Best of the Best

[Guest Imarkout4chrisdaniels]

Give your picks for the following categories. Fell free to give your reasoning behind your picks, and even add other categories. These are active wrestlers (injured list counts, too) and since this is the WWE folder, it will be limited to that organization.

 

Best Promo/Interview

 

MyPick: The Rock---I think he has always been a great promo guy, but his current heel character is just great

 

 

Best Technical Wrestler

 

My Pick: Benoit---Angle and Eddy are also great, but Benoit looks so crisp and convincing while giving and taking the moves.

 

 

Best Finisher

 

My Pick: Widow's Peak---I think someone else could do it better, but the finisher itself is very good.

 

 

Best Tattoo

 

My Pick: The Rock---His new tribal rocks, but I think it go all the way around his arm to complete it.

 

 

Best Physique

 

My Pick: Cena---He has a large but natural looking build to him.

 

 

Best Suplex (Wrestler)

 

My Pick: Benoit---Again, it looks so crisp.

 

 

Best Submission Move

 

My Pick: Anklelock---For the simplicity of the move compared to how much it hurts. Granted Angle doesn't lay down and keep the opponent grounded, but it is a pretty hurtful move.

 

 

Best Up-and-Comer

 

My Pick: Brock---I think he has been rather convincing in his role he was given, and don't forget he hasn't even been here a year yet.

[Guest Choken One]

Shouldn't this go to Wrestling Polls or something?

[Guest Imarkout4chrisdaniels]

Sorry, I was thinking it would spawn some debates about wrestlers in WWE. As long as it gets a discussion going.

[Guest CanadianChick]

Keep in mind, I'm doing this for the present time, not the best ever. Frankly, I'm pretty young and while I have seen the greats like Steamboat and Flair, I was too young to really apprieciate them. The Bret/Shawn era was when I really started watching a lot of wrestling, so I'm just going to do the present so I know what I'm talking about.

 

Best Promo/Interview:

For the present time, I'd say Jericho. He can be funny or serious, and get serious heel heat both ways.

 

Best Technical Wrestler

Benoit-his crispness of moves combined with his in-ring intensity just puts me in awe.

 

Best Finisher

Frog Splash. I love both Eddie's and RVD's, but if I had to pick, I'd say RVD because he gets so much hang time. It's pretty cool to see.

 

 

Best Tattoo

Um...I guess Rey's. They're not too big and obvious. My pick for the worst is Lita's. Sorry, but I think the shoulder tattoo isn't very good.

 

 

Best Physique

I like Edge's. He's lean and not too big. And his abs are very, very nice (sorry, my girly side is coming out).

 

Best Suplex (Wrestler)

Benoit: Angle's are very nice, but I think I prefere Benoit's more.

 

Best Submission Move

Jericho's old Liontamer. Not the Boston Crab version, but the one he did a lot in WCW. I loved that finisher. I marked out when he did it to Trish a couple monthes ago. It was a while since I had seen it.

 

Best Up-and-Comer

Cena. Mark my words, this guy is going to be huge. And i like the gradual build of him. Having him and Brock have a monster push at the same time wouldn't have made much sense.

[Guest The_Radical]

Best Promo/Interview: Ric Flair - unbelievable at drawing heat (honorable mentions to Terry Funk, Piper and Rock)

 

Best Technical Wrestler: Chris Benoit (honorable mentions to Flair, Steamboat and Eddie Guerrero)

 

Best Finisher: Tiger Driver '91 (A Pedigree but piledriver instead of face-buster). Honorable mentions to Ki Krusher '99 and The Angel's Wings.

 

Best Tattoo: Bam Bam Bigelow's "flames".

 

Best Physique: Rick Rude (honorable mentions to Ultimate Warrior and Lex Luger)

 

Best Suplex (Wrestler): Dynamite Kid (honorable mentions to Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit)

Best Up-and-Comer: This is a hard one. There are so many up-and comers in the business today. For technique, i choose American Dragon Bryan Danielson, because he is easily the best young technical wrestler I have watched in many years. As far as charisma goes, I have to say Sonny Siaki is great, but he lacks the in-ring skills to back it up. That won't stop the WWE from signing him though!

[Guest Coffin Surfer]

"Best Finisher: Tiger Driver '91 (A Pedigree but piledriver instead of face-buster). "

 

-uh no. A Tiger Driver 91 is a Vertical Sheer Drop, Double Arm, Knee Drop Powerbomb. I think your thinking of the Double Arm Piledriver which isn't the same as the TD91.

 

While I'm here:

 

 

Best Promo/Interview

-Akira Hokuto. I don't even have to understand Japanese to appreciate the emotion and intensity of her words. The best performer I've ever seen in the sport, in fact, she's better than most of those overrated hacks in hollywood.

 

Best Technical Wrestler

 

-Tamura. Makes Beniot look like Kevin Nash.

 

 

Best Finisher

 

-Hansen's Western Lariat. When he hits it, the match is over, no questions ask.

 

Best Tattoo

 

-I don't really give a fuck.

 

Best Physique

 

-I don't really give a fuck.

 

Best Suplex (Wrestler)

 

-Manami Toyota has the sexiest bridge ever, can pop off a straight jacket northern lights suplex like it's nothing, and pretty much do crazy stuff with regularity that others can only dream of.

 

 

Best Submission Move

 

-Juji-gatame. The most badass submission hold ever. Honorable mention to the Triangle Choke.

 

 

Best Up-and-Comer

 

-I don't really follow the current scene.
