Who was better?
>>
>>15856617
cena, brock, batista, angle, orton
>>
>>15856617
Flair
the japanese guy
hart
rock
>>
>>15856617
At what?
>>
>>15856617
Flair was the original Omega/Ospreay tier Meltzerbab
Misawa is a Meltzerbab too but he never understood what made King's Road good
Rock is supremely underrated
Bret is the best here
>>
>>15856617
Rock > Bret > Flair > Misawa
>>
>>15856617
Why do you always add a random china guy to these threads?
>>
>>15856617
by drawing power:
flair = rock > misawa > bret
>>
>>15856617
Not really a huge Bret fan but for me it was Bret; he just had a moveset he had perfected and it worked. Who else did a Russian leg sweep as good as he did? Elbow drops? Worked punches? Japs never drew dimes btw, not sure why you posted that mongoloid next to Bret.
>>
>>15856702
Zesty choice.
>>
>>15856617
Shawn is better than Shitman
Muta is better than Whosawa
Hogan is better than Flairetty
Austin is better than Dwayne
>>
>>15856617
not the shitter who literally died in the ring because he never learned how to work
>>
>>15856771
Muta had an argument for being better than Misawa until his knees exploded. But he was something special in the early days.

Ironically his own moves killed him. Not just the velocity of his moonsault but also that springing flip he did every time he entered the ring.
>>
>>15856617
Austin, Rock, Hogan.
now get those dimeless shitters out of my face.

Rock drew the most money, he is the only correct answer.

I know that's what I'm thinking about when I'm trying to find a good TV show to watch
>how rich are the actors?
You're a weirdo who can't come to terms with being a wrestling fan
>>
>>15857018
Sorry I'm not taking your thread super serious on a dead message board.
>>
Why do people rate Misawa? Cause he KWABBED himself?
>>
>>15857064
Because we're wrestling fans and he was really good at wrestling. Also he was the long running babyface ace of a company that had a really long hot streak with him at the top.
>>
>>15857064
No one does, it's just one guy samefagging.
>>
>>15856617
Combine all 4 and you almost get 1 Terry Funk.
>>
>>15857123
I rate all of these guys highly but it's true, Funk is my GOAT
>>
>>15856617
Rock>Flair>Bret (although he is def the best in ring worker)>Misawa
>>
>>15856617
Rock
Bret
Flair
Misawa

In that order
>>
>>15856617
They all worked together except Rock and Misawa.

Most of the 90s Nooj outdrew American shows. They only caught up in the late 90s
>>

this is the only correct opinion

God, wrestling was the fucking best

Misawa is so out of place here it's hilarious. If it's someone as big as Bret, Flair and Rock then it should be Inoki or Mutoh.
>>
>>15856617
All 4 guys have particular strengths but measuring who was best from head to toe as a total package it’s Rock. Like if you tried to tally up an “overall rating” of these 4 I can’t pick the other 3 over him. I don’t have to think twice about it either.
>>
>>15857445
It burns me up that Mutoh as Great Muta never got at least one world title run in WCW when he was extremely right for it at one point. I feel like that’s one notch in his legacy’s belt I wish they’d given him. Great Muta was fantastic before his body started to break down on him.
>>
>>15857484
>Great Muta was fantastic before his body started to break down on him.
Sadly that was pretty early on in his career. He had like 7 good years before his knees started exploding.
>>
>>15857149
For once, I really wish I had the webm saved of Pete Dunne in wargames.
>>
>>15856617
Cost has drawn more dimes than all 4 of them combined

what a fucking tragic spot

Lmao even worse than Shane

I have no idea who the Jap is but Rock>Bret>Flair sounds right
>>
>>15857489
Reminds me of a random fucking Nitro clip I caught out nowhere. It was when Rey Mysterio was in the Filthy Animals, and they were making references on-air to him having shitty knees back then in '99. I wonder what Muta's career could've been if he was younger and his knees held together long enough for modern procedures and stem cells.
>>
>>15857149
>>15857496
You can just tell that modern wrestlers have never been in real fights in their lives.

Sure, Lawler and Funk are hamming it up, they're exaggerating but just look at how Terry Funk holds his hands. He keeps his left up, he tries to measure his shots and move more like a boxer. It makes so much more sense than whatever the fuck is going on in that NXT one.
>>
>>15857510
A lot of it also falls on the Undisputed Manlets who are supposed to be feeding for Dunne. Some of them are bailing before they've made it even look like there's any contact.
>>
>>15857530
Yeah literally every single person in that webm is to blame
>>
>>15857445
Mutoh ranks himself below Misawa.
>>
Brett for the passion for the business
The Rock for being incredibly over the top charismatic. Like never seen before levels
>>
>>15857587
Not that anon but many GOATs do that, Muto isn't the first one. Burt Reynolds ranked himself below Robert Redford, but everyone knows Reynolds is the face of the 70s. Diogo Jota ranked himself below Bruno Fernandes, but his resume is better. Hidetaka Miyazaki ranked himself below Fumito Ueda, but Miyazaki's games are 100x more popular and sold more despite being inspired by Ueda's games. Eminem ranks himself below every hip hop artist the twitter fags put below him despite being the most influential one. Shaquille O'Neal ranks himself bellow David Robinson, but everyone knows Shaq was an absolute monster. That just how it goes with them.
>>
>>15857489
knee-explosion muto is still fun for a good chunk of the 2000s, it's when you get to like 2012 where shit gets sad
>>
>>15857748
Yeah, never said he wasn't still great without his knees. He pivoted and adapted to his injuries better than almost anyone in history. I think only Terry Funk adapted to his changing body better over the years than Mutoh did.

Well Kobashi did a pretty good job too, I guess, considering most of Kobashi's prime was with Mutoh knees
>>
>>15857445
Bret is as overrated as Misawa. It should be
>Hogan
>Inoki
>Flair
>Rock
>>
>>15857784
Nah if you make it about drawing and nothing else then Flair has no reason to be there either and you've just got an entirely different kind of list
>>
>>15857784
This isn't a GOAT list or top draws. I don't think, at least. If it were then it'd be
>Hogan
>Rikidozan
>El Santo
>Inoki
Last one could be different, but Rock nor Flair aren't there either.
>>
>>15856617
Who is chinky chang wang?

I can’t recall any.

Rock drew more money than the rest combined

Bret is one of the most boring wrestlers ever. I have never seen a match of his where he wasn't carried by superior, more charismatic wrestlers like Owen, Shawn, Mr Perfect which i liked when he wasnt in the ring with them
>>
>>15856771
Maybe Austin but you are wrong about the rest
>>
>>15856617

i'm assuming this refers to in-ring exclusively.

Unironically this
>>
>>15858929
I feel like depending on which half of the Attitude Era you’re talking about Rock and Austin are pretty interchangeable. Rock, Austin Hogan will forever be the holy trinity of wrestling. It doesn’t get much better.
>>
>>15856617
Rock. He was a bigger draw
>>
>>15858845
You can just admit you don't understand pro wrestling. That's okay anon.
>>
>>15857411
>90s Nooj outdrew American shows

In Japan. Which is irrelevant. Only USA matters. Japs have no standards. They literally sell used panties in vending machines.
>>
>>15856617
Is Misawa the first overrated sperg to be considered a great thanks to Dave Memester sucking him off? Misawa was a good wrestler, but he's not even top 5 Japanese wrestler all-time, let alone worldwide. And no I'm not saying that because of modern overrated Dave boys either.
