Who's the best high flier in WWE at the moment?
Simple question here. For me it's got to be John Morrison. This is because honestly, he's got the ballance of being a high flier just right. To me, Evan Bourne's got ntohing outside of his high risk offence. That's fine, he's very good at it but it does limit him as a performer. On the other hand Justin Gabriel's almost got too much outside his high risk moves to call him a high flier. He flies, but it doesn't make up the core of his offence. Especially when he's in control, when he's just as likely to do a moonsault as he is a takedown transitioned to a submission hold. That leaves him and Rey, and at this stage Morrison's better at high flying than Rey. His spots are more unique, and God damn I hate the 619 at times.
Sin Cara is excluded from discussion (and the poll, obviously) as he's yet to debut and as such it wouldn't be fair to include him when not every WWE fan's watched him perform, and even fewer have seen him go as many times as they have the guys in the poll.

Mistico hands down,but from the list its Sydal
Fair enough. I take it you understand the reasoning behind his exclusion though.
Care to elaborate on that?
Why? Justify your viewpoint please.

John Morrison's more entertaining overall but as a strictly high-flier I'd say Bourne is the best on the list.

Yes because they all suck.:fpalm
In terms of great high spots and perfect excution of fluent highflying moves i'd go with Bourne .
But for the best wrestler it's easily Mysterio .He still one of the best current active wrestlers WWE have at the moment.He proved this at Elimation chamber.I'd only rank Daniel Bryan ahead of him as a better wrestler ,only due to Rey's reoccuring injurys.

They all suck...in terms of high flying. Mysterio has pretty much only got speed now and the others just use top rope finishers.

Bourne, Morrison a close second. Mysterio in his Prime was also amazing.

Why isn't Yoshi Tatsu on this poll? Isn't he suppose to be a high flyer or is he just the Japanese token guy that hasn't had shit to do since he debuted on ECW 2 years ago. I miss the days of Taka Michinoku, Tajiri, Ultimo Dragon, and Jushin Lyger.
I forgot he existed. Same with Trent Baretta, Chavo Gurrerro or any other undercard guy not on the poll.

Had to go with Even Bourne. Love his work as Matt Sydal. He needs a great program to work with WWE though. He has really been under utilized thus far (aside from his injury time).
I would have picked Sin Cara/Mistico if I could as I am very familiar with his CMLL work.

Of course the Miz fan doesn't know talent.
