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. ![]() |

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. |

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

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

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.

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. |
