I'm not sure who Macho man is but Hulk was just big because he used to be popular imo.

My fav is Rvd, and maybe goldberg,

10. You guys are ignoring the greatest wrestling personality of all time.
He was not a wrestler, per se, but his impact upon the industry was undeniable--his presence reverberates today.


I speak, of course, about the Gobbeldy Gooker.

For every turd of a storyline and every god-awful gimmick in this day and age, we owe to that giant turkey.

16. Gee, thanks for reminding me of the Gobbeldy Gooker. Not.
His appearance was what caused my boyfriend (at the time) to stop watching professional wrestling because the stupidity level had gone way too far.

14. Remember Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake?
He currently is working part-time for the MBTA (subway) in Boston, in the booth selling tokens. Actually, he may have lost that job because a "white powder" scare in the Boston subway was due to some cocaine that belonged to him. At least he had the cojones to come forward and explain about the powder, as the authorities were of course worried about anthrax, et al.

17. That was George who ate turnbuckles.
I loved watching him--he was such a riot! Beefcake would give his opponents haircuts after defeating them.

18. Wahoo McDaniel
http://www.wrestlingmuseum.com/pages/bios/halloffame/wahoobio.html



Wahoo McDaniel
Real Name: Ed McDaniel
Stats: 5' 11" 280 lbs.

Wahoo McDaniel's story is one of the most interesting in the sport, as the Oklahoman was a standout performer not only in professional wrestling, but also as a member of several successful NFL squads. And although he didn't have to, throughout his entire career as a professional athlete, Wahoo always took his position as a role model for Native Americans very seriously. This multi-time champion was also one of the sport's most travelled, as he wrestled in virtually every territory within the NWA or AWA at one point or another. Although he was a hugely popular fan favorite throughout the majority of his 20+ year long career, Wahoo was also one of the most intense and violent. Occasionally, this intensity led fans to view Wahoo as a "heel" and he "crossed the fence" more than once during his lengthy career. Still, his drawing power and sheer popularity (whether it be as a "goodguy" or a "bad guy") was undeniable, and he wrestled most of his career as a beloved hero. As a champion, there were few who were more prolific. And as a performer, few could get their story across inside the ring the way Wahoo did. Simply put, "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel was one of the most important wrestlers of the late 20th century...
