I'm probably gonna end up with 20.  Keep thinking of more I like.  If I did 15 or 20, Joe would be in there.

Yeah and I also keep thinking of more and more grapplers worth mentioning but then perhaps it's best to just stick to personal favourites...Happy, pretty obvious you're a huge classic ECW fan.

Anyways my # 19 (probably not a pick everyone would make): Rick Martel

Indeed.  A huge ECW fan.  Have probably two-three more guys on my list who at least spent some time in the organization.  Also, Rick Martel :thumbup:.

He was the guy when I was a kid.  First memories of WWF tv I ever saw were with Hulk Hogan.

I have three spots left and like, fifteen people I can choose from.

Have a feeling Flair, Punk, or Foley will be left out. As is Terry Funk, Booker T, Sting and a few others.

I wanna do a tag-team favorites as well.

Pretty solid list Happy, most all of those guys worked damn hard and were entertaining.

I know a number of wrestlers I consider to be outstanding who didn't crack my fave 20 but I'll get to them later after I clue it up. There will be a little bit of overlap with your choices Happy but I have to admit I have far less ECW guys and far more 80s guys but then the late 70s-80s was the era I watched it with the greatest interest and love although I'm also fond of the mid-to late 90s and ROH in the 2000s. I have to admit to liking wrestling wrestlers, guys who focused on what they did inside the ring.

Sorry for the songs associated with these tributes although I kind of like the first one. The clips are great though.

When I initially wrote down a list at home, pretty much all of my top favorites were ECW guys. I was borderline tempted to do three top tens: ten WWE, ten WCW, and ten ECW.

Ultimately I ended up where I did, with some guys known primarily for their ECW time (Dreamer, Sandman). Others spent some time there but moved on to greater acclaim in other companies (Austin, Foley, Guerrero).

I was gonna put HBK higher. But, he came a bit before my time, and others I grew up following from the bottom to the top.

Undertaker had to be 1 for me. Although I recall a short WCW run, I was around 6 years old when he debuted as Undertaker. He's had so many incredible feuds and matches with such a range of opponents. I recall matches with Flair, Hogan, HBK, HHH, Foley, DDP, Kane, and countless others. Definite Hall of Fame wrestler with an "old school" mentality. I'm just glad I got to see him live, albeit once, for a brief Smackdown match teaming Kane/Undertaker vs. Jericho/Big Show.

By the way, Jase, any list with Samoa Joe and Steamboat is great so far.
