Topic: Wrestling?

awww, I do love Tajiri >.<

Tajiri is great ~

Only really got into watching his stuff two or so years ago. Mostly his Japanese matches and so on Really enjoy most Japanese wrestling for some reason xD Maybe it's just how I'm wired.

Batista from Lunarwolf´s list would have been a great pick too. That guy is unintentionally hillarious, especially as heel. I also like his attitude in saying that wrestling is not only entertainment.

Not that much of an Ambrose fan to be honest. People love him, also quite entertaining, but just not in my top 10.
I agree with Sandow, absolutely wasted in the undercard. Brilliant actor. Still laughing when I think about how he went to the comic convention, and his face when one attendant told him that she was teaching or working in the kindergarten or something like that, or how his money in the bank briefcase went bathing. Sadly, his partnership and feud with Miz went to absolutely nothing, like it was also the case with Riley. Maybe Miz simply has not the starpower anymore to make people care for feuds with him, I don´t know.

The last wrestler I really got behind storywise was Daniel Bryan, and before that Christian Cage. As much as I like Orton, he should have put his foot down and not have agreed to make Christian look like a loser fool in their very good match series. The one more match idea was still pretty nice, but dragged too long.

I kinda have to pick Batista. Unlike most here I assume, I didn't start watching wrestling as a little kid. I was about 13 - 14 when I first watched wrestling stuff, and Batista was in full swing then. He was the first wrestler I made my "favorite" xD

I enjoy him as a wrestler, I enjoy him as an actor. So it's kinda of an obligatory pick If it was just a list of pure technical wrestling skills and such. I'd probably wouldn't put him on the list, and this list would probably be quite different.

He is surely not top 10 material in wrestling skills. But if Warrior would have had the wrestling skills of Batista, he would have been the total package, even more than he was anyway. I would have also gotten much more behind Ryback if he had been a Batista like guy from the start. He was horrible as a steamless Warrior clone in a RvD suit, but great as assholish big guy, and now he is ok.

1. Mick Foley
2. Christian

One of the first shows I watched was Royal Rumble 2000, free on Channel 4 at 1 in the morning. First show I taped myself instead of relying on friends of friends.

Some of these you might not have heard of unless you follow the independents in Canada/USA.

1. Bret Hart
2. Chris Jericho
3. Chris Benoit
4. 1-2-3-Kid (I've always had a shot spot for a lot of the mid-carders that you knew wouldn't go very far.  Guys like Bob Holly, Al Snow, Disco Inferno)
5. Benjamin Boone (a little bias here cause I've been in the ring with him but he's good at what he does, plus has some good shirt designs *All hail Mechabear.* It's only a matter of time before someone signs him)
6. Caleb Stills (I dig his Last True Gentleman on Earth gimmick)
7. Lufisto (there is a lot of ladies I could put in the top 10, Trish Stratus, Victoria, a few more on the indy scene but I chose her for the fact that she actually took on Ontario Athletic Commission and changed a few things.)
8. Dangerboy Derek Wylde (one of the first indy guys I could truly get behind)
9. Steven Richards (not counting the RTC days)
10. Mike Awesome

Hon. mentions/important people that should be worth noting:

Slightly breaking Kayfabe warning for two guys:

<---Elmo (When you see Elmo giving a Canadian Destroyer, a Stunner and a bunch of other moves in the same match to Vegeta you will never see Sesame Street or Dragon Ball the same way ever again.)
