Biggest Respect for a Superstar?

Who has received your greatest respect in the WWE. Excluding Vince McMahon for creating it. :P

In my opinion, I must say Kurt Angle. Whether you love him or hate him, his storylines are written (Referring to Booker T/Sharmell story). His in-ring ability seems almost uncomparable, and his microphone skills are 90% realistic... But, other than that, he's just all-around, a terrific athelete. He's also an amazing person outside of WWE and has earned a ton of respect from me.

I respect him: 10/10.

Refresh my mind on the "necrophilla" storyline, please? My mind isn't exactly focusing. :P

Well, first Kane won the Intercontinental Title. Then Eric Bishoff desides to merge the World and Inter. titles (another terrible move). Then Raw Rullet happened and Kane defended his tag titles by himself in a TLC match, which is arguably the best raw match ever. After succesfully winning, HHH came out and told the story of Katey Vick, who died in a car crash, and Kane was driving the car. HHH said they found beer cans on the road near the car and Kane's semen on Katey Vick. HHH then preceded to say to Kane, "Did you knock her while she was alive, or wait until she was dead!". The next RAW showed a video of HHH as Kane at Katie Vick's funeral. It showed "Kane in the casket having sex with the "corpse (which was a inflatable doll) and "Kane" said, "It' true, I really did screw you brains out". And then "Kane throws some goop on the floor.

It's all pretty faigue for me after that.

THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE.....

Bret "The Hitman" Hart

he is my personal favorite wrestler and IMHO, the best wrestler ever to bless us with his presence. he has put on classic match after match.

11/10.

i also agree with anyone who said hbk (i know, being a fan of bret, i should hate him, but he has made raw watchable for me.....except for the hogan stuff). oh and also, without the hitman, would there be an hbk?

Shawn Michaels, RIc Flair, Kurt Angle and Hulk Hogan are top in my list.hbk91

Ahh, I regret being reminded of that whole storyline. It's horrid... Ugh!tripleryan2004

In a particular order:

1. Kurt Angle- The dude came back a neck injury that kept the likes of Rhyno, Edge, and Benoit out for a year (and it took Edge several months after that to get even close to where he was) in 3 months, and he didn't miss a beat in the ring. Though, his neck is in bad shape (perhaps because he didn't get the same surgery as the others) he continues to go out and put on MOTY caliber matches.
2. Sabu- Look at the man's body. Its covered in scars. He had to be hospitalized for 90 some-odd days because his body broke down from his accumulated injuries and he came back and wrestled one of One Night Stand's best matches.
3. Shawn Michaels- It was the respect that he earned from me at Wrestlemania 14, putting on a MOTY caliber performance against Stone Cold, that finally caused me to give him the respect he deserves as a performer (I had Rocker breakup issues, long story). The fact that he came back and has put up MOTY caliber performances each year, despite his age and back issues, is simply amazing. I may be critical of him at times (Rocker-Hart issues), I never stop respecting him.
4. Rob Van Dam- C'mon, you had to expect me to fit RVD in here somewhere. Seriously, RVD is one of the toughest guys in the WWE locker room, but gets no credit for it, especially from management. He was trained alongside Sabu, and has a similar philosophy on injuries, for better or worse. His current injury came as a result of the fact he never took time off to recover a longstanding injury, and he injured it to the point he couldn't walk and needed surgery.
5. Chris Benoit, Rhyno and to a lesser extent Edge and Lita, and anyone else who returned from mahor neck surgery: These guys have all had major neck surgeries, and all come back and competed at a high level. Especially Rhyno and Benoit, as neither one of these guys slowed down, or changed their style in anyway.
6. Paul London: As I described in another thread, Paul London never half-asses a bump. He is constantly giving 110% in the ring regardless if he is performing in front of 400 fans in Philly for Ring of Honor, or is wrestling on a grand PPV stage.
7. Shelton Benjamin: Benjamin's athetic ability and consistent development have become one of the genuine pleasure of wrestling over the last year.

1. Shawn Micheals- for the crap he gets everytime in Canada and for everything he has done for the business.
2. The Hardys- Just for how they evolved the concept of a Ladder match/TLC
3. Christian-same as above/TLC
4. Dudleys- perfecting the ladder match/TLC
   

(1) "The Crippler" Chris Benoit: I probably respect Chris Benoit more than any other wrestler in the WWE/F, I love and respect the fact that he always give 100% to all of his matches. I respect that he is one of those few wrestlers IMHO, that knows how to bring the best out of any opponent that he wrestles and knows how to make a match that much better. I respect that he has come back from a broken neck, yet he still wrestles like he did before and seems to be giving some of his matches of his career. I respect that he never gave up on his dream of becoming World HW champion, even though he had been in wrestling for 18 years before winning the World HW championship and that many people said he would never become a World HW champion (and of course, he finally did that a Wrestle Mania XX).

(2) "The Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels: I respect him for the staying loyal to the WWE/F, even though so many other WWE/F superstars jumped ship to WCW during the Mid 1990's, he stayed and try to help save a company that help make the superstar he was. I respect him for his Wrestle Mania XIV match, how he went at there gave one of the best matches of the year, even though his back was killing him and he was in major pain. I respect simply for all of the enjoyment and wonderful matches he has given me, I love the fact that HBK is one of those few wrestlers that always try's to have the best match possible ever night and that he always try to be the best wrestler possible IMHO (he gives 100%).

(3) "Stone Cold" Steve Austin: I respect for helping to lift the WWE/F out of near bankruptcy and being able to bring the company to even greater success than it had ever seen before. I respect him from coming back from all of his back, knee and neck over the years and continue to entertain his fans. I respect him for him being the wrestler that showed me the greatest of the WWE/F and I respect him for making me a fan of wrestling and WWE/F.

Also, I have to mention the respect I have for Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Mic Foley, Kurt Angle, RVD, Shane-o-Mac and Ric Flair for all of the obvious reasons.

Mick Foley- He sacrificed his body

HBK-... He's great

"Late" has no meaning on Friday night.

Who has received your greatest respect in the WWE. Excluding Vince McMahon for creating it. :P

In my opinion, I must say Kurt Angle. Whether you love him or hate him, his storylines are written (Referring to Booker T/Sharmell story). His in-ring ability seems almost uncomparable, and his microphone skills are 90% realistic... But, other than that, he's just all-around, a terrific athelete. He's also an amazing person outside of WWE and has earned a ton of respect from me.

I respect him: 10/10.

tripleryan2004
