Antonio Inoki is at the top of all greatest wrestler type list. Perhaps the only wrestler, that doesn't need a promo.. All the story is written on the wrestling, and he's the best storyteller amongst other wrestlers who perform it like that. He'd pace the match's wrestling slowly, and often so intense.. you know he's there to beat a guy in a wrestling match, not to entertain you. His arsenal holds looked more painful than most others, because it wasn't applied tidyly. While Bret Hart's firmed to perfection.. his just looked pulled near breaking point. His way of wrestling, is to let the opponent took control for the larger duration of the match, cause a victorious outcome is the only thing that should matter, and like many wrestler of the same type, he took it by bursts of overwhelming explosions, in forms of stiff straights and hard sweeps to the leg, then to the back of the head. It was the most 'well-worth-the wait' thing in wrestling.
The lessons of aestethic values of this sport, and the utmost importance of passion-induced skills, are just two things that a wrestler can expect to be taught when wrestling Shawn Michaels.
The only wrestler that can possibly (and did) outperformed Bret Hart at The Hitman's all time best, The Ironman match at Wrestlemania XII. In my book, that deserves to be considered as one of the greatest achivements of all, in pro wrestling.
Shawn Michaels made his opponents gave the best performance of their career, more times than anybody, except Ric Flair.
He even did it to The Undertaker. That..... is scary.
If pro wrestling doesn't appeal to the sport sense. It was never its job to do so. Its root was entertainment, and therefore pro-wrestling and art can't escape each other, no matter how much their respective adorers wished it to be so.
He is the greatest artist in pro wrestling history, but is that the same thing as being the greatest pro wrestler? I strangely would dislike that.
