

[CNNonceAgain]

Mic skills:


First tier- Raven, Heyman, Foley











second tier- Rock, Austin, Flair

[CNNonceAgain]

Doesn't come close to the promo ability of Raven, Foley or Heyman.

[Shade8780]

You're saying Kevin Nash and Stephanie McMahon are as good as The Macho Man on the mic? :lol :facepalm Guerrero and Foley are 4th tier? Roddy Piper is 5th tier?! They're all 2nd or 3rd tier.

Also, Taker is definitely not 4th tier, he's as good as anyone on that list...

[CNNonceAgain]

Rocky is charismatic as fvck, but he can't tell a story worth a shit and no matter how much of a heel he acts like, he's always too likable. Watch any of Mick Foley's or Raven's promo's from ECW and you'll see why they're better.

There are people who are better promo's than Rocky who I haven't mentioned, like Kurt Angle, Jim Mitchell etc.

[Knicks101]

The Rock is overrated on the mic. Has the catchphrases, is insanely charismatic but when it comes to serious promos he can't touch Foley. Heyman is on a completely different level than everyone too. Probably the best ever on the mic.

Also, Bret Hart was a great worker, had had some of the best matches ever and Hogan is incredible on the mic. People in here so so dumb.

[Knicks101]

Kizzle got one right for once Shade. Steph is great.

[Shade8780]

I did enjoy Rock as top guy and Trip as top heel in 2000 but WWE as a whole as definitely missing Austin. I think Undertaker was also hurt too, he missed WM that year. Storylines weren't as good as the previous 3 years but they put up good quality matches in the absence of Austin and Undertaker. Angle, Benoit and Jericho helped out a lot in making quality matches.
2000 was their best financial year with The Rock and Triple H on top.

[CNNonceAgain]

Come to think of it, I really think of one single serious/dark angles or promos with the Rock. It's just not his style, I guess.

But Angle never really did serious angles either in the WWE. He was always booked as kind of a nerd. He does more serious angles in TNA but I don't watch TNA so I can't rate his work over there.

:applause: Mick Foley though. Transformation from '96-'early 98 dark/serious/creep Mankind to late '98-'99 Mr. Socko Mankind was really amazing how he pulled that off.
Angle is amazing at being a heel though. No matter how hilarious and goofy he was acting, it was always in a way that made him unlikable.

Really showed his ability in his first match too (vs Stasiak @SS 99). "You do not boo an Olympic Gold Medallist!"

[L.Kizzle]

Mic skills:


First tier- Raven, Heyman, Foley











second tier- Rock, Austin, Flair
I can't recall any of Ravens mic work in WCW. His ECW work doesn't count as this is just WCW and WWF. Same for Haymon.

[Shade8780]

All off the amazing work they did from 98-99, I bet.
From what I've seen on forums, 1998 was a great year, 1999 was a love or hate situation depending on what type of fan you are, but 2000 was the best year of the Attitude Era. Great storylines, great wrestling which Russo's AE didn't have, and they made the most money that year.

Also, the mid-card in 1999 was Billy Gunn, Ken Shamrock and X-Pac. In 2000, it was Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero.

WCW was basically dead by 2000 that's why. 98 they was battling hard, 99 WWF took over and 2000 they werr done. By 200, Jericho, the Giant, Guerrero and Benoit had left for WWF. Dudleys, Taz had come in from ECW. Only Booker and Steiner and DDP and Jerrett were the main stars in WCW along with old Nash, Hogan, Sting, Sid, Savage and Flair.

Any time you hear some autistic innernet smark say anything bad about Russo, disregard it. 98>2000

[Knicks101]

2000 was overall the best year for WWE.

[L.Kizzle]

2000 was overall the best year for WWE.
Wasn't Stone Cold, Rock and Taker gone like half the year.

[BoogieWoogieMan]

Wasn't Stone Cold, Rock and Taker gone like half the year.

How bad is your memory?

The Rock was there for the entire year. I don't remember him missing any time. It was in 2001 where he left to do some work for The Mummy 2.

Taker was injured for the first 4 months, then returned for Judgment Day. So he was there for 8 months, which is good enough.

Austin was gone for practically the entire year. Outside of cameo's here and there, he didn't have a PPV match until Survivor Series against Triple H.


I remember 2000 being a great year, because not only were the top matches very interesting, but the whole line up was solid at the least. Tag teams were mad entertaining, those ridiculous hardcore matches (until they over did it), those mid carders were top tier (Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, Rikishi), and the introduction of smoking hot female wrestlers (Trish and Lita). The roster didn't have a lot of depth, but clearly less is more for wrestling 'creative minds'.

[Knicks101]

Triple H was so good in 2000. So strong.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Rocky is charismatic as fvck, but he can't tell a story worth a shit and no matter how much of a heel he acts like, he's always too likable. Watch any of Mick Foley's or Raven's promo's from ECW and you'll see why they're better.

There are people who are better promo's than Rocky who I haven't mentioned, like Kurt Angle, Jim Mitchell etc.

Rock came from the Attitude Era, where the lines between face and heel were blurred. Of course it was hard for him to draw real heat. It was hard for Stone Cold, Foley, and Undertaker too.

I think you're vastly underrating the Rock here. Dude owned arenas with his mic skills.

[iTare]

Eddie.

[Knicks101]

Can't tell a story? Watch the buildup between him and Austin for WM17 (which has one of the best video packages of all time btw). Rock can be very serious and compelling. He isn't always over the top with jokes and catchphrases. He isn't as good at being serious as Foley or Raven or even Cena many times but his charisma and improvisational ability are top tier.

Why don't you marry him, ******.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

i was such a wwf fanboy back then, i literally cringed every time i switched over to tnt. i'd have to say tho, i seen some of the most amazing things during the monday night wars. the craziest moment might have come when medusa aka alundra blaze, threw the wwf woman's title in the trash, live on nitro.

http://ringthedamnbell.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/madusa.jpg

i wonder how bad she regrets that moment...

[L.Kizzle]

Medusa was hot.

This has nothing to do with his inability to draw heat. Foley/Austin/Taker were all booed when they were heels.

Yup, super charismatic, probably the most charismatic person in wrestling history, but his promo skills aren't the best.

Are you seriously giving the rock credit for a video package? You think he was out in the truck cutting it?

[Knicks101]

The Enforcer damn good on the stick.

[L.Kizzle]

Diamond Dallas Page, was the original Peoples Champ. Most underrated star of that era.

Diamond Cutter >> RKO.

And Kim Page tho ... :bowdown:

I remember back in '97 how odd it felt that DDP was such a big star in WCW. He was their only major star (aside from Sting) that wasn't big in the WWE beforehand (this was before Goldberg exploded onto the scene...)

The Giant?

[L.Kizzle]

Jeff Jerrett might be the most forgotten star of that era. He was a high-mid card in the WWF and main eventer in WCW. I think he left because Billy Gunn was gonna get a main event push in the WWF and not him.

I really favored wcw. and ecw. most talented wrestlers. wwf just had better production, promotion and charismatic wrestlers.

mid to late 90's best era. ecw wcw and wwf heavy with talent.

also where did tna go wrong. I remember wwf getting kinda weak while tna was coming up.
