I guess should I say pound for pound wrestling functional athlete. Bret Hart at 240 lbs as Juan pointed out was pretty fucking good, probably nowhere near the best, but the man could have matches with anyone and was probably one of the most well rounded guys out there.

Kinda feels like people are going agile big man and not most athletic pound for pound. Kronus, Awesome, Bam Bam, Kane, Undertaker...all fantastic big men, but in terms of PURE athleticism, they could sniff Kurt and Brock's jocks.

Lesnar was gigantic in that match with Punk. Probably the biggest we've seen him in A LONG time, close to 315-320 and was no where close to gassing. It was insane. He really is a freak. Never mind the fact he can do a shooting star press (lol minus wrestlemania botch).

Bulldog gassed out a lot but he held guys up in a suplex for like 10mins.
RVD in ECW prime was prol the bendiest and stretchiest guy though. |

Bulldog gassed between the years of like 1991-1994. I think between about 1995-1997 he was clean-ish, 1991-1994 he was HEAVY into the drugs. 1995-1997 he was in his best condition to wrestle, and he was quick and strong and athletic, but nowhere close to a Brock Lesnar.
RVD's biggest problem is as acrobatic as he is, he lacks a certain intensity. Acrobatics don't nec= fluidity and I think he lacks the fluidity of a Lesnar or Angle. |

Goldberg was an insanely explosive athlete but it didn't translate very much as a wrestler.

Curt Hennig, for a guy who didn't look a bit out of place during the real "steroid era", where pretty much every guy on the roster was HUGE, was ridiculously athletic. Scott Hall can/could do it all for a guy who is legit 6'5/6, 260/270lbs. "Early" Vader could do ridiculous things for a guy that big. Currently love Rollins and how he incorporates his athleticism, walks a nice line between cruiser and heavyweight "styles".

Definitely not big, and definitely not best all time, but I feel Austin Aries deserves a modern-day mention. I may have noticed some point docking on the 'crisp' factor, but I think that's often a result of an inferior opponent. When's he's clean, he's pristine.
