Angle by far. When he was at his peak he was the absolute best wrestler in the world having countless 5*classics and meanwhile still had the charisma and mic skills. Tbh. I'd probably rank him in the top 3 of the greatest ever.

The most annoying thing is, if it wasn't for Goldberg we probably would have seen it after WCW folded. Bret has always intended to go back to WWF after he made some money in WCW. I'm not sure if that would have changed with Owen's death though. It's a big shame we never got Owen vs Angle and Owen vs Jericho too.

And Jericho said Owen was one of his dream opponents (along with HBK I think). Was gutted he never got to face him. In his book he has a drawing he did when he was 10 of himself and Owen as tag team champions.

Jericho/Owen would have been amazing. They probably would have made a good team, too.

I thought he didn't even bury the hatchet with Vince until 2005ish, let alone Shawn.

No obviously not, but I find it hard to believe Bret wanted to return to WWE at some point less than 2 years after the screwjob.

Jericho/Owen would have been amazing. They probably would have made a good team, too. I remember reading in Bret's book that he was backstage for a WWF house show in '98 or '99 and Rocky told him to come back. HBK was gone and Austin and Taker were keeping the locker room in check by that point and Bret told him something like it wasn't going to happen. Even if Owen didn't pass away I don't think he would have come back to wrestle if he was healthy. He possibly could have made an appearance in the WWE much sooner than he did but I doubt he would have returned to wrestle unless it was a squash match against Vince like at WM26. His passion for the business seemed to die in Montreal and his time in WCW killed any possibility of it coming back.

I will always agree that Brets passion for the business got a SERIOUS knock in Montreal.
I think he was emotionally wounded and was unwilling to fight for the angles etc like he was in WWF.plus I genuinely dont feel he was ready for the politically charged atmosphere he was entering and the serious political enemies he had in Hall,Nash & of course Hogan.
Hogan was said to be a big part of the checquebook opening for Bret but I will always feel that was only so Hogan could defeat him in a program.this is the man that wanted Yokozuna signed so he could avenge his loss at KOTR 93 after all.

Kurt Angle by a slight margin, but if we're looking at recent years, Jericho would win.

He wanted Yoko signed to WCW? he approached Bischoff about it but even Eric seen it was totally unfeasible because Yoko wasnt getting a licence to wrestle anwhere because of his HUGE weight gain.
