But there are loads of good workers on that list, but form 95-ish too 97 HBM is eaily top 50 in the world. The only people who say otherwise are people who hate the mainstream style and/or anti-kliq marks. Which if that's your perogative, whatever. It's all about personal prefference. Not really any way someone can be right here.

You're going to be hard pressed to find someone who is going to argue about shoot style wrestling, as A, most people haven't seen it, or B, they don't like it. I'm not a HUGE fan of it. I can watch it, but in small doses. Ultimately, yes, it's wrestling, but it's not wrestling that casual wrestling fans, or even wrestling lovers, are definitely going to like.

Once again though, it comes back to what we're comparing. Comparing Kakihara or Sakuraba to Shawn Micheals is a bit off to say the least, since not only do they wrestle different styles, but the companies they wrestle for are totally different. One is try to be "realistic" while the other is blatantly trying to do entertainment. HBK doesn't need to worry about wrestling as in depth as some of the shooters, but likewise, the shooters don't have as many concerns about working a mic, playing up the crowd as much, etc.

And like I said before, it all comes down to preference anyway. You're going to be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like the shoot style to say that any of them are better than HBK, because they will,. probably by default, prefer HBK's style. The opposite is also true.

On a side note, Kakihara has the greatest STO ever.

don't have a problem with mainstream wrestling and think the kliq's hilarious. you could say the only people who say otherwise (irrationally) love the guy and/or haven't seen much non-mainstream wrestling. imo
Really don't agree with that sentance, there are a lot of ways to perform that aren't pro-wrestling. If two MMA fighters went out and worked a fight it wouldn't suddenly be wrestling, it would be something entirley different and entirerly new. Which on the same token this shoot style is.

By that logic a rigged boxing match is pro-wrestling.

Seriously though, I dissagree. Being rigged doesn't make something pro-wrestling, that makes it a work. My two cents.

Based on the logic of the Sandman being good in the Raven/Dreamer feud in 1996, I am nominated Kamala for being better than HBK in 1996 because of how he never broke kayfabe. Plus he has bodyslammed Andre the Giant which is something I am willing to bet none of the fifty guys on your list has done.

As a what? In fact, he's vastly underrated, and always has been. Christ, if guys like Benoit could hold a world title, Owen should have held it 5 times over that.

Owen was just as agile and high flying based as HBK, except he had a little more skill on his feet as well.

imo, Owen took the best of his brother and the best of HBK and meshed them together.

Pillman was much like Owen, except Pillman on the mic schools everyone else, charisma wise and ability wise.

Pillman is up there in that elite class of stick work.

I'm not discounting HBK by saying these two easily compete with him.

But I am saying Owen and Pillman in 96 most definitely belonged on just such a list, especially if you're going to include a bunch of shit on that list, whose names I dont even have to mention, they are so silly.

And I'm kind of right in the middle on the Owen discussion.

I DO think people overrate the man simply because he died in his prime.

I'm not gonna bash him though by completely discounting everyone's high ranking of him because he was VERY good IMO. I just don't find him to have ever been better than HBK.

I dont even know alot of about wrestling, but i know enough to comfortably call you a fucking retard for making that post.

I'm talking about his skill alone. It's easily applicable. Besides that, Bret took most of 96 off as well.

Shit Davey Boy isnt even on the list, meanwhile the fucking sandman made it.

And RP, that right there proves that you really dont watch much wrestling so arguing with you over something you are quite literally ignorant about would be futile.

Skill alone doesn't count. Pillman wasn't the same after his injuries. You might as well say Bret Hart is the best in the world in 2008 when he hasn't had a match because he was awesome 8 years ago.

And Bret worked 5 months in the WWF on TV and then every foreign tour too. And his matches with Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin alone were enough to put him on the list even if he only had 2 matches that year.

LOL you sound a little hurt, maybe because no-one wants to post on your shitty site?

I glanced at your little board and noticed it's the same group of disgruntled posters that DVDVR doesn't even like.

Yeah... that's it. People just say Shawn was easily one of the 50 best wrestlers of '96 because they didn't watch enough non-wwe.

Maybe if I start making ridiculous claims like that, people will think I'm a genius who just happens to know more than them! Let me give it a shot...

Let's all start a list of 50 guys who were bigger draws than The Rock. GO!

1) Andy Kaufman

How about we make a list of dumb Mexican wrestlers whose lack of judgment caused them to allow themselves to be de-masked, ostracizing themselves from Mexican wrestling, leading to a handful of angry smarks being bitter at Kevin Nash and the Clique, over a decade after the fact?

1) Rey Mysterio Junior

Like, see, if I was talking about Ian Rotten, I would say "dumb American wrestler".

Ultimo Tiger, you're one hell of a character. Don't stop.

What a load of bullshit. You know a wrestler is a draw when people buy tickets and PPV's to watch him. A very minor amount of people buy shows for undercards. You ask anyone who watched WWF/E in the last ten years if they paid to watch Steve Austin or The Rock and it's a guaranteed answer in the positive.

Next.

I almost forgot about Austin. One COULD make the argument that he is one of the 50 biggest draws of all time too. But I'm only judging that based on watching him and how popular he was and the merchandise he sold and the ratings when he was on top and PPV buy rates and such during the era in which he was on top. Tough to really judge if he was a draw or not from that.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt I GUESS.

so 7) Austin

8) VINCE MCMAHON
9) Jim Ross
10) RoboCop (Take some time away from watching nothing but WWE and look it up people. Definitely drew more than Rock if you look at the big picture.)

Was Steve Austin the guy who invented that "Austin 3:16" clothing line? I remember seeing like 10 million of those shirts.

Actually WWE only sold like 15 of those shirts. The millions you saw were just the same 15 shirts that were passed around via yard sales, e-bay, and disgruntled fans who were sick of waiting for the whole "Austin" craze to take off and just gave them away. Whenever someone was seen with one of the shirts on, WWE would show them on TV, making it seem like more existed. If you ever saw any in person, it was just right place right time.

In fact, considering how many were produced and never sold, WWE probably lost millions because of Austin. He's off the list. He may actually be the worst draw in wrestling history...
