Hmmm... They look like a cheap knockoff of demolition to me. i mean, those spikes are obviously fake. :p

Seriously, They were all time greats though. Didn't they hold titles in the wcw as well?

it actually was the other way around. LOD has been around for a long time. demolition came along in the mid 80's and were the cheap knock off

[acealive1]

darth_los, it is obvious from your choices that you are a "WWF/WWE" guy only. There are a lot of people who are in your shoes, they think/assume that the WWF/WWE is basically "the" promotion. However, that definately was not the case in the past. The NWA, National Wrestling Alliance ( back in the day, not now) was the biggest organization in the world, and the most important. The WWF, formally the WWWF, used to be a member of the NWA. Vince's dad broke away from the NWA, and named his own "World Champion", which was Buddy Rogers. But most of the all-time greats, at least in my eyes, would come from the NWA/WCW, not the WWF/WWE.

My answers, to your list:
Heavyweight Champion: Ric Flair, no question. Why do you think he is still around, a regular, at age 60? He is the greatest of all time. Vince respects Flair, and wouldnt have any other 60 year old (except for himself!!) as a regular competitor on his programs.
Intercontinental Champion: Use of this title on your list indicates the WWF/WWE bias. The NWA's US Title would be the compariable, non-WWE title that should be used in concert in this category. This is a tough call, as there were many great champions in both the NWA and WWF that were great champions. Personally, the Macho Man, would get my WWF vote. There are almost too many NWA guys to name them.
Tag Team Champions: As already mentioned by someone else, Demolition was the cheap ripoff of "The Road Warriors", who are the greatest of all time. The Road Warriors were part of a stable called "The Legion of Doom", and were not referred to as their team name, they were The Road Warriors. Later, after the stable disbanded, they were referred to as the LOD, more of a nickname than their official name, which was still the RW's. When they later went to the WWF, they were then called the LOD, with no mention of the RW moniker. As a second place here, I would say the Dudley Boys. Their time in ECW was awesome, as was their time in the WWf/WWE. They did not have the awesome "look" of the RW's, but their championships and overall presense puts them number 2 to me.
Favorite Weirdo: I never did like "weirdo" characters. Does Kevin Sullivan count as a "weirdo"? If so, I choose him. He was great as the bad guy on Championship Wrestling from Florida for many years. As a sidenote, he used to be married to Nancy Benoit.
Greatest Moment: I almost agree with your choice. I would say that WMIII is and of itself is the greatest moment in history. It is the biggest show ever, and probably always will be. I'm sure that pisses Vince off, that 20 years later, he hasnt come close to being able to match WMIII.
Manager: Bobby Heenan, although there are many other great ones. Not too many at all today.
Most Unstopable Force: Not sure exactly what this means, but I would have to say Hulk Hogan. Even thought I did not like him back in the WWF days, he almost never lost, and always "hulked up" to get the win.

Another category to add should be
Best Technical Wrestler: This would refer to who was the best inside the ring, without taking into account their presence as a "character", their interview skills, or anything else. For this, I would say either Ricky Steamboat, or Chris Benoit.

Dont forget that guy Jameson, who had the glasses and used to chew his tie all the time. I think he was a stooge placed in the audience during a Bushwhackers match and The Beverly Brothers (LOL) pulled him out and beat up on him. After that, Jameson was The Bushwhackers manager! :lol:

Can't find any pics...

[mista_mo]

k wait...

wrestling matches are allready thought out ahead of time, and the winner is allready selected....winning a title is mute when you are allready set out to win...

I say none in any, as i hate wrestling.
