Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat or Nick Bockwinkle? Who was the better Pro Wrestler and why?

I'm a fan of 3 of the 4, but I'll try to remain unbiasd because I do see the merit and argument for all four. I'm going to make up 4 categories and see who covers he most.

1. Scientific Wrestling Ability: By this I mean who told the better stories in-ring all around, and who was the most diverse at telling a story in-ring. I think all four men are capable of this, but if two were lacking in the ability of telling a unique story every time they entered the ring, I'd argue Steamboat and Steve Williams were the two that weren't greats. Steamboat always had to play the disadvantaged underneath babyface who fights for his family against all odds. He never got the chance to play the veteran in control or the heel taking the dirty way out. Almost every time he was in the ring he was portrayed as the blue collar, blue chipper talent chasing the prize. While he can't be fully blamed for those circumstances, it could be argued that while he had great basics and some flash in his repertoire, he was never one to work a joint or target a body part for submission. Steve Williams is almost the opposite end of the spectrum. He worked face but he was arguably a better heel with brutish throws and charging strikes. As prolific of a big man as he might've been, from a work rate and storytelling perspective he was almost always the beastly final boss to overcome. Bret and Nick were good faces and even better heels. They could play babyface in peril, wily ring veteran, or straight up dick heels who relished in the idea of stretching their opponents. There was depth to them as performers and a believable humanity to them that allowed character evolution and change in styles.

2. In-Ring Legacy/Impact on the Business: All four men left an indelible mark in their own ways. Canadians are forever irrationally evil invaders applying sharpshooters because of Bret, and hoss wrestlers still whip out a 3 point stance, crazy collegiate suplexes, or a Oklahoma Stampede to this day. I'd go as far as to even say Lesnar to a degree is sort of a modern day Dr. Death, and watch New Japan and you'll see guys like Tomohiro Ishii or Togi Makabe who were clearly influenced by gaijin like Williams. Meanwhile in NXT, guys like Roderick Strong and Johnny Gargano are pulling out flashy moves and fighting for their family like Steamboat. Then there are silver tongued heels that pull out big dictionary words like Bockwinkel in promos to display mental superiority. Four way tie in this category, but if there were a weak link, I'd say it's Bockwinkel.

3. Classic Matches: Bockwinkel was the elder statesman of AWA, pulling out near hour long broadways to maintain his championship against the likes of Curt Hennig and Hulk Hogan before there was a Mr. Perfect or Hulkamania, not to mention his knock down, drag out, brutal encounters with Verne himself. Steve Williams rivalries are harder to pin down since he himself went unpinned for a decade. He was never really a big program guy in the US unless it was with Herb Abrahm's UWF where his main event rivalry wit Paul Ordorff constantly went to draws or no-contest. Like with Bockwinkel, despite the controversial booking they were still great matches, just not on a huge stage. Steamboat had his classics with Flair and his bout at Wrestlemania 3 with Savage, and Bret had great in-ring bouts with the likes of Steve Austin, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and even his own family members. I think Bret pulls ahead in this category, but with the caveat that while Bret was the glue that held those matches together, I feel like (excluding Nash), his opponents were usually better in-ring performers, and including Nash, bigger draws.

4. Drawing Power: While Bret was a byproduct of the WWF hype machine, he was still one of their lowest drawing headliners along with HBK. Steve William probably drew in Japan, and I'd go to a show solely for Dr. Death, but he was never really the 'guy'. Steamboat was likable and worked his *** off everywhere he went and the Mid-Atlantic territory loved him, but it never really translated on a global level. Nick Bockwinkel was a major main eventer in the eastern hemisphere of the US, making a name for himself in GCW and a legend of himself in AWA. There was arguably a time where AWA was the second biggest promotion in America where Bockwinkel was on top, and I'd argue he probably had more eyes on him through syndication than Bret did in some of his runs on top, but Bret probably wins this category.

Tallying up the categories, it's hard to argue against Bret as being the winner as much as I despise him. He was textbook as they could get, was a versatile performer, and made lasting impact on the industry. I think the same could be said of most of the names on this list, but it seems the biggest drawback for most was that there was always a bigger star there to overshadow them or some politicking that kept them away from the big time. None of these men are great talkers. Bockwinkel was good at his heel persona and Bret was too, but none of these guys ever got over with the gift of gab which is what should be taken away from this: These four got over with what they did in the ring. The fans loved, reviled, or rooted for them based on the story they told between the ropes and I think that kind of magic is lacking in a vast majority of US promotions these days and that's sad.

er Pro Wrestler and why? Gov't is killing you with high frequency electricity. Theotokos Virgin Mary gave prayers to "Schema-nun Antonia" on how to save aborted babies from hell. If you pray these prayers diligently, aborted babies are released from hell. On each painted nail there are 40 demons. Smoking is censer to the devil. Using foul language calls upon Pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on 7 meters. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion; using contraceptives for 1 year = 5 aborted kids. Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of tight pants (second generation cesarean will be infertile). Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell for until Final Judgement; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside your home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (hemisphere); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground and because earth is heating up. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "Christ is here; Christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flour from mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm) because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your forearm, then you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign of the cross (last mercy for you will be to cut your forearm off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't using chemtrails; they're also in gov't food and medicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of aborted fetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human flesh is in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging, anticancer, vaccines, perfume, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-12 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse, Chrtistians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos Virgin Mary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyes scan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. Gabriel Urgebadze said that they do it on index finger when they scan your finger. Basically, try to avoid new documents at all cost. Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, green mark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. The Most Holy Trinity gives you a name during baptism; devil gives an antiname during antibaptism (ex. Social Security Number). People who die with these Satanic documents go to concentration camp in hell to await Final Judgement; once the BEAST Computer is burned down, souls will be released for Final Judgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceased relatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristian names given during antibaptism by the beast system; or just burn these documents because gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Prophecy from half a millenium ago describes Final Judgement like this: Jesus was very upset with people who had little boards (plastic cards) in their hands because they wanted discount from the antichrist. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year [at midnight between September 18 and September 19 and similarly on November 20-21; pray at these times on your knees remembering the deceased by names (adding "and relatives by flesh up to Adam") so that they are rescued if they're in hell] (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. It's a big sin to remember the dead with wreaths (because demons put these wreaths on their necks if they're in hell with their hands tied up behind their back while hanging by their hands), meat, alcohol, sweets, and worldly music. Demons print icons on saints in newspapers so that you throw these newspapers in the trash blaspheming these saints. Crosses on soles of shoes and back of pants are blasphemy. Demons make carpets with crosses and put them on sidewalks so that people walk on crosses. Playing cards mock how Jesus suffered on the cross: clubs (cross on which Jesus was crucified), diamonds (four nails Jesus was crucified with), hearts (sponge with vinegar that Jesus was given to drink), spades (spear with which Jesus was pierced). Cremation is devil worship; only blasphemers such as Lenin should be burned; if Lenin is buried, earth will be polluted, and China will attack Russia because of this. After China attacks Russia, Ruski Orthodox Tsar (shown by resurrected Seraphim of Sarov) will come to power in Russia; this Tsar will slay traitors inside church and gov't; as a result, Russia will be the only country not under the antichrist. Ecumenism has 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. In 2006 in Moscow (that's why Moscow will sink), representatives from most religions signed a document where it says that all religions worship the same Supreme Being [aka the devil]. Priests who participate in ecumenism will have Pagans walking on their heads in hell. Arkhimandrite Antonin Kapustin left a prophecy that John the Baptist's living space will become a church and it will be blessed by forerunner of antichrist; Patriarch Kirill of Russia blessed this church. When priests pray for current gov't (instead of praying for future Tsar), Jesus gets up from His throne and turns His back to them. Forgive me.
