  1. Ric Flair - Had more great matches with more varied opponents than probably anyone in the last 20 or so years.Shawn Michaels - Took on Flair's mantle in the mid 90s with a string of bravura performances with any number of talentless stiffs.Bret Hart - Have to agree with Vince McMahon's assessment of Hart as one of the absolute best storytellers in wrestling ever. Credible as they come.Steve Austin - Either "Stone Cold" or "Stunning" actually. Fantastic in-ring competitor who has shown great adaptability to work as a technical wrestler or a brawler, and as a face or heel - and still excel at it all.Chris Benoit - On sheer in-ring ability, Benoit has proven time and time again that he is one of the most gifted performers of his generation.Tatsumi "The Dragon" Fujinami - For my money perhaps the greatest wrestler in New Japan history. I know I say this about Toryumon's Susumu Yokosuka a lot... but Fujinami really IS the Japanese Ric Flair.Jushin "Thunder" Liger - Took what was innovated by Fujinami and Sayama to a whole new level. The greatest Jr Heavyweight competitor of all time. He's been at the top of his game for more than 15 years... and I actually mean the ABSOLUTE top. Liger is still the standard bearer for excellence in Jr Heavyweight wrestling in 2003.Osamu Nishimura - As far as I am concerned, he has the most beautiful and exquisite ring work in the world today. An absolute joy to watch. A technician par excellence.Kenta Kobashi - The best "big match" performer in Japanese pro wrestling probably ever. It says something that Highspots produced an EIGHT tape compilation of Kobashi matches, and people were STILL complaining that there weren't enough matches being shown in their entirety.Mitsuharu Misawa - The final choice was a tough one, but Misawa got the nod for his consistancy and his unparallelled series of matches with both Kawada & Misawa.$tew
