What are the Top 100 Professional Wrestlers Of All Time?  I'll start;
1.) Rowdy Roddy Piper

Great on the microphone and severely hated in the 80s  :thumbup:

Gotta go with my all time favorite. A big guy who shows ridiculous agility and whose gimmick has made him one of the most popular wrestlers in the last 20 years. He's slowed down in recent years (he's 46 after all, and his knees are suffering), but it's still crazy watching the guy in person.

Senior aged and crazy, Terry Funk's probably the most indestructible old man you'll ever meet. One of the wrestling vets who helped put ECW on the map, he's known for his memorable "deathmatches" in Japan, where he's been wrapped in barb wire, had beds of nails dropped on him, gone through tables, and been set on fire more than a few times. He's also gotta be the oldest man to ever do a moonsault... which, sadly, I could find neither a good YouTube clip nor still shot of.  :bluesad:

The longest-reigining world champ (10+ years), he could also legitimately take down pretty much anyone he wanted to at any time.

10.) Big Van Vader

A big man with some big moves back in the day.  He was a monster in WCW.

Speaking of Vader and my fascination with people who shouldn't be physically capable of moonsaulting (but do so anyway), I nominate a two-for-one at No.11 - The Headhunters.

12) The British Bulldog (RIP)



Back in the early 90's Davey-Boy Smith was a local hero, with Warrington being a 10 minute drive from where I used to live. His match with Bret Hart at Summerslam '92 was the first time I ever saw wrestling and I was hooked on it until early 2002.

13.)
Stone Cold Steve Austin- A guy who was not only a decent wrestler in the ring, at least earlier on, but had an incredible character that essentially helped to relaunch the WWF/WWE when they needed it the most.  One of the most popular of all time, and still gets a crazy reaction.
