The Hulkster coming in to "I am a real American" to face the Iron Sheik and Nikita Volkoff was the pinnacle of wrasslin.

Sam Steamboat is my vote for best ever. Wikipedia

I am very biased though. He lived across the street from us in Tampa when I was a little kid and he used to let us watch him and the other guys practicing in his garage.

You don't have to be able to fight to be a pro wrestler.

Obviously they have to have athletic ability. Some of these guys are incredible athletes. They don't need to know how to fight though.

I watched a documentary about their “Q” school that prospective wrasslers go through, pretty interesting, and pretty tough
