Honestly, yeah. In ring at his peak he was flawless. Technical like Steamboat but exciting like Austin. I guess He would be the other side of the Shawn Michaels coin. Shawn was more exciting and Bret had better technique. Shawn has the benefit of 10 added years, but I'll still take Bret.

Kurt Angle.

Shawn.

Personal mark for him, and I know it. Loved almost everything he ever did, he knew how to work a crowd if they turned on him, and I think he shined feuding outside a belt.
>>
Seriously, Kurt Angle.

Legit.
GOAT technical wrestler.
Excellent and somehow underrated high flyer.
Great classic look. He's what the average person thinks a wrestler shoukd look like.
Very good talker.
Charismatic as a babyface, but a heat magnet as a heel.

Nevermind in ring, Angle is a worthy GOAT candidates all around.

The only way I can accept Bret as being the best is if the screwjob was a work, because if so, he's got the best damn acting I've ever seen.
>>
>>1337147
I could never get behind him as anything more than a kind of joking babyface. As a heel though, undisputed at getting heat.

LMFAO
Ricky Memeboat was a 10/10 athlete but a very average and boring wrestler, he was just lucky to be in a time when everyone else was more average and boring

The most talented wrestler of all time is obviously a tie between based Bret and Dynamite Kid

Benoit and Hennig closely follow them

I'd say Randy Savage puts on some damn good matches. RVD is another that comes to mind for in-ring.
>>
Kurt Angle and prime Scott Steiner
>>
>>1337428

I came here to post this
>>
>>1336822
i'm going to be contrarian and say Dory Funk Jr.

mother fucker held the NWA title for 5 years straight at some point, defending it 8 times a week going from territory to territory in 60 minute broadways. I have seen only a few of these matches but the mere feat of not dropping the title under this workload is insane.

but for best in ring in terms of being a great wrestler would have to be a triple threat between HBK/Benoit/Angle/Foley/Undertaker depending on your style.

It was Chris Benoit. And it killed him. Nobody was faster, hit harder, had more technical mastery, made it look more real than Benoit. Not even men like Misawa or Kobashi. And the paid the price for it. His family paid the price. The whole industry paid the price.

When he died, wrestling died with him. Hasn't been the same since.

For American wrestlers, these would probably be my guys. I can watch about any of their matches and be entertained*

*with Kurt it's more difficult because the injuries really slowed him down. If Kurt hadn't had the neck problems that kept creeping up ever since he fist broke it competing for a gold medal, as well as the other many injuries, Kurt would probably go down undisputed as GOAT. Kurt was that good. How good he became only in his first few years it takes some guys a decade.

I'd also consider Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, Bret Hart, Curt Hennig to be up there. And when it's said and done, AJ Styles will belong in that class.

No one, wrestling is fake cupcake tiits

HBK.

Come back at me when someone delivers every single year a top notch match at wrestlemania.

As a wrestler he was though
