If the Commission wins at least two matches, the Commission will get to name the stipulation on a MPW Tag Title Match against Kobra Kai in July. If Kobra Kai wins a majority, they determine the stipulation. http://www.metrowrestling.com/store/

I was asked by Mr. Kelley to come up w a top 10 list of living wrestlers I’d like to see in STL.

I based my list on who I would want, if putting on a wrestling speaking engagement/ seminar. How each based on their era’s, region, and who they wrestled for and who they competed against. What all we could learn about the business they flourished in. IN NO WAY IS THIS MY TOP TEN LIST OF FAVORITE WRESTLERS.

10. Wendi Richter – wasn’t the first women’s champ, but was the first “face of Women’s wrestling” promoted heavily. She was so popular, and a hit with the audience she had music icon Cyndi Lauper backing her at Mania and was a featured character on the WWF 80’s cartoon.

9. Mil Mascaras – a world renowned wrestler from Mexico that is mybe the greatest luchador in history. He’s God like in Mexico.

8. Jushin Liger– innovator of moves that are used in every match now that most don’t even think about.

7. Bruno Sanmartino– before my time, but what a legend this Guy carries with him. Just look at his title reigns. Spectacular, and could never be duplicated again, ever.

6. Dusty Rhodes– the “son of a plumber” didn’t have the body of a God. But he used his God given ability to entertain all that paid to see him, and hear him!

5. Kevin Von Erich– imagine being a Von Erich in Texas during their reign. He and his brothers owned that state.

4. Jerry Lawler – where do I begin? Started out as a fan when a child. Fast forward years later, he’s not only “the king” of Memphis, but on national TV feuding with a Hollywood star.

3. The Undertaker – once this Guy paid his dues in Texas, and early WCW, he has not looked back. Was given a “Frankenstein” ice cold character that had no personality and turned it into one of the greatest “gimmicks” ever in wrestling.

2. Ric Flair – This Guy is a walking movie reel. He was who he said he was. He walked the walk and could back it up. He ruled the NWA once he was handed the reigns.

1. Hulk Hogan – simply because, he’s Hulk. No one did for the wrestling industry as a whole as he did. He was this larger than life comic book hero to every kid in the 80’s. He was the real life Superman. He has a lot of hater, but just as many fans and followers still to this day. No matter what is said about The Hulkster, he was the posterboy of what wrestling is, was, and should be. The legend of Hulk has been tarnished by tabloids etc of the times, but nothing can change what Hulk Hogan does when the red light is on.
