Best eighties wrestler

[kiddsmash]

I am gonna go with Kerry Von Erich. I know Ric Falir was around but I saw more of Kerry's matches and think he was one of the best of the eighties.
I am sure everyone will say others but I'll stick with him.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair

runner up Hulk Hogan

Again this is an OPINION!!!

For my money, its Ricky Steamboat. He was the first guy that I really gave a crap about in the ring, and it was mostly for his matches. Granted, I didn't know anything about wrestling back then, but when I saw Steamboat it just looked great. The chops looked stiff, the armdrags were flawless, he just looked so smooth in the ring and could have a good match with just about anyone.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage

I'm going to have to go with Steamboat too. When I watched his matches i saw something "different". I couldn't put my finger on it at a young age, but I knew I was watching something special. As for now, I can still watch classic Steamboat matches and feel the same way as I did back then (though now I understand the technique, skill and flow more than i did then as to appreciate it all the more).

honourable mentions:
rhodes
kerry von erich
abdullah the butcher

Andre The Giant is my choice.

Easily Ric Flair, Hogan may have put wrestling on the map but Flair really elavated wrestling to a new level, his rivalries were intense and the amount of ***** matches he put on was amazing.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage

Im not gonna front here and act like i was watching wrestling in the 80s seeing as how I was barely born in the 80s....but Ive watched alot of videos and I think some of the best wrestlers from the 80s are

Roddy Piper
Jesse Ventura
Kurt Hennig

Now I liked Savage and quite honestly have never been a Flair or Hogan fan and I admit I may have missed some of the better ones because I may lack certain videos....but imo, from what I have seen, those are my top picks

Machoman, Jake The Snake, Hogan, the Honkey Tonk Man,
Bret Hart for tag team wrestling
