I'd have to say The Undertaker, mainly because he and I used to be next door neighbors a few years ago.

In the 80's and early 90's Hulk Hogan was my favorite wrestler. Now the Undertaker is my favorite, but I enjoy watching Hogan make his return trips every now and then.

Yes, for a few years in Bellevue, which is a suburb of Nashville, TN. He and his wife, at the time, had dogs and so did I. And my dog would run off overnight on occasion and after a while, we just quit worrying about him because he kept coming back. Finally, this woman knocks on my door one day and introduces herself as my neighbor and asks if I've been wondering where my dog has been periodically at night. I said yes of course, and she told me that my dog had become good friends with her dogs, so she let him spend the night with them sometimes. A little weird I know, but it was alright with me once I found out that she was Mark's(the undertaker) wife.
He was very cool, and surprisingly very quiet when I talked to him, very humble. And he had a bunch of cool toys....at least one Harley bike, a Vette, a Pathfinder, etc., and a very nice home. And he threw several parties where a bunch of very large dudes would show up, I'm guessing fellow wrestlers. I never got close enough to recognize any of them, but I'm assuming they were colleagues. I've got more stories I'll share when I have more time....and if you want.

Sorry Nature Boy but my all time favorite is Rowdy Roddy Piper. He was the best bad guy in his younger days. He was hilarious in the things he did. That time in Wrestlemania when he blew that huge snot rocket on Cindi Lauper then beat Mr T. with his belt was classic! I got the chance to talk with him one time at the Township Auditorium and he was very cool. He wore his Hot Rod/Woman Maker T Shirt and kilt into the ring that night and beat the fool out of Sgt. Slaughter.

Swamp, Piper was great, especially at antics which pushed the story line along, but nobody and I mean NOBODY has ever bled real blood as often as the Nature Boy.
I thought the blood was always staged for the longest time and I think now days it just about all is. :( But back then, Flair in fact bled real blood all over the place. He was convincing and for good reason.
When I was about 17, I was within a few feet of Flair after a cage match and was absolutely stunned to see that his forehead was in fact torn open. :eek:
I'll give props to the guys that fly all over the place nowadays. Call it what you want, but doing a gainer off the top turn-buckle and landing flat on your back......
Well damn, Natch. That's pretty hard to top.

Glad to see that someone still remembers me in my prime. All I hear now is washed up, has been and stooge. :(

Don't get me wrong! I love The Nature Boy and I am a huge fan of his. I just like Piper's antics. Although his new Piper's Pit is a hollowed out shell of his old classic ones. When he hit Superfly Snuka with that coconut now that was entertainment!
Space Mountain is the BEST OF ALL TIME no doubt about it. I just like Piper a little better as an entertainer. In the ring, you're right, no one can match Ric Flair!

My all-time favorite has to be Sting. Good Christian guy who was a good wrestler too. All class, all the time.

There is a good chance you could see Sting in the squared circle once again. WWE is in talks with bringing back Sting to the world of pro wrestling. He could him here by the next ppv which is in June. We will have to wait and see.
