Wrestlers who would do anything for wrestling...
 

Just thinking, who do you think are some guys who are not in it for themselves but for the greater good of their company and/or the industry as a whole?

Terry Funk comes to mind immediately, as does The Undertaker.

Funk because of how he just continued years after his expiration date and made it work, to get the younger guys over.

Taker for a similar reason. He always seems to be in it for the best of the business. Not only being the locker room leader that he is, but also for putting over such shit guys like Khali, Gonzalez, etc. Especially in the case of Khali, I'm positive he could have vetoed it, but didn't, in order to (try to) get Khali over.

Kane

Ditto for Kane. Also, Val Venis.

Tommy Dreamer

Ric Flair during the NWA territory days and before his divorce/finiancial problems since he was influential in a lot of promotions and loved to wrestler for the sake of crowd reactions and enjoyment.

I also want to say Andre the Giant mainly due to helping to make Hogan huge by feuding with him leading to the moment of Wrestlemania 3 and helping make wrestling popular in Japan.

On the Rise and Fall of ECW, Heyman basically says it was Funk who helped the company survive the early years by putting over the younger workers since he knew they were the ones who would help push the company/industry in the future.

hogan?
errrrr, i mean lance storm

Shawn Michaels

I bet he wouldny have put over a gay black wrestler

Fixed.

also, id do anything for a slice of beer soaked chicken. and id do anything if someone could kill my loud neighbours

DDP

a lot of wrestlers owe their careers to that guy

Name 4

Leave my shit alone

You're wrong.

LMAO!!!!!!

Its my opinion you cuntbag, it cant be wrong

anyone under 40 at wcw

Chris Benoit, I mean when his family got in the way...

In my opinion the sky is green.

John Cena certainly.

Actually, I think most of the guys today for into that category.

Well......Chris did get his son over cos of the murder

more than Ric did to get David over anyway.

A hard pat on the back for the murder lover

Vince McMahon, and I think Bischoff.

So you have watched the sky and spent time thinking about it and your 'opinion' is that the sky is green? Great dude, i think its blue but good luck

Sting

the guy personifies company loyalty

Ask him to actually retire, see what happens.

I just text him there and asked him

I offered him $4 to jump into my barb wire fence and he said 'yes of course, that would be a lovely big sum of money, i've been embarrassing myself and spoiling my legacy for almost 25 years so why stop now' the last two lines he said were inaudible as he gurgled his own blood

man he sucks

Triple H

WWE would be fucked today if it wasn't for the stars Triple H made.

Some may argue with this but I'm going to have to agree with James on this one. Batista and Randy Orton owe their status to Triple H and Evolution.

That and Triple H would do anything to help the buisness, though sometimes his ideas of what "helps" the buisness is ill advised.

Steve Regal.

Mick Foley?

When HBK came back in 2002, he jobbed to absolutely everyone in the company. Except this time around, he didn't need World Titles to keep his smile, didn't need to go over at the biggest PPV's. And he put on the best matches. The absolute best. Tremendous.

Foley is another good one. What about Jericho? Despite the break he took, which was understandable considering the incredible schedule these guys work, I feel like Jericho has almost always done just about everything he can for the WWE.

I also wanna add that Jericho JUST did it for Swagger, and he'll likely be doing it again for Daniel Bryan when he hits the main roster.

I wanna say Goldust in recent months but I'm not sure he counts

Triple H would do anything for wrestling, no matter what it was (i.e. Katie Vick angle)

Probably would be easier to narrow the list down to people who have parents or relatives in wrestling and those who don't need to worry about making money and can wrestle for fun.

Would make it easier to include someone like an Orton or Rock where they continue the family wrestling tradition or someone like a Cena or Hogan where they are financially secured so they don't need to worry about viewing wrestling as a paycheck-style job.

HULK HOGAN!!!1!one!
