Method Wrote:That's where Im confused s far as these lists.

Are these personal favorite lists?

I thought it was top 25 by the impact they had on the sport. That's why I say Hogan, Rock, Ric Flair.

Not so much cuz they're my personal favorites, per se, but rather I think they have had the biggest impact on the sport.

Just my opinion, and yeah, I have been watching wrestling since the mid-70's, so I am aware of most of these guys (and then some).

I think you have to look at it as far as impact on the sport and my list is even deeper, as I have sections that rank guys based on a particular aspect that they may have pioneered, for example, on my list of top 25 I have Abdullah the Butcher and Mike Foley...and they are toward the back of the list....my reasoning...both those men were HUGE in making the "hardcore" style of wrestling...HOWEVER, the "harcore" style is often a shunned and generally looked down upon aspect of the sport, therefore I placed it on the tail end of the list....

I can promise you my number 1 pick...is by far nowhere near my personal favorite...as a matter of fact...I don't even know if he makes the top 10 if I were to use my personal favorites for the list...maybe not even top 15. For example...I was a HUGE Lord Humongous fan...but you will not see him on this list.

So here is it:

25.) Great Muta
24.) Bill Goldberg
23.) Mick Foley
22.) Abdullah the Butcher
21.) Randy Savage
20.) Sabu
19.) Ray Mysterio Jr.
18.) The Rock
17.) The Ultimate Warrior
16.) Mr. Wrestling II
15.) Sting
14.) The Undertaker
13.) Roddy Piper
12.) El Santo
11.) Dusty Rhoads
10.) Carlos Colon
9.) Bob Backlund
8.) Bruno Sanmartino
7.) Wahoo McDanial
6.) Tony Atlas
5.) Harley Race
4.) Stone Cold Steve Austin
3.) Ric Flair
2.) Andre the Giant
1.) Hulk Hogan
