What Locker Room had the Most Guys

[Phil Schneider]

I was talking to Childs about this before the Drive By-Truckers show last night. What locker room one what date has the most people on your list. 1997 WCW, 1989 Crockett, 2003 ROH? ect.

[GOTNW]

Probably something like 1987 New Japan. All the UWF guys plus Hashimoto, Choshu. Fujinami, Hase, Koshinaka, Kensuke Sasaki.........Vader as well actually.

[Jingus]

Mid-to-late-90s WCW probably wins just for the sheer number of wrestlers that appeared on their shows at some point or another. They had most of the old WWF and NWA stars from the 80s who were still around, most of the superstars of the WWF Attitude period before/after their primes, plus whomever they signed away from ECW that month, especially plus tons of luchadores and New Japan guys.

 

I mean, seriously, here's a short list: Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Jushin Liger, Rey Mysterio Jr, AJ Styles, Akira Hokuto, Mick Foley, Randy Savage, Eddie Guerrero, Vader, Bret Hart, La Parka, Terry Funk, Ricky Morton, Bobby Eaton, Sabu, Steven Regal, Dusty Rhodes, Great Muta, Chris Benoit, Arn Anderson, Shinjiro Otani, Barry Windham, La Parka, Hulk Hogan... it truly was a Who's Who of talent, all sandwiched together in less than a decade.

[WingedEagle]

A random late 80s date for New Japan sounds right. If we're being loose with defining the NWA, that's also a strong contender in the 85-86 period as you could use some non-GAAP accounting to rope in Crockett, Midsouth and perhaps other. Heh, even All Japan if you want to get tricky right?

Lots of those guys weren't around together though, Aj Styles was never in the locker room with Mick Foley. I am thinking one day, one look in, who would have the most (It still might be late 90s WCW though)

[Jingus]

For one day, in one building, would co-promotional shows count? The "Bridge of Dream" Tokyo Dome show from 1995 comes to mind, when all the Japanese feds put on one match apiece in the world's most overstuffed supershow. The big Wrestling Summit show from 1990 with Hogan/Hansen would be another one, plus pick-your-favorite WCW/NJPW crossover.

[Johnny Sorrow]

More importantly, how was the Drive By Truckers show?

[Phil Schneider]

Awesome

[Childs]

More importantly, how was the Drive By Truckers show?

Solid, tonight was even better.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Cool, those guys fucking tear it up.

[Scarlet-Left]

WCW - 1989, if I had to guess. My list is a little strange, though, being made up of eighties WCW/JCP guys and 90s WWF guys and padded out with modern Joshi and the odd TNA guy.

[JerryvonKramer]

I'm thinking maybe the locker room of Royal Rumble 1991.

 

Or maybe that three-ring world war 3 thing from 1995, the one headlined by Giant and Yetay. Just through sheer numbers it'll be something like that.

[Outsider]

I was thinking'89 wwf because Harley Barry Tully Arn Randy Hogan Bulldogs I think Garvin Valentine Brett Owen Shawn ;but I guess WCW'97 was pretty good.

I'M on a cell sorry bout the sloppiness.

I can narrow it down for u. I know it wasn't GWF'91

[joeg]

I would probably go with 1990 AJPW

 

Hansen, Kobashi, Kawada, Misawa, Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr., Tenryu, Jumbo, Baba, Destroyer, Taue, Fuchi, Kikuchi, Terry Gordy, Steve Williams, Kroffat, and Dynamite. Plus Andre, Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes for a couple of tours. Thats 20. I doubt they were ever all on the same tour at the same time, but I'd bet at least 15 or so were on the same tour.

[NotJayTabb]

I've got 21 guys on my list who were in WCW at some point in 1992. There are 6 in my top 20 alone, and that's not including Flair who only just missed the year.
