Define what you consider a "Great Wrestler"

I'm sure everyone has an idea as to who a good wrestler is and is not, and that this has been done a few hundred times. I'd like to see what your definition is. Just a more civil post, I presume. Also, who do you consider great wrestlers?

I'll start, I guess.

Great Wrestlers: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, the Rock, Steve Austin, Chis Benoit, Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair.

Now, I'm sure someone is going to start busting out the negative reps as soon as they read 'Hulk H', but here we go...

Great Wrestler:

1. Capable of busting some excellent technical manuevers and get the crowds on their feet.

2. Capable of bringing in large crowds just be the mention of their name, and capable of making people care about their opponent.

The second definition is why I include the like of Hulk, Andre, and the Rock to a list that already includes Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, and Ric Flair. One can be the first definition and not necessarily the second (Dean Malenko, Tully Blanchard, and Chris Benoit to an extent.). One can be the second definition and not necessarily the first (Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, the Undertaker). Only a VERY special handful can manage BOTH (Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, and in due time Christian.)

Anyway, go ahead and give this a go, or flame me if this has been done 9,423,089,123,565,234 times. In that case, I'm sorry.
