Wow, The best? I would have to give the nod to Shawn Michaels. But, since I like to follow the youngsters, so I will give honorable mention to HBM V2.0, John Morrison.

I think it is still Shawn Michaels, and even though he is my favourite of all time, I wish it wasn't him anymore.
Until WWE change their policies and look past the bodies of Cena and Batista to guys with real talent, we won't have many more Flairs or Michaels around, ones that can tell a story and get you into a match, rather than rattle off their 3 sig moves and hit their finisher. |

I can still remember Cena powerbombing Angle into the turnbuckle back in 04. Heel Cena was the shit!

John Morrison is decent. CM Punk seems to have limited his arsenal lately.

Yes, Cena displayed the qualities that could elevate him into the Main Event. The type of qualities that the WWE will water down and shove into the gullets of fans everywhere.

Even Cena unleashed and on a good day would not reach Michaels level. Morrison and Punk, on the other hand, if they progress and learn how to sell a story in the ring could have big futures as 'in ring performers'

I'm going to break the mould a little bit and say Edge. Ever since he won the title the first time, I've not seen him in a match that hasn't entertained.
If this was wrestling, not just WWE, I would have to say Kurt Angle. |

I can list a dozen entertaining matches that include Edge. But I still feel that he needs one big match to cement his legacy in wrestling history.

Shelton Benjamin. The guy can have a great match with anybody. His matches with Taker were fantastic.

Chris Benoit. Although lately he's been working a little too stiff.

Edge is the goods. I can agree that he needs one 5 1/2 star classic that will put him up there with the Gods. He has that chance at WM this year. If he can pull off a diamond of a match with HHH, who could deny edge's awesomeness?

Shawn has always been awesome in the ring. Shelton has had some really nice matches in the past and I can never forget his Intercontinental Championship match against Jericho at Backlash. Since WWE is all about PG now they can very well showcase Mr.Benjamin owing to his boyish looks.

I don't think anyone can touch HBM. If I broke it up, I'd have to say that he, Jericho, and Taker are the best older guys, while Morrison, MVP, and Orton are the best newer guys. Yeah, I said Orton. Regardless of what he does or doesn't do outside the ring, when he gets in there is is, as the kids are saying, the goods.

You do have a point. All I wanted to convey is that he can grown on the kids very easily.

I think he could also grow on kids with his crazy athleticism if they really let him do his thing in the ring. A kid watching Shelton Benjamin in a Money in the Bank match might become a fan of his for life.

The Miz has a much sweeter hat than CM Punk, and don't you forget it.

Do the TLC's, the MITB he won and his match with Foley? He just has not had a bad match, or not drawn the reaction he was working in years. Plus, he must have at least 5 years on top to go. I think we are going to see him peak around now.
And yes, his match with Taker at Mania was as 5 stars as it gets as far as i'm concerned. |

I think Edge and Chris Jericho are currently the best characters and the best promo men in the business. I also think they're right in the top 4 or 5 in ring. I don't think they edge out HBM though. Just my opinion.
