The Greatest Characters Of All Time

If you haven't read THIS YET, go and do so. Read it? Good, then we're ready to move on.

This list is The Wrestling Forums' (and hence Pro Wrestling Planets') top twenty-five wrestling characters of all time!


1. Ric Flair


It's interesting to see Ric Flair take the number one spot in this category. His character of a rich, sleezy, better than you loudmouth is undoubtedly good, but is it really better than any of Mick Foleys multiple personalitys? or "The Best In The World At What I Do" Chris Jericho? Or THE UNDERTAKER, who only managed to rank in at number three?

Flair is an unforgettable performer, and the saying goes that the best wrestling characters are simply the persons true personality turned up to eleven but I'm not entirely sure I'd rank him above any of those I mentioned as a character, or Steve Austins' authority baiting, beer drinking red-neck or Eddie Guerreros "if you're not cheating, you're not trying" guise.

That said, the people have spoken and RIC FLAIR is the number one wrestling character of all time!

This is how the rest of the list panned out, all of these placements will factor in to or Greatest of All Time list at the end of the week, so if you agree or disagree with their placement, let us know about it in this forum thread.
