The Top 15 Wrestlers of the ‘90s: An Introduction
Posted by: The 90s Guy In: People| Television
If there was one thing I liked in the ‘90s, it was professional wrestling. Now, before you start snickering, think about it: it was entertaining, it was “guy”-type entertainment (read: a bunch of guys beating the crap out of each other), and I was a kid. I grew up watching it and loving every minute of it.
Now, I don’t really keep up with wrestling anymore. Outside of a few friends getting together to watch WrestleMania every year, I don’t watch it. I think it’s devolved to even dumber plots than ever before, and not much about it is very entertaining.
I recently had the pleasure of watching World Wrestling Entertainment’s latest DVD offering, “The Greatest Superstars of the ‘90s” (thank you, Netflix!), and it just bummed me out. I miss the days when wrestling was entertaining.
I was originally going to do a “Top 10” today, but I had a hard time narrowing it down. So, this week is Wrestling Week, where I look at the Top 15 wrestlers of the decade. This is my list, not yours. Disagree all you want, I don’t care. I had my own set of criteria to base my opinions on, and I stand by it.
This is not a “my favorite” list. This is a list of wrestlers I feel were the most important in the ‘90s – and they made the decade a heckuva lot of fun to watch. Enjoy!
