Come on now Kurt Angle. He is the most technacle wrestler. He has great mat skills, grapple skills and nice submission moves.

 

[Flair for The Gold]

Okay, I'll give a top ten list a go, but its strictly just for fun, and right off the top of my head. This wouldn't be considered a real top ten until I had reviewed everything.

10-Lance Storm
9-Jumbo Tsuruta
8-Dynamite Kid
7-Antonio Inoki
6-Ric Flair
5-Chris Beniot
4-Jushin Liger
3-Dory Funk Jr.
2-Lou Thesz
1-

And I'll choose and #1 later. Also, Kurt Angle belongs nowhere near this list and anyone who says otherwise really needs a history lesson in wrestling.

 

[Dairydude]

I'd have to give it to either the Dynamite Kid or Chris Benoit
but seen as they are pretty much the same wrestler, it's a tough call


Honorable mention to William Regal. He's not the best, but he's consistently been excellent at the British style of technical wrestling

 

[Beast Of Wrestling]

Kurt Angle
Chris Benoit

Come on now Kurt Angle. He is the most technacle wrestler. He has great mat skills, grapple skills and nice submission moves.

yeah angle definitely one of the greatest,but bret in his prime did have better matches:red_bandana:

Kurt Angle is a great wrestler, but technical? Nah. Just because J.R. called him a good technical wrestler doesn't make him so.

Best technical guys, imo:
Ric Flair
Bret Hart
Fit Finlay
Chris Benoit

 

[youthought]

Benoit and Malenko are the two best I have seen. I didn't really see Flair back in the day

 

[Dairydude]

Flair dosen't strike me as a technical wrestler, and i think people get confused between someone with a submission finisher, and a technical wrestler.

Dean Malenko is a great contender to the title. After all, he is The Man of 1000 Holds

 

[CenaMark54]

Malenko, no one else is really close IMO not even Benoit.

 

[Soulpower]

Dynamite Kid gets little to no love... what a shame.

 

[Conc3pt]

It's between Benoit and Bret Hart. I guess I'd go with Benoit since he had multiple finishers and seems to have a larger move set. I don't consider Flair to be a technical wrestler but if he is, he wins hands down.

 

[Trips V.2]

The reason Flair is a technical wrestler is he used (note the past tense) more holds and submissions. Flair's never had a style that required flying everywhere. He was always ground and pound.

Yeah, he's considered dirty, but that's his gimmick. Technicality was his real game.

Ok I am going with a top ten list and gonna try and be fair even though I don't like some guys.

1. Chris Benoit
2. Ric Flair
3. Bret Hart/Owen Hart (They tie as Owen lived in Bret's shadow for so long but was a tad better imo)
4. Lance Storm
5. Dean Malenko
6.William Regal (Even though it's not the American style)
7.Mr.Perfect
8.Jushin Thunder Linger
9.The Dynamite Kid


Well I could only think of nine off the top of my head. I am stiil with Chris as the best ever period.
