The 100 Best Wrestlers Ever.

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

So, I once did this list, the idea there being to give some type of all around ranking (with in ring work being the most important component, because it is).  This is just a workrate list, bell to bell, meaning if I've only seen one match, you're not on the list.  I'll list no more than 2 promotions for each wrestler.

No Sting?

Dude had over 20 ***1/2 and higher PPV/Clash matches as ranked by Meltzer.

No Sting. Good worker at his best who could have a great match against a better worker. Like Cena. I'd have them both in the next 50 (Cena before Sting).
