Opinions on final placement:
“Say Hello to The Bad Guy!” Scott Hall has one of the greatest minds in the wrestling industry. Period. His resume is incredible, but honestly, he didn’t live up to his potential. Hall could have been an active WWE Superstar & making loads of cash throughout the mid to late 2000’s if he kept his act together. Hall’s demons got the best of him for many years. But near tragedy turned to triumph as Scott Hall has overcome his issues with the help of Diamond Dallas Page. He was one of the coolest wrestlers out there for years. A Top 50 Spot for Scott Hall is a given due to his accomplishments throughout his career. A founding member of the nWo, multiple time champion & an innovator of the ladder match gives him a well deserved spot.” – Jay Alletto
“A pillar of the attitude era in the world of pro wrestling. NWO original and some extremely solid matches as Razor Ramon. Needs to be much higher because of what he meant to the business of wrestling. There is no attitude era without him. He was the catalyst for everything about that era, which just so happens to be the best and most profitable era in wrestling history. He changed the game and deserves better recognition.” – Zack Heydorn
“Known for his work as Razor Ramon for the WWF, and Scott Hall with WCW, Hall was one of the biggest stars during the ‘Monday Night Wars’. A founding member of one of the most influential and popular factions of all time, the New World Order, “The Bad Guy” was inducted into the WWE hall of fame in 2014. His ladder match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X will go down in history as one of, if not the greatest, ladder match of all time. Saying that, in my opinion, Hall is not quite up to the standard of being classified as one of the 50 greatest wrestlers of all time.” — Matt Burgess
“Okay, I definitely have soft spot for the Bad Guy. I don’t think you can find a “cooler” wrestler in wrestling history than Razor Ramon. Not only was Hall a really great worker, who would take his bumps and do his jobs, but he was part of one of the most influential groups in pop culture and wrestling history, the NWO. Finally, we have to take into account that even today, now that he’s in a sober state of mind, Hall is giving back to the business with his son Cody and his routine trips down to the WWE Performance Center.” — Eron Ramadanov
Jones is so overrated – the guy was given the ball MULTIPLE times in TNA and did nothing for numbers – that is just fact.
Even in pre-Dixie times, that the idiot Universe CLAIM THEY worship.
Want more proof?
RAW Monday, with Allen Neal featured, got its lowest rating of the year.
The OTHER dirty little secret is that Goatface Bryan Danielson never got numbers either.
These guys only appeal to smarks.
On top of all that – AJ is botch heaven – he has SERIOUSLY injured a FEW guys in the last year.
And the look and persona he has now?
Was honed by Dixie in the end of his TNA days.
Jones is a traitor – he held up Dixie for money, when he didn’t draw flies.
Dixie isn’t a charity – you want more money? Do your job and put butts in the seats.
Jones had his chance and failed.
Peace out.
My top 5 wrestlers ever – this is based on not only skill, but the TOTAL package – what they did for wrestling, their record, interview skills – just EVERYTHING involved in making someone special.
Someone may have more skill, but the other guy above may not be as good in the ring, but was a bigger star due to interviewing, drew more attention to wrestling, etc.
This is my top 5 singles wrestlers EVER in order:
1. Hulk Hogan
2. Ric Flair
3. Roddy Piper
4. Bret Hart
5. Stone Cold Steve Austin
BONUS: My top 5 tag teams:
1. Road Warriors (always and forever)
2. Demolition ( a blatant rip-off – and somehow made it their own)
3. Tully and Arn
4. Midnight Express
5. Rock n Roll Express
