Who has the most pure wrestling skill in WWE?

In otherwords, what wrestler can tell the best story in the ring.

This has nothing to do with gimmick, feuds, or mic work. I'm talking all in-ring work here.

Angle? Benoit?

%100 Angle. His skills are amazing and I have never seen a match he was in have any boring parts or lulls even when he is just laying there. If you watch him when he is wrestling someone that is not a vet or has some wring rust, he can improvise and instruct the other wrestler in what to do and can carry a match with anyone. He wrestles in the ring with the likening to an Oscar performance in the movies everytime. I can't say enough good things about him form the day he debuted.

I'd say Angle, but Benoit deserves a nod as well.

Considering how many of you are choosing Angle straight off, I'm finding my decision a little tougher. To my own surprise, Benoit isn't in contention.

For starters, we have Eddie Guerrero. Amongst the company's best workers, fluid, athletic, and good at ring psychology. I loved the Guerreros in a team as heels, they were the definition of a heel tag team. They were so fluent it was unreal, at times.

Of course going to win the majority of votes is Angle, because he quite obviously has a natural gift for wrestling. His potential seems endless even now, and he is on a higher plain than anyone else on the roster.

But perhaps to be different, I'm going to be different. Perhaps I should choose Angle, I know he is the most gifted actual "wrestler". But I'm going to go with my choice because it's different, and whilst psychology proves nearly all humans conform in many ways they may try to rebel against, I'm going to try it anyway. Ric Flair is my choice. Without doubt one of the legends in the ring, and he can still go as good as ever. He really does have that special factor so few possess - Kurt Angle being another. Plus for his age, he is incredible. Go Flair.

I wouldn't say flair has the best pure wrestling skills what so ever. He may have the total package but I would never say he has or had the best skills. He cal tell an awesome story in the right but I would still have to put him second to Angle.

Back in flairs prime, Yes him all the way. And if you consider flairs prime with Angle now, Its still Flair.

But if we are talking about Today, I would have to go with Angle. Flair is good, damn good. But he is too old and alot slower now. While he still can out wrestle about 60% of the workers out there today. He just cant keep up and put on a long, believeable match these days. Short 10-15 mins matches, hes great.

Angle today, years ago Flair.

Yeah, I said my better judgement would tell me Angle. But I'm bringing Flair in to make conversation.

Flair is certainly amongst the best wrestlers on Raw.

the things that flair does, at this age, are truly remarkable. he's a better in-ring wrestler now than hogan was in his prime :p

i also thought austin was always good at telling a story in the ring. i thought his matches always flowed really well. he showed that a "brawler" can be in 4 and 5 star matches, not just technical wizards like flair, benoit, angle, etc.

Back to the topic at hand you goofy
people,
Who is the best in the ring now?

Angle by a landslide over everyone on
both shows. No one has what it takes
like him boys and girls.
