Randy Savage 1985-1995.
I'm more of an 80s wrestling guy.. (born in the 70s)
In my mind one of the most underrated guys as far as popularity (I'd say at the time mid 80s he was second only to Hulk) and also one of my favorites was...
Hillbilly Jim... you just never hear anyone talk about him much from that time
my #2 favorite was Ivan Putski... from his kinda chubby "blue collar gimic" days to his bodybuilder looking days... I thought his son would carry on the legacy but never had much of an impact
His daughter is a Boise Dime.

Bam bam was amazing. I think it was such a waste he wasn't given the title in the mid and late 90s and was allowed to leave.Bret Hart

Although I legit hated Earthquake when he squashed Jake's snake Damien.
Was amazed that people as big as Quake, Bigelow, and Tugboat were as agile as they were.
Paul Roma did his job week in and week out and never got the glory. Stayed in shape and worked hard. I guess they even let him beat the Brooklyn Brawler from time to time.
DIG YOUR CLAWS INTO MY ORGANS! STRETCH INTO MY TENDONS! BURY YOUR ANCHORS INTO MY BONES FOR THE POWER OF THE WARRIOR WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL!

SHOULD I JUMP OFF THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD? SHOULD I LAY ON THE LAWN AND LET IT RUN OVER ME WITH LAWNMOWERS? SHOULD I GO TO AFRICA AND LET IT TRAMPLE ME WITH RAGING ELEPHANTS?
NOW YOU MUST DEAL WITH THE CREATION OF ALL THE UNPLEASANTRIES IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AS I FEEL THE INJECTION FROM THE GODS ABOVE!
Oh my god, did he actually say that shit or are you goofing on him?

Not my all time favorite, but when they had those segments where he had a barbershop, as a kid, that was awesome and fun to watch. A lot more effort was put into building a character and theme. Seems like today they just walk into the ring and talk on the mic. I liked the sets and segments they had back then.
They had a lot more characters back then. Crazy ideas, not just all pretty boys as it seems to be today. Guys like IRS and Million Dollar Man, Golddust, Steamboat and Avalanche, Tomahawk, Big Boss Man, Ravishing Rick Rude.... that era was priceless.
I don't doubt he's a legend.
But for me the difference is he had one/some of the best matches ever.
The Show Stopper, Mr. Wrestlemania, The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michales had THE best matches you will ever see in a ring.
What you mean?Check out the mark. Holy shit.
