Remember Johnny Weaver? They all used to run him ragged but he was a showman who always put up a great show.
Ric Flair has to be the all time best because of his acting & mouth running along with Dusty Rhodes, The Great American Dream with two gallons of spit!

If we’re going in ring work, Trish wasn’t a standout either. Charlotte flair and others today are legitimately good compared to the “let’s get them in a bra and panties” era of Trish and torrie

I met and spoke with Trish in Wilmington a few years ago, like 2018. She is absolutely stunning and very nice.

Absolutely! The importance of tag team Matches and non title matches makes AEW very interesting. You’re not waiting around for the main event, you enjoy most of the show. I also have grown stale on WWE but found myself revitalized by AEW

Going way back - midget tag teams (can we even say that anymore?) were the most fun to watch. Those guys ran around all over the place. My dad used to love watching them in the 60’s and 70’s.
Don’t forget Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the 3 point stance clothesline Hohhh - Ohhhh!

Shawn Michaels. HBK. Showstopper. Mr. Wrestlemania. Even Ric Flair said he’s the best in ring performer of all time. Flair’s last match with him is one of the best wrestling moments ever. Plus co-founding DX and ushering in the Attitude era was epic.

Not necessarily my favorite, but do any of you remember Argentino Apollo back in the early 70s? This dude would walk all over the ring on is hands and kick the other wrestler in the face. My favorite was Rick Flair because we both had the same white hair.

The best eras were Hogan in the 80s and then the attitude era and wwf/wcw war in the late 90s early 2000s.
I think they had potential for another good era when the Shield was battling folks like the Wyatts and others and made a big mistake breaking up the shield a few years back. Unless you have a Hogan figure, which they aren't even close to having, then you are better off with alliances and groups to drive the storyline.
Favorite is prob Ultimate Warrior, also was big fan of Mr. Perfect. Both RIP.

Steve Austin for me too. He changed the way the game was played and his character and the fans leaning towards that attitude fit perfectly together. Will never be anyone come close to that success he sustained while on top for those few years. WM13 is still the best match of all time imo. I'd recommend checking out his documentary on Peacock as well. I think it's pretty cool that Austin and Rock were battling for that #1 spot on the roster but behind the scenes Austin was a big brother to Rock so much that Rock says he changed his life and told em in the ring that he loved em and appreciated everything he did for him in Steve's last match. That match is always hard to watch.

was a 2 time national champion in college himself. I went to his summer camp in 1979 before my senior year at Daniel High School. He said he had been hurt about the time of the 1976 Olympics, so he was gearing up for a shot at the 1980 Olympics (he was late 20s at the time) which unfortunately was boycotted by the US bc of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

My son went to Wade Schalles’ wrestling camp in about 8th grade. Schalles was the master of funk. He invented the spladle if I’m not mistaken? Super guy and amazing animated coach. He saw promise in my son I guess and stayed after camp session to work with him and a couple other kids. He taught my son all kinds of funky scoring tilts from the top position. All kinds of variations on the mason and ball chain tilts, leg cradles and so on. Schalles had funk you just did not see being used around here in HS wrestling. My son went on to use a lot of that funk in his 4X all state HS campaign.

This guy was pretty good at Clemson as well.
https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-history-sam-henson-wrestling-champion/Clemson History: Sam Henson, Wrestling Champion By Sam Blackman It’s been 20 years ago since Sam Henson won his last National Wrestling Championship at Clemson. In one of the most outstanding careers of any Clemson athlete, Henson won the National Championship at the 118-pound classification in 1993 and 1994 and finished with an incredible 71-0 mark in two years at Tigertown. In 1993, the Tigers went 19-9, including a 13th-place finish at the NCAA Tournament March 18-20. Henson, who captured the 118-pound National Championship, led the Tigers. Henson became the first Tiger Wrestler to go undefeated during a season, with an unbelievable 34-0 record. Also during this season, the Tigers had three ACC champions for the first time in the history of the program. Henson won the 118-pound crown, Troy Bouzakis captured the 126-pound title, and Tim Morrissey earned the 177-pound championship. For all three wrestlers, it was their first trip to the NCAA tournament. In 1993-94, Clemson had its highest finish ever at the 1994 NCAA Tournament on March 17-19, with a seventh-place showing. Henson led the way again, as he won the 118-pound National Championship. For the second year in a row, Henson went undefeated and finished with an impressive 37-0 record. Tim Morrissey also had a strong performance at the NCAAs, earning All-America honors with a third-place finish in the 190-pound weight class. Morrissey had a 31-5 record for the season. In the second-to-last season of Clemson Wrestling, the Tigers finished second in the 1994 ACC Tournament, with three individual champions—Sam Henson (118), Mike Mammon (150), and Tim Morrissey (190). Following the tournament, Henson was named ACC Wrestler of the Year. Clemson was 14-6 and 3-2 in the ACC that season, for a second-place tie in the ACC standings. Henson recalls his Clemson career and his second home. “As soon as I flew in and took my first visit to Clemson, I fell in love with the place,” he said. “Clemson had great facilities and the environment was unbelievable! I was a transfer from Missouri and I as soon as I saw Clemson, I knew it was the place for me.” As for most memorable experiences, Henson has plenty of them. “Winning the two national championships was of course the most memorable in my college career. Later on in my career I won the World Title in Iran and was a Silver Medalist in the 2000 Olympics. At the age of 36, I competed at the 2006 World Championships in China and won the bronze medal. “I had a chance to travel to a lot of places, but I consider Clemson as home. I love the place and it will always mean a lot of me. I’m glad to be a member of the Clemson family.”

It is most sad that Clemson canned a top 10 sports program! An Olympic sport program that produced national and world champions too. Yes there were problems, but no different than the problems in other programs and in the football programs of the day.

Haven’t watched this stuff since the 70’s when I was a kid but I loved going to the Greenville memorial auditorium on Monday nights to see the wrestling. Ric Flair was the one you loved to hate. Big mouth and all but he was super entertaining. I loved Ricky Steamboat and Rufus R Jones was funny.

Johnny Weaver and Ricky Steamboat were my favorites as a kid. Got to see them both up front and personal with my granddaddy a few times at the old Charleston County Hall.
