The Rock 9/10

My favorite wrestler ever to be honest. He had it all and he did it so damn quickly. But then again could he have been a product of his time? I don't think so. He was entertaining, and he was actually damn good in the ring. His promo work was probably the best of all time because he could make you cheer for him one minute then make you hate him the next. He knew how to do it and he did it well. We will never see another Rock, because he set the bar so damn high. Like I said he became a champ so damn quick that you didn't know what he would do with it but he did it damn well. I didn't give him a perfect score because hell I don't think any wrestler that we have talked about deserves a 10. To get a 10 in my eyes you have had to do everything well for a long time. Now The Rock did that but I think he left to damn soon, but he is still one of the greats.

Next Wrestler: AJ Styles

[Sabin Shelley Army]

AJ Styles: 8.5/10

The true Mr. TNA, AJ Styles has come a long way since his early days in TNA. AJ tends to use a vast array of aerial maneuvers in his matches, which gets him recognition from fans that enjoy exciting, fast paced, high risk matches. His style also gets him criticism from some that call him a "spot-monkey," but that doesn't make sense. He wrestles a cruiser weight style, which means he should rely on his quickness when going up against heavyweights since they should have a slight power advantage. AJ is also incredibly fast, so he can out race lighter wrestlers and use that to his advantage. What gets lost is the fact that AJ can wrestle a solid match, and he has also toned down his wrestling style and started to do more chain wrestling since turning heel. In this regard, AJ has improved a lot since the early days of TNA. Turning heel while working with Christian helped him to become comfortable while cutting promos, and working with Flair as his manager has helped him kick his promos up again by showing more swagger. All in all, AJ has been in TNA since day one and still remains their franchise player in the eyes of most fans. He's also capable of having a good match with anyone in the company.

Next Wrestler: The Great Khali

The Great Khali 3/10

Never liked him and I don't think I ever will. He is big and that is something the WWE loves, but for me you need something to back it up and sadly he doesn't back it up. I think that handing him the title the first time was dumb, and I think that was when the WWE was trying to see if something could stick and it didn't work at all. I just think that he should not be in the WWE just because of the lack of skills that he has. He has become a comedy wrestler and that suits him best because he is not in the ring a lot and that is always good. I just think that the WWE, screwed up with hiring him, they saw someone big and thought that he'd be a monster and he is but he is not good at it.

Next Wrestler: Chris Hero

[Sabin Shelley Army]

Chris Hero 6.5/10

That Young Knockout Kid is one half of The Kings of Wrestling, the ROH World Tag Team Champions. The Kings of Wrestling are a top quality tag team with Claudio Castagnoli. I like Chris Hero, but I only really know him in ROH. He cuts good promos, but his in ring style revolves around his elbow shots. Sure his elbow strikes look really good, but it can get annoying when he has a match with that being the majority of his offense...kind of like when a wrestler over relies on chops. That's kind of odd especially when people talk about how good he is in PWG in comparison to how he wrestles in ROH. Regardless, Hero could move onto TNA or the WWE and do well.

Next Wrestler: Claudio Castagnoli

[Killswitch]

Claudio Castagnoli: 7/10

I think that he is the better of the two. He is a good wrestler and just the whole gimmick they both carry around works so damn well. I think that he could also go to TNA or the WWE and he can do damn good. If you have that in your back pocket then you are doing something right. I haven't watched a lot of him as I don't get into ROH that much but from what I have seen and heard he is pretty good. And someone I wouldn't mind seeing more of.

Next Wrestler: Tyler Black

[General Rection]

Tyler Black: 7/10

good wrestler. the guy's got above average skills and good storylteling for his age and experience, what he needs to improve and big time, are his mic skills, whenever he grabs a mic, he sounds really nervous, i dont know why didnt he go to TNA, he coul've did a great pair with Jesse Neal, as both are Metalcore guys.

next wrestler: Lash LeRoux

[Killswitch]

Lash LaRoux: 3/10

I never watched much WCW back in the day and when he was on I didn't really catch a glimpse of anything good. I don't know what it was about him but he seemed so damn bland to me. That's why I think that he didn't get a big name. He had some feuds but like I said to me they were nothing special. I just think that he didn't do anything because well, whats the point when you have no crowd reaction. At least to me that's the way it was. Sorry, if people here like him I never did, and he did not leave a lasting impression on me.

Next Wrestler: Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat

[AdamForever]

I suppose it really comes down to how we rate a wrestler, what I mean by that is do we just write them by there wrestling ability or do we rate them for how they sell charchter, there mic skills, carsima, fitness, ect

[Sabin Shelley Army]

Ricky the Dragon Steamboat 7/10

I was a big fan of Ricky Steamboat as a kid. He reminded me of Bruce Lee since he had the title "The Dragon" and whenever we saw his family from time to time (I've been a big Bruce Lee fan). I liked seeing him wrestle in the WCW/NWA, but his WWF persona was more larger than life since he would do the fire breathing routine. His dragon entrance attire was also cool, but his famous WCW theme music was the best. As a kid, the only real negative I felt about Steamboat was that his matches tended to feel too similar. There was just a bit of an over reliance on the head scissors and chops. Regardless, he has had great matches with Flair, Bret Hart, and many others that are worth watching. There's a reason why he's a legend and a lot of guys wish they could have had a match with him. I also think his promos were fine, though people say he wasn't the best on the mic. He was a traditional baby-face his whole career, not an anti-hero or heel. He's proof that consistency isn't a crime.

Next Wrestler: Big Van Vader

[The Undertaker]

Vader. 7/10

Great wrestler for a man of his size, and easily one of the best big wrestlers of all time. He was very entertaining, and had an awesome character. Loved the mask where you could see what he looked like, yet it still held some mystery as to his true identity. Extremely athletic. His matches with Kane were awesome, battle of two indestructible monsters. Epic. Naturally due to his size he wasn't as versatile as others, but he most definitely made the best of his gifts in the wrestling business.

I guess it's only fitting, the next wrestler to be rated be.......

Kofi Kingston. Ha I know who you thought I was gonna say lol. So yes, Kofi Kingston.

[Killswitch]

Kofi Kingston 7/10

I like him but now he seems to be stuck in limbo which sucks. When he started on ECW it was pretty good because he was flashy and he caught your eye. He moved to RAW at first it seemed like he was stuck again and to be honest the Jamacian accent never worked on me and I thought it should have been dropped sooner than it was. We saw flashes of brilliance when he had that feud with Orton. You could see someone that could be damn huge and it was a shame that it never went anywhere. I think they need to push Kingston because he is very likable and he is pretty good in the ring.

Next Wrestler: Matt Hardy

[General Rection]

Matt Hardy: 7/10

good wrestler, but sincerely, nothing special as singles. I allways thought the Hardy Boyz togheter had a great magic, but they couldnt live it up on their own, anyways, Jeff became more successful, but that's another story.



next wrestler: Crowbar

[Sabin Shelley Army]

Crowbar/Devon Storm 5.5/10

Crowbar, Daffney, and David Flair made for an amusing stable in WCW. I remember thinking that Crowbar had talent, even when he originally debuted as Devon Storm. He was more than talented enough to carry David Flair (well he was a rookie), and Daffney further helped give the group the insane/horror characteristic that it was reaching for. Devon had some technical skills and high flying ability. He was a solid wrestler, but he wasn't in the mainstream for a long enough period of time. So he was mostly a solid wrestler that should have accomplished more than he did. Still, the faction had it's moments.

Next Wrestler: Billy Kidman

[John]

6/10.

A guy who never really went anywhere in any promotion.. His run in WCW wasn't memorable (I cant remember any match he was involved in) and his WWE run was really forgetfull.. I liked it when he turned heel on London and then suddenly became this Emo-pissed guy. His wrestling skills were amazing and I liked him as a tag champ as his team with London was great.. His lack of charisma is the reason for him not going...

[The Undertaker]

^^That's because you were like 3 or 4 when WCW was on TV. Of course you don't remember any of his feuds. Who's the next wrestler to rate? I guess I'll name him, let's go with Jack Swagger.
