G.O.A.T. Wrestler?

[Jackass18]

Have you ever watched Steamboat? Let me know what all these moves he did were. Everything I've seen has been chops, arm drags and the diving cross body. Of course he did a few other things, but those are his "signature moves".

Dick Murdoch didn't do shit either, and he's considered to be one of the best workers ever.

I think it comes down to people having differing opinions on things. Some wrestlers can do well with a brawler style while others seem to come off as lazy, half-assed and/or repetitive. And, of course I've seen Steamboat wrestle. He was one of my favs when I was a little kid.

All things considered, I'd go with Ric Flair as the GOAT.

Ric Flair's a good choice. Only problem with him was I don't think he was a draw in the way Austin, The Rock and Hogan were. He's arguably more talented than all of them though.

Razor Ramon could have been in the same level as the Rock and Steve Austin if he had stayed in the WWE during the Attitude Era. He's one of the most memorable characters in WWE History.

Yes because everyone knows a long list of actual wrestlers, or gives even the slightest damn about actual wrestling. That's why it gets primetime slots, because America loves real wrestling. And that's why it gets any coverage at all during the olympics, because people care. And that's why real wrestling sells out arenas that seat 60,000+, and doesn't struggle to fill up high school gyms, because it's such an entertaining spectacle. I'm sure that's really what you thought this thread was about. You weren't just trying to be a prick at all. And this post isn't sarcastic at all.

Funniest wrestling promo of all time

I love how he basically makes a list, then doubles it by adding "Jericho" in front of the move.

"Dropkick"
"Jericho Dropkick"
"Right Arm Bar"
"Jericho Right Arm Bar"
"Left Arm Bar"
"Jericho Left Arm Bar"
"Leg Drop"
"Jericho Leg Drop"

i must be the only one who found that promo corny as phuck.

I never really cared for the whole draw thing. I don't really care what the casual fans go for. Those are the types that stop and watch something for a bit, then they head off to the next shiny object. Very little loyalty, little knowledge and appreciation comes from them.

Flair coming to town caused traffic gridlock during the territory days. Flair showing up as NWA Champion would keep individual promotions afloat.
