Question

it's good, i like it. here are some icebreakin' questions

1. who's your favorite?

2. who's the best?

3. what's your favorite part?

4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches?

for me, it goes like this

1. my favorite wrestler ever is Jushin Thunder Liger. first time I saw him, he was unforgettable. the more i learned about wrasslin, the more i liked him.

2. in ring, the best to ever do it is El Hijo Del Santo. on the mic it's probably Eddie Kingston at this point huh?

3. I watch a lot of old stuff and international stuff, so my favorite part is seeing what parts of wrasslin make it across the borders and the decades.

4. my favorite moment is this one with Austin Idol.

Answer

1. Sting and Taker are the reasons I fell in love with wrestling, but if I had to choose just one favourite, it'd be Sami Zayn. I'm also a huge fan of Adam Page, Bull Nakano, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, and Preston Vance.

2. Probably Manami Toyota, but I can never answer that question with just one person. Old school Japanese women's wrestling is some of the most engaging and innovative all around, though.

3. My favourite part? The tension, the emotion, the way a strong character and storyline can pull me in.

4. Right now, my favourite match is Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon at HIAC 2017, but I think Sami and Kevin have had some of the best story arcs from Ring of Honor to WWE. My favourite *recent* moment is 10 getting the pin in the main event of the Brodie Lee tribute. Moved me to tears, I was so happy for him.

Answer

1. Terry Funk! No matter how many times he did the "My eye.. Damn it, Mick, my eye, I wince in horror. No better seller in the history of wrestling...

2. Right now? When Eddie Kingston grabs the mic, I'm glued to the TV...

3. I love when a lower/midcarder finally has his coming out moment, going toe to toe with a big star, and either puts up a hell of fight, or defeats him. My head exploded when Kevin Owens first defeated John Cena...

4. ECW One Night Stand 2006 (the whole card). I had been itchin' for an ECW fix for 4 and half long years and that show did not disappoint.

I dig all wrestling, though. From the time I discovered it on a Saturday morning in 1980-something, it was the only sport that mattered. They rest all seemed so phony....

28 year pro wrestler on the indys. From Georgia but wrestle all over. Feel free to add me

Answer

1) Tough call, The Undertaker I guess. 2) Can I say Undertaker Again? 3) The finish (if it's good, of course). 4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqRYKCH8dUc

Answer

1. Current favorite is Jon Moxley. One of the few pieces of WWE merch I had was his "Ambrose Asylum" zip-hoodie that I treated myself to in grad school. His matches in WWE were great but his matches in AEW have been bonkers! Mustafa Ali is also growing on me.

2. Who's the best? Oof that is a tough call. It's just so subjective, but Roman Reigns is on another level right now. Best performance of his career.

3. Favorite part is a good question. I would say the myriad coverage on 411Mania/wrestling and also Botchamania.

4. One of my favorite moments is when Eddie Guerrero finally won the WWE Title. Best match is a REALLY broad question. I'm glad I got to see Undertaker live before he retired, though. All the way back at Survivor Series '09.

1. who's your favorite?

kid me was obsessed with Goldberg for some reason. I stopped watching for like 10 years and got back into wrestling in 2014. My favs now are Su Yung, Effy, Zack Sabre Jr., Allie Kat,

2. who's the best?

Mick Foley

Answer

1. Who's your favorite?

My favourite of all time is Sting, I was a huge WCW kid growing up.

Big shout outs though to Billy Kidman and British Bulldog!

2. Who's the best?
The Hitman!

3. what's your favorite part?
Definitely the surprise pop when
someone unexpected turns up and the crowd go nuts!

4. what's one of your favorite
moments or matches?I always loved the Hardy Boys vs
Edge/Christian and the Dudley TLC matches.

I started as a fan in the early
90’s with WWF then switched to WCW in the late 90’s because it was on free to
air TV.

Then I lost touch with wrestling for a
decade until I started on TNA and reuniting with old friends to watch the
annual Royal Rumble or Mania.

Only recently got back into it
with the birth of AEW which I’m thoroughly enjoying.

Would love to chat about it with people on here as Twitter and the dirt sheets are far too toxic for me!

@Luke heck yeah!

After the end of the Monday Night Wars, my fandom went dormant again until I discovered TNA and ROH; most of my exposure to ECW was restrospectively. The rise of NXT and AEW thrilled me too - but I wanna spend more time watching New Japan.

Answer

1. My favorite of all time has to be AJ Styles. Growing up on TNA as a kid he did some awesome stuff in the ring. But another one of my top 2 was always Chris Jericho. He was so funny to watch and to see the many iterations of his character.

2. The best of all time has to be AJ Styles personally. He genuinely can make a brick look like a million bucks in the ring. Him and Daniel Bryan are top notch talents.

3. My favorite part of wrestling are the long term stories. Something that keeps me wanting to watch week after week is what I'm all about. Also the cool flips.

4. My favorite moment has to be the Paul Heyman speech from the first ECW One Night Stand. Just a passionate man having one last hooray surround buy fans and colleagues that cared about the shows he put on. And the pure emotion in that speech was PHENOMENAL.

2. who's the best? Brodie Lee/Luke Harper came to mind ️

3. what's your favorite part? I don’t even know how to begin to describe this lol.

4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? I always love Royal Rumble matches regardless of who wins. The Undertaker/Shawn WM matches always have a special place in my heart.

Answer

1. Kenny Omega

2. It's a tie between Ric Flair and The Undertaker. Ric Flair has 16 world titles, while The Undertaker has managed to keep himself relevant all the way from the Golden Era to the WWE of today. If we're talking about tag teams, then it would be The Dudley Boys. Statistically, they're the greatest tag team in wrestling history.

3. The storylines and the athleticism.

4. This one's a no-brainer: the 7-star masterpiece that is Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada from Dominion 2018. It was the first time, in over 20 years as a wrestling fan, that I cried tears of joy after the match because I knew that I watched something special, something that would probably never come around again in my lifetime. If you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

1. Some of my favorites are The Rock, Rob Van Dam, Taz, Stone Cold and AJ Styles

2. Ric Flair & Terry Funk some of the best of all time.

3. My favorite parts of wrestling is the entertainment, hardcore stuff, story telling, characters, promos, a good back to back match. Whether its strong style or old school. I like alot of the high flying and lucha spots too but not the whole time im watching.

4. One of my favorite matches is definitely the royal rumble in general. Thats definitely one of the big reasons I like WWE specifically

anyone watching Full Gear on AEW tonight??

Answer

FULL GEAR was fantastic! MJF/Darby was match of the night for me but Hangman winning was moment of the night for me. Really good ppv!

Answer

1. who's your favorite? - Definitely got to go with Triple H. Chris Jericho is a close 2nd. 2. who's the best? - That's a question that's almost impossible to answer. But I'll go with Hulk Hogan. As much as I don't care for his character or in ring ability. The guy pushed the industry into the mainstream.  3. what's your favorite part? - Favorite part, that would be losing myself in a good story and feud. You know, one where the wrestlers have great chemistry together and just work the match to perfection.  4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? - Moments would have to be a episode of Raw in 1999. It was Undertaker vs. The Rock in a casket match. The corporate ministry locked the Rock in a casket, and at this moment I became a huge fan of Triple H, and the heel character, when he introduced us to the sledgehammer & just started demolishing the casket with The Rock lying helpless inside it.

Answer

1. who's your favorite?

I love Orange Cassidy a lot. I am a fan of comedic wrestling and just his charisma gets me a lot.

2. who's the best?

Depends. MJF, CM Punk, and Eddie Kingston kills it with promos. As for matches, I think Kenny Omega is up there Jon Moxley and Hangman too. I would put Mick Foley up on the top for greatest wrestler back in the 90s.

3. what's your favorite part?

I love matches with energy. Bring out a no dq match and I will be glued to my seat

4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches?

Undertaker vs. Foley is one I can think of on top of my head. There are a lot of great matches. It would take forever to go though them all lmao

3. what's your favorite part?

The crowd.

4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches?

Any Stone Cold moment. Particularly, single handedly destroying WCW during the Invasion when he chose WWE.

MJF/CM Punk roasting each other for the first 20 min of Dynamite was fire!

Answer

I have been an AEW fan since it began, and I’ve even collected the majority of the figures they’ve released too lol. I stopped watching WWE altogether, NXT 2.0 included. I just don’t like it like I used to when I was younger. I can’t wait to see what AEW’s future holds, and can’t wait to see who else walks thru the entrance ramp #LetHimIn #NoMoreWords

Yaaaasssss I am here for wrasslin talk! I'm a lapsed die hard WWF/E fan from the attitude & ruthless aggression eras. I am now in love with AEW.

1. who's your favorite? All time wrestler, Triple H (don't judge me!) I adored him when I was a WWE fan. All time personality, Mick Foley. I will forever love him. Current favourite, probably Eddie Kingston. He keeps me glued to the tv screen.

2. who's the best? Best wrestler of all time would have to be Bryan Danielson. I didn't know much of him until he came to AEW but holy shit he's amazing. Just leaves me in awe.

3. what's your favorite part? Discovering new people! I didn't watch wrestling for 15 or so years, so I love learning about everyone coming in to AEW, discovering all the ties between everyone, and finding new favourites.

4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? All time greatest match is the HBK/Hart iron man match. Second is the HBK/Razor Ramon ladder match. They are perfection. My favourite of the current generation would be the Omega/Danielson match at the AEW Grand Slam. Just spectacular.

Best in the world is back.

1. who's your favorite? As of now? Eddie Kingston 2. who's the best? Hard to say, but either Ultramantis Black, Pentagon Jr, Chris Kanyon, god I could go on forever.  3. what's your favorite part? The pure emotion and action of the matches 4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? Misawa VS Kobashi 2003, CZW Cage Of Death 2004, the six man from barely legal 97, Do Fixer VS Blood Generation from Supercard Of Honor 2006, Triple H vs. Cactus Jack Royal Rumble 2000, I could go on lol

Answer

1. who's your favorite? Has to be MJF or CM Punk at this point, I love Maki Itoh as well.  2. who's the best? In ring? Im a huge fan of what Swerve Strickland has been doing for awhile. On mic though, I love Christian Cage lol 3. what's your favorite part? The storytelling, the raw emotions of it all. I fully believe wrestling is an art form.  4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? CM Punk vs MJF dog collar match.... one of the best modern feuds imo.

Answer

1. who's your favorite? I have several.  Jon Moxley is up there at the top, though.  Love Kip Sabian, Penelope Ford, Danhausen (character work is amazing), Darby Allin... Carmello Hayes, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins... Forever will love the likes of: Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Brodie Lee, Bray Wyatt... Growing up The Hardyz, Lita, Sting, were all favorites, as well. A lot of these guys I mentioned,  I've gotten to see live or meet, multiple times, some even before they became "famous". A few of them up there that I have met, were genuinely amazing humans/humble/kind etc. 2. who's the best? Oof. That's such a loaded question, tbh. It's also one of those questions that is ultimately opinion based. I could overall say, "same as above" and each respectively having their own atributes as to why.  3. what's your favorite part? Wrestling had always been my escape... from reality and such.  Its an amazing art form, the stories that captivate you and pull you in... I've literally grown up with wrestling,  being around wrestling, etc.  Because of my grandfather & my godfather. And now,  my kids love it too.  4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? That's also a tough one to answer... there are truly so many. Eddie Guerrero winning the championship... Moxley winning & even his debut in AEW... Just about anytime that Bray Wyatt was on the mic,  he just had a way to pull you in... There's so many more and I'm just drawing a blank at the moment.

Answer

1. who's your favorite? Eddie Kingston! Watching his rise has been amazing and he inspires me to keep going 2. who's the best? Hangman Adam Page! His feud w Swerve Strickland gave me everything I wanted and he just has a way to keep me interested in how he's going to destroy his own life. 3. what's your favorite part?  First blood. The second blood is introduced, especially if it's hard way on a match that didn't have it planned, the entire feeling of a match changes for me. lmao I'm like a vampire like that 4. what's one of your favorite moments or matches? Number 1 favorite moment of my life, Nyla Rose winning the women's championship in Austin, TX. I was in the crowd that night, just had my wisdom teeth taken out and I'm high on pain killers. I don't remember much about that night but the image of her holding that title will forever live in my memory
