The best ever sports entertainers would be the biggest draws ever as they clearly entertained so much they drew the most people in therefore you'd have to say Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, Sting, Dusty Rhodes and Gorgeous George.
Though it was strictly called wrestling then I would add arguably the first sports entertainer Gorgeous George.
His entrance music, silly pre-match rituals, fighting with the crowd, perfect blonde hair that would inevitably get ruined every match and of course his outlandish robes make him, if nothing else, the most influential sports entertainer of all time.
Austin. My absolute favorite (since this is just subjective stuff). I still watch all kinds of YT videos that involve him on a weekly basis.
Then: Rock, Hogan, Bryan, Nigel (in ROH), Shinsuke (in NJPW he transcends a language barrier), Tanahashi (in NJPW), and finally The Young Bucks but only in PWG.
