The Cerebral Assassin
I'm talking in terms of pure wrestling ability. Not promos, not mic skills, not drawing ability, merch sales, etc etc etc. Just based on one thing- wrestling ability. Who was the best pure wreslter that has ever stepped foot in a WWE ring? He or she can be from any era of the WWE.
IMO, I'm torn between Bret Hart and Kurt Angle. On one hand, you have Bret Hart, the Excellence of Execution, the master of the Sharpshooter. Bret was an amazing wrestler with a pure abiltity that was rarely seen before his time. The man could wrestle, and he could carry others. I would have said Hart would have been a shoe-in for this until Angle came around in the WWE in the 90's. Angle, another PHENOMENAL technical wrestler, wows people in almost every match he's in, no matter who he's working with. And yes, he can sure carry matches as well. His intensity in the ring might be the thing that puts him over Hart as my pick, but its definitely close. What do you all think?
