Bradley Jay brings you a unique challenge this week, one he flatteringly calls The DeMarco Challenge!

Recently, Greg DeMarco challenged me on Facebook to post pics of my favorite wrestlers for 15 days, no explanation, and challenge other friends to do the same. I have exactly 3 wrestling fanatic friends, so I decided to throw it out to the Chairshot community. I chose to add one and break my sweet 16 into 4 categories. If you’re up to the challenge, post your favorite 15 in the comments, any way you want.

The Territories

4. Jerry The King Lawler

3. Handsome Jimmy Valiant

2. Randy Macho Man Savage

1. Austin Idol is the first guy I remember who blew me away on the mic as well as in the ring. He was the women’s pet and the men’s regret, 250 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal, the master of the Las Vegas Figure Four Leg Lock. He was drawing major crowds long before he was peddling Kayfabe Cocktails.

Tag Teams

4. The Fabulous Ones

3. The Moon Dogs

2. Edge & Christian

1. The Undisputed Era, Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong

I know Bobby Fish & O’Reilly are the originals, but when I look back on some of my favorite NXT matches, they involve Strong & O’Reilly. Their masterpiece against Oney Lorcay & Danny Burch. Their trio with Mustache Mountain. For my money 2018 stands out as UE’s finest work, and that was the year of Strong & O’Reilly.

Old School

4. Shawn Michaels

3. Stone Cold Steve Austin

2. Kurt Angle

1. Big Boss Man

When I think of great mid-card heels, Ray Traylor is the gold standard. Great character. Solid in ring. Could work with anybody, and tough enough that you thought he could actually win a match. Some guys sell the merch & grab the headlines, but wrestling is built on the backs of men like Big Boss Man. He knew he wasn’t making it to the top of the card, but he showed up every day & worked his ass off to put on a good show.

The New School

4. Isaiah Swerve Scott

3. Kairi Sane

2. Aleister Black

1. Tyler Bate has had two legitimate 5 star MOTYs in his career, not including a slew of great tag matches, and he’s only 23 YEARS OLD!!! How does someone get that good that fast? I’ve had twice as long to get half as good at anything, and I’m still not there. In my humble opinion, the Big Strong Boi is the best wrestler on the planet.
