Best wrestler to compete during your lifetime

[Ryan]

So I was just wondering who everyone considers to be the best wrestler to wrestle during their lifetime. It doesn't have to be a main eventer like The Rock. If you happen to think someone like D'Lo Brown or Rikishi are the best wrestlers to wrestle during your time, then say so.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Flair or Steamboat hands down if we are just going on Wrestling.

 

[Chris]

Pure wrestling I think I'd go with Benoit, Flair, Misawa, or Kobashi. If we're including everything, I'll probably say Flair.

 

[Crippler]

Have to go with Steamboat. The guy was so fluent, smooth and everthing he did looked legit.

 

[Tapout]

Well, I'm only 17. So my list will be more recent, but I would have to say Beniot, Edge, Eddie Guerrero and Jericho. As I am a product of that generation.

 

[Heisenberg]

I'm only 16 so my list will also be a bit more recent and I don't think I can really narrow it down to 1 guy so... superstars like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, SCSA, HBK, HHH, Batista, Edge, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho

 

[Andrew]

I'm 24, I'd go with Road Dogg and Rikishi along with Eddie Guerrero, SCSA, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Edge and HBK.

Why did I say Rikishi & Road Dogg, they entertained me and I really enjoyed them as entertainers where the others as wrestlers.

 

[Defiant]

So from 1991-Present, I'd say Chris Benoit. My favourite in-ring performer of all time.

 

[Chriss]

I have more than one.

Road Dogg, HBK, Steamboat, Flair, Benoit, Angle, SCSA, Triple H, Bret Hart and Y2J.

 

[EffectsofRaven]

Misawa, Vader, Chris Benoit, Nigel McGuinness, Kobashi or Raven for me...

I was born in '91 and Misawa's peak was during my youth but I never got to hear about him till I turned 14 but there are so many other greats from my era but if I had to choose, it would be one of those guys.

Yea, I'm talking about all around wrestler meaning you take their mic skills and promos and what not into account.

Personally I'd say Kurt Angle is my number one. When he was in WWE, he killed it. Promos were always hilarious, amazing on the mic, great as both a heel and face and great in the ring. He's still good in TNA, but he was one of my favorites in WWE. Owen Hart was also one that I think was great. He never got as much credit as Bret but he was just as good as Bret on any day. Edge and Sting are two of my favorites and obviously SCSA, The Rock, Foley, all of them get credit just because of what they accomplished during the Attitude Era.

 

[The Cork]

Triple H, as soon as the guy was given the ball he ran with it like no other.

Check the change in that guy from WM14 to WM15, he moulded himself into the top heel in the business and carried the company on his back with the Rock feud, hasnt looked back since.

 

[Slim]

It is a wide range but I'll try to narrow it down.

Purely mic skills: Raven, Jake Roberts, Mick Foley

Purely wrestling skills: Benoit, Angle, Bret, Owen

Total package: Triple H, Undertaker, HBK

 

[Chris]

Triple H, as soon as the guy was given the ball he ran with it like no other.

Check the change in that guy from WM14 to WM15, he moulded himself into the top heel in the business and carried the company on his back with the Rock feud, hasnt looked back since.

So many people give Triple H hell because of how he basically pushed himself into everything starting about 2003 or so, but they always seem to forget just how good he was. 1999-2000 were easily the best years of his career, and he makes a strong case for my favorite of all time just based on those years alone.

 

[HB_Punk]

Overall wrestler I gotta give it to HBK.

On the mic that is a tough one because there are so many, but Foley and Raven come to mind quick.
