This is not my top 5. I can’t limit it to a TOP 5 just the first 5 I thought of.
I was Superfly Jimmy Snuka for Halloween last year.
Seriously.
That is a tough top 5 list man… Though I do appreciate the time that a top 5 list saves as opposed to a top 10…
Rowdy Roddy Piper is tha man.
I am sure this list could easily, easily reach 25 or more so I commend you to limiting it to 5. I will probably post about 10 times with 10 different lists.
Ultimate Warrior
“Ravishing” Rick Rude
Dino Bravo
Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart
Tito Santana
How about Old School Tag Teams?
The Hart Foundation (The Excellence of Execution Brett “The Hitman” Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart)
Demolition (Ax and Smash)
The Bushwhackers (Luke and Butch)
The Powers of Pain w/ Mr. Fuji (The Warlord and Barbarian)
The Brain Busters w/ Bobby “The Brain” Heenan (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard)
You are forgetting:

also – we could do a managers top 5. i liked mr. fuji – i don’t even know why.
I just need to know why the Junk Yard Dog didn’t make it into this list?
How about these fine grapplers?

Marty Jannetty-Always felt sorry for him after Shawn Michaels threw him through the plateglass on Brutus the Barber’s show
Abdullah The Butcher. How ’bout that.
I love Ricky Steamboat. However, can I point out that the one thing that made him so great was his constant fued and high flying matches with Randy Savage. Some of the greatest matches to watch of all time. It was before high flying was the cool thing to do.

My age will show again with this one….the first match I saw in person was Johnny Valentine vs Ken Patera…I was a wee lad at the time and a neighbor took me and his grandson…I’ve been hooked ever since. But I admit it less to my 12 year old.
