When making my list I factored how I felt about wrestlers at different points of my life. 12 year old Andrew's favourite wrestler was Rick Rude. I had to acknowledge that. Plus I find myself always gravitating to 92 WCW. When I wanna throw on something to watch, that's near the top of the list. Sure there is lots of other stuff out there, but the aesthetics of that era is my favourite.
During my favourite time Rude was the best. I believe not all years are created equal. It means more to me to be the best wrestler in a year like 92, 94, 89 or 97 than it would in 09, 12, or 99.
