I want to do a "best puncher" poll (or maybe a tourney)
Perhaps we could decide on the top 12 punchers of all time and do a tournament or just a poll. I feel like TPWW has a crew of guys who respect the "small things" wrestlers do. And a punch is about one of the most simple, most crucial parts of a move-set that's often overlooked.
Also, feel free to describe what makes a great puncher. Some names I'll throw out to get the ball rolling: Terry Funk Randy Savage Jerry Lawler Make some suggestions, let's try to come to a consensus on who's in the discussion, and we'll decide whether it's a tourney or a once-off poll.

Possibly since Eaton was pretty perfect at everything he did but I don’t remember his punches particularly standing out.

I wanted to say Bret but I love him so much and wasn't sure if I was being biased.
They called his punches the rubber mallets. |

Hmm I know people like Bossman's punches but they could also miss by a mile.

I remember liking Piper's punches. But not sure they're good enough to be in the discussion.
Dustin Rhodes maybe deserves an honourable mention, especially in recent years. |

a lot of the ones id put over have already been mentioned (and several awful punchers thrown in for good measure i suppose [and ill save my thoughts on said punches for the tourney for dramtic effect.]) real talk roman reigns super man punch is incredibly technical and not at all easy to do so well.
bill dundee had a fine punch. very underrated |

On another note--if we want to talk overrated punchers, Undertaker has to be on the list.

I think we can assume that Mae Young and Mark Henrys child has a pretty mean punch even if we've never seen it.

Love Bret--he's my number-1 all time--but may have to disqualify him due to this post referencing kicks and European Uppercuts and damaging the integrity of this prestigious competition.
