06/19/12 - By Johnny Reeves - @BlitzWeekly

Mr. Perfect
In the ring: Posthumous WWE Hall of Famer, world champion, and two-time Intercontinental champion.
Appearance: Blue spandex, wavy blonde surfer hair, and a championship belt…yep that’s just about sums up Perfect.
Flare: The slick talking Perfect had a larger than life persona that has kept a fan base enamored with him long after his death in 2003.

Ted DiBiase
In the ring: This guy collected more awards than Beyonce at the Grammys. From King of the Ring to Feud of the Year. DiBiase is a living legend of wrestling excellence.
Appearance: Draped in gold and diamonds not to mention fancy Italian suits.
Flare: He’s the friggin’ Million Dollar Man. The guy had a bodyguard that sat ringside during matches. Now that’s boss.

Andre the Giant
In the ring: As the master of the Double Underhook Suplex and Kneeling Reverse Piledriver the Giant was one of the sports best freakishly large competitors.
Appearance: Well, his last name is “the Giant” so I think that pretty much sums it up.
Flare: His icon voice and feuds will live on forever. Their isn’t a wrestler alive that doesn’t know Andre the Giant.

Rowdy Roddy Piper
In the ring: Pro Wrestling Illustrated 1982’s Most Inspirational Wrestler of the Year played every moment in the ring like a bagpipe at William Wallace parade.
Appearance: A kilt and a smile. The rest of Roddy was all old-fashion ass whippings.
Flare: Hot Rod was a natural at what he did. Fans respected the man and the athlete beyond the character.

Ric Flair
In the ring: With a total of 16 World Championships, the WWE Hall of Fame inductee is as arrogant as ever.
Appearance: Imagine if Liberace could kick your ass. Yep vomited a little in your mouth didn’t ya?
Flare: Woooooo! The Nature Boy is a star that still shines as bright today as he did in
1983.
