Top 10 Best Wrestlers in the World Today
Note: Keep in mind to consider ALL aspects of wrestling, and not just pure wrestling skill. Because unless you really mean it in every way, i would like to avoid a bunch of Roh-Bots listing off a bunch of Dragongate, Noah, and ROH wrestlers.
Shawn Michaels Kurt Angle Samoa Joe Gregory Helms Chris Benoit CM Punk Brock Lesnar Colt Cabana Nigel Mcguiness Bryan Danielson (I had to list him, even though he stinks on the mic. When you can consistently go for 60 minute matches again and again, i have to give you props.)

Ok im going to get slated for this but its my opinion on not maybe the best wrestlers but the people I mark for or have respect for...(in no particular order)
John Cena...No matter how much he is rammed down our neck you said consider all aspects of wrestling...well Cena has given the fans a voice again, even if its the wrong voice, wrestling ability not all that good but mic skills are good.
The Miz...yes i know its The Miz but...this guy has been brought in as a heel, he does that job very well. He brings the best out of JBL and IMO he has brightened up Smackdown alot.
Shawn Michaels, he is everything he says he is...simple as.
AJ Styles. future of the industry, very exciting to watch.
Marcus Cor Von/Monty Brown. I love the Pounce and he oozes charisma howere gay that sounds.
CM Punk. once again future champ, and future of the industry.
Jeff Hardy. He botches...so what everyone does, he botches more because he dares to do the shit...wrestlemania is an example.
Undertaker...obvious really. Legend already, wont be long untill its official.
Chris Benoit...Best technical wrestler on the planet PERIOD.
MR. Kennedy...Kennedy. great heel, future champ, same as CM Punk really.
My views my opinions, like i say not really best wrestlers in the world just the ones i mark for (e.g. Miz, Hardy, Punk Kennedy, Styles, Michaels) and have respect for (others i didnt mention there, obviously i have respect for them all aswell lol)

1. Triple H The guy keeps going consistently, and he does his job. When he's a heel you hate him, and I mean fucking hate him. As a face he does a great job too, plus he works his ass off. The best example of that is the Jericho match where he tore his quad and proceeded with the match, even getting put in the Walls. Just a fucking amazing entertainer, and a great worker.
2. Samoa Joe There's really no beating around the bush. An amazing athlete, I love his ROH stuff, I don't think there was a match in his ROH run that I didn't enjoy. Plus, TNA has done him a huge favor and basically made him a star in the business more than he was before.
3. Ric Flair I'm talking about Flair in his prime, now. Nowadays Flair is simply average with his skills, but back in the day the man was a fucking beast. I to this day, love the Steamboat match. He was an amazing technical wrestler, even if he stole the 'Nature Boy' moniker >_>
4. Jushin Thunder Lyger Arguably the best japanese wrestler ever, but once more thats arguably. I know there are more technically gifted japanese guys out there than him, but this guy is just a solid all around worker. He's like HBK, but 10X better. Plus when he pulls out that Kishin Liger, god damn that is the most badass thing I've seen in wrestling. Ever.
5. The Great Muta Once more, great japanese wrestler. His match with Jushin is probably my favorite of all time. He is an amazing worker, and the match with Jushin is what got me into Puro wrestling.
6. Brock Lesnar He had the chance to be the star of this generation before he left for football and ruined his career. When he debuted there was something about him that made me think "holy shit this guy is going to be huge one day". Then within a year he was the champion, and he was as big as ever. He dug his own grave though, it's a shame because the guy could have been amazing. Plus we missed out on lots of matches with him that could have been amazing.
7. Shinsuke Nakamura Ok, so in case you can't tell I have a soft spot for japanese wrestling. I loved his match with Lesnar, and the guy is just a flat out amazing wrestler.
8. Sting Amazing entertainer. He has about averge in-ring skils, but it's just the character of Sting has developed into something so much bigger. He is by no means a phenomenal athlete, but the guy will work his ass off in the ring. Plus like I said, he is entertaining as hell.
And at this point in time I can't think of anymore right now. I might come back and edit it though.

1. Triple H - The guy has always been a fav of mine. He is so resilient (sp?) in the ring. He makes a better heel than most. He has perfected the heel. 2. Chris Jericho - Stand out wrestler and entertainer. I hated him when he ran his mouth about Steph (I love the McMahon family...I wish there was more corruption from owners in e-feds, lol, its pretty entertaining) and yet I still laughed at every single thing that came out of his mouth. When he made his debut I thought he was a dork but I fell in love with him shortly after. 3. Kurt Angle - Intense and entertaining wrestler. He doesn't do anything that puts me to sleep. He can be a terrific face or heel. 4. Brock Lesnar - That dude is a monster. 100% pure talent. Atleast as far as wrestling goes. Mic skills kinda...well, he doesn't have any. I usually am not as impressed with the big, big guys (Big Show for example) because they're too slow and they don't look natural, but Brock really changed that stereotype for me. 5. The Rock - I know it said wrestlers of today, but someone but Flair in his prime so I get to put Rocky. :-) The Rock is amazing. His wrestling style is awesome. I love the way he just goes and goes and goes without stopping. He's also one of the funniest and most entertaining guys on the planet. When he and Stone Cold first had their feud, I was ALL 3:16, but I still found myself cheering for the Rock because he was just amazing. Also, he can work heel and face well. 6. Stone Cold - Not really sure that his wrestling is what he's noted for. But Austin can put a boot in someone and make it look like he's breaking their ribs. I love that. Also, his mic skills are great. He can get a crowd so pumped. I could never find myself impressed with Austin as a heel, though. He definitely belongs in the face division. 7. Chris Benoit - The guy is the best technical wrestler that there is. He needs to be pushed to title belt level, but the WWE is partial to certain performers. They like them either really big or able to cut a fantastic promo or both. Benoit is muscled, but I don't think he is big enough for McMahon's taste, and his mic skills never impressed me. 8. John Cena - I think it was Mak who said Cena didn't have much in the way of wrestling skills but I always found his matched to be pretty entertaining. I think that he definitely has skills in the ring and obviously on the mic. Also, I just saw The Marine and I give him points for that too ;-). 9. Batista - He's big, bad and amazing. He's another big guy that can get in the ring without making it look sloppy. 10. The Dudley Boys - I know its two people but sue me . They're the best tag team. Period. Jeff and Matt are cool for their highflying ability, Edge and Christian worked the mic and the ring pretty well, but the Dudley Boys can go technical, high-flying, and all-out-brawling. They're so easy to get behind and cheer for. They really took the tag team division to a new level!
