Thanks for bringing more people over to the site, @nosweargamer. My favorite wrestler is nobody, so make sure not to enter me in! Give it to someone who really wants it! But thanks for bringing some traffic this way, like you did last month.

I'm going to go with Andre the Giant, who was always a wonder to watch.  I'll also mention a second place choice:  Rowdy Roddy Piper, who got his start here in Portland.

Thanks

I loved wrestling in the 80s when it was less about beefcake physique and more about personality and charisma.

Rick, have you read the graphic novel Andre the Giant: Life and Legend? It's been a while since I read it -- must read for any Andre fan, I think.

Piper was the best.

I haven't.  I will see if my local library has it.  Thanks for the recommendation!

I have to go with Hulk Hogan! I used to watch all those Wrestlemania shows they used to have on Pay-per-view with my friends! Good times!

[Arenafoot]

Of course mine is Shawn Michaels!

 

[briggsy911]

I used to love watching wrestling with my dad. My favorite wrestler was Chief Jay Strongbow.  

[prisonerdrw]

The Ultimate Warrior was my favorite wrestler, but my favorite person in wrestling back then was Jim Cornette and his tennis racket.

 

[rampage]

Growing up, definitely Hulk Hogan, but I had the opportunity to meet Mick Foley at a charity benefit -  super nice guy and has been charitable "outside the ring"

[Sabertooth]

Growing up, I loved Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jake the Snake Roberts.  If I had to pick, I'll go with Roddy!

[Justin]

I loved Mr. T!!

It's funny those two got mentioned back to back. Piper hated Mr T for a long time, partly because T seemed to have a big ego and was invading his profession. Thankfully they made amends before Piper's passing.

So many legends to choose from! I'd probably go with Hulk Hogan since he's the first one I can remember well, and is the wrestler that likely got me first interested in wrestling not only because of his talent but also his flair. 

[socrates63]

Did someone say flair?? 

I loved Ric Flair back in the day -- such a fun entertainer and athlete

[RockyRaccoon]

I had two favorite wrestlers growing up, which was in the mid eighties/early nineties.  Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter and least one was also a GI Joe!

[Bogusflow256]

Favorite wrestler growing up was Sgt. Slaughter. Just found your channel and am up too late binge watching the episodes. You gained another subscriber. Thanks for all you do.

Welcome to the I/O, @Bogusflow256!

I came to the I/O because of NSG's give-away last month, and although I didn't win, finding the I/O community turned out to be even a better prize. Hope you find it the same. Feel free to drop in on the Introduce Yourself! sub-forum, and well, introduce yourself 🙂

[Atari 5200 Guy]

Wrestler?  I was going to say Elizabeth but she didn't wrestle.  So...Slam into a Slim Jim I'm going to have to say Macho Man Randy Savage.

Thanks and I definitely will check it out. Been too long since I was part of a forum. Can't wait to see everything here. Thanks.

I've never been in a forum before this one. I joined at the same time as @socrates63 did, also because of @nosweargamer. Both of them are great dudes. Actually, everyone I've met here has been great. I think you will enjoy it here. We'd love to hear your Atari story.

When everyone can come together for a single reason, single purpose, and leave all real life drama behind it makes a huge difference and much better overall experience. It's for our love of things once called "ATARI" that we are here.  Maybe not 100% the reason but a huge percentage of that anyway.  There's usually always something going on here. If it's not NSG doing a review there's the Squad Challenges, if it's not those then Creeper is "Creepin' It Real" or Justin is posting a bit of history.  There's always something going on.  And if you are really feeling the urge to challenge someone there's always the 2-Player Battles.  Simply PM someone to challenge, agree on a time, system, and game, and off you go.  Best two of three games win.  What more could anyone want?

I think that is the real appeal of wrestling.  We tend to remember who we watched with and the strong emotions we felt.  I remember being introduced to wrestling by my friend "Big Mac" and his parents, who were so enthusiastic about it.  It took about 10 minutes for me to get into it too!

Congrats to the winner!  And thank you @nosweargamer for all you do.
