After looking at the list, who was your favorite from the list? If I had to pick right now, it would either be Davey Smith (British Bulldog), or Chris Benoit, even if he did kill his family. I still respect him for what he did in the ring. What are your thoughts?

 

[Edge_Foreva]

Dunno who my favourite is, Andre The Giant was pretty good even if I didn't grow up watching him wrestle.

Eddie and Benoit are pretty great wrestlers too.

Also I think you forgot Owen Hart on your list or I might have just missed him.

I just can't believe the number of wrestlers that have died. It really proves that wrestling can be a tough buisness. That's why I respect wrestlers, they really do put their bodies on the line, even their lives.

BTW, good list.

28 wrestlers i have watched since 85 on that list on tv or live.

Man that is alot of people...but come on...We all kno the dangers of wrestling...

 

[tasso10]

I saw this list. Terrible. But yes i dont see the trend changing any time soon

 

[P.O.U.N.C.E]

Well the most suprising of all is how all the Von Erich Brother's (3) commited suicide. Mike commited suicide first, followed along with Chris and Kerry.

 

[excellence of execution]

kerry von erich was great as the the texas tornado.i didn't know the tag team of johnny grunge and rocco rock were dead .they were great as public enemy.

 

[the dark knight]

davey boy smith + andre

benoit lost respect. great wrestler? yes. asshole? yes.

 

[RobertG]

Wrestling wise i loved Eddie and Benoit,

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

I remember seeing Art Barr in a match, and he wa great, Eddie took alot of his style from him.

The whole list is saddening.

 

[monkeystyle]

Curt Hennig is by far the best on that list. Or possibly Rick Rude.

 

[Oasis]

I miss Benoit, yeah I know what he did but i still miss him.....

 

[ROHisWrestling]

I would have to go with the British Bulldog, he really helped make pro wrestling even more popular back then IMO

 

[edge&christian4ever]

My favorite would have to be Crash Holly because he had limited size and muscle yet he still went toe to toe with some of the best.

Other than him I have to say Eddy for many many resons
