thebrainfollower Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Don't know if this is a fun idea or a dumb one. But let's say this poll wasn't us, it was a poll of those in wrestling (dead, alive, owners, wrestlers WHOEVER you want it to be). What do you think various people's top 10 would look like? I'll start out with one I actually have no idea. Vince Russo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Funny enough, I have thinking while Bix was interviewing Cornette that he's one person I'd love to hear contribute opinions on the GWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Wrestlers know their universe and don't seem to follow much outside of it. I think most guys would for the most part just rank their own opponents. They tend to have a very narrow view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadMick Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Wrestlers know their universe and don't seem to follow much outside of it. I think most guys would for the most part just rank their own opponents. They tend to have a very narrow view. Would it be fair to say that wrestlers breaking in from 2000 onwards or so (those that were fans from a young age, anyway) would have a stronger understanding and broader range of interests worldwide than their predecessors? Perhaps this range would narrow as they go on, but it would be there in the early years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingus Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Would it be fair to say that wrestlers breaking in from 2000 onwards or so (those that were fans from a young age, anyway) would have a stronger understanding and broader range of interests worldwide than their predecessors?Depends. Considering the wide range of places wrestlers used to routinely travel, they saw a lot more of the world than the average person, or even probably the average model wrestler. There's nothing to get you to understand the plight of third-world citizens than seeing them in person (probably while having Power Uti clumsily thump you over the head). But the older wrestlers tended to be meathead jocks who coincidentally fell into a secondary profession, while today's wrestlers are more likely to be internet nerds who are relatively well-read; so, it's a push.

BigBadMick Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for that Jingus, but I meant broader interests and understanding purely in the wrestling sense. Interesting to hear a broader interpretation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrainfollower Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Based on the one shoot interview Russo's favorites were Bret Hart Steve Austin The Rock The Undertaker Jeff Jarrett so pretty much yeah the guys he worked with. I would say Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels would actually pick each other from what I've heard. Am guessing the entire Kliq would pick Shawn except Waltman who would pick Hall. Would Bret Hart pick himself? Cornette I assume would pick Flair and Lawler, but based on that podcast, clearly is not an ignoramus when it comes to Japanese wrestling. Wonder what, if anything he knows of lucha. The guys who interest me are PURE speculation. Love to hear what Vince Sr. and Vince Jr's lists would look like. Or Paul Boesch. Or Mushnick who saw em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
