HDN Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 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. nosweargamer, socrates63, Justin and 3 others 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 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.

It's been a while since I read it -- must read for any Andre fan, I think. Piper was the best.

prisonerdrw Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 The Ultimate Warrior was my favorite wrestler, but my favorite person in wrestling back then was Jim Cornette and his tennis racket. nosweargamer, Justin, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampage Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 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" Justin, briggsy911, nosweargamer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Growing up, I loved Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jake the Snake Roberts.

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. briggsy911, Justin, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samos 2-3 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 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 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Did someone say flair?? I loved Ric Flair back in the day -- such a fun entertainer and athlete samos 2-3, Justin and nosweargamer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 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!

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 🙂 nosweargamer and Justin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Wrestler? I was going to say Elizabeth but she didn't wrestle.

Actually, everyone I've met here has been great. I think you will enjoy it here.

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? Justin, socrates63, nosweargamer and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
