Posted: Oct 2nd, '12, 15:13
While reading Paul Hayman's "10 Heyman Guys" list on WWE.com, I stumbled upon their "Top 50 Good Guys in Wrestling History" list as well.
Here is my list and my reaction; please provide yours as well, or don't and feel my wrath:
50) DDP- Why is WCW's People's Champion at the very bottom of this list? DDP is at least top 20 (prolly top 15) imo.
49) Rocky Johnson- can't really speak on him; haven't watched much WWE from those days.
48) Bob Armstrong- can't speak on him.
47) Trish Stratus- Medusa better be on this list then.
46) Danny Hodge- never heard of him
45) Tommy Dreamer- I'd def put him higher; he was the top babyface of one of the top promotions during wrestling's peak.
44) Pedro Morales- understood. His rep justifies him being on the list.
43) Kofi Kingston- shouldn't be ranked higher than most of the others previously mentioned, but he could be on the list.
42) Ivan Putski- can't speak on him.
41) Tommy Rich- I only knew him as a heel, so I can't really speak on him either.
40) Lex Luger- :ymsick: are you kiddin' me? DEF shouldn't be on the list.
39) Wahoo McDaniel- DEF should be on the list.
38) Eddie Guerrero- Same as above.
37) Antonio Rocco- can't speak on him
36) Mr. Wrestling II- can't speak on him either
35) Jerry Lawler- understandable; DEF HAS to be on the list
34) Tito Santana- Def should be on the list.
33) Verne Gagne- Same as Above
32) RVD- DEF approve!
31) Chief Jay Strongbow- Def should
30) JAck Briscoe- Def should
29) Jim Duggan- Glad to see him on here; excellent character.
28) Bob Backlund- Def should
27) Mil Mascaras- prolly should be lower on the list, depending on who comes after him.
26) the Road Warriors- IDK about this one. They were mega over, but I'm not sure if I'd call them "Good Guys."
25) Bobo Brazil- Not sure; I know a bit about him, but never thought he was a MAJOR face.
24) HBK- OK
23) the Crusher & the Bruiser- understood.
22) Jimmy Snuka- Yes, but maybe not so high on the list.
21) Goldberg- I hate him, but he should prolly be higher on the list.
20) Mankind- OK
19) Randy Savage- DEF should be higher; top 10 imo.
18) Magnum T.A.- Glad he's on the list;DEF belongs in the top 20, too.
17) Ultimate Warrior- Of course; could be higher.
16) Jeff Hardy- OK
15) Andre the Giant- Should be in the top 10
14) the Rock N Roll Express- Of course
13) JYD- Should be on the list, but not this high on the list.
12) Undertaker- Of course
11) the Von Erichs- Of course
10) Rey Mysterio- should be hovering around this exact spot.
9) Ricky Steamboat- Def deserves this spot
8) the Rock- should be higher, depending on who comes after him
7) Dusty Rhodes- of course
6) Bret Hart- Yes
5) Sting- YES! Glad they gave him a proper spot, too.
4) John Cena- Yep
3) Steve Austin- Yep
2) Hulk Hogan- Wait, who's # 1, then?
1) Bruno Sammartino- of course.
Overall, this list isn't bad; but where is Lou Thesz and Sgt. Slaughter? I'd put them in place of Luger and LOD.
