Undertaker
My personal favorite.
Opinion: best character/gimmick ever. Arguably the best big man ever. Arguably the GOAT, in general.

HHH. Might not be on the Austin,Hogan or Rock level but nowhere near as bad as his detractors claim. A lot of people have changed their tune on him due to his work on NXT and behind the scenes.
I know but there is still some around that like bringing it up on reditt from what I've seen. |

Bobby Heenan
GOAT of managers. Him and Naitch are the reasons I became a fan of pro wrestling in the first place

Jim Cornette
Probably #2 or #3 manager of all time
Entertaining as a performer
Even more entertaining on his podcasts
The amount of heat he was with a portion of fans without even having to be on tv, much less leave his house, is a tremendous feat. He basks in it, too. Which makes it even better.

Mick Foley: Not even a glorified stunt man. He only wishes he could be something like that. His promos are moronic. Yea never was a fun. Liked his run as Mankind (the original Mankind) but other that, no interest Damn... I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone say that about Foley. The stuntman stuff yeah but I generally thought he was loved by everyone. |

When Tony sai d"that'll put some butts in the seat" when he announced Foley won the title I would have been one of those butts

True say I’ve normally seen people praise the hell outta the guy, he comes across as a guy who you just wanna see win in life. |

I think WCW/early Mankind was his best also and is at least enough to consider yourself somewhat of a fan. |

I can't knock Foley too much, he put his body on the line for years and did so years before him making Attitude Era money. He had an IT factor more than your average ECW guy or otherwise they would have been in his place in WWF 1990s but I do agree with the Flair comment. As a kid I loved seeing the demolition derby that was a Foley match but as an adult I think what he did was awful to his body. I think it's awful that his co-workers went along with it like Taker throwing him off the cage or Rock smashing him directly in the head with chair shots.
I used to be very anti-Foley often posting the "crud" thread in posts about him but seeing fan encounters over the last 5 or so years I can see he has changed. And I think he is a guy who ultimately loves his family and will do anything for money and probably did a lot of the crazy moves so they could have money for the family. I also believe much like Owen Hart, he was a thrifty guy so he could save and provide for his family. A guy like that in his era was probably pretty rare.

The Rock
He is such a showman and such a great character that it often gets overlooked just how exciting he was in the ring. He has a whole catalog of fantastic matches to his name, but because his schtick was so great, it never really gets brought up that when the bell went, he could freaking go!

Rocky had too many great matches & I loved his in ring tbh, underrated for sure! |
