WWE: Who's on your wrestling Mount Rushmore?

[lg325]

Paul Bearer and his father Percy Pringle were two of the best.

 

[ZestolPastilevsky]

No, we have to see what their policies do before you declare you won, you dumb ****.

Now back to wrestling. Who's your Mount Rushmore of women?

Charlotte Flair is on it. So Rick and his daughter are both on my Mount Rushmore's

Trish Stratis

Chyna

I want to put so many others on the 4th but it has to be The Fabulous Moolah

Chyna is an interesting choice. Only woman to hold a men's title. I think they should do an angle like that with Rhea Ripley.

Cody Rhodes was on Jimmy Fallon. WWE is going back to Saturday Night's starting December 14th. I'm so excited.

I never liked Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Lou Albano. I never knew back then that was on purpose. They are heals. Boy did they bug me. I knew wrestling was fake but these characters really bugged the shit out of me. I didn't realize they made the wrestler they represented better because he couldn't talk. Paul doesn't bug me anymore. I want to hear what he has to say. I didn't watch back when he was younger but I've seen the documentaries on him in ECW. How he was trying to find his way in life and how he got into wrestling. Paid his dues. Took chances. He has balls.

Oh yeah, Hulk Hogan is a living legend. Truly a larger than life guy. Kinda sucks how wrestlers have gone down hill over the past 15 years or so. Other than Roman Reigns, I don't think there's anyone who can generate the sort of hype that the guys you named did.

Piper, The Rock, Stone Cold. Guys who can talk on the mic and get the crowd into it. These guys are amazing when you hand them a microphone. Hogan was good, but not great on the mic. But Hogan is most definitely on the Mount Rushmore. He's like the Beatles of Wresting. Sure there was music before the Beatles but it sucked. LOL.

There is one guy over in AEW and I have to believe he will end up in the WWE eventually. AEW must be paying him a lot of money. MJF. Maxwell Jacob Freedman. And he may be the best EVER on the mic. He is a DICK. But he has also won over the fans. He's their scumbag. I mean, he can do it all. And he uses his jewishness. LOVE HIM!!!

I show you this picture, not a more flattering one, because it reminds me. Like Jericho, he knows how to play it up when he's getting beaten up. People want to see him get beat up. They want to see him cry about it while it's happening. Jericho is great at this too. And they do another thing I love. They poke someone in the eye or kick someone in the balls. Then when that guy gets them back by doing it to them a couple weeks later, in the interview they bring it up and ask "what kind of man does something like that?". I love that!!

I never liked the modern gimmick wrestling,,

bulldog bobby brown and harley race are my guys,,

You have to realize WWE tries to give something to everyone. I always wonder why they have big fat wrestlers. Men and women. Why? I like my big women to be like Rhea not Nia. Or Piper Nevin. But someone must like that. They have Latinos, Blacks, Whites, Germans, they love to have racist factions. Something for everyone.

What I never liked was the gimmicks like the Viking Raiders. But this might be for kids?

I believe they are changing their name? I hope so. If they change the gimmick I might like them better. And maybe they could hold the championships for a minute. Be the face of WWE. Maybe if Rybar loses a little weight or gains a personality. They need to learn to talk.

 

[sealybobo]

Humperdinck could get a crowd going. Gary Hart was one of the best. He did sinister better the most.

I watch NXT. I see them working on their talking. I don't know why they send anyone up to the big leagues before they can talk on a mic. Who did they send up that's good on the mic?

Rhea, Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton.

 

[sealybobo]

Merchandise is something there wasn't much of back in the 1960's for any sport, compared to now. But there were matches monthly or even more frequently in a lot of places.

They had territories. Detroit probably had wrestling every week. But it was maybe 5 guys who are superstars and they come in every week and beat up on jobbers. Today every match is two superstars fighting each other. Or mostly. Very rare is it a slaughter. Maybe if they are in Cleveland they'll have two local Cleveland up and commers wrestle two monsters and just get crushed in front of the home crowd. But not before they pull a couple good moves. LOL.

This isn't "Wrestling", it's "Rassling".

This is "Wrestling"

How much does that pay? What do great wrestlers do after they win a gold medal?

Story goes, Roderick Strong really slapped Kurt Angle. Look what Kurt does to him.



In wrestling, a receipt is when a wrestler hits back at an opponent who hits them hard or incorrectly.

The thread is not about money.

Chyna in today's Women's WWE would be devastating.

 

[sealybobo]

The thread is not about money.

Actually, yes it is. Why is Hogan, Rock, Stone Cold on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling? Certainly the most popular wrestlers made the company the most money. Probably why Vince didn't give a shit about Bret the Hitman Hart.

Per Celebrity Net Worth, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is worth around $800 million in 2024. Johnson falls just short of the billionaire status

Butts in seats bra

It's why Piper should be on the Mountain. Without him, no one cared about Hulk and Mr. T. Protagonist.

On another subject, these guys and gals are the greatest performers. I put them up there with Stand up comedians. Such a difficult thing to do. For a wrestler to be great he has to be great in the ring and on the mic. Athletic, actor, charismatic, looks good funny. It's why Andre the Giant isn't on the list.

Just put the Oklahoma State Cowboys logo on any mountain. That's all you need.

WWE is moving Monday Night Raw to Netflix. My buddy is trying to talk two of us into getting netflix. I'm not doing it. That's the beginning of the end. Then everything's going to Netflix, Paramount Plus, Disney, bla bla bla. **** these streaming services.

So we all pay $100 or more for cable and internet monthly. Then they get money from advertisers. Seems like tv is a good business to be in. NOW we have to pay for streaming services? I don't think so.

I don't pay for any of the shit and never would.

 

[sealybobo]

Bruno Sammartino, he was the longest reigning WWWF/WWF/WWE champion in history with over seven years.

Who here has Netflix? My two buddies say I’m cheap for not buying it and missing Raw. **** that. It’s the beginning of the end. Next thing something else will go to Disney, paramount, etc. is this the future?

The best thing about Heyman is how he was able to transform from his previous Paul E. Dangerously personality when he no longer had the yuppie appearance and the brick like cellphones he toted around became antiques.

He was even cheaper...He was toting around the receiver of a cordless phone.

One spot on the mount certainly goes to Heenan...Not only was he a heel's heel, he was genuinely a very funny man...The Don Rickles of Pro rasslin'....No manager ever did the stagecraft better.

Also, if you'll go watch his numerous interviews in YouTube, he has a genuine affection and respect for the business.

WILL YOU STOP!

When I was a kid we had him, Jimmy hart, Lou Albano, Fuji, etc. Paul Hayman has the crowds eating up his every word. The crowd loves to hate him. He has truly mastered the art of being manager.

And as far as talking, I have to say the first wrestler who could talk well was piper. The lines he would say were insane but also brilliant. Just when you think you have all the answers I change the questions
