there are a long list of greats, but what steve austin did for the industry as a whole is nothing short of phenomenal.

You must have a little age on you. :)

Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat is a legend for sure, and he's definitely in the conversation for my all-time favorite, but I still might preserve that honor for Superfly Jimmy Snuka.

Damn, I liked Rowdy Roddy Piper, The Ultimate Warrior and Junkyard Dog also.

The "Man with the hands of stone", Ronnie Garvin was a favorite also.

There are so many legends.

Can't beat Roddy Piper! And, yeah, I've got some age on me. Used to watch NWA wrestling as a kid. I remember the Mighty Igor, Black Jack Mulligan; Oly, Arne and Gene Anderson, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Jimmy Snuka, Jay Youngblood, JYD, Sergeant Slaughter, the Iron Sheik. Just seemed like it was more fun with less pageantry back then.

When it all comes down to it, it's just Redneck Soap Operas, but it can be a blast.

I miss the attitude era and the Monday Night Wars vs. WCW Nitro. I can't even watch it now, it's just painful crap. Everyone looks the same and mic skills are pretty terrible now. Vince bought out all the competition and the product has become stale because of it. Too many pay per views. 

....or maybe I'm just an old fart pining for the "good ol' days"

Stone Cold, The Rock and Triple Hbwere my dudes growing up. 

 

 

Triple H and that framing sledge hammer man. One of the best heels ever.

List is missing Gorgeous George, none of wrasslin was possible without him.

If Shawn Michaels was in the ring also it indeed would be the GOATS in my opinion.  I can't get into wrestling anymore like I could growing up, but the WWF Attitude days with Austin and Michaels (DX) were awesome.
