Hi there again. It's Trish. Every time I discuss pro wrestling, be it with my family, contacts online, or when I'm browsing the web and the topic is about the best wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring, the wrestlers are either technical wrestlers or is the best because they can perform moves and holds that are considered technical. I just want to know, who are some technical wrestlers that were simply lackluster in the ring? Do they even exist to you personally?

A technical wrestler usually knows the basics of wrestling. They're good at chain wrestling(Catch-Can) and can wrestle on the mat. This is a hard question,cause wrestlers that have good technique can do moves and holds that are harder to execute than a brawler,powerhouse. Technical wrestling isn't just about how many moves you execute, but also how you execute them. If you are sloppy in the ring, and almost injure your opponents, than you don't have good technique. So,to answer your question, I haven't seen one. I think the closest I've seen 'technical', but not good is Vladimir Kozlov; if you want to call him a technical wrestler,that is. He has a great wrestling background. Trained in,Martial Mrts,Sambo. He was really good at chain wrestling,and takedowns,right? But,I wouldn't call him a great PRO wrestler. He didn't take bumps or sell,and he didn't have great matches. They tried to push him, but he was stiff and not a good worker;I don't know if it was the language barrier,or what. He might have been good in freestyle wrestling, but not pro. I get what you're saying. You don't have to be a good technical wrestler to be a good wrestler. Wrestling is also about psychology,working the crowd,and work ethic. Vladimir was none of those things,unlike most technical wrestlers. That's all I can think of. I hope this answered your question.
Heath Slater, William Regal, The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Curtis Axel, MVP, DDP, Finley, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Chris Masters, Ted Dibiase (legend but bad in ring), X-Pac.
that is an oxymoron. either a person is good in the ring or not. now if you ask who is a worker that never makes a mistake but lacks psychology to make a decent story in the ring. Well I would have to say Dolph Ziggler but this is a result of being "mindfucked" by the people in charge be it the agents or writers or just people jealous of his ablility. But its not his fault. he is told to be the next billy gunn and well that looks like crap on tv.
