Mr. T-Zone Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Another day, another week. WWE has compiled another list of what they think in said topic. This week, they have brought together a Top 50 List of the Ultimate Good Guys in wrestling history that spans WWE, WCW, NWA, and ECW. Some folks might try to tell you it’s the villians that make sports-entertainment fun. And why not? It’s the baddies in the black hats who get to throw fireballs, electrocute millionaires and run people over with monster trucks. But it’s the good guys who give the fans something to believe in, a hero to look up to and a reminder that, more often than not, good does triumph over evil.In compiling our list of the 50 greatest good guys in sports-entertainment history, WWE Classics extended our gaze beyond WWE history, paying specific attention to local heroes who made an impact in smaller territories across the country in the days before television. Popularity was important, but so was character — there was a special place on this list for those who never strayed far from the path of righteousness. More than anything, though, we were just looking for heroes, those inspiring competitors worthy of being enshrined on a tattered poster on a kid’s bedroom wall. Here, we present the 50 Superstars that wrestling fans grew up admiring — and still do today. Top 50 List :50 Diamond Dallas Page 49 Rocky Johnson 48 Bob Armstrong 47 Trish Stratus 46 Danny Hodge 45 Tommy Dreamer 44 Pedro Morales 43 Kofi Kingston 42 Ivan Putski 41 Tommy Rich 40 Lex Luger 39 Wahoo McDaniel 38 Eddie Guerrero 37 Antonio Rocca 36 Mr. Wrestling II 35 Jerry "The King" Lawler 34 Tito Santana 33 Verne Gagne 32 Rob Van Dam 31 Chief Jay Strongbow 30 Jack Brisco 29 "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan 28 Bob Backlund 27 Mil Mascaras 26 The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) 25 Bobo Brazil 24 "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels 23 Dick the Brusier & Reggie the Crusher 22 Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka 21 Goldberg 20 Mankind 19 "Macho Man" Randy Savage 18 Magnum TA 17 Ultimate Warrior 16 Jeff Hardy 15 Andre the Giant 14 The Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) 13 The Junkyard Dog 12 The Undertaker 11 The Von Erich Family 10 Rey Mysterio 09 Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat 08 The Rock 07 Dusty Rhodes 06 Bret "The Hitman" Hart 05 "The Icon" Sting 04 John Cena (OMG Really?) 03 "Stone Cold" Steve Austin 02 Hulk Hogan 01 Bruno Sammartino What are your thoughts?

A-Bel Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 this is the most screwed up, chewed up list wwe has ever produced. Undertaker is as evil as they come. He crucified stone cold, set his own brother on fire, kidnapeed stephanie, and hung the big boss man. Just to name a few things he has done. Hbk not only threw his best freind through a plate glass window, he also turned his back on the fans and founded dx stone cold torture his boss,drank way to much, and constantly flipped people off for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperOps Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Wonder if Bruno was hated as much as Cena is hated by smark fans back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 stone cold torture his boss,drank way to much, and constantly flipped people off for no reason That was apart of Stone Cold's character. He was a rebellious, anti-establishment type of guy, hence the reason why he kicked Vince's ass most of the time, and people loved him for it. He was anit-hero.

V to I Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Pretty surprised at all of the older names on this, like Antonio Rocca, which was pretty sweet. Some names on here though don't belong though. Taker is beloved by fans and has been for decades, but good guy? Hardly. Taker kind've transcends good and evil in my opinion, but as far as your good guy characters go, I can't put him in there. Especially when you look at his heel past, where he's sacrificed, kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed people. Solid list though, nice seeing the Rock n' Roll in there.

Ayatollah Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Eddie lied, cheated, and stole. Shawn Michaels would screw over his best friend. Stone Cold damn near killed his boss. The Undertaker didn't want to beat his opponent, he wanted their damn soul. Goldberg was so dangerous, he has to be escorted to the ramp. These were not nice men. We all know John Cena should be number one. He is Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vii Kay Oh Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Austin was an anti-hero, not an 'ultimate good guy-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He crucified stone cold, set his own brother on fire, kidnapeed stephanie, and hung the big boss man. Just to name a few things he has done. I agree with this, even as The American Bad Ass he wasn't exactly good if anything apart from the Ministry era Undertaker i'd say he is neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
вlueprint Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Typical WWE list. Don't agree at all with the top 3 but it's WWE's list. lol @ Stone Cold in the top 3. Even Warrior should be ahead of Stone Cold on a GOOD guys list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

american dream Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 nice to see Magnum TA on the list also.. and when I seen the title, I assumed Steamboat would be #1.. he was a good guy, his whole career, should be in the top 5, at the minimum... though, I see some people missing, that could replace the ones, some here are questioning.. Sgt. Slaughter, Davey Boy, Ron Simmons(maybe), Rick Steiner, George "The Animal" Steele, Koko B. Ware.. are just some, that could replace some people have a problem with.. though, really surprised that Koko & George Steele, were not on the list from the start.

JGPLX. Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Stone Cold? GOOD? No.3?! F*ck this planet. Eddie lied, cheated, and stole. Shawn Michaels would screw over his best friend. Stone Cold damn near killed his boss. The Undertaker didn't want to beat his opponent, he wanted their damn soul. Goldberg was so dangerous, he has to be escorted to the ramp. These were not nice men. We all know John Cena should be number one. He is Superman. This. Hogan should be top 5 as he was face for the majority of his career. Cena should be too. Austin definitely shouldn't. The list is for GOOD GUYS, which doesn't necessarily means faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know John Cena should be number one. He is Superman. John Cena beats up and humiliates defenseless commentators when they Cena out on some of the bullshit he has done. Makes terrible STD jokes about Lita and Edge, and makes Vickie fatjokes, and is quite the liar himself. No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGION Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 How can guys like Jerry Lawler and Stone Cold get on such a list????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Øhlin Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am shocked Cena didn't make number one, as well as that Eddie made the list. I'm curious though as to why Christian isn't up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Maniac Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Jeff Hardy in the top 20... pretty good. Kofi Kingston made it but not JoMo? Both are awesome imo but if Kofi made it i'd think JoMo would too... o well Also don't know who some of these people are since i started watching WWE in 2000, left it around 2005 and came back at 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
