Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 30, 2025 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2025 Inspired by a discussion on the last episode of the Working A Reslo podcast, in which they talk about the career of Marty Jones, and who he has shared a ring with.

Paid Members 2Xtreme_lives Posted June 30, 2025 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2025 Sean Waltman comes to me straight away purely because he's wrestled in most places. After the passing of Sabu I watched a match of him and Sabu back in 1993 together and didn't realise that could have been a thing Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 30, 2025 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2025 Bryan Danielson vs Kamala and Ospreay vs Vader are two that come to mind as just being out there. Quote
The Dart Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 Bryan Danielson has to have one of the most varied list of opponents for a "modern" wrestler I'd imagine. From every big star of WWE and AEW and then the not so big stars of WWE and AEW to the variety of opponents that came from being in WWE developmental in the early 00s, to every big name in Japan, to all the big stars of Ring of Honor in the mid 00s, to big UK indy names to several lengthy UK tours with All Star and the European indies and then all over the US indies. Some of the names outside of the expected indy/Japan names and typical ones from WWE and AEW: The Mean Street Posse Jerry Lynn Spike Dudley Umaga Sean O'Haire James Mason PN Neuz Dean 2 Xtreme X-Pac Flatliner Jimmy Wang Yang Kamala Billy Kidman Finn Balor Necro Butcher Antonio (from the Heart Throbs) El Phantasmo PCO Rene Dupree Gangrel Johnny Saint D-Lo Brown Sylvan Grenier Wade Fitzgerald Aleister Black Johnny Moss Savio Vega Shelton Benjamin Quote
Chili Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 It's too hot for me to think, but I do love that Scott Hall worked against Superstar Billy Graham. It just feels like such a niche generational cross stream with the guy who ended a world title reign of Bruno Sammartino and a founding member of the nWo. Quote
RedTwoster Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) Jeff Jarrett has to be the person to beat here, surely - with opponents including: Hangman Page The Outrunners Eddie Kingston Bryan Danielson Elias Brian Pillman Jr Dr Wagner Jr Rockstar Spud Ken Anderson Crimson Hulk Hogan Monty Brown Shark Boy Dory Funk Jr Ken Shamrock Jimmy Snuka Nathan Jones Crowbar Rey Mysterio Chyna David Arquette Hector Garza Bret Hart Kurt Angle Norman Smiley Ric Flair Jacqueline Edge Triple H Doink Rick Martel Bob Backlund Austin Idol Bill Dundee Kane Giant Gonzalez Moondog Spot Big Bossman Doug & Eddie Gilbert EDIT: Sorry for the weird line spacing, my phone isn’t really playing ball today) Edited June 30, 2025 by RedTwoster Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 30, 2025 Author Paid Members Posted June 30, 2025 Jarrett is really up there as someone to play "Six Degrees Of Separation" with, for sure. On a similar note, on one end of the spectrum Jerry Lawler has wrestled Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and on the other end he's teamed with Lou Thesz. He also wrestled Eddie Marlin, Jerry Jarrett, and Jeff Jarrett, so three generations of the same family - I'm sure others can boast of the same, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Quote

Infinity Land Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 As mentioned PN News aka Cannonball Grizzly aka American Avalanche is a pretty good one for his random career. Only started in 1987 and had singles matches with Inoki, Fujinami, and tags with Fujiwara, and Choshu. Vader and Gunther. Fit Finlay and Dave Finlay Jr. Danielson and Jay White. Ric and David Flair. Austin. Plenty of genuine stars and randoms. Quote
RedTwoster Posted June 30, 2025 Posted June 30, 2025 Actually, never mind Jeff Jarrett - the Brooklyn Brawler has wrestled quite the assortment of wrestlers. He’s faced: Bruno Sammartino, The Rock, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Ryback, Jerry Lawler, Ezekiel Jackson, The Great Khali, Kurt Angle, Vito (in his dress), Ron Waterman, Shawn Michaels, Jimmy Snuka, Scott D’Amore, Flash Funk, Bobo Brazil, Doink the Clown (while also occasionally wrestling as Doink the Clown…), The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Tatanka, Mabel, Kevin Nash, Kamala, Pat Patterson, Tonga Kid, David Schultz and Mr Fuji among many, many others.

Raven/Scott Levy is an interesting one given the amount of places he worked and how long he worked.
