You know you want to participate. NO HONORABLE MENTIONS (which includes "just missed the list). That's cheating! PUT THEM IN ORDER, damnit! "I can't put them in order" is a fucking cop-out, man.
1. Vader
Vader is the best big man to ever wrestle in my eyes. Seeing as how I'm a big guy myself, and pretty much always have been, I looked at Vader as sort of a role model. He was the reason that I started watching WCW over WWF. He was also a big reason why I started looking for japanese matches.
2. Michael "P.S." Hayes
The Fabulous Freebirds are my favorite tag team of all-time. That alone is enough to include Hayes. Still, his character, love him or hate him, made you want to tune in. He just screamed charisma to me. He was a playboy but he backed up his mouth in the ring. Or at least cheated to win.
3. Nikita Koloff
He was fucking crazy. I believed it when he snapped on people. He wasn't the greatest wrestler but I marked hard for his promos. I'll never forget when he snapped on Lex Luger and told him that it was HIS US title. He had "the look."
4. "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka
I don't like him for the same reasons that Foley did. Although I thought that cage match leap was cool, by the time I'd seen it, I'd already watched TLC matches and shit. So it wasn't that big of a deal to me. When you look at it's time frame it was. I liked Snuka because I thought he was a great flyer. I liked him because he was different. Hell, he never even really talked. He just seemed like a crazy, cracked out flying samoan.
5. The Great Muta
The Muta in WCW was fabulous. Next to Jushin Liger, I think Muta was the first japanese wrestler that I ever saw. He was a great wrestler with a larger than life entrance. He was wrestling ahead of his time. He was just so fresh. He didn't need to talk. The language barrier didn't matter because his ring work was so great.
