Which is the greatest wrestler ever that never gets mentioned as an all time great?

Question

Somebody who doesn't wrestle anymore, and doesn't get the recognition they deserve.

Answer 1

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine: was a very very good wrestler and a good powerhouse and technician

Ted Dibiase Sr.: Possibly the greatest talker of all time and an excellent technician

Jake "The Snake" Roberts: Might of never won a title in WWE but he was a big part of the company throughout the 80's and 90's

Answer 2

Rowdy Roddy Piper - One of the best EVER on the mic. One of the best pure brawlers I've ever seen.  Also had technical skills that he could use, in addition to just brawling.  Played one of the best heels I've ever seen.  Played one of the best FACES I have ever seen.  Do whatever you have to do to watch some old GA. Championship Wrestling segments with Piper doing color commentary, alongside Gordon Solie.  Classic, CLASSIC, stuff.  This guy should be considered right up there with the Hogan's, the Flair's, and the Rhode's as one of the very best of his generation.

Answer 15

One wrestler in particular is Bruno Sammartino. In my opinion he was a great wrestler and he defeated very strong and popular wrestlers back in the day. Also, he was the World Heavyweight Champion for 7 years! That to me is incredible. Some people remember him and still admire him while others don't even have a clue of who he is.
