not a big fan of bret but would be in the top 15 maybe 12th

Bret was always my favourite growing up so that's why I hold him in such high regard. I could understand it though if people said I overated him

i don't think its that , i just think people actually bought into "the best there is, was and the best there ever will be" phrase

people thought he was better then he was .

take a football example: the arsenal invincible side. no-one thought they could beat them cos they bought into it until man utd finally did and everyone clicked and thought oh right we can beat them.

Some interesting picks... I suppose if you extend it to a top 15 then you begin to get a bit of variation... The top 10 give or take 2 or 3 would be fairly similar with most I reckon...
I rule out Sammartino as I hadn't seen him but heard he was a star, same with Lou Thesz... Eddie I thought was overated. Steamboat superb in the ring just didn't have the 'IT' factor in my opinion

i wouldn't worry i just read the full list and rey mysterio is at #9

Going off topic a bit but that invincible team actually lost 6 games that season (in all comps) although it was a great acheivement invincible they were not

exactly but everyone bought into it that they were unbeatable making them look better then they were.

Like many on here I've never got Myseterio????

However my girlfriends 8 year old brother loves Mysterio.... I asked him why & he said 'he's' small like me'

2 weeks later he said to me 'my new favourite is the new one with a mask!'

Nando got a link for the full list I couldn't find it?

there we go pb

pretty much when your 8 anything high flying is amazing and will always be favorite

My Top 5

HBK
Angle
Jericho
Taker
Austin

Batista in that list?

Cheers Nando it's a poor list think it might have got edited a bit after they voted tbh to suit Vince. Kurt Angle is 34!

If its based on just WWF/E history Flair wouldn't make the top 15 IMO

1. Austin
2. Rock
3. Hogan
4. Micheals
5. Bret
6. Undertaker
7. Randy Savage
8. HHH
9. Mick Foley
10. The Ultimate Warrior
