Despite Hogan and Dixie Carter getting too much tv time for my liking and Garett Bischoff and Brooke Hogan being employeed TNA is pretty fanfuckingtastic right now.

How about Steamboat, Savage, Misawa, Kawada, Tsuruta, Funk, Brisco...just to name a few.

I think if we were to make lists, it should be North American style because a lot us aren't familiar with lucha or puro IMHO.

Shawn was as good as them. He was athletic. He knew how to mat wrestle and fly. And even brawl when he got pissed. He always got the crowd excited. I don't remember (I've seen Steamboats matches) the crowd marking when Steamboat came out or when he won

You watch him winning the NWA World title from Flair in 89 and tell me the crowd wasn't marking out and I'll call you a liar.

The Puro guys are still better pro wrestlers than HBK, but even if I took all of them out I could come up with a lot of guys I consider better.

I seem to remember them popping pretty huge when he beat Savage at WM III.

Also, to insinuate HBK was as good as Terry Funk is laughable at best.

I bet you could which is why I was just saying.

What a dumb fucking ending. From the time Cena came out up to the fade to black was straight garbage. I hate myself for watching that.

He only won that match because of George the animal Steele. And a great wrestler isn't killing yourself to please the sick fans

Yeah and Terry was doing regular non hardcore wrestling for decades.

What the fuck are you talking about? Terry Funk didn't even start wrestling hardcore matches until he'd already proven himself as one of the GOAT's in twenty-plus years worth of technical matches. What you don't know about wrestling could seriously fill a book. As far as the George Steele comment goes, I see no reason why that takes the pop away from Steamboat, who actually won the match.

You really should quit now.
