Posted March 5, 20169 yr comment_5731269 I was talking to Childs about this before the Drive By-Truckers show last night. What locker room one what date has the most people on your list. 1997 WCW, 1989 Crockett, 2003 ROH? ect.
March 5, 20169 yr comment_5731270 Probably something like 1987 New Japan. All the UWF guys plus Hashimoto, Choshu. Fujinami, Hase, Koshinaka, Kensuke Sasaki.........Vader as well actually.
March 5, 20169 yr comment_5731277 Mid-to-late-90s WCW probably wins just for the sheer number of wrestlers that appeared on their shows at some point or another. They had most of the old WWF and NWA stars from the 80s who were still around, most of the superstars of the WWF Attitude period before/after their primes, plus whomever they signed away from ECW that month, especially plus tons of luchadores and New Japan guys. I mean, seriously, here's a short list: Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Jushin Liger, Rey Mysterio Jr, AJ Styles, Akira Hokuto, Mick Foley, Randy Savage, Eddie Guerrero, Vader, Bret Hart, La Parka, Terry Funk, Ricky Morton, Bobby Eaton, Sabu, Steven Regal, Dusty Rhodes, Great Muta, Chris Benoit, Arn Anderson, Shinjiro Otani, Barry Windham, La Parka, Hulk Hogan... it truly was a Who's Who of talent, all sandwiched together in less than a decade.
March 5, 20169 yr comment_5731281 A random late 80s date for New Japan sounds right. If we're being loose with defining the NWA, that's also a strong contender in the 85-86 period as you could use some non-GAAP accounting to rope in Crockett, Midsouth and perhaps other. Heh, even All Japan if you want to get tricky right?

Lots of those guys weren't around together though, Aj Styles was never in the locker room with Mick Foley. I am thinking one day, one look in, who would have the most (It still might be late 90s WCW though)
March 6, 20169 yr comment_5731440 For one day, in one building, would co-promotional shows count? The "Bridge of Dream" Tokyo Dome show from 1995 comes to mind, when all the Japanese feds put on one match apiece in the world's most overstuffed supershow. The big Wrestling Summit show from 1990 with Hogan/Hansen would be another one, plus pick-your-favorite WCW/NJPW crossover.
March 6, 20169 yr comment_5731593 More importantly, how was the Drive By Truckers show?Solid, tonight was even better.
March 6, 20169 yr comment_5731739 WCW - 1989, if I had to guess. My list is a little strange, though, being made up of eighties WCW/JCP guys and 90s WWF guys and padded out with modern Joshi and the odd TNA guy.
March 6, 20169 yr comment_5731756 I'm thinking maybe the locker room of Royal Rumble 1991. Or maybe that three-ring world war 3 thing from 1995, the one headlined by Giant and Yetay. Just through sheer numbers it'll be something like that.
March 8, 20169 yr comment_5732191 I was thinking'89 wwf because Harley Barry Tully Arn Randy Hogan Bulldogs I think Garvin Valentine Brett Owen Shawn ;but I guess WCW'97 was pretty good. I'M on a cell sorry bout the sloppiness. I can narrow it down for u. I know it wasn't GWF'91

March 19, 20169 yr comment_5734253 I would probably go with 1990 AJPW Hansen, Kobashi, Kawada, Misawa, Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr., Tenryu, Jumbo, Baba, Destroyer, Taue, Fuchi, Kikuchi, Terry Gordy, Steve Williams, Kroffat, and Dynamite. Plus Andre, Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes for a couple of tours. Thats 20. I doubt they were ever all on the same tour at the same time, but I'd bet at least 15 or so were on the same tour.
March 21, 20169 yr comment_5734640 I've got 21 guys on my list who were in WCW at some point in 1992. There are 6 in my top 20 alone, and that's not including Flair who only just missed the year.
