Who are your top 3 of all time? Add as many honorable mentions as you want haha, I'm just curious to know your top 3. I'll add mine in a later post. I always enjoy threads like these.

And remember, if someone's all time favorite is Hornswoggle or something, don't be a dick. Let them like who they want.
Anyways, go for it.

2.MVP-As I Got older I became a Huge Fan of Smackdown back in 2004 then in 2006 when MVP came in I knew he was gonna be a huge star.He wasn't exactly a top wrestler or Anything but he definitely made it up with his personality he was probably one the best heels back when he was around.It's ashame he left,but I'm glad he's still wrestling.
3.Roman Reigns-My Current favorite I know for a fact he's gonna go far.If he keeps improving he'll get there I just know it.There's so much potential in reigns.

Chris Jericho: Before knowing Jericho was in a band, I've always liked him as a performer because he's a helluva entertainer. I consider his entrance to be why I'm such a big fan of him. As a kid, I always used to mumble his song. Always. I'm also a musician, and so is Jericho. He seems like a very nice, and joyful human being. His wrestling ability just makes me respect him even more. Jeff Hardy: I've been a fan of Jeff ever since watching him as a little kid crisscrossed in my room. Everything about him is so magnificent, and hard to replicate. From the entrance, glow paint, face paint, colored hair, risky moves, - whatever, he always grabbed my attention as a child. My favoritism with him has just carried over to present day, regardless of what's happened in his personal life. CM Punk: He's CM ing Punk. There shouldn't be an explanation for him.

Mick Foley Amazing on the mic. His one anti-hardcore promo (dunno what to call it really, but it's the one with the "did giant baba hand you a dozen eggs" line) is my personal favorite ECW promo, and I can't think of many promos that top it. And while I feel he peaked in ECW, he was highly entertaining no matter what persona in WWF. His matches with Undertaker, HHH, and The Rock are some of the greatest matches to take place during the attitude era. Just love me some Mickers.
Brian Pillman This guy managed to be consistently entertaining his entire career, whether it be having to dress up as "The Yellow Dog", or facing Jason The Terrible in Stampede. He was one of the first to popularize the high flying style of wrestling in the US. He managed to live through a car accident that would've killed most, shattered his ankle, and could still put on a great match. He reinvented himself as the Loose Cannon, bringing new life to his character. Great tag team with Steve Austin. And pretty much started the Attitude Era. He had it all, the look, the talent, the mic skills, all the makings of a great wrestler. Why he's not in the HOF is beyond me.
Rob Van Dam What can I say? He's the whole f'n show. Great high flyer, great athlete, great technical wrestler. Simply the best to come out of ECW.

Bret Hart: The guy made me fall in love with this whole thing
CM Punk: There was a time when I would just watch WWE very casually between 2006-2009. Punk made all interested again in 2009 with his feud with Jeff Hardy and then later to lead SES. Smackdown was truly special in those days.
Mr. Perfect: He had everything, in ring skills, charisma etc etc. Truly the whole package.
If I could choose 5 I would say Christian and 1997-2000 The Rick.

I've only been watch wrestling since 2005 and up until around 2012 that was just WWE and TNA. So this is my list:
1. CM Punk - The best all around wrestler ever for me. His mic skills were the best part but in the ring he was no slouch. It was tough to pick between him and #2. 2. Daniel Bryan - The most technically sound wrestler of all time. He has awesome matches and is really underrated mic and speaking abilities wise. 3. Shawn Michaels/John Cena - can't decide between these two. I've always liked Michaels and the same goes for Cena.
Top 5 would include Undertaker and Chris Jericho.

1. Punk, he kept me interested in a very stale product, and never failed to entertain me.
2. Chris Benoit, the best pro wrestler in North American wrestling history.
3. Wade Barrett, has it all from look to ring skill, to mic skill and the NEXUS could have been huge if it wasn't for the cancer known as John Cena
Honorable mentions to, Sandow, Stone Cold and Bray.

#1. The Undertaker: He was/is the heart and soul of the WWE. His loyalty to the WWE during the Attitude Era when people were jumping ship for paychecks is something that I've always respected. His ability in the ring is unparalleled for a man of his size. He had the ability to chain wrestle, brawl, fly through the air....he could literally change his style to match any type of opponent or character change. And he seemingly got better with age. Like Shawn Michaels, some of Undertakers best matches came 2004 - 2010.
#2. Sting: He is essentially "The Undertaker of WCW". His loyalty to WCW was amazing. His dedication to what he believed in is amazing. His ability to go from the colorful and energetic "Surfer Sting", to the dark and malicious "Crow Sting" was a complete character 180 and it really showed his ability and range as an actor. Most guys wouldn't have been able to keep the attention of the audience not speaking or wrestling for a year, but his portrayal of his character was so amazing that he had everyone in the palm of his hand. He was able to change his style and put on great matches with any type of opponent, from Ric Flair, to Vader, to later on in his career in TNA, with guys like Kurt Angle, to Abyss. I both respect and REGRET that he stayed away from WWE for so long, but I understand his reasons. He was worried that his legacy would not be respected after seeing how many of the former WCW wrestlers were treated. Sting has never been about the money, the fame, or being the top guy; he could have gotten way more money and fame if he were in the WWE for the last 14 years instead of TNA. Sting also is one of the best speakers in wrestling. I am so glad that he is finally in WWE.
#3: Shawn Michaels. In my opinion, along with The Undertaker, he is just one of the best all around performers that I've ever seen. It's amazing that in his 2002-2010 run, he was actually a better wrestler than in the first half of his career because he was finally healthy physically AND mentally. His early career was plagued with drug problems, attitude issues, and the inability to act in a professional manner, but he turned is life and his career around and he came back to the WWE and really changed everyones view of him and went out on his own terms. Like Sting and Undertaker; Shawn Michaels had the ability to change their style and essentially work with any type of wrestler (different styles and sizes) to have a great match. Shawn could go with guys like Bret Hart in wrestling classics, he could brawl with guys like Mankind, and he could handle large guys like Vader, Sid and Diesel.
Those are my top 3 of all time.

Shawn Michaels The Rock Bret Hart
If I were to make a top five, ten or whatever this would be the top three every single time....... thre rest of my list though would be really hard to narrow down. Spots 4 and 5 would be a toss up between.
Steve Austin Randy Savage Undertaker Chris Jericho Triple H

Well, you knew who my #1 is going to be.... #1. Ric Flair - those of us who went along for the ride know.... "The Man" took us on a 30+ year journey..... from his early days in the NWA, to his matches w/Steamboat, the World title runs, The Horsemen, the battles with Sting, 1992 WWE, The '92 Rumble, his tearful WCW victory over Vader in '93, his battles with WCW & Bischoff in the late 90's, his triumphant WWE return in 2002, taking on "The Streak" at WrestleMania X-8, his IC Title run in '05, and the awesome retirement match at WrestleMania 24..... the emotional retirement ceremony on RAW the following night..... say what you will - very few (if any) wrestlers have taken us on such a wild & fun ride over the course of 30 years! My signature pretty much sums it all up! #2. Hulk Hogan - anyone who was ever part of a WWF crowd I the late 80's or early 90's & experienced "Hulkamania" certainly understands this.... he invoked something that is sorely missing in today's WWE - passionate adoration from the WWF crowd. His journey was just as epic & fun as Flair's, from the great battles with Andre The Giant, Ultimate Warrior, Earthquake, Slaughter, Macho Man, Boss Man, Dibiase, the list goes on and on.... another fun ride. I'm not ashamed to admit that Hulkamania was a big part of my youth! Side note: getting to meet both of my heroes together last year will truly be one of the things I remember most fondly for the rest of my life! So glad I was able to attend such a special signing & I don't think I'll ever top this one! #3. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - you talk about inspirational wrestlers, this was the guy.... went from a mid-carder in WCW, to a take-no-prisoners main-event rebel in WWF & battling the likes of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon, The Rock, The Undertaker.... He defined "The Attitude Era" & to me - The Monday Night Wars would not have been won by WWE without "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.... it's a shame he didn't wrestler longer, I'd love to see another chapter in his story. Such a great mind for the business, I wish he was still contributing today - WWE has not had the same fire & sizzle since Stone Cold left. Not even close. Honorable Mention: If we're including wrestling personalities - Bobby "The Brain" Heenan needs to be mentioned as one of my all-time favorites. The dude was GOLD every time he had airtime..... very few guys today put the kind of effort out like "The Brain" did every time out, from the promos - to "selling it" in the ring.

It's hard to narrow down, and I'm also gonna keep this to WWE, but my list would probably be..
1. John Cena Like him or hate him, nobody has consistently been able to perform at the level he has for the amount of time he has. From when I first started watching wrestling, Cena has and always will be my favourite. I don't care how many people hate him. He's my favourite wrestler of all time, and it's staying that way.
2. Rey Mysterio I've been amazed by Rey Mysterio since I was a child. The mystery behind the mask always kept me interested in him, as did the stuff he did in the ring. In early 2006, you couldn't help but cheer for him, because he was the everyman. The underdog that everybody doubted. I have a blue Rey Mysterio mask that I got in Spain when I was 7 that I still own to this day.
3. Shawn Michaels For over 20 years, NOBODY performed like Shawn Michaels. Everytime he wrestled, he outdid himself. The fact he was able to return from a broken back and continue to compete at that level is incredible imo. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I did shed a tear when he retired. fite me m8.
Honorable Mentions: Goldberg Chris Jericho Undertaker Triple H Krispen Bret Hart Kurt Angle Steve Williams Stone Cold The Rock Kofi Kingston The Hardy Boyz The Dudleyz Booker T Brock Lesnar Hulk Hogan Ric Flair Shelton Benjamin Mason Ryan Eddie Guerrero Sting Scott Steiner Test Daniel Bryan Dolph Ziggler Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose Scott Hall Kevin Nash Sami Zayn Kevin Owens Adrian Neville Vince McMahon Billy Gunn Road Dogg X-Pac Randy Orton Batista Tyson Kidd Luke Harper Erick Rowan Bray Wyatt Cesaro Billy Kidman Snitsky JBL CM Punk The Usos Miz Trish Stratus Christian Edge William Regal Santino Marella Maven Goldust Big Show Mark Henry RVD Nunzio/Little Guido Ultimo Dragon Lance Storm The Hurricane Roman Reigns
