10 most important wrestlers of all time
grimace:
Flair's got 16 recognized, official title reigns. But depending on how much you go to the "smart" sites, he can have anywhere from 16 to 20.
M dogg's was pretty much on point. I wouldn't have put Liger in there becuase I don't know who he is. But Snucka would show up in there somewhere.
I kinda think Flair should be higher than Stone Cold, becuase he is the greatest wrestler of all time, but as I think about it, I'd have to agree with you.

A couple of mistakes... I was going off memory and not websites. And I did hear McMahon say that in fact Austin has made more money for the WWF than even Hulk Hogan. Inflation has a great deal to do with that, as Hulkamania shirts were lke $10, were as Austin 3:16 shirts were $20. Austin 3:16 shirts though were also the highest selling shirt ever, in terms of money grossed, and number sold. Maybe Flair has 16 title reigns, I lost count at 14... LOL. And I figured it was a gimmick for Andre, but hey, it worked to promote the great Wrestlemania III match.
Also, my rankings could change, I went off what is more important to the busness than rather the actual wrestling. Like many of Liger's moves are done by Billy Kidman, Rey Mistero Jr., Shawn Michaels, and many other high flyers. And since the high flying moves are greatly important for getting littler wrestlers over, that would rank higher than say being just a great wrestler, 'cause when everyone copies you, they built your legacy for you.
Oh, and the person that will be on that list someday, maybe even number one is Kurt Angle. I think his mic skills, mat skills, and his once in a while high risk moves, can make him a true star, and even the number one wrestler ever. And those gold medals don't hurt.
