Top 3 punches
Punching is very essential to a worker's repertoire I think. If you don't have a good believable punch it really ruins the flow of a match.
You can list current guys or oldschool guys. For me it's Shawn Michaels, Terry Funk and Bret Hart. Honorable mentions for Scott Hall. I'd imagine a lot of you will list newer guys and I'm interested to see whose punches you all like? -EDIT- What do you all think goes into good punches?

Stone Cold's punches are the default punches anybody my age use to pretend to throw in school.

You know who has really shitty punches? RVD. |

RVD's punches were AWFUL. Also, Savage's punches were wicked.

Did RVD actually throw punches? All i can remember are the fore arm shots he threw.

What do we all think goes into good punches?
It's hard to say for me. I'm not expecting mma punches, but somehow they need to look tight and it's nice when they look like they actually damage the guy similar to an atomic drop, and not just "filler" punches because they can't think of anything to do. They need to have some menace behind them. |

I love HBK's "pop" he puts in on his punches. Like so perfectly timed it is ridiculous. looks like he's straight decking the dude in the chin, and it smacks so nicely.

Angle's are nice but for some reason they always reminded me of Stone Cold's. I've always liked Austin's punches but I don't know if they're the best, but they were damned good. What I liked about his punches is he sort of punched exactly how you would imagine he would, just wild brawling haymakers.

Have always liked Taker's big overhand rights, or "soupbonez", as Tazz called them. Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, and Benoit's forearm shots were also my faves.

My 3 punchers are
Ken Shamrock The Rock Don "the rock" Muraco It's a proven fact that if you have the word rock in your name or rasslin name you have a punch that is 64% better than regular rasslers. My source for this is the international commission for serious business in pro rasslin. |

Triple H gets a nod from me as well, as does Austin
For me, a good punch has to give me the feeling that whoever is throwing it is reallyrocking back and firing away, and looks like they are really tagging their opponent. Angle and Bret's look quick and stiff, while Taker looks like he is unloading and Benoit's looked vicious. |

Undertaker's are inconsistent. Sometimes they look great, sometimes sloppy.

Yeah Lawler does have badass punches to this day. The crowd reacts to them like they're legit offense.

1. Taker, as Cole says he's the best striker in WWE.
2. Flair, love it when he'd get a guy in a headlock and just hammer on the head. 3. For some controversy, Big Show's WMD. Very, very well done. Worst of all time ... Foley, Hogan, and The Rock. |
