The best wrestler of all time, in my opinion wold be Lou Thez. Second i believe would be Bruno Sammartino. A lot of the new wrestler's of today, could not hold a candle to the wrestler's of day's gone by.

As for Hulk Hogan, quoted by Lou Thez " Hogan was not a good wrestler, but he was a great performer" Hoigan only had at least 5 moves. The big boot and leg drop, as far as i am concerned was not real wrestling moves. He was also a sore loser, many times over.
Other great wrestlers were Ricky Steamboat, Nick Bockwinkel, Harley Race, Verne Gagne, Billy Robinson, Wahoo McDaniel, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Masked Superstar [Bill Eadie], Mr. Wrestling 1 & 2 [George Woodin aka Tim woods and #2 Johnny Walker.] Dick Steinborn was also a great wrestler.Then you can go back to the day's of Strangler Lewis, so it is a very big question of who is the greatest wrtestler of all time. Each wrestled in their own era.

To be considered the best wrestler ever, you would have to go by their win-loss record. Not by in ring ability. Now Bruno Sammartino was Champion for 7 & 1/2 years undefeated. That record speaks for itself. No one will ever break that record. I repeat No one will ever break that record. His record is May 17, 1963 to to January 18, 1971.
Bret "Hitman" Hart was the best there is , the best there was and the best that there ever will be. Anyone who doesn't think he was a great wrestler doesn't know anything about wrestling and should stick to slapping their friends with halogen lights in their dad's garage.
Special mention for Jake "The Snake" Roberts, not a great wrestler but the man had an exceptional mic talent.
