Loose Cannon

24) Dink: See, I told you another little guy was coming. If you read some of my other posts about Dink, you know he is one of my favorites. I truely admire the Dinkster and appreciate all that he has done for the sport. You could tell he wreslted every match as best as little people can and he never backed down from a challenege. Like I have mentioned before, Dink had the ability to make his opponent believe he would do one thing and then Dink would do something totally different. Like in WM 10, when Dink went to punch Luna and Luna got scared. But he didn't really punch her, instead he smacked her on her ass. Can you say PSYCHOLOGY AT IT'S BEST? Sadly, Dink didn't last long as he was called back to his regular job as a circus clown in Munchkin Land.


23) Koko B Ware: The Bird Man was a class act back in the 80's. I always used to stand up and wave my arms back and forth like a bird whenever he came down the isle. And those glasses he wore. Woah, those definatelly defined the term "HIP." Koko brang his freind Franky, a parrot, to the ring with him all the time. Sadly, Franky never really got invloved in any of Koko's matches as he just sort of sat outside the ring. I always waited for a time where Koko would just snap and tell Franky to "Sick," but I was denied. Can you picture that heel turn in your head?" Koko is fighting Hogan in a babyface matchup, Hogan beats him, then all of a sudden Koko gets pissed and unleahses Franky on the Hulkster. Well we were all denied not to see that happen. Wow, I just got a little off topic. Anyway, Koko was a really good high flyer in the ring and soured with the best of them.


22) Tugboat: Tugbaot was a sailor from....well I only think he practiced sailing from his pool at home. But anyways, he was a pretty dam good wrestler for a big man. I always liked the bearhugs he preformed in the ring. I've never really seen so much passion for that move as Tugboat had for it. Tugboat was a freind of Hulk Hogan when he started off because I guess Hogan needed some tips on how to stay a flaot in the World Title picture or something.


21) Berzerker: Yeah, this guy had one or two strings loose, but hey, can you deny the guys enthusiasm for the sport. Berzerker was a viking that carried a sword into the ring with him. He almost killed Undertaker one times by almost stabbing him with the sword. Sadly, he missed and we've had to sit through Taker matches for about 9 yrs since then.


20) Buff Bagwell: Charisma, Wrestling ability, Devotion to the art of selling, the Blockbuster. Yeah, Buff really did have all the Stuff. Bagwell was a decent tag wrestler in WCW, but when he joined the NWO, he carreer took off. Bagwell was the flagship of that group. He came to the ring wearing a Mad Hatter type of hat and jumped around waving his arms a lot. I think his strongest part was selling moves though. He was great at taking armbars and headlocks. Bagwell worked out of the rinf as well as he can be seen in such Hit Movies as, "Lethal Ladies of Savage Beach." A Cult Classic I might add.


19) David Arquette: The greatest WCW Champion of all-time. Did anybody see that coming? WCW must of been planning that for years because that was just a "HOLY SHIT." moment. And I say that in a good way. I think the bookers must have been taking there brain vitamins in order for them to come up with somethinf so well perfected as that World Title Win was. Arquette was very good in the ring and knew exactly how to play the crwod. Well he is a world renound actor, what did you expect? I mean, did you guys see Scream 2? Watch and Learn baby...Watch and Learn. Arquette was not only a great babyface, but a steller heel as well. The only reason he's not higher on my list is because he only wrestled for a limited amount of time. DAM


18) Bob Holly: Big Bad Bob "Sparkplug" Holly was and still is a talented performer. He first drove his way right into Titan Towers as a professional racecar driver. He left that job at home and soon showed off his skills in wrestling. You have to admire the guys will to compete, but it was/is his actions behind the scenes that really makes him the loving human being that he is. Bob works day in and day out helping "rookie" talent get over in the WWE. Bob lets these kids "bump" him for hours a day until he sun goes down. Not only that, but Bob is always pushing Vince to let these young kids get some TV Time once in a while. Bob loves the rookies of the WWE and has dedicated almost his whole professional wrestling career for fighting to give these kids a chance. Thankyou for your dedication Mr. Holly.


17) George Steel: This guy was an Animal, pun intended. George had a passion for ripping apart turnbuckles and then shaking them until all that white padding was removed from them. He was advid in the ring and I bet was an inspiration for a young A-Train at the time. But George had some classic battles with then I.C. Champion Randy Savage. The matches were nothing short of glamorous and George did his best to beat Randy, but he never did. At least he had four turnbuckles to destroy each week though.


16) Paul Roma: OH you bet he's on the list. Pretty Paul will probably be remembered for carrying the Four Horsemen to greatness back in the early 90's. When he held up the four fingers, you just knew you were witnessing something special. I usually hit that record button every time Roma came out for some TV time. Roma was also a part of one of the greatest teams ever in Power and Glory. Roma played the part of an arrogant heel to perfection and fans really hated the guy. I rememebr they used to flock to the arenas and pay there last dollar just to watch Roma get his assed kicked.


15) Hacksaw Jim Duggan: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You know you stood up and chanted that as a kid everytime he entered. Duggan came to the ring with confidence and always seemed o have a plan in that great big brain of his. I always envisioned Duggan as a Stocktrader on Wallstreet outside the ring because he just seemed like a brite person. I wonder what he is doing for cash these days? But in the ring, Duggan was an accomplished technical wrestler. He hit you with an array of stunning moves like bodyslam, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline, closeline and a closeline. Wow, that's really something. I wonder how long it took him to plan out jis matches?



14) Bad News Brown: Before Rodney Mack, there was Tazz, and before Tazz there was Bad News Brown. The original thug from the streets. Did Bad News get announced as hailing from the sewers of New York City once? If so, then that's some crazy shit he had to deal with. Bad News brought the Ghetto to the ring and took care of his opponents like there was no tommorrow. He used the infamous Ghetto Blaster as his Finisher which was a cool way of saying "Dropkick to the back of the head." But what made Bad News most famous was that he could never be trusted. He walked out on his teams twice in Survivor Series and double-crossed BretT Heart at WM 4. You have to admire the guys ability to have no friends during his time in the WWF. Hey, it got him a huge trophy at WM 4.


13) Ahmed Johnson: This guy had World Title written all over him and I never understood why he never got the title. He had some excellent mic skills as he had the ability to say words that weren't even part of the English language and force people and his oponents to accept them as if they were. I wish I had that kind of power. He was really strong in the ring as well and never really botched moves more then four times a match. Ahmed had a heated battle with The Nation back in his WWF days and he even joined them breifly later on. Shocking Huh.


12) Mable: This guy was a King for god sakes. Mabel started off in a tag team known as Men on a Mission. What was there Mission you ask? Well that's simple: To go out and put on ***** star matches for the fans each and every night. Well who ever said missions were never suppossed to fail? But yeah, Mabel broke away from that team and became a King where his career started to skyrocket. Mabel was a pleasure to watch in the ring and reminded me of a young Lou Thez. Whenever he needed to hit a big move, he did and he did this night in and night out. He also never seemed to get tired and had some classic 5 minute Iron Man Matches on some weekly tapings.


11) Ludvig Borga. The Badass MoFO from Finland. Borga hated the U.S. because there was a lot of pollution in it. That's a pretty dam good reason to hate a country if you ask me. Borga complained each week about the filth in this country and said he would make some changes. Well he sure did. He kiled Marty Jannetty a match at Summerslam and later ended Tataka's undefeated streak. Now that's really something to add to your resume. Borga used to Toture Rack as his finisher and you could tell he was pissed off at something by the way he applied the thing. Sadly, Borga hurt in ankle before he could get the World Title and never returned to the WWF again.


10) Mongo McMichael: I know I said Paul Roma was the greatest Horsemen ever, but I forgot about this guy. I don't know, it's kind of a toss of beteween the two. Mongo was an ex NFL player turned announcer turned wrestler. In the ring he was something else. He had some great football tackle moves and always knew what he was doing in the ring. McMichael must of studied thousands of wrestling tapes before he stepped foot into the sqaured circle. You could just tell.


9) Zodiac: Dungeon of Doom Alert. Zodiac was one of the better workers of the Dungeon of Doom and that's saying a lot. Zodiac was all about the Ying and the Yang. He came down the ring pysching out his opponents by procaliming YES NO YES NO YES NO. That was a great strategy as he really caught his opponents off guard with these chants.


8) Papa Shango: You didn't think I'd leave the vodoo master out did you? the chracter of Papa Shango was WAY WAY beyond its time. Shango was an evil vodoo shaman who put spells on his opponents. He once made the Ultimate Warrior throwup by placing a spell on one of his wristbands. Now if that's not taking things into your own hands, then I don't know what is. Shango had a cool entrance too as it was very dark and scary and very smokey I might add. Shango reminded me of that character in the Video Game, Banjo Kazooie." You know that skeleton guy.


7) Kurrgan: Yet another big man who could move around with the best of them. Kurrgan had a pretty interesting career in the WWF. He went from being a kickass monster in the Truth Comission into a hippieass pansy in The Oddities. Well, people just need to change there lifestyle sometines.

6) Meat: Yeah, I loved the name too. Meat was the project or the slave or whatever of Pretty Mean Sisters. PMS. lol get it? Anyway, Meat did as PMS asked him to do and always seemed to succeed. But the problem was that PMS never really seemed to care about Meat. He was just a piece of meat to them. OH lol, get it? The guy gave he blood, sweat, and tears for PMS and the poor guy was just treated like dirt. I think he finally snapped one night and got rid of PMS for good.


5) Brakus: Brakus is coming.....Brakus is coming.....Brakus is coming.....I don't think Brakus ever came did he?


4) Shockmaster: Shockmaster had something special inside of him that few wrestlers ever achieve in there lifetimes. This guy had the ability of never ever ****ing anything up whether it be moves, promos, or even grand entrances. Shockmaster should of been given the nickname of Mr. Perfect, but that was already taken by some other guy who was never as big as THE SHOCK. Shockmaster was from another planet I think and wore a big helmet which made him look badass. Nobody should of ever messed with the Shockmaster because he was basically unbeatable and even went on to be undefeated during his days of wrestling.


3) Kevin Sullivan: Okay, look up the word "Leader" in the dictinary and I'm sure Kevin's picture in right next to the word somewhere. Sullivan's leadership skills would of won him some great awards in some countries, but I guess America overlooked him. Kevin led such great forces as "The Army of Darkness," "The Varsity Club," and the infamous, "Dungeon of Doom" towards nothing short of greatness. Sullivan always played the part of an evil leader to perfection. I think he really was the DEVIL. That's pretty scary is you ask me. In the ring, Kevin's tecnical wrestling skills made up for his troll-like size. Kevin used various chops and rakes to the back in his quality matches. I think he actually made his opponents better after the match. I know for a fact that Arn Anderson learned a ton of wrestling techniques from Sullivan. To bad he never won the WCW Title.

2) The Yeti: WOW WOW WOW WOW. It breaks my heart when people don't seem to realize how special the Yeti was. He was a once in a lifetime wrestler folks. Why some of you won't accept this is beyond my knowlege. The Yeti appeared at Hallowween Havoc 95 attacking Hulk Hogan. His attack you ask? Well it was a double bearhug which was aided by the Giant. The Yeti preformed this move with grace and you could just see the stunned faces of the audience as they knew they were watching something they would never see again. If you pause your Halloween Havoc tape you can see the expression on Section A's faces which looks as though they were witnessing Jesus perform one of his miracles. That's the expression people usually had when witnessing The Yeti in action.

1) Virgil: Yes the man known as Virgil. This guy has been a cult favorite for so many WWF fans throughout the years. One superfan of Virgil in particular posts on this message board. His name is Rob Harvey of course. Rob PM's me all the time discussing Virgil's career in the WWF/WCW and he also PM's me behind the scenes stories of the guy as well.. I like to read these things but over 1000 PM's about Virgil is getting a little out of hand. So please keep the PM's about Virgil down to at least 4 times a month okay buddy. Anyway, Virgil is truely an inspiration to underdogs all around the world. He came in as Million Dollar Man's servant and then realized he couldn't live his life that way and stood up against his oppressor. Virgil will always be remembered as a Million Dollar Champion to most fans, but to his Cult of true loyal fans, like Rob, he will be remembered as a guy who kept on going even when the journey was considered impossible.


Well thank you for reading my list of the 50 Greatest Wrestlers of all-time. I hope you will respect these fine wrestlers after reading my list and maybe I have changed some of your opinions about these guys.
