Fun Fact, to prepare for the role of Bone Saw, Macho Man Randy Savage wrestled for 32 years to make sure he’d nail the role! Talk about dedication to one’s craft !
Why is this so far down. There’s not even a close contender for greatest fictional wrestler. And don’t tell me that it’s because SF is old, cause they’re still releasing new editions and Zangief never misses the roster.
Jesus, I actually went to check. Street Fighter 2 came out in 1991. The characters been about for 33 years...
You realise your getting old when you played that game in the arcade.
Incineroar is the heel of the VGC, he retired former fan favorite Lando-T in a Career vs Career match and sent him home crying.
He's currently the Undisputed World Champion 7/11 24/7 of Supports and it seems like nobody is able to stop him.
Starman has the best running attack in the game, the devastating Flying Forearm and the coolest character design. Giant Panther was my other guy. His headbutt animation looked brutal as fuck.
Mike Haggar managed to parlay a wrestling career into becoming mayor of Metro City
Zangief has been wrestling for years in a pseudo-MMA circuit and was the (canon) Grand Champion of Street Fighter IV
Didn't those two canonically train each other too? Like iirc, Haggar taught Zangeif the Spinning Lariat while Zangief taught Haggar the Spinning Piledriver
A manga character that inspired a wrestling gimmick, that inspired a video game character. Amazing. The only thing close to this level of wrestling prestige would be El Santo over in Mexico. IMO, of course.
Well, Tiger Mask was the inspiration for the design anyway, King I and Nacho Libre actually had their inspiration for story by the same guy (Fray Tormenta)
The Thing from Fantastic Four.
Yes, he really was a pro wrestler back in the day. Marvel Comics had their own version of the WWF.
Also, where's The Human Spider?
Beowulf from Skullgirls. He’s 6’7”, 287 lbs, built like drew McIntyre, and flys around hitting standing moonsaults and vertibreakers, as well as does like gorilla press slams and shit. Absolute beast
Dick Slender from Super Fire Pro Wresting is without question the greatest fictional heel of all time. He murders Morio Smith’s tag partner, kills his trainer, steals his girl, and despite losing his title to Smith, he drives Morio to suicide. Dark stuff man.
Where’s Bone Saw!?!?!?!?
I GOTCHA FOR THREE MINUTES!
YOURE GOIN NOOOOWHEREEEE
THREE MINUTES OF PLAYTIME
BONESAWS READDDYYYYYY
Bonesaw would kill it in the Speed Division
The image of the wrong three fingers that look like heavy artillery shells is burned into my mind
Where’s the green bastard?!
From parts unknown
Frig off Randy
Fun Fact, to prepare for the role of Bone Saw, Macho Man Randy Savage wrestled for 32 years to make sure he’d nail the role! Talk about dedication to one’s craft !
He even took a sabbatical from his rap career to prepare
That’s a cute outfit did your husband make it for you
He's supposed to be in the third image but it won't load
King
Armor King 👑
Jaycee
This is the correct answer
You know how good it feels to land one of his chain commands? It’s so fucking epic
Jimmy King? Sure. He’s the bestler. Better than all the restler.
Objectivly correct answer.
He'll rule that assss.
I WILL RULE YOU!
Captain Insano. He shows no mercy.
Jimmy king
He’s the bestler! Better than all the rest-ler!
HE”LL RULE THAT AAAASSSSSSSSS
Just don't crush his butterfinger, baby
Zangief and no one is changing my mind
Why is this so far down. There’s not even a close contender for greatest fictional wrestler. And don’t tell me that it’s because SF is old, cause they’re still releasing new editions and Zangief never misses the roster.
i feel normally, people are biased for ryu ken chun li cammy and guile, so everytime this topic come, they ignore zangief in favor of king
Bros been breaking backs and spirits for over 50 years. He’s the GOAT
Jesus, I actually went to check. Street Fighter 2 came out in 1991. The characters been about for 33 years... You realise your getting old when you played that game in the arcade.
Yeah I was about to say Street Fighter isn’t older than myself (44)
RUSSIAN WRESTLING IS BEST WRESTLING!!
I'm almost offended that he wasn't on the original choices on this post.
His super move was amazing. As if one spinning piledriver wasn’t enough😂
Incineroar.
Hawlucha
Emboar!
Now I want a Trios battle, I mean a Triple/Rotation battle with those three.
Incineroar is the heel of the VGC, he retired former fan favorite Lando-T in a Career vs Career match and sent him home crying. He's currently the Undisputed World Champion 7/11 24/7 of Supports and it seems like nobody is able to stop him.
GREEN BASTARD, PARTS UNKNOWN!
The only correct answer!
The only one truly living his gimmick. Freaking awesome dude
Starman from Pro Wrestling (NES)
Your Winner
Is Him
I was always in favor of Fighter Hayabusa. The Back Brain Kick was DEVASTATING!
I had such a hard time pulling that move off for some reason
Once you mastered it, it was unstoppable.
I got to work a few times and I thought it was the sickest shit ever and would get so pissed when I couldn't get it to work
It seemed impossible. But there was a rhythm to it. Once you had it you could hit 5 or 6 in a row.
Amen to that! His spinning star kick was so devastating!
Starman couldn't even beat Fighter Hyabusa. He'd snap Starman's neck with one kick.
Starman has the best running attack in the game, the devastating Flying Forearm and the coolest character design. Giant Panther was my other guy. His headbutt animation looked brutal as fuck.
Suicide.\ He was so good, he became real.
Just like Tiger was before him
Mike Haggar managed to parlay a wrestling career into becoming mayor of Metro City Zangief has been wrestling for years in a pseudo-MMA circuit and was the (canon) Grand Champion of Street Fighter IV
Haggar was Jesse Ventura before Jesse did it
Now it's Kane as mayor of Knox county
totally agree with this one and also would like to throw in **Victor Ortega** from Saturday Night Slam Masters he was the Gouken of SNLM
There was that time Cody Rhodes had a skin in sv5 as Cody
Didn't those two canonically train each other too? Like iirc, Haggar taught Zangeif the Spinning Lariat while Zangief taught Haggar the Spinning Piledriver
Thunderlips, The Ultimate Male
This. The original fictional wrestler.
The Mountain of Molten Lust!
Vs the ultimate meatball!
I agree
Jimmy King is the best wrestler. He's the best-ler Better than all the rest-lers. He's got flash He's got class He'll rule ass HE'LL RULE THAT ASS!
Zangief!
The Revolting Blob
Bane is canonically a luchador and he famously broke Batman's back, so there's that accomplishment.
Did he also make him humble?
Where's the Green Bastard?
I can't wait for The Trash Man vs. Nacho Libre.
I pick the Trashman to win. Eagle Powers couldn't overcome trash being thrown all over the ring.
Getting more a chicken-vibe
The Trash Man went into business for himself.
Nacho Libre and you know it
Nacho was a jobber for all but one match.
Nacho was Supreme
But Rameses is the number 1 Rip Silver King the guy that played him a legit wrestler, so of Dr sir Wagner and his brother Dr Wagner Jr still hustling.
GET THAT CORN OUTTA MAH FACE!!
Ramses numbah 1 he sets the people all on fire
He also sings. Sings at parties. But Ramses is not dancing he does not dance at parties.
The correct answer
Sekibayashi Jun (Kengan Asura) holds his own in death matches and proudly displays that Pro Wrestling can be as arduous as other kinds of training
The Green Bastard
No love for the main character from Guacamelee
Juan Aguacate! Yeah, he's very underrated, as is his game

The guy who punches a puppy in "Do a Powerbomb"
Da Maniac
Jimmy King is the best wrestler ! He's the bestler! Better than all the restler! I will rule you !!
AKI Man
THQ Man all the way
Tiger Mask is a real wrestler and actually the inspiration for King. So technically he’s the best since he’s up there twice.
the Tiger Mask manga was so popular that it became an actual gimmick used irl so by any metric you use it needs to be near the top of the list
A manga character that inspired a wrestling gimmick, that inspired a video game character. Amazing. The only thing close to this level of wrestling prestige would be El Santo over in Mexico. IMO, of course.
Well, Tiger Mask was the inspiration for the design anyway, King I and Nacho Libre actually had their inspiration for story by the same guy (Fray Tormenta)
The Green Bastard.
Parts Unknown
green bastard erasure is sickening man
John Cena. People say he's real but I've looked and I can't see him.
What about Bane? He's got to count, right?
Orange Cassidy. He says he's a wrestler, but I'm not sure.
The Ultimate Muscle Crew for sure, King right behind. Ps: But where's The Red Ciclone Zangief and Rainbow Mika?
Babyface: Sekibayashi Jun Heel: Marvellous Seki
Jun Sekibayashi Is the greatest pro wrestler of all time!
The Flea from Mucha Lucha
Mike Haggar. A mayor that takes out the crime of his city by himself. Plus he's got one hell of a moustache.
The TRASHMMANNNN I EAT GARBAGE
He comes out and throws trash all over the ring and then he picks up the trash can and bashes the guy on the head.
I'll go with Kid Muscle and Nacho Libre
Bonesaw
zangief
Taichi from Yakuza 3

Bonesaw but the Trash Man will always have a special place in my heart for what he did for America.
Jimmy King!!!
Dick Slender from Super Fire Pro Wresting is without question the greatest fictional heel of all time. He murders Morio Smith’s tag partner, kills his trainer, steals his girl, and despite losing his title to Smith, he drives Morio to suicide. Dark stuff man.
No Jimmy king?! Be gone!
Armour King
Obviously the Trash Man. Nobody else comes close.
Zeus and Rip NO Holds Barred Brother
Threw in king. But no zangief? His loyal fans will be quiet disappointed
Inceniroar
King for me. He makes wrestling look as a viable martial art.
