 Wow. That's the one word I have to start off this article. I've been with the WWF (Now the WWE... ugh) for a lot of years. For as long as I can remember. I don't mean I was actually a wrestler. Or was I? Nah. But I have watched the World Wrestling Federation, from the time I was born well up until a couple years ago. I swear as soon as I popped out of that Uterus I was on the couch watching Hulk Hogan do some ass kicking. When the WCW and ECW joined the WWF I just kind of... how should I put this? Oh, I know. I Stopped watching it. I'm not a huge fan of today's wrestling but from about 1987-1998, I was. Ah, those were the years and those years had THE wrestlers. Forget about today's wrestlers like Brock Lesner. The guys I'm talking about are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be (Hey, I just quoted Bret Hart. Bonus points on that one!) such as Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker (The long haired dead man, not the short haired biker), Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vader, Yokozuna, Lex Luger, Ric Flair, Ahmed Johnson, Doink the Clown (Well... Maybe I'm going a little too far), Goldust, Kane (Classic), and VINCE McMAHON. I know that he's not a wrestler but c'mon, it's frigging Vince McMahon!
It's a little difficult to say how much better wrestling used to be than it is now if I haven't watched Live wrestling for two years. I mean sure, I still watch old tapes of the good days, but that's the stuff I know about! I don't know if Kane still wrestles for the company or not. I don't know if the Nation of Domination came back or not. I don't know if Jimmy Snuka owns the company or not. Hell, I couldn't even tell you who won the last two Wrestlemanias or who's the current champ. But I know one thing, Classic wrestling will live forever... Since this was a pretty short article. I'm going to do a little tribute by putting up some pictures of great wrestlers of yesteryear.
