Anyone else remember Glacier? WCW spent $500k on promo videos and his entrance.

Glacier was terrible, but I liked the tag team they brought in to fight glacier--Mortis (Kanyon) and Wrath, managed by James (can't remember his last name--satanic looking guy).

Buff Bagwell still wrestles in a barn on the side of the highway near my hometown in north Alabama. Sign usually reads something like "Midget wrestling & WWE's Buff Bagwell this Saturday"

I don't think I had 10 "favorites," but I'll throw out some I used to like when I was growing up:

1. Sting (always my #1)

The rest:

Hulk Hogan
The Rockers - (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jeanetty)
Val Venis
Roddy Piper
Road Warriors - (Hawk and Animal)
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Ultimate Warrior

I got back into wrestling a good bit in college, and really liked The Rock. Thought he was hilarious.

I used to LOVE wrestling so much

I remember begging and pleading with my parents to order the PPV events when I was a kid. They never would do it. So every time one rolled around I would just cry while it was going on

Loved watching WWF Mania on Saturday morning with Todd Pettengill while eating my cereal

Dude, I remember one time my mom took me to a show at the Centroplex downtown, and the main event was the Ultimate Warrier vs. Andre the Giant for the Intercontinental Belt. I was SO fricking pumped...she even bought me an Ultimate Warrior t-shirt.

Anyway, the match consisted of this:

Andre is standing in the ring. Ultimate Warrior gets announced. He SPRINTS out, runs around the ring, gets in the ring, goes back and forth on the ropes several times, clotheslines Andre two or three times, then pins him and sprints out the ring and then backstage.

I was so upset. I was like "That's it??" And my mom was FURIOUS.

Over the years, I've looked for that match, and I think I found it a while back: LINK

fricking bullshite.

I forgot about Rated RKO and Pillman/Austin as a tag team. I like them.

If I had watched wrestling past the age of 13, I might had a list more suitable for your approval.

reminds me of one of the royal rumbles where the bushwhackers entered the ring and immediately were thrown out and kept doing their patented strut
