If you had to choose one guy to represent American Wrestling

[Rollermacka]

So if you could choose one currently active man that would represent an "American Wrestler" who would it be? Would it be someone who is a physical specimen like John Cena or Orton? Would it be someone who is a smaller man but is a master technician like Austin Aries or Daniel Bryan? Would you go the complete opposite and go with someone completely massive like Big Show or Mark Henry?

[Lock Jaw]

Hulk Hogan

[Razzamajazz]

all of the above. seriously, what a hard question

[Dark One]

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Seth Rollins.

[Lock Jaw]

If you meant someone from the current roster, then John Cena.

[Vastardikai]

Iron Shiek. :shifty:

[KayfabeMan]

Dixie Carter

[DAMN iNATOR]

Angle. He's not only an Olympic gold medalist, but he's fought through having a broken freakin' neck. And also because he's just a sexy Kurt who'll make your ankle hurt.:shifty:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Brock Lesnar

[Ruien]

John Cena

[VSG]

Does Vinny Mac count?

[DaveBrawl]

Brock Lesnar

[Heisenberg]

Kurt Angle

HYAH!!!!!!!!!!!SKANK!!!!!!!!DIYATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!AOIT, EET HAAHH

[Nark Order]

Brock Lesnar

[Emperor Smeat]

Brock Lesnar

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kurt Angle

HYAH!!!!!!!!!!!SKANK!!!!!!!!DIYATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!AOIT, EET HAAHH

Go Green Ranger Go!

[Seth82]

would Ric Flair count?

if so then yes.

if not then probably Cena.

[James Steele]

Triple H

[Vastardikai]

I can only think of one person who fits the package of not just an "American Wrestler," but of an "American." And I dare anyone, and lord do I mean ANYONE, to prove otherwise.

[Stealth-Icon]

Only a Real American like Jack Swagger can represent

[Ermaximus]

Zeb Coulter

[weather vane]

Gotta go Hogan obvs.

If not then Ric Flair or Randy Savage in their prime...

[Swiss Ultimate]

John Cena.

[Swiss Ultimate]

If Kurt Angle hadn't failed at life, I imagine him and Cena would be the Hogan and Savage of WWE right now.

[MrSmokeydogg7]

Hugh Jackmon, he's ripped as fuck he's Wolverine. He can have you're wife right now and you wouldn't be able to do shit about it he'd woop you're fucking ass and fuck her right in front of you.... btw having metal claws would help in wrestling

[CSL]

present day, John Cena or Randy Orton.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When do you guys think Hugh Jackman gets put into the WWE Hall of Fame?

[MIZantine Empire]

I'm taking a different route. Dolph Ziggler. More times than not it seems a guy can go completely from being on top, to falling to oblivion due to any circumstance. That is what I think of when I think of American wrestling. You can insert a number of names here, but to me that fits pretty good

[Wishbone]

If we're talking about picking a guy to represent America as a nation, and if we can pick anyone past or present then I pick the obvious Hulk Hogan. If we're going by the same thing but need a current guy then I'd pick John Cena.

Now if we're going by guy that should represent American in-ring wrestling then I'd go with Kurt Angle in his prime. If past isn't an option again then I'd go Daniel Bryan.

[Bad News Gertner]

Definitely Bret Hart

I was talking to a few friends the other day and we were talking about how wrestlers from other countries are seen in America. Usually a wrestler from Mexico would have a mask, mostly acrobatic or areal style and is a much faster paced wrestler. A wrestler from Japan would be a smaller wrestler, with less of a focus on "physique" and more on different types of "martial arts" style strikes and throws. Now when it comes to a wrestler from America, the variety ranges of what a "wrestler from America" would look and how he would wrestle.

Interesting conversation....


Adding to it maybe....


Wrestlers from the UK are usually "tough brawlers".

Any wrestler not from Mexico, Japan, or the UK are automatically dastardly foreign heels. (And half the time if they are from those places, they are dastardly heels too)

When I think of a UK wrestler I think along the lines of a technical mat wrestler. Much like William Regal, Doug Williams or Dave Taylor. That isn't to say there aren't wrestlers from Europe or Japan who don't look like bodybuilders.

[Curd]

Not the best known internationally, but they embody the American entrepreneurial spirit:
Chris Hero for opening his own wrestling consultancy
Tara for owning five businesses with her husband, one of which is a wrestling-themed restaurant

[FourFifty]

Yea, Swagger.
He's not a merch moving monster, but he can kill it in the ring when given the chance. He has a good amateur background and has transitioned well into the pro style. He looks legit.

That, or Dolph Ziggler.

[cnoslim]

Triple H

[KIRA]

Because I'd wanna send what has to be an accident of nature Brock Lesnar.

The weird thing is I'm not really even a fan of his.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

New Answer:

Paul Heyman.

[drave]

Paul Fucking Titan bleeds Freedom.

Fuck all you with other answers.

[Tom Guycott]

"Paul Titan Bleeds Freedom" should be on a shirt.

Seriously, Rollermacka... do that shit!

You know, I actually have an American Flag on my left shoulder with an eagle on it.

Was watching the AAA World Cup and thought about this question again....

Team USA (TNA)
EC3
Tyrus
Eli Drake

Team USA (LU)
Johnny Mundo
Brian Cage
Chavo Guerrero Jr


Would you say these wrestlers "represent" professional wrestling in America?

Cage and EC3 cover it pretty well.

[Simple Fan]

I'd put Eli Drake in there with them Cage and EC3 as well. Dude is going to be a hit once he turns face.
