Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 2 2007-10-20 06:18:00 After naming Chris Benoit on day 1 I felt for day 2 I would choose someone who no one could even argue isn't worthy as a contender to be named Wrestlings Greatest
... "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.The 16 time world champion has certainly left a legacy on professional wrestling that may never be matched again. Ric Flairs career has been one long highlight reel.From his first world title win in 1981 all the way through to his "I Quit" bout in 2006 with Mick Foley, Ric Flair has given his all to entertain. Whether it be the original Four Horsemen's run in the NWA in 1985, the legendary feud with Rick Steamboat (which included what many today still claim to be the greatest match in wrestling history) , his amazing Royal Rumble victory in 1992, his feud with Savage, Flair's against odds title win from Vader, or his last man standing bout with Triple H every single wrestling fan has there favorite Ric Flair moment.Ric Flair is one of very few men to have the complete package, great ring skill
Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 1 2007-10-19 10:01:00 Chris Benoit.Depending on where you stand you will either feel Chris Benoit rightfully deserves to be included in any list of wrestlings greatest or should be forgotten about entirely because of his final actions.The fact is I thought I was one of the latter but no matter how many times I wrote my list down it just didn't seem right without Chris Benoit's name on it.Despite where you stand on the position of Benoit's legacy very few will actually deny the high quality of his matches would have made him a guaranteed legend if not for the tragedy he was responsible for.Where ever Benoit's career took him a quick shift through his catalogue of matches within that promotion will no doubt reveal an avalanche of classics. Whether it be Japan, WCW, ECW, or WWE Benoit was more often than any other performer in one of the best bouts of the night.The one thing that maybe prevented Chris Benoit from even further greatness and certainly more success in terms of title reigns was his poor abilit Read more:Greatest

.Right I'm off to finish selecting my names but be sure to check in tomorrow for the first superstar to be considered the greatest wrestler of all time.
Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 5 2007-10-23 03:43:00 Day 5 sees the addition of the man who claims to be "the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be..." yes it's Bret "The Hitman" Hart.The Hitman is the first wrestler on this list to have had to work his way up through the ranks of WWE. Bret Hart of course first came to the notice of WWE fans as a member of the Hart Foundation. It was there that Bret Harts in ring ability was first recognized as teamed with a less mobile and athletic partner in Jim Neidhart it was Bret that was often left to carry there matches.Despite being virtually a one man team The Hart Foundation still contested several classic tag bouts with the likes of The Demolition and The British Bulldogs but it was seen as just reward by many when "The Hitman" was pushed into singles action. In one of Bret Hart's first bouts as a full time singles wrestler "The Hitman" had a classic.He faced Mr. Perfect for the IC title and at the end of the classic encounter Bret Hart walked away with the gold, Read more:Greatest
Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 4 2007-10-22 02:25:00 Day 4 of our quest to find wrestlings greatest sees the first inclusion of a superstar that is still active today ( before you start yes I know Ric Flair may yet return to action ) that man is ....The Undertaker.The most successful wrestling character ever created who thought that when we first saw The Undertaker in the WWE he would still be around some 17 years later. The fact that The Undertaker has succeeded for so long shows that unlike most characters there was actually some talent behind the guise of The Undertaker.The Undertaker has set a landmark that will most likely never be equaled with his unbeaten streak at WWE's yearly showcase that is Wrestlemania. Over the years he's beaten the likes of Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Randy Orton, Batista, Triple H and of course his storyline brother Kane on the biggest stage of all.A great character, longevity and good microphone work have helped the Undertaker book a place amongst the elite but one thing the Undertaker doesn't get the credi Read more:Greatest
Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 3 2007-10-21 03:12:00 Today sees the inclusion of the biggest star of them all.. Hulk Hogan.As an in ring performer there is little doubt that the 12 time world heavyweight champion would not have been included. Although capable of decent performances, as shown in classic bouts with The Ultimate Warrior and The Rock, the fact is that the majority of Hulk Hogans matches where dull and followed the same predictable formula night after night. Hogan, because of his star power, would often fail to perform to a high standard without recriminations from his bosses.However there is no question that, along with Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan changed wrestling forever. Hogan and the right look and amazing charisma and without him wrestling may never have come as far as it has and we may never have seen charismatic wrestlers such as The Rock if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan.Although as I stated Hulk Hogan wasn't the greatest in ring performer everyone still seems to have a favorite Hulkster moment, from his slamming of Andre Read more:Greatest
Wrestlings Greatest Of All Time Day 6 2007-10-25 04:08:00 Day 6 sees the inclusion of a superstar who has seen no shortage of controversy but is regarded by many as the best in ring performer to have ever graced professional wrestling... "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.From his days in the Rockers to the current day Shawn Michaels has always given his all to put on the best match possible and more often than not he has achieved this."The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels has had many classic battles over the years and has also shown his attitude to give anything a try as he participated in the first televised ladder match, the first hell in a cell and the first elimination chamber, and in each one put in a fantastic performance.Any wrestling fan certainly has a lot to choose from when it comes to picking there favorite Shawn Michaels moment. From his feud with Razor Ramon, which of course included the infamous ladder matches, to his underrated feud with former partner Marty Jannetty or his war with the Hart Family to his match carrying perfo Read more:Greatest
