Not possible. Wrestling has been different things in different eras. I don't think you can even do a fair comparison between (say) Lou Thesz and Antonio Inoki, because they had their primes in different periods. Once you start trying to look at guys even further apart in time the comparisons go from unfair to meaningless.

THE FACE OF THE WWE

To be an all-time great wrestler is to be a real superstar, not just in terms of success but in terms of the overall logic of his actions. Which is to say, people who granted prestige to everything around them simply because of their passion and killer instinct making their feuds seem to be a big deal.

By this criteria the top 10 greatest of all time are:

1. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - for forming wrestling itself.
2. Sting - for forming the idea of a hero.
3. Undertaker - for forming the idea of a top star.
4. Ric Flair - for forming the idea of a Champion.
5. Goldberg - for forming the idea of a winner.
6. Andre the Giant - for forming the idea of power.
7. Hulk Hogan - for forming the idea of a leader.
8. Randy Savage - for forming the idea of a character.
9. The Rock - for forming the idea of stardom.
10. Scott Hall - for forming the idea of a big angle.

I basically just made this all up, but at least it makes sense. The accomplishments listed are different levels of accomplishment.

No order. Probably wrong, but from what I've seen in my life (34 yo):

Flair
Hart
HBK
Danielson
Kobashi
Nakamura
Benoit
Guerrero
Misawa
Vader or Steamboat. Can't decide. Probably Vader but Steamboat was the fuckin' tits, dude.

The opinions in this thread make me cry.

>>1080964
maybe you should fuck off back to /woo/

>>1080963
Kurt was not an "A+ player". He was never fully given the ball by WWE. Otherwise, really good list.

>>1080983
Stop chucking a tantrum, babby.

>>1080991
On the same token Cena would be A+ player. Just switch him and Kurt and move Steamboat, Sting, and Goldberg down to B+ and you're pretty much perfect.

>>1080983
uhhh...what's wrong with my list? and why does it anger you?

>>1081004
>>1080964

If you are 34 start acting like a man and make a choice

Vader or steamboat

>>1080995

Cena will be A+ once his career is over- I'd like to see him have a great heel run though, he's had the same character for 10 years. Even Hogan got stale and had to turn. Kurt was a better wrestler though obviously not as big.

>>1081004

Nakamura only became an elite wrestler in the past few, and even then he wasn't the focal point, he literally was Japanese reigns early in his career, and his 3 title reigns were forced on viewers

>>1081011
Yeah but Cena is almost A++, the criteria for A+ is push. That's why Triple H is also A+. Triple H and Hogan might be the only 2 to compete with Cena for that top 3

>>1081011
Can you imagine if Cena turned some night in the next year or two, Roman's music hits and he runs in to save whomever Cena's going apeshit on, he shoves Cena straight outta the ring, and then, instead of following him, tries to one-up him on the brutality

>>1081179

When it comes to pure mic skills, my top 10 would be:
Punk, pie-era Rock, Austin, Jericho, Steiner (ironically), Macho Man (interview wise), Heyman (disregarding athletics), Heenan, Foley, and ... can't decide on number 10

>>1081191

debating between Triple H, Cena, Road Dogg, and Kwik/RTruth (the latter two mainly because of their rapping/entertainment value)

I would agree. Best high spot botch monkey ever. This is a top 10 list for wrestlers though.

>>1083073
>>1083080

In a way though, that was sort of the essence of ECW. They weren't professional wrestlers who had finely crafted their art. They were insane motherfuckers who tried crazy-ass shit. Criticizing an ECW wrestler for botches is like criticizing a toilet for getting shit in it

'Smart', yet doesn't understanding 'working'. To put it like a purfumed ponce - Cena is the best big match dramatist of his generation who can draw an audience in to whatever he is selling.

>Straight up: Cena is a better wrestler and ring psychologist than all the indie darlings WWE currently employs.

>>1085780
Cena still doesn't even fucking know how to sell properly you mook.

You can watch the reacting/not selling and bizarre cartoon antics of a Zayn/Owens and still criticise Cena with a straight face?

>>1085789

Cena is so good at psychology that he insisted on no-selling a spot that almost legitimately killed Ricky Steamboat
