Let's make it of the "modern" era so we're not talking Gorgeous George or some pogue nobody's ever heard of. In fact, let's define it as people active from 1997 to today.
I'll say Stone Cold Steve Austin. No doubt Hulk Hogan like him or not, really changed wrestling, but I think Austin tops him. Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Ric Flair.
Gable. Went to Waterloo West High. ISU. Olympic champ. Coached U of Iowa to the most incredible dynasty ever. 181-1 high school and college. Only defeat was his very last college match. He is 71 and still alive. All hail the greatest ever. Yes, I was born, raised and wrestled in Iowa.

Dresser is bringing Iowa State back, lookout Hawkeyes!
Sorry, but pro wrestling is such bullshit. Complete fakery. The greatest wrestler of all-time? Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, John Smith, Jordan Burroughs or maybe some Russian. Take your pick.

If that is the persona of slumlord, I'm falling in line behind him. Everyone has got to have their own heroes. I guess maybe I may not always reach as high as I should of, I don't know.

You're a f u cking retard.
Call names all you want but pro-"wrestling" is a complete fraud and we both know it. Fraud and fakery don't entertain me. Give me real wrestling, real competition any day over the fake stuff. Hulk Hogan? Dr. Death? Neither would've lasted 30 seconds with Bruce Baumgartner or Alexander Karelin. In fact, Baumgarter wrestled "Dr. Death" in college and kicked his ass six ways from Sunday.

Next you'll be telling us Roller Derby wasn't real too.

It's entertainment. It's acting. Why compare it to real wrestling? I don't watch it often. If I happen to channel surf into it, I might watch it. I do have respect for the strength, athleticism, agility, toughness and acting ability of the participants.

Guess I am too. Call it wrestling entertainment, and no doubt those guys have athleticism, but it ain't wrestling.
I remember him doing a promo where he put his back against a wall and his feet on the bumper of an El Camino. Driver got in the care put it in gear and started white smoking the tires. Ivan just smiled and held him.
Another couple strong men were the Iron Sheik and Hercules Ayalla, not sure on the spelling of Hercules last name.
WHOOO!!!! Nature boy Ric Flair. For you real wrestling fans who say Cael Sanderson Karelin Gable those 3 tough as they are would be cannon fodder for Stan Hansen Harley Race and Terry Bam Bam Gordy.
It took several guys to hold it and keep it together. Many of those include Andre, Hulk Hogan, Cena, the Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and yeah, maybe even the Rock.
Greg The Hammer Valentine, dropped the figure four on Hulk Hogan. But again.... pre-97. Post 97 I would have said HH, but since someone said The Rick, it’s probably him - all time. Gorgeous George to present. He’s been in so many films and everything. He could be, and likely is, the MOST “famous” wrestler, of all time.

I’m sure there are enough ‘Cans around that Rey Mysterio should garner an honorable mention.
Lucha Libre.
Coming out of TJ on Saturday nights on the Mexico feed................right after the bullfights . Or maybe those were on Sunday from the TJ Bullring.
Old days of TV antennae. We had to have a tall one for most local channels, and one about halfway up the mast to pick up one San Diego station, it also picked up the TJ station.

...............Well I think ya go with Hulkster Hogan not only before '97 but afterwards too. Then Steve Austin. As for my favorite to watch? Bill Goldberg.....
