Rah Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Having read KillSteve's thead over on WKO, I've realised I'm in a very similar position to him. Trying to form some semblance of a list has been a daunting process for me - I think not only because there is just so much wrestling out there but also I want it to accurately represent my true feelings which seem to be, at this point, far too fluid to cement a best of. Compartmentalizing things and looking at "categories" individually has allowed me to remove some of that stress and make easier comparisons between wrestlers as I'm judging them by the same metrics. I realise a few of these categories are slightly disingenuous and could be branched out further. Lumping Joshi and NA women's wrestling together is more on my limited experience in both categories than any other malice. This list is far from complete, and I knowingly have a lot more wrestlers to investigate, but at this point in my fandom I'd go like this (in no order): Mexico Negro Casas Satanico Sangre Chicana EHD Santo Virus Mexican Matwork Virus Blue Panther Negro Navarro EHD Santo ? Mexican Brawling Pirata Morgan Sangre Chicana Perro Aguayo Satanico Black Terry Shootstyle Tamura Han Ishikawa Carl Greco Ikeda North American Big Leagues (WCW/WWE - non-women) Barry Windham Rey Mysterio John Cena Cesaro Daniel Bryan Japan (Non-Shoot/Joshi) Kawada Jun Akiyama Hashimoto Fujinami Minoru Suzuki (?) Women's Wrestling Sasha Banks Aja Kong Asuka? Satomura? ? 2000s-Present Indies Necro Butcher Low Ki Samoa Joe (have not seen the majority of his WWE work so I've added him here) Kyle Matthews Super Dragon North Americans - Other Terry Funk Hans Schmidt Stan Hansen Bockwinkel Ric Flair?
