When was their prime?

Jerry, could you elaborate on why you picked those wrestlers? I'm not sure every wrestler even has a prime. Someone like Booker T who has been good at times on and off, but who no one really considers one of the greats, is hard to pin down because he doesn't even really have a peak.

Loss - I picked them because it's not entirely clear when their prime is. Or at any rate, there are possible debates for each one.

 

Booker T I picked for exactly that reason, when is his prime?

 

Hogan I think therere's a real debate between his AWA run and 84-6 WWF.

 

Similar situations for the others.

Surely the debate will be reserved for Bart Gunn.

Alex Porteau peaked as a heel in Global. J.T. Smith peaked in 95/96 as transition from "you fucked up" collector of concussions to black guy who thinks he is Italian has strong internal consistency. Hack Myers prime was the squash match where he killed Donn E. Allen (his entire career should be assessed on this, which puts him in the argument for GOAT).

 

Not sure about Bart Gunn though.
