Dear People, i will soon be doing a top 10 wrestlers of all time column and would like to know everyones top 10 wrestlers of all time and the ones that appear the most will be in the column, the wrestlers are up to you and can be anyone from Hogan to Angle from Inoki to Muta. So get your brians working and e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Okay, here's my all-time top 20 list for the UK scene:

_1)Bert Assirati
_2)Billy Joyce
_3)Billy Robinson
_4)George Kidd
=5)Mike Marino
=5)Kendo Nagasaki
_7)Johnny Saint
_8)Marty Jones
_9)Tommy "Jack Dempsey" Moore
10)Tony St Clair
11)Danny Collins
12)Jim Breaks
13)Vic Faulkener
14)Tibor Szakacs
15)Alan Kilby
16)Dynamite Kid
17)Rollerball Rocco
18)Dave 'Fit' Finlay
19)Robbie Brookside
20)Steve Grey

Should add that there were quite a few others (Clay Thompson, Eric Taylor, Albert "Rocky" Wall) whom I didn't include because I don't know enough to be able to place them (suggestions from old-timers appreciated.) Adrian Street, James Mason, Doug Williams, Mal Sanders, Pat Roach and Ernie Riley were also bubbling below the 20.

Various superb overseas wrestlers not included because of their brief stay over here (stand up and be counted: Lou Thesz, Bret & Owen Hart, Satoru "Sammy Lee" Sayama, Akira "Kwick Kick Lee" Maeda, Fuji Yamada, Paul Yvar Martinson, American Dragon)

Also note the conspicuous absence of Daddy, Haystacks, McManus and Pallo. Not an accident or oversight!

This has been asked in many different ways on all the forums and I still find it impossible to draw up a list . I answer it this way:
The best I ever saw-----George Kidd
My all time Fav-----------Adrian Street.

Perm those 2 with about 400 others!!

Keep The Faith, Dusty.

I suppose it comes down to personal opinions, so heres mine in no particular order
Mark Rocco - best entertainment
Alan Dennison - personal fav
Kendo nagasaki - legend and voted wrestler of the millenium
Fit Finlay
Marty Jones
George Kidd
Johnny Saint - two great mat technicians
Dynamite Kid - if he qualifies
Vic faulkner
Bert Royal

With the wealth of wrestling talent in our rings from the 1960's through to the 1990's ( never saw any live shows before the mid-1960's ) it's a very tall order to pick just ten. The more you think about it, the more names appear i your mind's eye. Anyway, here's my top ten, chosen because they made the most positive impact at the shows that I saw:
1. Adrian Street
2. Marty Jones
3. Dave Finlay
4. Mark Rocco
5. John Quinn
6. Johnnie Kincaid
7. Zoltan Boschik
8. Kendo Nagasaki ( would have been higher if I only counted the period before his first sabbatical )
9. Mike Marino.
10. Judo Al Hayes.
To compile a list of only ten means that the following great wrestlers are excluded, amongst others:
Danny Collins, Ritchie Brookes, Johnnie Saint, Doc Dean, Dave Taylor, Albert Wall, Tony St Clair, Wayne Bridges, Geoff Portz and Tibor Szakacs.
I'll stop now before I think of more
