Probably before your time. Also, a Canadian. I can't even remember the years I watched him, must've been early 70's? Know of any page where i can read more about him? I just googled, here's one: www.garywill.com/wrestling/canada/tyler.htmI saw him live once at the Crete Center in Plattsburgh, NY, where I used to play hockey.

It just seemed like some of Edge's spears where weak, sometimes he would hit them from only a couple of meters distance. They looked more like takedowns then. The spear is one of the most used moves in the buisness and everyone ever to use one have all been great. Big Show's spear though, that thing is hideus. Maybe, maybe. But no other R-rated WWE star ever made so much of a show about that. Don't tell me you didn't feel excited when someone was drooling all over the ring trying to get up and Edge sat in the corner, combing his hair back, preparing for THE spear.

Maybe it is best that Edge is gone then. The rated-R superstar wouldn't fit in the PG-era.

It's hard for me to choose just one favorite WWE wrestler. But, if I had to, I would say Stone Cold Steve Austin. He was with me throughout my entire childhood growing up. Provided some of the best moments in wrestling. Worked his ass off and was able to retire (somewhat) healthy without breaking his neck (thank God). I do wish he'd return for one match, but the only person I wanted him to face (CM Punk) is gone now. Plus, he's pretty busy nowadays doing TV shows and other things.

Leave" "Stomping Mud holes" " Austin 3:16"

Roman Reigns is currently my favorite, with Randy orton comming in at a close second. It would be Undertaker if he still was able to compete att fulltime. Lol.. Big Show over the announcer table for the count out!

Booyaka Booyaka 619. Jk it's all a bunch of scripted BS anyway I know.. I wanted to join that circus years ago. But suffered stress fractures in my back. Trying to get into the IWF, a minor league wrestling league. A lot of fun I will never forget. Met Victoria Crawford (Alicia Fox). They earned my respect. Even though it's scripted, they take a physical beating and have to be incredible athletes to do what they do.

I never really followed wrestling, but if I had to pick one based on clips I've seen, it'd be "Macho Man" Randy Savage. No question about it.
Macho Man promos are some of the most entertaining promos I've ever seen, with these two being my (perhaps obvious) favorites:
And of course, his cameo in Spider-Man "BOOOOONESAAWWW IS REAAADYYYYYY!!!!!"
