I would like to know who you all consider to be the greatest wrestler of all time. I do not want to see people saying John Cena or Batista or somebody else of that caliber because they are not real wrestlers. People like Cena and Batista have no previous wrestling background and went straight into pro wrestling training. I am talking about WWE superstars who have amateur wrestling history. This can be a present or past superstar but they have to have spent at least one year in the WWE.

I would easily give that to either Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar. Kurt Angle is an olympic gold medalist. Brock Lesnar is a two time NCAA champion. Both of which are pretty prestigious and give a lot of credit to both men.

These are my two choices as well, both men have had tremendous success in the past with their amateur careers. I would love to see a classic wrestling match between these two men, possibly even a MMA fight in the future. Brock Lesnar is now the current UFC heavyweight champion and he has shown interest in a fight with Kurt, and Angle has stated that he would love to, but Dana White will not let Kurt come into UFC while he is still under contract to TNA. MAybe some day we will know who is truly the best.

The very famous wwe wrestling star Hulk Hogan according to me had the best wrestling talent.As he doesn't wrestle now as he has become old so I consider him the best star of them all.Another wrestler which impressed me a lot is Shawn Micheals who still wrestle in WWE.

I'd probably say guys like Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Bret and Owen Hart, Chris Jericho. A lot of the guys who trained in Stu Hart's dungeon had real wrestling talent. (Yes, I realize Kurt Angle wasn't trained by Stu Hart, but he didn't win a gold medal for nothing.)
