Probably, the most unique thing about Ultimate Warrior real name James Brian Hellwig was the way how he appeared on the ring. At the beginning of his career, Ultimate Warrior was the only wrestler who did not go, he ran into the ring, and after sprinting around it for a while he clung to the top rope and shook it, as if he was zapped.
Fans were delighted with his entertaining behavior, so their army was constantly growing due to this manner. Warrior attracted fans only with his energetic antics, horrifying face expressions and demonstration of his strength and muscles. Actually, wrestling itself was not the point of Warriors interest, so he kept on training at the gym and pumping up muscles. The only technique that Warrior could perform in the ring was extremely rude rod.
The second technique was a running Splash. But even these techniques Warriors performed ineptly, rudely and constantly hurt his opponents. In the summer of , he wrestled Bobby Heenan in a series of weasel suit matches, in which Warrior won by sleeper hold.

Andre, Show and Khali spent most of their careers above lbs, sometimes brushing Those are probably the only guys who most non-wrestling viewers will know or at least heard of, if you ask a random stranger in the streets.
But I doubt most of those same people will know who the newer guys like Reigns, Mcintyre or Owens is. The fact is, less and less people are turning away from wrestling as the years pass by, and part of that could very well be due to the talent feeling less special and not standing out as much. But the way the wrestlers are being booked and scripted is largely to blame.
WWE management doesn't seem to know how to create new breakout stars these days anymore. If they can't even quite book Reigns and Mcintyre the 2 faces of the company ATM the right way, then there's no hope for Omogobehin. I just can't agree with him being anywhere near on the top 10 list, regardless of his size. McIntyre, Reigns and Wyatt get a pass. They look like wrestlers and Wyatt is better than what he's doing. In my opinion, WWE have let the bar drop. Nothing wrong with smaller guys Bryan, Owens and Styles don't stand out as special Omogobehin is new but none of the 7fters were really known for their mic skills including Andre, Khali and Big Show While it's true that wrestlers on average have gotten smaller, not all are small.
Nothing wrong with having a preference for giants and big men, but Omogobehin has barely gotten his feet wet in wrestling, has zero charisma or personality, and hasn't even cut a promo except for a couple of words. He's currently only there as Styles' bodyguard, and hasn't even wrestled a single match on the Main Roster. To even put him in the top right now is crazy talk IMO. We need to give him a few years before putting him in any "top" lists, or at the very least when he eventually breaks away from Styles and gets his singles run.
J2 My top 5 in the last 10 years are: 1. Lesnar 2. Orton 3. Cena 4. Bryan 5. But it's safe to say that no one in the last 10 years had a bigger influence in changing the landscape of wrestling than Lesnar, that's why he's my 1.
Or in baseball Chipper Jones oddly and Cal Ripken. Kevin Owens I don't know about you but I'd pay to see a 7ft2 jacked beast over these skinny dudes who look like part-timers who work at Burger King to pay for their gear to wrestle indies at weekends Taker no doubt is one of the most iconic and I loved him aswell Omogobeihn in my humblest opinion is only thing worthwhile currently How about the top 10 in WWE of this era?
I wanna put Taker in there, but I feel he hasn't delievered as much impact in those years, since he wrestled only a small handful of matches and was way past his prime. No Undertaker? He is by far my favorite. The Rock. Charisma for days, awesome look and incredibly entertaining.
Shawn Michaels. Charismatic, ahead of his time as a technical wrestler. Bret Hart. Another skilled technical wrestler, this time with slightly less charisma in favour of a more devastating finisher. Randy Orton. Brilliant heel character, be it as the legend killer or otherwise, and always puts on a classic match.
Ric Flair. Rey Mysterio. Brilliant technical wrestler who not only managed to succeed in an era when big men ruled wrestling, but also carried his agility and charisma on into the current era. Mick Foley. Definitely the face or rather three faces of hardcore wrestling but also brilliantly entertaining without it. Brilliant as both a face and a heel, on his own or in a tag team. I became a huge Edge fan the minute I first watched one of his matches. He has all of the traits I like.
Cool character and personality, devastating finisher, good look, and charisma. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but that has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Gassed to the gills though. Didn't look great toward the end 8 Jordan Omogobehin 7ft2 Barely got his beak wet but the fact that WWE have hired a guy like him again when it looked like they never would He brought the sport to a whole new level in the 80's and was a top dog in the 90's in the NOW as well.
He has the same peak as the Rock but way better longevity. He'd be in my top 20 though, for sure. Same goes for Warrior. Mind you though, that I'm a relatively "new" wrestling fan, so most wrestlers in my list are gonna be from the Attitude Era and beyond.
As for Brutus, I haven't seen enough of him to decide yet. I agree with you though. While all 3 of them had tons of charisma and great physiques especially Hogan and Warrior , they felt forced and not genuine enough.
I'm also the type to value promo skills a lot. As far as promos go, all 3 were mediocre, and none of them were even close to being in the same league as Flair and The Rock, which is the main reason why I think they're tied for the 1 greatest IMO. As for Orton, he's gotta be the greatest of this era past 15 years , if not, at least the top 5. He's still killing it in in his feud with Mcintyre. J2 Edge would be in my top 20 or even top 15, but I just can't see 10, sorry.
I know many would disagree with me though. He's above Orton easily. I definitely have Taker in mine along with the Rock. I like UW a lot but I liked Hulk too. Taker is widely regarded as that. I would've added more older wrestlers, but I've only been watching wrestling for around 20 years, so my knowledge of wrestling prior to the Attitude Era is pretty limited, unfortunately.
J2Frenzy It's a very subjective topic. My 1 would be either Ric Flair or The Rock. But for many other people, he is. When it comes to wrestling, this guy has to be in the conversation. Warrior was about 6'2 when he was younger but shrivelled to maybe 5'11 when he died.
Warrior may have been 6'2. About the same height as sting. Warrior was lb at the beginning of his wrestling career in about He shriveled up to maybe 5'11 and lb at his death. Look at the boots he always has on. Nice size heels. Billed at at one point hahahaha. He had the development and the height to impress audiences and the other wrestlers. Might have been a few inches shorter than some of these guys, but was a work-out master! When lifting pound people for a press, height seemed to be of little concern, when those people fell from 8 feet up, to the hard mat!!
God Bless Warrior, whom spoke it how it was, and lived a epic life! Hennig is a hard one to guess, at times look's 6'1, other times 6'2. I know he was big on standing on his tip toes when next to other wrestlers. They are no taller than 5' Maybe shorter at around 5'10 when older. Can someone else confirm?
Davey boy smith next to rick rude looks 6" shorter. Just curious who are you looking to add next? Would the following be ones you would consider? Looked to be 6ft at the time of his death. My dad couldn't believe how much taller I was than him. There is a match of davey boy smith teaming with ultimate warrior. Davey boy smith looks only 5'9 to me. Warrior 6'1? Click Here.
I'd estimate that he was 6'0. Interestingly he says he weighs 35lbs less than his peak he was 45 at the time and he says he still occasionally gets up to lbs. Id guess he was weighing lbs to lbs at the time. As far as height i'd say 6'2 peak, as with most guys who lose height you can see in later life his neck looked shorter, he looked hunched, his arms looked long.
When I met him in 08 I'd say he was just over 6ft. He still had very broad shoulders but his big suit jacket made it hard to determine his weight. I always thought he was huge but it was more to do with his physique and puffy hair that gave the illusion of a monster. But looking back now he was barely in boots. I would say without boots.
He was maybe 6'0. In truth he was under Hogan was peak WWF told bogus tales on heights. I think he had to have been near 6ft2. I dont know but Arnold looks not big so I believe it's far from his retirement of Bodybuilding in Nevertheless, the ultimate warrior is taller. I do believe that he was a strong cm at least in the 80's. Nothing less.
But with kg of muscles during all these years, he shrunk to cm. Watch, it's on youtube. Definitely had more than a couple inches on Ric Flair, who was still a solid 5'11 in his first WWF run As for Randy Savage, there are a couple of mentions of him being 6'1 His baseball card: Click Here An article from when he left baseball for wrestling: Click Here.
Rude was one of the few who looked his exact billed stats 6ft, lbs , visibly taller than 6ft range guys. Hennig at 6ft3 is a stretch when you see him with Rude. Around the same as Warrior arguably 6ft2 aswell.
Randy Savage didn't really look his billed 6ft2 but definitely not under 6ft like some have guessed. Near 6ft1 in his prime is believable. Curt Hennig looked 6'2". Rude always had 1. I'm 6'3". He was about 6'2" then. I'm 5' Bear in mind this was 20 years after his prime I would agree, I met him in 08, I'm 6'05 and I'd say he was pretty much eye to eye with me. We had similar style boots, I would have said 6'1 tops.
I've shared my picture on here plenty of times and there's nothing between us.
