In terms of in ring ability, who is the greatest pro wrestler of all time?
>>20820074In ring ability doesn't determine the overall greatest pro wrestler of all time though
>>20820074Giulia
>>20820075That is why I specified that parameter in the question.
>>20820074IYO
>>20820074Misawa
>>20820074Hogan. He worked the fans, the marks, the smarks, the other wrestlers, the jews, the dirt sheets, and the journalist. Wrestling is about working, only npcs tjink it's just in the ring maneuvers. Bless, HH
>>20820074The flippiest?Pac
>>20820074Any rating system is going to be the opinion of whoever makes it.Benoit (minus the diving headbutts) is the answer though.
>>20820074Bad Luck Fale
>>20820074in ring ability? will ospreay
Kurt and it's not even close.
>>20821943This. Shouldn’t have taken nearly this long for someone to give this answer.
the real answer is dan severn because he was the real deal. he had zero charisma but was such an incredible fighter that he really didnt need it.
>>20822067The real deal? He pulled out of Brawl for All to avoid getting knocked the fuck out by Bart.
>>20821943kek that partin as far as an actual body of work presented (matches + promos, the actual legacy of a wrestler), nobody comes out ahead of kurt, nobody
Mil Máscaras
>>20820132This unathletic fuck never hit a smooth clean in his life. But he did hit a dumb leg drop that destroyed his back. Lol! Mark.
>>20822077no he pulled out of brawl for all because it was a complete shitshow, as everyone should have done. bart gunn would have had zero chance of beating severn.
>>20820074RVD
>>20820074Ric Flair
>>20820074brock lesnar
>>20821943His TNA work was S+ tier.
>>20822326Sure sure.
>>20822345>"I have no wife, & I must Moonsault"
>>20822349i think its a little hard to deny that brawl for all was a shitshow. they couldnt even keep the rules straight. plus they wanted severn to fight in boxing gloves which he does not do. hes a wrestler, why would he wear boxing gloves?
>>20822424It was a shit show but that's not why Dan pulled out.
>>20822433>they ask a pure legit wrestler to do something that is essentially a boxing match where takedowns are allowed>he refuses>ken shamrock is in the wwf too but he flat out refuses>they push severn to do it anyway>he does the first round against the godfather, wins>realizes what a shitshow it is>realizes that he has nothing to prove by beating any of these guys>realizes that the boxing gloves take away most of his best options>probably thought something along the lines of "damn no wonder shamrock refused to do this shit">refuses to do it again>people are somehow surprised
>>20822446If he was so bad ass why did he have known and documented worked MMA fights with people like Shannon Rich, Brad Kohler and Travis Fulton?
Aj styles the you know what community was onto something

>>20822471Seeing all of that is just depressing, women's wrestling will never be that cool again.
>>20822485It's funny, I enjoyed modern joshi a lot more until I saw the old stuff. Old school joshi just reminds you of how far everything has fallen in the wrestling world.
>>20822492That's one reason why I liked Kagetsu and OG Hazuki. They were at least trying to capture the essence of the old stuff.
>>20822333I was about to say this too. Has to be him, Kurt Angle or Shawn
>>20822499Personally, I think that Meiko and Kana were the last two old school joshis - carrying on the legacy of the old crowd.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx1B35rVcnwKagetsu and Hazuki were two of the best new wave joshis. But then Kagetsu decided she's not actually a joshi and Hazuki has sort of fallen off... kind of had higher hopes for her by this point in her career.
>>20822222Money and miles, bitch. Get a clue.
>>20822463THE GAY COMMUNITY?!!
