We are going to try this again. I attempted to do this a while back but people can't follow two simple rules and it went awry. Here's what's going on. This is going to be a series of polls to determine the consensus greatest wrestlers of all time according to the posters on this board.
Just like last time, I am limiting this to wrestlers of what I will call the 'Wrestlemania era". Most of us are in our teens/early 20s, and so arguing about guys clearly before our time is pointless. And while '85 is still probably a little bit before a lot of our times, I'm sure most of us have seen Wrestlemania 1 on DVD and things like that. Oh and North American wrestlers only before anyone nominates someone from a Japanese org.
I'm not going to lay out a specific guidelines for what you should think makes a wrestler an all time great, but I will share with you the criteria I'll be using. I will take into consideration how iconic a wrestler is, lasting impact that they had on wrestling, the number of memorable matches and segments they had, and also their actual ability ala in ring skills, charisma, mic ability, ect.
Now for the two rules:
1.) You must post who you voted for in the thread.
2.) You MUST nominate another wrestler for the next poll.
***If you do not follow these two incredibly simple rules, your vote will not be counted.***
Now, for example, here is my vote for the first poll:
I vote for Hulk Hogan, and nominate Kurt Angle.
^It's as simple as that.
__________
Now vote, nominate, and let's not fail at this twice please.
__________
I'm trying to come up with the right number of votes to declare a winner.. obviously we don't have a huge group of users yet, but I don't want the polls to go by too quick.. I'll say the first wrestler to 8 votes wins, or whoever is in the lead after 48 hours pass.

: is a close second.
