I voted for Bret Hart, he's my all-time favourite. But I think either Shawn Michaels or Undertaker will win as they have both old fans and new fans. 10 years ago, Bret Hart would win if you're surveying smarks.

I voted for Chris Jericho. But it's all relative to the times and to my mood. My go-to-man for sports entertainment is Jericho but that doesn't mean that at times there are others who I enjoy more or even love more. During the Attitude Era I'd say Austin was my favorite even more so than Jericho..but looking BACK on the times I could see differently.

But yeah, I love most of the fellas on that list but def. my go-to-guy is Christopher Wallsof Jericho.

The Rock cuz in my heart he will forever be The People's Champ!

Normally I would say Flair, but since CJ came back, he's been on top of his game, and he's more in my generation... Flair may have started what we all love in the IWC as the total package (NOT LUGER), but Jericho takes it to another level for me... And always has...

I was going to vote Foley, but I think that was just the mark in me. I chose Taker.

It's incredible how well he's made that gimmick work, and how many times he has reinvented himself/adapted in the ring.

Taker, Y2J, Bret, Shawn, HHH, Kurt..... all favourites of mine. But Edge is probably my all-time favourite wrestler so he gets my vote.

...Shawn Michaels.

And it's not even close.

Kurt Angle.

He's in a class of his own when it comes to actual wrestling ability, and he's got great mic skills. The Rock being a close second for the opposite reasons.

I vote for a different wrestler every week when this poll is made.

El Dandy.

...No, Shawn Michaels.

Was Christian really deserving to be put to that list of main event talent? I call shenanigans!

I also voted for the Macho Man Randy Savage. Ohhh yeah snap into a slim jim dig it and be a man Hogan!

1. Owen Hart
2. Razor Ramon/Scott Hall
3. Bret "Hitman" Hart
4. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig
5. "Ravishing" Rick Rude

My all-time favourite Top 5

The Rock, clearly.

My favorite wrestler of all time is The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.

Oh yeah and ANGLE was a close 2nd for me... And DiBiase? Get the the F out...

Hornswoggle should clearly be on that list.

WHO ARE YOU TO DOUBT EL DANDY?

HBK-G.O.A.T.

hbk who could out do shawn on any day hell hes still better than guys half the guys in the back

And not just because he eats tin cans.

Bret Hart. I can always put in a Bret Hart match and watch, and enjoy it.

I have a strange feeling this thread could turn into a Bret v Shawn topic.

Of that list the people who I have watched and never once been bored by them, or been tempted to look away from the screen and go "meh", or change the channel:

Chris Jericho
Eddie Guerrero
Christian
Kurt Angle

Therefore, I vote Kurt Angle.

There are a lot of guys on that list that I can watch every match of and never be bored, but I stayed with Bret Hart because he has been a favorite for longer.

They probably ARE the 2 best of all time, so its only natural.

Really? You think a thread about the greatest wrestler, where two of the most beloved wrestlers on the list have a history that divides their fanbase, might turn into a thread arguing about the two?

...Now that was sarcasm, Noid. Try and learn the difference.

I am just sick of the arguments, they always happen and it has gotten annoying.

Taker.

luckily the 2 people having a discussion are smart and articulate and even more so they are respected members of the forum who people listen and value their opinions.

Predicting it won't help, and is more likely to facilitate it.

I dunno whether to vote for the "Greatest" or my favourite - they are 2 totally different polls btw.

When the "greatest" is discussed your list is pretty much: Hogan, Flair, Austin, Rock, Shawn, Taker, Bret. The rest of the guys (including Kurt and Jericho) on the list have little/no place being mentioned in the "greatest of all time".

As for personal favourite, that can be anybody.

So, as the thread title is "Greatest" but the poll asks for "favourite" I will pick my favourite of the "Greatest".

And that probably goes to Shawn Michaels.

I was a huge Hart mark as a kid but had stopped watching by the time Shawn came to prominance and then got back into wrestling after he retired in 98. However, having watched a lot of the stuff that I missed and having seen his career since he came back I have to hand it to HBK. If Bret had been in WWF/E during late 98 onwards (when I got back into it) I'm sure he would be my go to guy but, he wasn't.

Shawn brings it on every level. His promo work is usually good to amazing, his matches are the same. Looking just at his Mania work you have v Jericho, v Angle, v Taker (twice), v Vince even. Those matches are amongst the very best Mania matches of all time.

As good as his opponents are/were, he was the common denominator.

Ok, I apologize then

The way I see it is that every man listed above has merit and value and I could not even attempt to argue a personal opinion. You can't always help who you love and follow and enjoy so why try...It's not like Norman Smiley or Rob Terry is on the list so whoever people choose is fine by me.

Rock.

Shawn Michaels gets my vote, in my opinion he was the greatest in ring performer to ever step foot in the squared circle. He could put on a great match with almost anyone that he was in the ring with.
