Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2021 Tetsuya Naito always looks pretty cool when he comes out in a suit.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 3, 2021 Moderators Posted February 3, 2021 Big Poppa Pump is cool!
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2021 Kevin Nash as Diesel only slapping hands with fans who were wearing his glove was peak wrestling coolness. Also, Sid's mid-90s fistbump era. Stan Hansen scattering crowds on his way to the ring, the mental blind bastard, is also up there.
SaitoRyo Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Rob Van Dam was (and is) pretty cool and don't you deny it.
The Gaffer Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 I really like Van Dam but you know that if you sit down to smoke a joint with him, you'll have to listen to him go on about The Secret or 5G before long.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2021 I mean, just look at this.
pitseleh Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 No wrestler has ever looked as cool as deathmatch icon Atsushi Onita leisurely making his way to ring and having a smoke, as the Tokyo Dome fans hurl garbage at him. Jon Moxley wishes he could look as good as Onita does here.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2021 God, how was Onita not my first answer. I've watched that video countless times. Pure fucking swagger. Every time you hear old American wrestlers talk about how quiet, subdued and polite Japanese audiences are, remember how riled up Onita can get them without even doing anything. The slow walk, reacting to people throwing stuff at him by sitting down and lighting up, and catching a drink thrown at him then just pouring it over himself anyway. It's all gold. And for a country that has real taboos around littering and public smoking, it's brilliant. Coolest bloke in wrestling, even now.
The Cutting Edge Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Depends to what's cool to some people, but to me Finn Balor- he's got a leather jacket and dresses like a real person would when on TV, good looking with realistic and attainable build, understated charisma and accent, hot wife. ALEISTER BLACK- tattoos, does various martial arts, unique accent, hot wife. The USOS- like Roman, got a swagger, dress well in a streetwear kinda way, come across cool in most video's you see of them.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2021 Forgot Brian Pillman, and also Tully Blanchard. To be fair, it seemed like you had to be cool to be in the Horsemen (barring a couple of exceptions). Was anyone from WoS cool? Nearest I can think of would be Rollerball Rocco, but I don't know if "cool" would be the right word to describe him back then.
SaitoRyo Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Just now, Carbomb said: and also Tully Blanchard Only fair to put Magnum TA in there as well.

They went from being known as LAX to fucking "Proud and Powerful"?! Bloody hell.... Its mad how Shawn Michaels was considered 'cool' in the mid 90's, yet that only goes to show how uncool wrestling and wrestling fans were/are in general. Fucking state of that. No wonder kids were bullied for watching this shite.
Magnum Milano Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Completely piggy backing in @pitseleh's post, but I thought Onita was the coolest fucker on the planet when I watched this match last year. Band aid's taped to his face, leather jacket, cigarette hanging from mouth and swamped by photographers. From 2:35 onwards.
