Top overall wrestler in WWE today?

When you consider wrestlin skills, mic skills, and all the intangibles, who is the best overall wrestler in WWE today. I think Edge would be #1. He doesn't have a glaring weakenss and he is always entertaining. Most wrestlers become stale during their long title reigns, but I don't think that happened with Edge. He has held the title for a majority of his active time on Smackdown and I never got bored of him. I would put HBK as runner up for #1 wrestler. What are your thoughts?

    I agree with you. It seems Edge never gets stale and always entertains me. He's not my favorite, but he is entertaining.

    The Undertaker

    Because

    He is an amazing wrestler and is incredibly talented.

    Undertaker has put the most into the business. And is the biggest at the moment. Even though he was 'banished' people are still talking about him all the time.

    He was offered hell loads of money to leave WWE in the 90's for some were else because wwe was on the verge of being cancelled. But Undertaker stayed and helped WWE stay on the air and make WWE what is today. He is respected in and out the ring and has been known to be the 'dad' of the lockeroom. I think he is the most dedicated, respected and passionate wrestler that has ever lived.

    He has the streak of 16-0 and always puts on a great show like Mankind vs Undertaker in 1998. That was just mind blowing. He is the very specimen of a dedicated wrestler and is prepared to step out the lime-light for others.

    He is original in what he does and has something special about him that makes you think WOW. I dont think i can think of a better wrestler than the Undertaker himself.

    All the younger wrestlers look up to him and is one of the nicest guys in WWE. And can wrestle like no other.

    I have an unlimited amount of respect for the man

    Chris Jericho. His feud with HBK has officially become the most entertaining thing in wrestling, if you watched the promo on Raw, at least.

    The Edge character was being held down by having too many other heels with him. Vickie is actually the top heel on Smackdown, judging by crowd reaction. But yeah, I'm glad the angle is finally over and Edge can go on in a fresh new scenario.

    In my opinion, Shawn Michaels is still the number one performer (inside the ring and out) in the WWE. Matt Hardy is not far behind him (if Matt has a weakness, it would be his promos).

    Both Shawn and Matt give us consistently, match after match, great performances. Edge, however, doesn't. Maybe it's because of the godawful storyline he's been in, but great in-ring performances from Edge are very infrequent. He's still capable of great matches but the question is: how often is he able to wow us with his ring-work? Or IS it just that godawful storyline that has affected his ring-work?

    Most of the best wrestlers have bad gimmicks.....to me Finaly and Regal are like the best but they arent "cool" characters althought HBK really is the show stealer.... i was a huge Bret Hart mark. Kurt Angle is the greatest of all time.I like Edge cause he has really paid his dues

  • Shawn Michaels is the best Wrestler, best Entertainer overall best everything. Shawn Michaels is the man, when he retires he will become the Greatest Of All Time.

    Randy Orton is the overall top wrestler in WWE. He has great ring skills, mic skills, and charisma. He is the total package.

  • I would say HBK would be number 1. There isn't one kind of match that he doesn't excel in. Whether its Techinical, Hardcore/Brawl, or lightweight style, he nails them all. He cuts great promos and definitely has all the intangibles too, like selling moves to make them look great.
