Irish Wolf Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Are just talking dead or are we talking retired as well. If we're just talking dead then Junkyard Dog I loved JD when I was a kid. If we're talking no longer active than I think my favorite would be Steamboat I loved watching him in the ring as well. Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart would devinately be two others on the top of wish they weren't dead list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerlito Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i miss owen hart earthquake and eddie but i do miss jyd [junk yard dog]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think i miss Eddie most, just because he had seemingly turned his life around, but it was all too late for him. But, being English Davey Smith would be pretty near the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky0880 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Brian Pillman who was my favorite wrestler, Curt Hennig, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith and Rick Rude would be my choices. All of them had immense talent and were taken too soon. I think it's a bit disrespectful how these people aren't in the "WWE Hall of Fame" while Eddie is.

weirdo_man Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Chrrrrrrrrrrrrris Jericho! I want him to come back and get his "temper tantrum" gimmick that he had in WCW where he used to smack chairs against stuff when he would lose matches.

Trashbear Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I miss the Taz character and his match style (although like Flair his matches tend to look the same), but person I really miss is Rick Rude. Talented in just about everything he did, and pretty highly thought of in the locker room. I miss all the people who were entertaining and contributed to wrestling though, be they retired or dead. Oh, and Big Bubba, too. Awesome heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackersan Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Everybody has a price... I miss the one and only Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. As far as I'm concerned he's still the best heel that was ever in the WWE(F) and today's heels still are in his shadow. He had such great charisma and was really ahead of his time. It's really a shame he never was able to have a run with the title (thanks to the red and yellow hold on the WWF at the time) and I would love to see him come back in a manager or authority role.

He would never carry The Ultimate Warrior to a barely passable match at Wrestlemania 6, dude. Just playing, man. That gimmick is one of the top five best of all time, and the man behind it is one of if not the best wrestler to never hold the World Title.

PositivelyDan Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I don't know about this one. There's so many performers that could have, should have and would have been at the top of my list, but I ultimately have to succumb to one wrestler. An underappreciated wrestler, no doubt, and one who should have taken the WCW to new heights in the late 1980's. Ranger Ross. That's right... the african-american army character could have played well against just about anyone. The brash and arrogant Flair against the straightlaced Ranger. The militant DOOM tag team of Butch Reed and Ron Simmons (that's the way they came off sometimes) against the hard-nosed and patriotic Ross and someone of good choice, like the Patriot. It's only a shame that he wasn't around in the WCW when Mark Bagwell was making a name for himself. Seriously, I miss "Iceman" King Parsons, the Von Erichs (except Mike ring-wise, wish none of them had died... and Lance, for he wasn't a real Von Erich) and mostly, Bruiser Brody, for with him we never would have seen Lex Luger acheive the polularity and titles that he did.

To anyone who doesn't know, Brody was (like a lot of veterans) upset that Luger got a mega-push for basically being an untalented muscle-man. So, when Luger and Brody were in a cage match, Brody decided to show the Narcissist that he meant business, and thus showed him his fingers, all of which had a razor blade attached. Luger climbed right the hell out of there. I can't remember which shoot had this story in it, but it had to be from someone who was in Florida when Luger started getting a push.
