Well yeah Kurt Angle's got a pretty good combination of those things but his mic skills are pretty limited. Also, he hasn't really reinvented himself much over the past few years. Just as Sting said on "Sting: Unmasked" a truly great wrestler must find ways to reinvent himself after he's done the same thing for so long. Angle hasn't really changed much in the last few years. And yes he's a magnificent worker but he doesn't have good in-ring chemistry with everybody. Most big names he does but some guys I just don't think he works good matches with. But Angle is definitely one of the better workers in WWE. He works a good heel because he's the guy you love to hate and he doesn't make it too obvious that that is what his purpose is in the first place. He doesn't make it blatantly obvious that he is acting and getting his lines from a script. IMO Christian does make it obvious. For example, the promos I mentioned before where he would just say "problem solver" over and over. He made it way too obvious that they told him backstage to make it a point to emphasize Tomko's nickname. Just a bad actor in my view.
The only wrestler that really pops in my ahead as being TRUE greatness is Raven. Yeah some people say he's a little past his prime but that doesn't make a damn bit a difference, he's still better than anybody on Vince's roster with the exception of Flair who is really past his prime. I also think Chris Sabin has an extremely bright future but it's just going to take him a while to get there. Chris Daniels is also a great competitor. Love that BMS. I can't really comment much on TNA because it's been awhile since I've seen Impact and I don't get to watch ROH, OVW, or any of the other big indy feds. So I guess I would go with Raven as my favorite wrestler that's currently active. He's got all the major tools a truly great wrestler must possess.
