Johnny Legacy's Deep Thoughts

The Favorites Lists

No real *deep* thoughts here, I just thought I'd get a record of my lists of favorite wrestlers in one place, if anyone was ever curious or to provide a bit of perspective on where I'm coming from in my reviews or modern articles. Here we go!

The Lists of Ten

Top 10 All Time Favorites (retired wrestlers only)

10. Arn Anderson
9. Shawn Michaels
8. Vader
7. Sting (mostly surfer Sting)
6. Steve Austin (all eras- WCW Stunning, ECW, Stone Cold)
5. CM Punk
4. Kurt Angle
3. Bret Hart
2. Randy Savage
1. Ric Flair

(note- when he finally, hopefully a long while from now, retires for real Daniel Bryan will be in the top five, which includes his Bryan Danielson ROH years when I became a fan of his)

Top 10 All Time Favorite Tag Teams (retired only)

10. The Hardy Boyz
9. The Fabulous Freebirds
8. Edge & Christian
