The fact that WCCW and NWA are not included in the poll is a damn travesty.

Portland Wrestling was the best! Where do you think the WWF got all of their big time talent. Just about every big name wrestler in the 80's wrestled for Portland Wrestling at one time or another.

agreed.

I remember the come-back of the Ultimate Warrior on pay per view back in the early 90s. I about cried when they started playing his music.

For anyone who cares: The Official Site of the Ultimate Warrior

Wow. Just... wow...

In the Q&A session after I gave my speech, I was asked by a young, black lady, ?You talked about the philosophy of America, but just what is the philosophy of America, you didn?t seem to say?? I must tell you that even though she would not say as much, I believe she was trying to imply that slavery was somehow synonymous with the essence of the philosophy of America, and if it was why would we want to teach, or esteem, the American philosophy of life. Which is a bag of crap and must be left to discuss another day.
Uhh, last I checked, you didn't explain the philosophy of America and the concept required a followup explanation? :confused:

P.S. The rest of his site is mighty bootleg too

Ultimate Warrior, The Giant, Rick Flair, Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Kane, Hogan (of course), Randy Savage all stir up deep emotions inside of me.

Also, who can forget Booker T and his partner, I forgot his name but it was from the old days. Sting and the whole NWO thing, then the wolfpack.

Remember Diesel and his partner? I forgot his name but he had a bang hanging down his forehead.

I grew up watching these people.

Stevie Ray was Booker T's partner. Harlem Heat, they were called.

And Kevin Nash/Diesel's partner was Scott Hall. He liked to drink ALOT and was usually drunk on camera. I remember one episode of Nitro where Hall was so completely beligerent that Bischoff had to help him with walking. Hall ended up puking on Bischoff right on camera. That was great.

i felt the same way about cena, until i heard him freestyle on the radio station here, he was battlin some other cats at the local hiphop station and he was pretty damn good. i don't like his character too much though, and wish batista and benoit hadn't been traded to smackdown :(

WWF went through this era not long after Hogan/Nash/Hall left to invade WCW, where they brought up stars like HBK, Stone Cold, and Degeneration X, who were all awesome characters and had really good storylines, and fairly good wrestling. But they were still overshadowed by WCW/NWO who won the ratings week after week. But WCW couldn't sustain it. The booking by Bischoff was god-awful. Main events on WCW inevitably ended with a NWO run-in, week after week. The world's worst wrestler, Bill Goldberg, was pushed to the moon by beating jobber after jobber (there were rumors that he was actually defeated at a house show before WCW decided to push him, but i can't find the details) Meanwhile you had awesome cage matches with Mankind and UT, a longtime fued between Austin and Vince McMahon, and the development of the Rock, and people actually thought I was crazy for preferring WWF over WCW in those days. WWF from about 98 to 2002 had by far the best group of consistently good story lines in wrestling history.

I would have to agree, WWF in the late 90's to 2002 was untouchable. It's hard to argue when even the big sports/marketing/entertainment juggernaut known as the NFL is afraid of you and is offering hundreds of millions to get you to move to another time.
