As your elder, pro rasslin' is right in my wheelhouse. I grew up with Bruno Sammartino's long WWWF (precursor to the WWE) title run. I was at the Philly Spectrum when Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka dove from the top of a steel cage right onto the prone carcass of Don 'Magnificent' Muraco. I was at the Philly Civic Center the night the Midnight Express (my all-time fave tag team) took the WCW Tag Titles from Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, who were headed to the WWE.
My faves: Superstar Billy Graham, with his white Muhammad Ali persona, who should've been WWWF champ for a much longer run, but Vince didn't like heel champs, so Bob Backlund became the long-term champ; Ric Flair, 'nuff said; Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura, two of the reasons why NJPW was the best wrestling organization in the world the last 5 years or so. And, yes, the pre-killer Chris Benoit, he was that good (I have no doubt that his brains were scrambled due to his extreme style.)
Fave tag teams: Midnight Express, the Road Warriors, the Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhardt), the British Bulldogs.
Fave Managers: Jim Cornette, The Grand Wizard of Wrestling, Lou Albano.
