yeah how could I forget HBK and Punk, both very good on the mic.

Arn was decent on the mic, but he never really got the time to shine as much on the mic as he could have since he was with Flair so much.

Now Arn's spinebuster is one of my favorite moves of all time. It was a thing of beauty. I did not know he was the same age as Sting. He looked old to me in the 80s, must have been the bald spot and beard.



He was also one of the best jobbers in the business at the time. The horseman were my favorite wrestling crew of all time.

yeah broke into the business as a jobber back in Georgia.

Best thing that happened to him was having the resemblance to Ole Anderson and thus forming the Minnesota Wrecking Crew.

Arn and Tully were IMO one of the most underrated tag teams of all time. They were brilliant together. So many great matches with the Road Warriors, Midnight Express, and R&R Express.

Keeping it to wrestlers (excluding Heenan, Ventura)

The Rock and Flair are the two that can't be argued. If you're top 5 doesn't have both, it's wrong

Agreed. The thing that separated the Horseman was their ability to job out. Even Flair would job out. It's what separated them from a number of guys. They would do their share of the jump on stuff but when it was time to lock up Mano a mano they would do that also. I will never forget the time that Flair tore Michael Hayes a new asshole on the mic. He read his ass. I think that one is actually on youtube. It was classic.

Ventura began his career as a wrestler. He was pretty good back then. He wasn't always a commentator. He used to be in AWA

Just realized I forgot to include Roddy Piper in my original list.

Hard to do these lists because we always forget someone.
