No doubt.....Funk, he has had almost the best matches ever that were in Hardcore Rules....he might not be the best technical wrestler, but he could sure as hell set himself on fire and do a moonsault off the top of a ladder
Actually, thats the thing, he WAS a technical wrestler, for the better part of his career. Former NWA world champion, could mat wrestle like crazy. He honestly didn't start doing the hardcore stuff until the last decade of his career, but he was so innovative and good at it, so its kind of a toss up.
