ayo! - BEZ
I have many wrestlers I consider to be my favorites. I am a huge fan of 60s-90s era of wrestling because it seemed real back then compared to now which is complete manufactured garbage compared to back then.
Who do you believe influenced the game and why?
me?
Kevin Sullivan - dude brought fukkery to the next level
From what I am seeing, he was one of the first to bring that hardcore demonic shyt into wrestling. I have been trying to find more footage of his early CWF days because I have heard so much about it. Dude is a legend
Jake the Snake Roberts - dudes promo game was the first i saw to be downright chilling. he would talk low so you had to listen. His psychology is often talked about as being perfection and it took me years to understand what the other wrestlers were saying btu dude was easily one of the greatest all time in ALL areas.
the viper shyt with macho man makes him one of the illest alone
Raven - raven was one of the first in the 90s to update from the cheesy 80s era to the 'new' 90s shyt with this nirvana grunge gimmick. not only was the gimmick change so on point with the era he wrestled, but his execution was flawless. He tapped into that character full time using strengths of the two guys listed above. He MADE YOU LISTEN with his soft tone and was like the new jake in a modern era.
took psychology to another level and was the top ECW star in their prime next to..
SABU
not much needs to be said about the man. its pretty much self explanatory. HARDCORE. FLYING. DEATH MATCHES.
the only person more hardcore is prolly foley who is also on my list but sabu took not only hardcore wrestling to the top but his flying around the ring was GROUNDBREAKING. aint nobody was doing what he was doing in the early 90s.He spawned a huge list of imitators and duplicators but noone ever came close to being what he was to ECW. totally irreplacable.
Even with the botches, dude was the man. Supergluing and tearinga torn bicep... yea dude is hardcore...
and plenty more. roddy piper. bret hart. mick foley.scott hall. hulk hogan. etc
Who do yall think changed the game forever
