Benoit was and always will be the most intense, most pure, and most skilled wrestler of all time.

Kurt Angle is the best wrestler period gold medal easy. Jericho is ok but is definately in the 3rd tier of real wrestler, Kurt being on his own tier and people like Benjamin, Benoit and Haas are second.Flair isnt a real wrestler and micheals has been trained as a wrestler in terms of technical ability but is not at the standard of Benjamin or Haas or Benoit possibly as good as Jericho. God I hate people who rank pro wrestling talent based solely off amatuer background... Haas and Benjamin on Benoit's level?Sorry but no. Maybe on a square blue mat in a random gymnasium. |

First of all your poll is tainted. Everyone is voting based on amature wrestling style.
HBK. He and Benoit are two of the best. I voted HBK but you have to do a few categories.
Mexican style: Benoit
Japanese style: Benoit
Submission: Benoit
Highflying: HBK
mat wrestling: benoit
Hardcore: Michaels
Non-submission: HBK
Getting the crowd into the match: HBK
Overall better matches: HBK
score 5 to 4. The reason why Benoit and Angle are winning has to do because of wording. They are basing it on matt wrestling.
Look at this guys too see a pattern: In Order
1- Kurt Angle(best matt wrestler)
2- Chris Benoit(matt wrestler)
3- Ric Flair(He did matt wrestling and grounding)
4- Chris Jericho (could also be tied at number 3 with Flair)(He does alot of submissions)
5- Shawn Michaels(He does hardly any matt wrestling allthough he has more 5 star matches then Benoit, Angle, and Jericho combined)
Flair has 6
Michaels has 2
Benoit has 1
Angle-0
Jericho-0
according to the wrestling observer.
So either Michaels or Flair have "better Wrestling matches"
"Of course Angle is the best, he won an Olympic Gold Medal (with a broken freakin neck, I might add)" Is my closing just because you won a gold medal doesn't mean you have the best matches. However it would make it extremely likely to be the best mat wrestlers.

For me it would probably have to be HBK. Always delivers as to the other but I find HBK to be more.

Kurt is killer in the promos and i think history speaks for itself in terms of his ability to wrestle professionally. Point is Kurt is the best ever, there is none better than him. |

Mexican style: Benoit Japanese style: Benoit Submission: Benoit Highflying: HBK mat wrestling: benoit Hardcore: Michaels Non-submission: HBK Getting the crowd into the match: HBK Overall better matches: HBK How does HBK have Benoit beat at highflying? It's basically a tie... flying elbow vs. diving headbutt. Same with hardcore. How is 'overall better match' a match style category? Same with 'getting the crowd into the match'? That falls under charisma... |

Chris Benoit hands down. Kurt is a great mat wrestler, but Chris was just the better technician...ya know?
