Johnny Sorrow Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Does Tonga Kid/ Tama count? Cause he was fucking great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Peter Maivia, without him none of the rest would even be in wrestling. ETA: Well, the majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm probably leaning Rikishi but I wasn't sure if I overlooked anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hmm Haku could be up there too. Umaga's first run was tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Oh shit yeah, Haku! I'd put Rock behind Fatu and Haku. And I think if Umaga had lived longer, rock would be behind him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Holy shit! Tonga Kid was 17/18 when he debuted? He's only 3 years older than Hunter? WTF? That family tree is blowing my mind. I had no idea Umaga and Rikishi (and Tama!) were brothers, I just thought everyone was cousins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Haku isn't Samoan. He's Tongan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I wouldn't say Yokozuna was "the best" necessarily, but he was an amazing worker for his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Is Haku not Tongan? The answer is probably Rikishi but I have a soft spot for Umaga. And Farmer Boy Ipo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 okay okay so no Haku. But I'll put Yoko up there under Rikishi instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino_Not_Deuce Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Triple H as a corrupted by power dickhead trying to wave away his actions with terrible justification is maybe the most perfect development of a wrestling character I've ever seen as it hits the nail so perfectly on public perception of him. Losing the silly hair makes him look even more like an untrustworthy asshole too as it really looks like he'd tell you one thing in a business meeting and the next thing you know, your shop is on fire and you have two broken knees.

notoriusvig Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Any word out on the new Lex Luger book? I read the small bit on F4W and it sounds interesting. I didn't know he was born again either. Of course, his book could end up like HBK's book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietShooter Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If their new thing is that everything is real, and there is no where else to work but WWE, then they should start attaching $ values to victories. It would make losing streaks mean something (poor Zach Ryder can't even afford a six-pack of Pabst Blue these days). It would explain how Big Show went broke, as he was 2-8 on PPV's last year. Well, that was the gimmick up until the end of kayfabe. Winners got more than losers, and champions made more than anyone. Why was the Heavyweight Title the #1 title? Because being the World champ paid more than the US/IC/whatever champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelemania Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Oh shit yeah, Haku! I'd put Rock behind Fatu and Haku. And I think if Umaga had lived longer, rock would be behind him too. So maybe we should first define what you mean by "best." The Rock is the clear cut most successful. As far as the actual craft is concerned, as in the bell-to-bell, that's kind of subjective.

brandonr4s Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Was never all that impressed with Rock as a worker. He was in the greatest WM main event ever, but I very rarely seek out old Rock matches to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Was never all that impressed with Rock as a worker.He was in the greatest WM main event ever, but I very rarely seek out old Rock matches to watch.When you watch four weeks of Raw/SmackDown and then the PPV, Rock matches are awesome. Needs context to really enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
