Thor at his best operates on a level Hercules can't match. The two also managed to throw the Earth out of orbit with arm wrestling alone, which is a pretty considerable feat (cue feat dismissal).
And Wonder Woman being stronger than her universe's Hercules meaning that she's stronger than Marvel's Herc is also sketchy at best considering Marvel Herc's feat catalog is way more impressive. And Wonder Woman choking out Herc in JLA/Avengers isn't any sort of proof she'd do the same to Thor, who when push comes to shove, outperforms Hercules.

They never knocked anything out of orbit. It was just narrator hyperbole.She handled him nicely though.
And Hercules and Thor have fought on pretty even terms before. In fact, didn't Herc almost choke out Thor till Thor electrocuted his ass?

How exactly is it hyperbole? I'm more inclined to believe narration than I am characters.
Yes, Diana, who thought Herc raped her mother and was out to whoop some ass got the better against an suspecting Hercules. Good feat, but it doesn't mean Diana > Thor.
Thor wasn't looking for a fight and Hercules was being a dumbass. That's also literally the only time Hercules has ever been attributed to being "slightly better" than Thor. It's obvious an all out Thor would be beyond Hercules at this point.

Also that was a different planet and all they did was break a plateau. It was also a joke sub-story.

Oh and Bloodlusted Thor has broken out of a bloodlusted Hercules' grip before:

So basically, you believe they're exact equals...but Thor's high end feats which clearly display him able to go to levels that Hercules doesn't count and wouldn't change a thing. Makes sense.
