His time is now
Gonna throw out the name, DDP. Diamond Dallas Page. Dude did amazing to become a wrestler as late as he did. Was one of the big stars of WCW during the height of its popularity. That’s not even talking about what he’s done since retiring, helping out people like Scott Hall and Jake Roberts. Dude definitely is someone I think deserves love
I would like to go further back in the annals of history some. But I can't earnestly nominate a lot of dudes just on the basis of... well, ignorance
There are some 60s/70s wrestlers I'd ponder though, like Inoki, Harley Race and Pedro Morales.
His time is now
Cena would be sick. Basically all of the RA era stars are eligible now given their age. That includes Lesnar, Batista, Triple H, Orton, Edge... lots of great options from that period.
I'm very down with that one as well.

A fellow pro-wrestling historian?
The one I'm listening to is 1000 hours from Karl Stern on WhenItWasCool, it's also on the Observer feed. It's pre-1900s mostly, he mostly just reads from newspaper databases so it can get boring and some topic requests he can't find much on but I enjoy it
Any specific wrestling or just a wide vary? Either way, I might be able to help you out. I have been studying European Wrestling as of late with the main focus being on World of Sports and Catch Wrestling Association.
Nah I'm open to anything that's interesting and engaging
Alright. Uh, give me a week or so and I will get you list of Podcast, YouTubers, and more.
I think the best early wrestling documentary is actually "Fall Guys" by Marcus Griffin. It goes into heavy detail on the workings of wrestling from the 1930s and 40s. He got a lot of his information from Jack Pfefer, the man who exposed wrestling as a work to the New York grand jury in the mid-30s.
Semi-related but I recently discovered this movie existed bc people were talking about wrestling movies after the Von Erich one was released. It's phenomenal and on Hoopla, which if any of you delinquents actually have library cards let's you watch for free
This is really good too, isnt there also a book?
There is.
