1. Kurt Angle- Arguably the greatest heel in the history of wrestling and is great in the ring to go with it.
2. Mick Foley- Great characters and a badass in the ring.
3. Jake the Snake- He was somewhat of a childhood hero for me. I loved it when he would throw that giant snake on the wrestler he had just beaten.. He also created the greatest move in wrestling history the DDT.
4. The Nature Boy- enough said.
5. The Rock- Pretty good in the ring and there is noone better on the mic.

Listening to him berate an opponent was as much fun as watching the "Rock Bottom". What was up with the "Peoples elbow" though? I mean come on, all that build up for an elbow to the chest? Give me the "Stunner" any day.
kurt angle is by far the best wrestler to ever step into the squared circle , but i dont think 04wayne meant it like that , in terms of hugeness and popularity you cant go past hogan (old buffoon shouldve retired a decade ago) shawn michaels (still the icon , showstoppa , main event) the undertaker (what can you say about him that hasnt been said already) bret hart (best there is was and ever will be , at least before kurt angle showed up) & the rock (over actor)
Kurt angle is technically the best (most talented and most skilled) professional wrestler, since he was a gold medalist in the olympics (with a 'broken' neck!).
However, in terms of greatness and the impact that they have had on the pro wrestling industry and the popularity with the fans, my list is:
1.Ric Flair
2.Hulk Hogan
3.Stone Cold Steve Austin
4.The Rock
5.Andre the Giant
6.Ultimate Warrior
7.Undertaker
8.Bret Hart
9.Randy Savage
10.Mick Foley
Indeed the Ultimate Warrior isn't dead...and I'd just like to break it to ya, but ol' Warrior wasn't particularly good as far as his wrestling is concerned...it was his gimmick that was sweet.
Gimmick wise...I'd say it would have to be Hogan and Taker would be up there too...there are alot of others who'd be high on the list...far too many to name
Skill wise you cant go past Kurt Angle and Brett Hart
As far as going out of their way and litterally putting their body on the line to entertain the fans...and as far as doing what was best for the business rather than the wallet is concerned...you can't go past... Mick Foley
5. The Rock- Pretty good in the ring and there is noone better on the mic.
I'd have to disagree...the Rock was bloody good I'll give him that...but Chris Jericho is just as good, if not better...and damn if the Mic wars between the Rock and Jericho weren't the best and funniest I've seen in loooong time in wrestling.
pfft....WAS an ultimate warrior fan.
I can gladly say that I stopped watching that crap WELLLLLL before people could look up their careers on the internet.
I don't even know what the hell I'm doing in this thread...I hate wrestling.
And his career pretty much ended at it's peek in the early 90's. Those appearances in 1996 and on WCW in 1998 were a joke.
