Three names that echo in eternity

One of those people is Stone Cold Steve Austin. He changed how wrestlers acted and what people expected to see. He did not care much about others’ opinions or how he was perceived, he said and did exactly what he wanted. He was a great wrestler as well. A combination that has made him a legend in the sport. But he has a nice side as well, like when he responded to a kid’s imitation of him.

The incredible Hulk Hogan

Another figure that will be remembered is Hulk Hogan. He might be most famous wrestlers, outside of the world of wrestling. He was a good wrestler, but his greatest accomplishment was when he helped make pro-wrestling mainstream. That meant more attention to the league which in turn made sponsors attracted. Many wrestlers could secure their future with deals for ads and commercials.

The ballad of Ric Flair

A man that is hard to forget is Ric Flair. He has been dubbed, by many, “the dirtiest player in the game” for a good reason. This is due to the numerous fights he got in with other wrestlers. But not in the ring, but rather backstage. Something that has resulted in some added drama to the league during the years. Some like that, others think it is ruining the game.

There are so many names that should be on a list like this. It could be hundreds of stories that are worth telling, but we do not have the space or time for that today. One thing you could do, is to take a moment and rank your top three names that you think should not be forgotten. Chances are that it will be so hard to keep it to as few names as three!
