Hogan at 23?
I suspect his placing might be a "bit" higher if he were not in rival TNA at the moment.

OTOH, I'm sure Bret is very happy with the placings.

Agreed... How he is not a top 5 is ridiculous.

Hogan is unquestionably #1. The man IS wrestling.

Take Cena and HHH off that list, and you got yourself a good list my friend. Could of put Savage up a little higher though.

You're right about Cena. He's too high...I'd leave HHH in.

HBK is about a million times the worker of anyone else on the list.

Guilty. I mark out on HBK.

I just think he is a worker. Look at the best matches that Bret Hart or Undertaker or at least 10 guys on that list had and I bet The Showstopper was involved.

The Hulkster would disagree. :(

I have heard numerous interviews where top guys in the biz said Mr. Perfect was the best guy they ever wrestled.



We may never see another Curt Hennig.

This is true, the man was truly a marvel that in his prime would have entertained and headlined in any generation. The rarest of talents.

I’ve always believed that Curt was the most well-rounded performer in pro-wrestling.
He maybe wasn’t the best in every category, or even some categories, but he had the most of all the categories combined:

Technical skills
Mic skills
Look
Story telling ability
Character psychology and charisma

Many/most guys excel at one or several, but severely lack the others.
IMO, Curt had the greatest total.

His drawing power and the fact that he PUT wrestling on the map should automatically propel him to #1.

I reckon it's an impossible list to make? Would you have Kurt Angle at 34?
Angle should be in the top 10 easily.

Angle provided credibility to a "fake" sport.
He should be higher on the list, IMO.

Of course the list is retarded... Where is Nikita Koloff... Magnum TA... Sting?!

Basically, if you never worked for Vince, you didn't get on the list.

Randy Orton over Jake Roberts or Kurt Angle?

Come on.
