I personally feel that a good wrestler should start being partially be rated on his acting, since it's a big part in a wrestler. So, who do you think in the best actor right now in wrestling. (And for the smartass' that are gonna say uhh, it's charisma, they're two completely diff things.)
I'd say the top one is def Orton. The guy just knows how to act evil. Facial expression, even his smile and voice are evil. Nice acting by him.
Vince McMahon is another one. I'm not sure if he's really an asshole like he is on TV, but he does that Boss thing well.
Third is Kurt Angle. I really think he can be the star bad guy in like a move with a plot like the Taking of Pal-Ham 123.
Most wrestlers are terrible actors really. I think wrestlers should try and take acting lessons before they get into the biz, because there's nothing that kills a segment or match quicker than awful acting that isn't believable in the slightest. Not that many wrestlers are particularly good at portraying emotion.
Orton is good in his role, but it's not as difficult as other characters.
CM Punk is probably my favourite at the moment. He just has the whole character down so well. Things like his facial expressions make him a great actor, and when he cuts promos about drug use etc, he really does seem like he believes every word. Of course that's partly because the gimmick is a development of his real life attitude, but I think he's definitely one of the most believable guys. He's never too over the top, and knows how to use facial expressions to get his emotions across perfectly.

Watching Smackdown! now, and I finally see how good Punk is. The guy is the diamond the WWE needed to fix with Cena.
Cena top face : Punk top heel.
The evantual Punk vs. Cena Wrestlemania Main Event should be awesome.
Jeff is a good example of some wrestlers being terrible actors btw. He's always embarassing on the mic. Also, Shawn Michaels is a pretty terrible actor when he's required to show emotion. Even Cole and King are both horrible actors. King is the worst, nothing he says sounds even the slightest bit genuine.
As for other good ones, I think Cena is a decent actor when he's not being epic cheesy, which is pretty much never nowadays. I've been impressed with MVP recently too. I think he's another guy who can seem very genuine and very passionate at times.

You didn't feel the emotion during the feud with Trips? Or when he came after Orton? Not to mention Flair and Jericho. Emotion is his strong suit. I'd say he sucks as an actor when he tries to be DX funny. Other then that, he's good.
Cena proved to be a great actor by starring in movies, which shows how tenanted he is. MVP still kinda seems rehearsed to me, but he's getting better.
I am deciding this on selling in the match, my two top choices are Shawn Michaels and Finlay. It seems every Finlay match he looks like he is injured. Vince has some great facials too. Abyss also shows some great reactions like he actually is batshit crazy
