    Who is the best wrestler of alltime?

    In your opinion, who do you all think is the best wrestler of alltime? IMO, I think Shawn Michaels is the greatest to ever step foot in the squared circle.

    I guess it all depends on when you grew up... For me, Ric Flair based on his showmanship he had back in the day. Along with Dusty Rhodes.

      The answer depends on so many things. Best pure wrestler? Best performer? Best all-around? Best career?

                    I would say Hulk Hogan as I grew up in that era and it was just crazy when he would come to the ring. After he won his matches he would do poses and play to the crowd for like 10 minutes or longer. He was the reason Wrestling became mainstream. I know their are better pure wrestlers like Ric Flair & Shawn Micheals but I go by the overall impact a wrestler has. That's what I like about wrestling in the 80's the wrestlers seemed bigger than life and Hogan was the biggest of them all at that time.

                      Geez, that's a tough question. As someone stated, it depends on the era you grew up in.And like regular sports, I base it on number of championships (Fixed or not) For me, it's 15-time champion Ric Flair. I started watching wrestling back in 1980, and in his younger days, he had it all-----skills,charisma,and microphone power.

                        Heartbreak Kid. You could throw him in any scenario and he would excel.

                            Gotta say Hulk Hogan. Without him who knows if wrestling would have ever gone to the levels that it did.

                              If we're talking the overall package I have to go with Ric Flair and it's not even close.

                              This is how I would grade Flair in the five big categories:

                              In-ring skills: A-
                              Work rate: A
                              Mic skills: A+
                              Marketability: A
                              Longevity: A+

                              Hogan's in-ring ability and work rate are both a C+ or B- at best which is why I couldn't pick him.
