Note: I will start with 5 and 4, then 3 and 2, and then place #1.
5) Bryan
Bryan is pretty good in the ring. But at 5'8" and 185 lbs, he just isn't big enough to put on an all around wrestling clinic with the larger guys. But he more than makes up for that with a very quick and aggressive style. He can do some sound high flying techiques, mixed with a grounded mat based attack that allow him to excell, despite lack of size. But if you put him with guys his size, he can do it all.
4) Punk
Punk is deceptively strong for his small stature. Unlike Bryan, he can have an all around wrestling match with the larger guys. He is not the best "technical" wrestler, but rather relies on a sort of "Spot Fest" wrestling. However, when it comes to high flying, no current main eventer can do it as great as Punk. He has a fast based attack, with a mixure of kicks, puches, and leaps. But he can also take it to the groud and preform up to par. He is awesome at getting the crowd envolved with emotion.
3) Cody
At 6'2" and 215 lbs, he has just the right size to preform greatly with any opponent. He can go big and use a power based technique, or go small and preform on par with any cruiserweight. Cody is a Division A National Wrestling Champ in real life, and has used that to carry over beautifully inside the WWE ring. He is technicaly sound, methodical, aggressive, agile, greatly conditioned, athletic, and a great seller. He uses a mixture of power and agility that make his wrestling game great to watch. And he is constantly improving himself, and showing hunger to achive greatness.
2) Dolph
Much like Cody, Dolph is a workhorse. He also has a perfect size that allows him to use a power game, and agility at the same time. The combination of the two, power and agility, make him truely a great specimen. If you ask him to wrestle twice on the same PPV, he will do it, and preform to the level to make both matches the best of the night. He is constantly improving on every aspect of his game.
1) Orton
I dont see how this would even be debatable. He is so far and above everybody else when it comes to putting on an entertaining match. When Orton is on the card, you know you are getting a great match. At 6'4" and 235 lbs, anything he does is not only beliveable, no matter who his opponent is, but his matces tell a real in ring story. He mixes power with speed, agility, and a quickness that can be so deceptive, that even a simple cross body slam can ignite a crowd. He knows where and how to hit his spots, and uses them just at the right time to match the flow of the emotion in the crowd. He is extreemly methodical and sound when it comes to striking at just the right time, thus earning the name "The Viper", and will allways end the match in the peak of the emotion. The energy he creates in every arena is second to none as far as telling a true story through his matches. You can allways count on Orton delivering at the big event, and at the big moments. That's what fans ultimatly pay to see.
