HBK, but since that's a boring (but correct) answer.
Second is probably Jericho, overall. |

Watching the Royal Rumble made me ashamed, or proud backwards, of how much slower Show was than Taker. Just saying.

HBK is a given. Juan, I don't know why I yawn when I see Punk hit the tube, and I will reserve any other comments about him due to my extreme bias against him. The Best I've seen outta Punk was when he worked with Morrison during the ECW feud. I also enjoyed his title win against regal, but mainly because of Regal, and Layla. It may sound crazy, but I don't think Edge has peaked. I get the sense that he has just plateaued due to the lack of new blood to work with. Let's see edge working with MOrrison, Kennedy, TBK, Dibiase, and some new kids... YOu will see a new level of excellence outta Mr. Copeland.

I will have to go with the rest of you guys and agree that Shawn Michaels is the best. Like Juan said though thats a given though, I really enjoy Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho as well.

I like HBK a lot, but I feel like his matches have become more cookie-cutter, by the numbers type of matches. Either he gets screwed at the end, or he takes a beating before hitting his usual array of moves (atomic drop, flying forearm and kip up, flying elbow) and then Chin Music for 3.
Jericho seems to mix it up a bit more and his promo work this year has been untouchable. HBK on the mic is still good because the guy just has a natural charisma, but he's simply not as entertaining or funny as he used to be. |

I've never been one of those guys who worships the ground Shawn Michaels walks on, but he is a correct answer. There are personal answers to these sort of questions, and then there are answers that everyone can give to be safe. HBK is the safe answer to the question.
I'd put him and Chris Jericho together as the top two guys in the company, currently. Jericho's re-inventional last year was absolutely brilliant, and if Jericho goes over Ric Flair, Mickey Rourke or Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania this year, I would expect a fucking great 2009 out of him. Edge looked like he reached another level at times last year. Namely during his WrestleMania match with The Undertaker, and his Hell in a Cell stuff. He keeps racking up the World Title victories, too. That being said, I agree that he still needs to have that classic. Not that he hasn't had classics, but he just needs to have that classic. Vincent D'Onofrio is a great actor, with some fantastic performances underneath his belt, but where is that blow-away Oscar worthy one? Edge needs to do a Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight or Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler to really get some attention. I actually think a face turn would do a lot of good for him. Shelton Benjamin is one name that I've seen mentioned, and I've got to agree, his recent stuff has been quite brilliant. The Undertaker obviously liked working with him, and he already has a fanbase going for him. His matches never seem bad, or boring. Some are just better than others. John Morrison is still learning the craft, but he's doing so well, and he's just damn entertaining in there. Here's hoping he turns into something. |

Oh, and William Regal and Jamie Noble. Those two are just fantastic in the ring.

HBK is the man and the man who could get close in future is the legend killer Randy Orton. they could use a short face turn for orton like the time when he first won the world title.
