Cena at #16 my fucking ass....and Batista at #49? Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.......

itsmeJD 11-13-2010 11:26 AM

Though I think my favorite may be #18....N/A had an epic run.

Xero 11-13-2010 11:27 AM

N/A is clearly Benoit.

itsmeJD 11-13-2010 11:30 AM

LOL, so what the fuck are they gonna do on the DVD? Skip #18? or say his name reaaaalllly fast and move forward as if nothing happened?

itsmeJD 11-13-2010 11:35 AM

Though in looking I'm surprised to see Jeff Hardy's name on the list all things considered. And Ric Flair at #17 is a fucking shame...Cena > Flair? Not likely, in ANY category.

Just put up a "scene missing" sign for five minutes.

Kapoutman 11-13-2010 11:40 AM

Top 5 is pretty good at least.

Xero 11-13-2010 11:42 AM

I'm glad to see TNA guys actually making the cut, especially Angle. Obviously in a perfect world he'd be top ten easily, but just to have him on there is awesome.

True. I'm surprised they didn't put Cena #1. I'm ok with the top 5. I might switch the order a little bit because I do feel Flair should have been there. I respect Undertaker and what he's done for wrestling, but to say he can tell a better story in the ring than Slick Ric is silly.

Xero 11-13-2010 11:44 AM

I also have a problem with Cena being above Hogan.

itsmeJD 11-13-2010 11:45 AM

I have a feeling James Steele is gonna be pissed when he says where Trips is placed....ouch.

I agree completely. Their wrestling ability is basically tit for tat, and Hogan was the fucking wrestling God of the 80's. While Cena may be their poster boy now, he in no way compares to those on this list.

maybe they could pixelate his face Cops style, but no one could talk about him due to the WWE Gag order, so they would just pan to wrestlers staring at the camera or looking around the room. Then onto #17.....

Evil Vito 11-13-2010 11:49 AM

<font color=goldenrod>#18 isn't Benoit. Flair and Dusty tied for #17, and as such there is no 18 by default.

Think of it as in sports. If two teams are tied in 1st place, the next closest team is technically in 3rd place.

That being said, I don't know why they couldn't have just put one at 17 and one at 18 instead of making it a fucking tie.</font>

VSG 11-13-2010 11:49 AM

Hogan and Cena exchanging places makes it a good list.

BizarroKing 11-13-2010 11:50 AM

N/A should have been number 1.

Also this is what they will talk about Beniot should he actually be in it.

The Ravishing One 11-13-2010 11:54 AM

#9 – Rey Mysterio

Really? I think he's good and worthy of this top 50 list, but not above the likes of Hogan, Flair, Triple H, Henning, Savage and Piper (plus more)

BizarroKing 11-13-2010 11:55 AM

If we need to complain about anything on this list, we need to complain about them leaving out the greatest wrestler of all time in the WWE. The only man to ever be undefeated in his WWE Career!

While this totally makes sense, I'm at work and would prefer to sit here and think of funny ways they could include Benoit without including Benoit. Please don't ruin my fun...I'm at work on a fucking Saturday, lol.

Oh and am I the only one interested in WWE putting together a BOTTOM 50 WWE Superstars DVD? Would be fucking awesome.

loopydate 11-13-2010 12:11 PM

My roommate and I were speculating on this when they first announced that the DVD was coming out, basically trying to come out with who had the 50 best WWE careers so, obviously, we weren't thinking about guys like Thesz or Bockwinkel, since they were never "Superstars". This is the list we came up with:

  1. Shawn Michaels
  2. Undertaker
  3. Steve Austin
  4. Bret Hart
  5. Hulk Hogan
  6. The Rock
  7. Triple H
  8. John Cena
  9. Ric Flair
  10. Kurt Angle
  11. Mick Foley
  12. Andre The Giant
  13. Chris Jericho
  14. Roddy Piper
  15. Randy Savage
  16. Eddie Guerrero
  17. Bob Backlund
  18. Bruno Sammartino
  19. Ultimate Warrior
  20. Ted DiBiase
  21. Edge
  22. Jimmy Snuka
  23. Iron Sheik
  24. Tito Santana
  25. Jake Roberts
  26. Rey Mysterio
  27. Owen Hart
  28. Randy Orton
  29. Jeff Hardy
  30. Brock Lesnar
  31. Mr. Perfect
  32. Diesel
  33. Don Muraco
  34. Big Show
  35. Rick Rude
  36. Chris Benoit
  37. Terry Funk
  38. Batista
  39. Ricky Steamboat
  40. Paul Orndorff
  41. Rob Van Dam
  42. Dusty Rhodes
  43. Greg Valentine
  44. Kane
  45. Goldberg
  46. Razor Ramon
  47. Pedro Morales
  48. Davey Boy Smith
  49. CM Punk
  50. Booker T
  51. Yokozuna
We put 51, since we included Benoit. It's weird that our top four is identical to their list, but everything else on their list looks like it was randomized.

Aguakate 11-13-2010 12:21 PM

...Shawn Michaels is #1, and when it comes down to it, that's all that really matters.

Rammsteinmad 11-13-2010 12:31 PM

Wow, as much as I wish the guy was dead, Hogan should be a lot higher up.

And the #17 draw, with #18 being N/A is fucking lame. Come on WWE just pick one guy to be 17 and one to be 18.

Aguakate 11-13-2010 12:37 PM

...Maybe #18 is Owen Hart, and they are trying to not add fuel to Martha's fire by not mentioning him "per se".

SaskatchewanChamp 11-13-2010 12:47 PM

Too argue this list would be moot. The top 5, for the most part is right on.

FakeLaser 11-13-2010 01:03 PM

This is a horrible list

Dante69 11-13-2010 01:18 PM

bullshit list

The Naitch 11-13-2010 01:34 PM

Hogan's gonna be pissed

Fox 11-13-2010 01:35 PM

Cena over Flair? Give me a fucking break.

That's what I said. It's absurd to put Flair so low on this list. I knew it was bullshit when Botchtista was ranked #49

Nicky Fives 11-13-2010 01:50 PM

Cena above Flair is laughable, Mysterio in the Top 10 is beyond questionable, especially since Hoagn is at #23.... my money is on Hogan being top 10 if he weren't in TNA.....

LuigiD 11-13-2010 02:12 PM

Awful. Hogan should be at least in the top 10 regardless of what you think of the guy. Edge ahead of Bruno Sammartino? nothing wrong with Edge..but to imagine Edge having more influence than Bruno is offensive.

James Steele 11-13-2010 02:13 PM

List lost all credibility at #12. What is the point of fucking the boss' daughter if you are only 15 spots better than The Fabulous Moolah.

That can always be corrected...PARTY LIKE ITS 2003 BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSS

thedamndest 11-13-2010 02:42 PM

There is no 18 because Flair and Rhodes tied at 17, thus making the next number 19.

yup, was addressed above. Regardless that was a stupid way of doing it. The list is already beyond bullshit anyway, just make one 17 and one 18.

Attitude99 11-13-2010 04:23 PM

Benoit Owen Hart And Kane are missin

CSL 11-13-2010 04:34 PM

lol @ Hogan's spot. He'd be Top 3/5 if he was available for the DVD.
