Pro wrestlers tough as knives

Ive been a wrestling fan since i was a kid, every monday night i watch raw on the usa network. I know the wwe isnt for everybody but its more popular now then its ever been. My favorite wrestler of all time is stone cold steve austin, his nickname was the rattlesnake, the texas rattlesnake and was knowned in his era as the toughest son of a bitch in the wwe but for 3 quaters of his era it was called the wwf.

Back in the days when wwe was called the wwf they had this other wwf pro wrestler named ken shamrock, before shamrock came to the wwf he was the ulitmate fighting champion in the ufc, this was back in 1995 or 1996 or both. NBC the wwf was saying when he arrived in the spring of 1997 that he was the worlds most dangerous man! Shamrock wrestled in the wwf for alittle over 2 years, he started as a big fan favorite, then he became a bad guy and joined vince mcmahons corperation. In the storyline mcmahon {the owner of the wwe} was called mr mcmahon. There was this one time where mcmahon told ken shamrock that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the droor but the most dangerous. Shamrock in time became a fan favorite again and a couple months later wrestled againest Y2J in his last aperence before returning to the ufc as a trainer to my understanding.

Back in 1996 a pro wrestler named mick foley made his debut in the wwf as mankind. This guy was a hardcore legend. In june of 1998 he had a hell in the cell match with the undertaker and during the match mankind and the undertaker both climbed on top of the cell and undertaker got the upper hand and threw mankind off of the 16 foot cell threw the anounce table! I thought his career was over i didn't even know if he would ever walk again and im sure other wwe fans felt the same, but he got up and climbed back to the top of the cell again and this time undertaker chocked slam mankind threw the top of the cell and landed in the ring with a steel chair bouncing off mankinds face! I remember jim ross saying good god good god will somebody stop the dam match.. enoughs enough. But mankind got up again and kepted going after undertaker and had the upper hand, then mankind got out a bag of thumbtacts and dumped um in center of the ring. Undertaker ended up giving mankind a chokeslam on the tacts. Those tacts are like being stabed by knives that hadda be awful. Anyway undertaker gave mankind the tomestone piledriver and got the 1 2 3 and won the match. Mankind was also knowed as cactus jack and dude love in his other gimics in the sports entertainment storyline. Hes not only as tough as knives but is the toughest hardcore legend of all time not just in the wwe but in pro wrestling history in my opinon.
