I love The American Wolf, but it's Harley 'freaking' Race. Dude has always been one of the greatest NWA Champions ever in my eyes.

Harley wins based alone on just his influence on other wrestlers who came after him and impact on the world of wrestling.

Hell I'm sure if Davey was to vote on this, he'd vote against himself on here. Harley Race is a God in wrestling.

Never followed NWA or their superstars. I'm one who doesn't watch 70's and 80's wrestling.


I voted Davey Richards, such an under-rated wrestler with a hell lot of potential.

Hopefully one day Richards will be seen as a great, but right now Race is known as one of the greatest wrestlers ever and is the clear choice here.
