Seeing as how this thread was abandoned by Dolph'sZiggler I'm posting #5.
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. (someone that is NOT an option for the current 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.
__________
The first wrestler to 8 votes wins, or whoever is in the lead after 48 hours
pass.
The Wrestler with the most nominations will be added to the next poll.
__________
#1- Stone Cold Steve Austin
#2- Undertaker
#3- Shawn Michaels
#4- Kane
#5-
