This obviously excludes André's prime years. That match with Hansen is one of the greatest big men battles of all time.

Dusty Rhodes is a glaring omission imo but he may just be to old for this board. Junkyard Dog probably falls into that as well but you all should go back and watch his midsouth stuff

If his prime is all before Hulk Hogan became a thing, he’s just one of those people that’s just before my time because I have little interest in watching much more wrestling before 83.

He was around though from like 84-92 and of everything I’ve seen, it’s very much meh to me. Idk. If he had a prime, it fell fast. At least from my perspective.

I’m gonna get so much heat from the old school fans for that, but that period before wrestling tv on mainstream cable was just not for me. Late 80s is where it becomes watchable for me. And even then it’s more I can watch it, but I’m not necessarily super into it until Raw and Nitro.

Thankfully, though, there’s plenty of older generation fans that can nominate him if they wish to and he’ll get in.

Now Dusty on the other hand I’ve enjoyed a lot of. He’ll get in sooner or later. There’s just a lot of newer peeps that will draw the younger fans, even younger than I, first.

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.

 

[Marty McFourth]

I just wanna see Regal get in myself.

Not even a cena mark but its hard to deny his contributions

But id still put hardys first

 

[Hoss]

Dusty will definitely be in in the next couple years if this year is any indication

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Did you watch his battle with Stan Hansen (9/23/1981)?

Which company, btw? Japan? I can’t say it would change my opinion on him, but I do like hoss battles.

Dusty Rhodes
Andre the Giant
Antonio Inoki
Giant Baba
Rikidozan
Buddy Rogers
Gorgeous George
Tiger Mask (Satoru Sayama)

Because I'm an asshole and like to be a historian. Lots of these guys are important to the business in some fashion but doubtful they'll ever get in.

 

[Deezy]

Andre was in Princess Bride......don't need any other shit besides that.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Dusty 100% gets in.

He wrestled throughout the 80s and 90s.

Shit, even ECW in 2000.

 

[Deezy]

What movie was Dusty in?

Can'at even get an HBO doc.

Is this the wrestling hall of fame or the Hollywood walk of fame?
