Hello everyone, this is a simple experiment. Several of us in the chatbox were wondering, if we polled all of the great citizens here at www.wrestlingforum.com which wrestlers would make up a cumulative TOP TEN of all time?

How it works: list your personal favourite top 10 wrestlers, however you wish to define that. Doesn't have to be WWE-exclusive, but I figure that most of you will gravitate that way so I posted the thread in this section accordingly.

After the top tens are submitted, Oxitron will faithfully add up ALL of the top tens, awarding 10 points for each wrestler's #1 ranking, 9 points for each #2, and so on. All you have to do is provide your list, and Oxitron will do the heavy lifting!

Let me start with my top 10 favourite wrasslers of all time:

1. Chris Jericho
2. Bret Hart
3. Sting
4. Daniel Bryan
5. Undertaker
6. CM Punk
7. Ric Flair
8. Eddie Guerrero
9. Goldberg
10. Owen Hart

3. Eddie Guerrero
4. Randy Orton
5. Sting
6. The Rock
7. CM Punk
8. Minoru Suzuki
9. Mick Foley
10. The Great Muta

Hello here is my list of 10 wrestlers and why.
The order is irrelevant .

1 Gorgeous George. As he was of wrestlers who took wrestling mainstream in America .

2 Antonio Inoki. As he was one of first Japanese wrestler who became a international superstar around the world by having a MMA fight Muhammad Ali .

3 Big Daddy (Shirley Crabtree, Jr ) he was biggest star in the UK and made wrestling mainstream in the UK.

4 Hulk Hogan Hulk Hogan to wrestling to another level through appearances in Rocky 3 and The A-team . He was a part of reason that WWE went worldwide . When people outside wrestling think of a wrestler it usually Hulk Hogan.

5 Brock Lesner Brock broke the mould as became legitimate fighter in UFC thus making who thought that wrestler we fake and could not fight.

6 The Rock He wrestling in to mainstream in the Millennium until now he has that X factor which him multifaceted star of screen and wrestling. A lot of wrestlers tried to transition to make an impact in silver screen , the Rock did.

7 Rey Mysterio He bridged the size gap at the top wrestling . Before him wrestlers of certain size were not considered main title ready , as wrestling companies went with bigger larger guys at the main champion he proved the smaller wrestlers can make it.

8. Rick Flair Rick proved he still relevant from the 1970's to now. Wrestlers still cite him as their inspiration .

9 Shawn Michaels he proved that faster more agile wrestlers were the way forward, rather than big but slow wrestlers .

10 CM Punk He proved that Indy wrestlers had a future in mainstream wrestling. Before him the Indy guys where not highly thought of by mainstream companies, but he changed that. If it wasn't for CM Punk wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, Seth Rawlins , Fin Balor, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Kevin owens etc would not have hit the big time. We might gotten champions who look good but can't have a good match.

Yours

* Bret Hart
* Brock Lesnar
* Goldberg
* Eddie Guerrero
* Vader
* Sting
* The Undertaker
* Stone Cold
* Bryan Danielson
* Shawn Michaels

Man, just ten was far more difficult than i thought as usually i never do top tens. Left out others like Kawada, Punk, Jericho, Warrior, Flair, Angle, Mysterio, Savage, Steamboat, Owen and others. I need to watch more of Hansen/Funk tho, as they could well make future lists.

Fuck that was tough tho.

SEE, THIS IS WHY I NEVER DO FUCKING TOP TENS, DAMMIT :hutz

Not in order:

1 Austin
2 Hall - Without his personal demons Hall could have been the GOAT, incredible mind for the business.
3 Flair
4 Hogan
5 Savage
6 HBK
7 Eddie
8 Arn Anderson - Easily the most underrated promo around, created 4 Horsemen on the fly.
9 Rick Rude
10 HHH

HMs: Foley, Rock, Harts, Perfect, Jericho

2. The Rock
3. AJ Styles
4. Shawn Michaels
5. CM Punk
6. Undertaker
7. Kane
8. Kurt Angle
9. Edge
10. Nakamura

The top five on my list probably get switched around every day between those five names tbh. Hard to put those five in order from most favorite to least.
