Who had the greatest wrestling debut of all time of any wrestler? This might be a tough one as people might not recall a lot of wrestlers debuts, but it might be interesting non the less.

Tell us!

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really remember too many debuts. Y2J is of course one I do remember and I probably do, 'cause it was sweet. I would have to say, that the best debuts came from WCW though. Razor "Scott Hall" Ramon showing up on Saturday Night I believe.....The Ultimate Warrior and Rowdy Roddy Piper showing up on their PPV. Everything back then was so cool and shocking. I also loved Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer's debut.

The Undertaker's debut at Survivor Series one year was cool. Ted Dibiase brought him out, and the crowd was in awe if I remember correctly. Little kids were scared. The adults were like.."Damn, this guy looks impressive." I don't think we had really seen many guys in wrestling up to that point who were both big and powerful as well as having the agility that Taker had. He truly was a phenom in those days.

I loved Ric Flair's debut in WWE also. He came out with the WCW World Title, and I remember thinking that it was a special moment. I was just a kid of course, but now that I look at it, it was such a great storyline to have the great Ric Flair in WWE challenging people you never dreamed of and calling himself the real world champion. It's just too bad that Flair and Hogan didn't meet at Wrestlemania VIII. That would have been fricken awesome!

Oooh, good topic.

I love nothing more than a debuting superstar.

One of the better ones was Tazz to the WWF. For literally months before his debut they would randomly interupt matches or vignettes with the "Beep beep beep" and flash 13. Its was really sweet. Then finally at the Royal Rumble he is the undefeated Kurt Angles opponent and suplexes the hell out of him and slaps on the Tazzmission for the win.

He also has one of the best entrances ever, but thats another story.

Come on, you have to go with Y2J in the WWE. Nuff said.

How about when Undertaker came back after being out 18 months. I believe it was at Judgement day. He comes out in the badass gimmick and chokeslams the hell out of everyone. That was one of my favorite wrestling moments ever.

If I remember correctly, they had some crazy looking vignettes for mankind when he was about to debut. I'm pretty sure it was Foley in a dark room talking crazy and tearing his hair out, but I remember being disturbed by it a bit.

How about when the Bisch debuted in the WWE nobody expected it

Brock's were the best. His invasion of matches just kicked ass.. his triple-powerbomb on Jeff Hardy and others, that was mindblowing. Especially with Heyman screaming "Again! Again!".. and then he actually did it! Just classic.
