In your opinion, who is the greatest wrestler? dead or alive?

It's close for me between Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels. Guess I'll go with Michaels, simply because I've been watching him practically his whole career, and there's quite a bit of "old-school" Flair that I haven't seen yet.

Michaels is still out there every week, at an age when most wrestlers should hang 'em up, putting on phenomenal matches. You can argue that each of the last four years, HBK has been in the match of the year. Add to that the fact that he was better before his back injury, and he gets my vote.

Hart's way up there, but the terms on which he left WWE and his career-ending injuries knock him down a peg. I'd probably put him third.
