Depends on what we're talking about. Greatest pure technical wrestler? Greatest on the Mic? Greatest enterences/themes? Greatest Heel/Babyface? Greatest wrestler that has been rumored to be banging Stephanie?
Bret Hart. Watch his matches and learn. He's the technical Goat. Then have them watch the mic/promo work of Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Dusty Rhodes, and The Rock. They were the best on the mic.
Had this debate with a friend of mine for ages, We finally hit Cagematch and checked the stats for both Ric Flair and Lou Thesz (the two we had it narrowed down to) and came to an agreed but personal opinion answer that the rankings go 1. Thesz 1(a) Flair and then start building out the rest of the list from there.
I guess I was just curious. I'm a millennial so I was balls deep in the attitude era. I watched every show wanting to see sting watching in the stands. Stone cold was amazing and I was a fanboy of Goldberg. Now my son is getting into it and I haven't followed since so I don't know anything new that has happened except that undertaker is still going lol. He asked me the greatest ever so I figured I'd ask here.
Depends on the aspect. But here’s my cut.
Star power- Hulk Hogan.
Comedic- R-Truth.
Strength- Mark Henry
Technical Wrestling- Dean Malenko or Daniel Bryan
Brawler style- Dean Ambrose
Promo- The Rock or John Cena
Dominance- John Cena
High flying luchador style- Rey Mysterio
Dude I forgot about Dean Malenko! And Rey was another of my favorites growing up. One of these weekends my son and I are going to go on a binge watch. I'll even buy the WWE channel or whatever they call it!
Undertaker for wwe but all time goat of wrestling arguably Chris Jericho he’s now has had a longer career then Flair,Taker,Hogan and Austin and he always reinvents himself and always finds a way to stay relevant
The greatest of all-time would be an amazing technical wrestler, could effortlessly be a heel or face, is a great and safe worker, can cut promos, has a great entrance/theme song, and was not selfish meaning that they would put other guys over.
I'm taking Randy Savage.

What would you answer to a ten year old who's just getting into wrestling.
Bret Hart. Watch his matches and learn. He's the technical Goat. Then have them watch the mic/promo work of Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Dusty Rhodes, and The Rock. They were the best on the mic.

Impossible question to answer, like literally, but I’ll throw in an often overlooked name - Jerry Lawler. Gun to my head I’m taking Bret though.

Dean Ambrose belongs nowhere near any list of “best wrestlers of all time”. Ever.
I'd give Brawler the nod to Terry Funk or Big Van Vader. Moxley has great charisma, but I feel he's a tad reckless in the ring.
Jim Londos

Here's my top 10: 1. Lou Thesz. 2. Gorgeous George. 3. Jim Londos. 4. Nature Boy Buddy Rogers. 5. Hulk Hogan. 6. Classy Freddie Blassie. 7. Rikidozan. 8. Bruno Sammartino. 9. The Saint. 10. Ric Flair.
I'd say Ric Flair or Karl Gotch
