I'll basically do a count down from 20 to 1, these aren't necessarly the best guys in the buisness, just my 20 most favorite guys in the buisness.

20. Shelton Benjiman
Three weeks ago and everyone on this forum thought that Charlie Haas was the meat and potatos of The Worlds Greatest Team, me included. However, this all changed the Samckdown before the draft when Shelton wrestled Charlie Haas in that gauntlet for a world title shot. Shelton proved himself that day, and since then he's only beated The Game twice. I love his deep arm drags, and his mic skills aren't too bad. I love the deep arm drags, the only thing that's missing is an established finisher, but it looks like they may be setting up the Stingers Splash as one of his staples. I can definitly see this kid moving on up soon.

19. Booker T
At first I thought Booker T was nothing more then a tag team wrestler. I was wrong. Next I didn't think he'd ever go farther then the WCW television championship. I was wrong. Then I didn't think he'd ever be the WCW world champion. I was wrong. Finally, I didn't think he could be the WWE champion. I may be wrong again. I was dissapointed with Bradshaw's main event push (though JBL is doing great) but I thought Booker T's B- Team gimmick might be pretty good for him. He was a stale face, now he's a fresh heel, Booker has range mic skils and wrestling skills. Now all I want is his finisher to go back to the Harlem Hangover.

18. Batista
This kid is the future. In every era of wrestling, there are frindge "hosses" that don't carry the company, but are there to pass the hot potato of the WWE title so that the big names can have something to strive for. Batista is one of those frindge hosses. While Cena, Orton, Benjiman, Guerrero, Benoit, & Jericho are carrying the WWE on there back Batista will always be there like a mini Big Show when all other feuds grow stale to throw a main event run to. Oddly enough Batista needs to get stronger, he can't even power bomb Mic Foley on his on, however that sit down power bomb looks devistating. Plus he just has that look.

17. Rey Mysterio
The single greatest cruiserweight wrestler that I've ever seen, and he only got number 17? Do I smell a size bias? No not at all, however you have to realize I rank these guys by all of there skills. Mysterio got to number 17 based on ring work alone because his mic skills are basically nothing. Also you have to realize that Mysterio is limited by what the WWE wants him to do. They will not allow him to use his whole array of skills during matches and he is still number 17. If you gave me the chice I'd always ask to see a Mysterio match, he's a friggin' acrobat. This is what cruiserweight wrestling is all about, he's the best in the WWE, and he's only at half capacity.

16. Chris Benoit
I really have nothing to say about Chris Benoit, he is simply the best techincal wrestler in the WWE right now. Quite like Mysterio Benoit is here soley based on his ring skils alone. However, Benoit's promos are getting better, what he needs to start doing is to gain a Arn Anderson type persona, being the wrestling genious as you will. He definitly deserves the world belt that he has, it's just hes never going to be amongst the great champions of all time if he doesn start to build a better rap on the mic. Sixteen may seem low to put the World Champ, but he's just not the character, that Triple H, Shawn Michaels, or Eddie Guerrero are, he's like really good vanilla ice cream, it's good, but you can'y help but want to put some hot fudge.
