Alright IWC, let's see it: Rank the Top 10 Technical Wrestlers TODAY

Not just in WWE, but also TNA, ROH and anywhere else. Also, be sure and list guys for their skills today not just resting on their past technical prowess (Angle, Regal, ect....obviously these guys are all time greats, but def. not the best in 2012)


I'll post the general consensus when we've had enough responses



BQ: Top 20 for all the true smarks out there

 

[2K JAY]

Being the best technical wrestler doesn't count for much. I'm just going to do my top 10 wrestlers in the world.

1. Bryan
2. Angle
3. Styles
4. Aries
5. Punk
6. Jericho
7. Del Rio
8. Low-Ki
9. Ziggler
10. Roode

In my opinion.

I would have Punk behind Bryan, Angle is starting to fade a little with age and injuries. Bryan ARies and Punk have been amazing this year just goes to show Talent always rises to the top no matter the size. I personally wouldn't have Del rio in the top 10.

1. Bryan
2. Punk
3. Aries
4. Roode
5. Kenta
6. ziggler
7. Prince Devitt
8. Angle
9. Cena
10 Sheamus

6.Doug Williams

7.Shinsuke Nakamura

8.Naomichi Marufuji

[WWCturbo]

Punk in the top5? Yeah this thread just lost credibility...

 

[Riddle101]

Don't actually watch wrestling outside of WWE and TNA, so i'm only going to post WWE and TNA wrestlers instead.

(1)Daniel Bryan(Best in the world)
(2)Samoa Joe(Yes I said it)
(3)Douglas Williams
(4)CM Punk
(5)AJ Styles
(6)Austin Aries
(7)Magnus
(8)Tyson Kidd
(9)Alberto Del Rio
(10)Robert Roode

I also didn't mention any veterns like Angle, Jericho or Regal but that's because my list is comprised of the current generation of wrestlers only.

 

[Zankman Jack]

This thread may cause some problems, so I am not even gonna try and make a list.
Mostly, because, you know, I can't know who the best are (none of us can, really, IMO).

9.KENTA

10.Katsuhiko Nakajima

I'm not up on todays Japanese wrestling only with Kenta thanks to him working in ROH. Cena is a pretty good worker, his match with Lesnar was excelent and his match with the rock was very good. Sheamus had probably had the match of the year with Bryan at extreme rules. Whats so funny at having Punk at number 2?

Should have just made it WWE only to make things more interesting.

 

[2K JAY]

Saying he doesn't belong means you have no credibility.

MITB with Cena
Night of Champions with HHH
Survivor Series with Del Rio
WM28 with Jericho
Extreme Rules with Jericho
Over The Limit with Bryan
MITB with Bryan

All 4 star+ matches. How exactly does he NOT belong? I am sick of ignorant people on this forum acting like Punk can't wrestle just because he's at the top of WWE. He can wrestle and these matches prove it.

Cena is a pretty good worker, his match with Lesnar was excelent and his match with the rock was very good. Sheamus had probably had the match of the year with Bryan at extreme rules. Whats so funny at having Punk at number 2?

Top 10 Technical Wrestlers today.:cuenca

[krai999]

1.Bryan Danielson
2.Khali
3.Seth Rollins
4.Aries
5.Aj Styles
6.Kenta
7.Prince Deviatt
6.Ziggler

Top 10 Technical Wrestlers today.:cuenca

oooooops sorry :shocked:
i should lay off the weed.

 

[Kling Klang]

I know this guy gets a lot of criticism but imo Davey richards should be on the list.KENTA,low ki are a few others that should be in top ten.

 

[Blacksford]

I won't rank them, simply name ten of my own preference.

Daniel Bryan
Davey Richards
Kurt Angle
Dolph Ziggler
Tyson Kidd
Kyle O'Reilly
Samoa Joe
Munenori Sawa
Eddie Edwards (reluctantly)
Alberto Del Rio (guy can really work a match, even if by WWE standards).

Calling other brilliant wrestlers like Kevin Steen and El Generico "technical wrestlers" is pushing it, as much as I'd love to have included them, and I'm fairly sure Doug Williams isn't actively wrestling anymore. Would also have included Mike Quackenbush but I don't follow his current work much, if at all; he's still amazing in his own right, though.

Also, I think it's a misconception to mix strong style and mat wrestling, which is why guys like Low Ki and most puro wrestlers stayed out - and, admittedly, I don't know a lot of the less mainstream japanese wrestlers to have an opinion on them, but (awesome) guys like Nakamura and Nakajima don't really fit my own definition of "technical wrestler".

 

[Combat Analyst]

1.Bryan Danielson
2.Khali
3.Seth Rollins
4.Aries
5.Aj Styles
6.Kenta
7.Prince Deviatt
6.Ziggler
7.Joe
8.Punk
9.Roode
10.Davey Richards

How the hell is Styles, Rollins, & Khali are in the top 5 over Richards. Khali is just abysmal in the ring. & Rollins & Styles are primarily high-flyers.

 

[hardyorton]

lol at Sheamus and punk is not worthy of top ten status.

My mistake i taught it said best wrestlers right now sorry:cool2

 

[Kling Klang]

My mistake i taught it said best wrestlers right now sorry:cool2

[Jupiter Jack Daniels]

Is this list based on the entire wrestling business or solely WWE?
