"Nobody's favourite wrestler" - or are they??

[JLM]

Wow, had no recollection of Big Show using the Hog Log. That was also Summer Rae’s “Summer Crush” which Mason Madden currently uses. He says “shout out to Summer Rae!” when he does it. Would definitely be funnier if he shouted “Hog Log!” Seems like something MXM would do as well.

I loved the Hog Log! Instantly took it for my caw finisher when it turned up in the game. He was my favourite WWE wrestler at the time though, so was a sucker for anything Big Show did.

12 pages deep and despite some frankly unbelievable admissions... it still seems Bull Buchanan actually was nobody's favourite wrestler, at any point, ever.

Burchill.  Either with or without the pirate gimmick.

As a kid, the mountie was king. Explains why I watched a lot of due south

Somewhere in a Battleworld far away, a grey and wizened Mountie is still albeit increasingly slowly doing piledriver after piledriver to The Undertaker who continues to sit up in defiance as the ghosts of Al Hays and Sean Mooney piss themselves in disbelief.

Tom must be lurking.

Convincing argument, to be fair!

[SwayWays]

I always like bull to be fair, loved him in the wwe games.. But I genuinely cant remember if he was in them, or I made him. Like Tom said 6'7 and athleticism he should never have had.. Genuinely surprised he didn't do more. Can't remember a single thing he ever said, but lesser men have got to do more, with a lot less.

Yeah Tom did a good job there, I watched it twice??. Also is he dropping the elbow in the ECW arena on that last clip?

He was definitely in No Mercy!

He was fun to play as in No Mercy. That Axe Kick was badass.

I never understood why he changed it so often. The WMD is the only other finisher that's stuck really. Think I heard something about nobody wanting to take the Show Stopper, but someone else can confirm/deny.

If I remember correctly, Show said in an interview once that the Chokeslam was hard on his knees so that's why he changed to the big punch. Would also explain why he tried a bunch of other finishers out too.

I missed this thread, but having a quick scan of the original post (and not reading the 12 pages that followed), I'm just going to say D-Lo Brown.

I was 9/10 in 1997, and those two years that followed were really me at the height of my innocent fandom. I wasn't into anything but WWE/WCW, primarily WWE, and like when I was a much younger kid, I seemed to gravitate towards the IC title and people around that belt. 

D-Lo just had a great energy. I liked the wobbly head, his moves... he just seemed quite dynamic and cool. Plus he was in the orbit of people like Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett and even Val Venis, if I recall, who I really liked too.

Apologies if he's already been said, or if I missed him in the list from the original post.

I remember D’Lo being an absolute favourite of the crowd at Dan Fitch’s first show in 2005. He was in a match against Sheamus and everyone went nuts for him. I definitely remember kids at school doing his head shake as well. I wonder how differently things might have turned out for him if that terrible accident with Droz had never happened.
