I voted Benoit. Hart-family skills, with a dash of puroresu flavoring thrown in. It doesn't get much better than that. The fact that he's been one of my favorite wrestlers for a good 5 years now doesn't hurt, either.
Although I think overall, Eddie's the very best. Don't get me wrong; all of the guys in the poll are world-class, and probably make up for 4 out of the 5 or 6 best wrestlers in the world today. But like B-T already said, Eddie can work literally any style you can think of (submissions, lucha libre, puroresu, WWE punchkick style, etc) and never fail to look like a million bucks. In terms of storytelling in a match, he's second to none. Benoit comes awfully close, but Eddie's got the edge.
As for Raven, he's entertaining as hell, and probably one of the best overall workers in the NWA right now, but in terms of purist wrestling, he's pretty lackluster. Still, give the man a chair or a microphone, and you've got some damn good stuff.
