You guys clearly missed my point. It all depends on how you clarify what best means.

I used dollars earned as an example that without set guidelines you can use whatever you want. We can say so and so is best because of this or that.

Truth is, unlike the women thread, there is far too big of a talent pool of male wrestlers to narrow it down to anything outside of say a top 15 without a specific order.

Lesnar, Cody, Okada, Rollins, Styles, Bryan, Omega, Jericho, Ospreay, Reigns, Orton, Pac, Cole, Keith freaking Lee.

That's not even counting the guys who have been or could still be like Kenta, Nakamura, Balor, etc.

Does it impact your enjoyment of a match knowing how much a wrestler is getting paid? Are the guys on the biggest contracts the only ones you want to watch? Is alleged 700k a year Riddick Moss better than Tomohiro Ishii by any logic?

NOOOOOOO! The point was how is best defined. It was a nonsense response to prove that it is hard narrow it down because what constitutes best. IF, and it's a BIG IF, but IF one were to make the argument that highest paid equals the best, that would mean Brock Lesnar.
