Matt Borne's Doink morphing into his ECW Borne Again character would have made for an AMAZING bridge from New Gen to Attitude if Borne wasn't a nutjob who got himself fired.
Probably Kurt Angle. Amateur credentials, able to win world title in 1 year, able to play face or heel, can be serious or funny, great on the mic, all of his stuff looked good, and he could have a great match with different style opponents.
greatest wrestler of all time is ric flair cutting a promo that starts with him in a fancy suit and, after he elbow drops the ring and rifles his gucci shoes into the audience, ends with him in his underwear handcuffed to the ring
It depends on the time period. You can't really compare Lou Thesz or Verne Gagne to anyone today, no matter how popular. It's not fair to Lou or Verne quite frankly. They worked every night and their money was directly tied to their in ring performance vs today where its tv rights and merch. When it comes to influence with the public? Nearly all of the wrestlers today are more athletic and skilled than the old guys but no one, and I mean no one was more over than Bruno Sammartino. He was still wrestling 40 years ago. I don't believe in GOAT debates because it ignores nuance. Nuance is important in everything.
Perc Angle is the greatest wrestling in-ring performer. Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan is the biggest wrestler ever. Brett Hart is the greatest technical wrestler of all time.
It's Hogan. It'll always be Hogan. You can argue all you want, but the Hulkster is still the greatest and will always be the greatest professional wrestler of all time.
I can't be a fan of anyone that does a leg drop. It's such a kayfabe-breaking move. If you're already above them why not just land your ass on their face instead of your leg?
No. He's not the greatest wrestler of all time. He's the most important wrestler of all time (thus securing a spot on the mt. Rushmore) but he was a shit wrestler.
Who is your favorite wrestling, and why is it Yoshinari Ogawa?
I'm googlizing his name right now so the algorithms know to suggest more videos of him. All this time I thought Greg Valentine was the goat.
@@kraig7777 Yeah his Rhythm & Blues run saved 80s WWF
Because Misawa was better. Muta was better as well.
@@ShadowAngel606 You mean Lita? Eh she was fine.
It's a tough call between David Flair and Horace Hogan.
The Hitman Bret Hart is the goat.
No, I think it was his dad that wrestled farm animals, not him.
I didn't know Ogawa was my favourite wrestler and I'm glad to have learned that lesson
It's been my pleasure to teach it to you!
I MUST NOT MAIN KING. I MUST NOT MAIN KING. I MUST NOT MAIN KING. I MUST NOT MAIN KING. I MUST NOT MAIN KING. I MUST NOT MAIN KING.
YOU MUST!
Eugene, the hurricane, or doink. Its a tie

I've never seen this bloke grapple; but you're undoubtedly spot on.......... He's amazing.
I know, right? Truly captivating!
The lack of naming Thesz, Londos and/or Rogers even in the introductory section makes me raise an eyebrow....
They were plumbers wrestling plumbers and they should have just been plumbing since they were so shit at wrestling.
@@GohLow Not true. Some of them were truck drivers.
True, they needed people to bring the ring to shows
“You know what boys are?” 😂😂😂
The extended pause was not intentional but made it so much better
Bryan Danielson is my personal GOAT, but I'm grateful for this video. It introduced me to a great wrestler that I hadn't heard of before. Good stuff!
Probably Kurt Angle. Amateur credentials, able to win world title in 1 year, able to play face or heel, can be serious or funny, great on the mic, all of his stuff looked good, and he could have a great match with different style opponents.
Sorry the greatest is Named Ray Stevens. I don't know how your spelling could be so far off!
Maybe we're using different versions of english; I'm sure my spelling is the same as yours.

It's a credit to the insanity of Flair's career that I could see this happening in any decade from the 70s to the 2010s.
@@GohLowsecond half of 90s WCW, he cuts it on bischoff on who gets to "run" WCW. peak flair, peak nature boy, absolutely insane energy.
@@MoragTong I woulda guessed it was from when he got thrown into an insane asylum, so kinda close to when he actually it

How can you watch this video and say it isn't nuanced? I literally made reference to an ancient olympian.
Scott Steiner is the GOAT, mathematically speaking.
Can't argue with the math
You lost all credibility with me once you said Misawa had no talent. lol
You lost all credibility the moment you thought he had any
Gory Guerrero
Yeah Eddie's matches did tend to get gory, like that time with JBL
William regal
Ah yes, the white Ogawa, I'm a fan of this choice!
Perc Angle is the greatest wrestling in-ring performer. Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan is the biggest wrestler ever. Brett Hart is the greatest technical wrestler of all time.
No no, the answer to all of those categories is Yoshinari Ogawa; I've made that very clear.
i think you'll find that Big Daddy is the goat
He sure does look like one
Mil Mascaras
kurt angle brother
It can't be Kurt Angle's brother; his brother is dead.
Its stone cold, its inarguable, factually and scientifically correct, end of discussion.
That's not the answer I gave, therefore it's wrong. Good luck being smarter
@@GohLow well you're answer was factually incorrect, and you need to get some better fact checkers in your crew.
Who are the fact checkers on your crew, bub?
@@GohLow WHAT?
@@falconmclenny7284 "Say what if you sleep with your sister" Probably the best Undertaker line ever.
Well it’s an opinion but that doesn’t make it right
Well it's MY opinion, so it does make it right.
Inoki.
Nah he wrestled for the non-Ogawa companies, so it can't be him
Andrea The Giant
Is he the guy that played Hugo in the Final Fight games? Love his work
It's Hogan. It'll always be Hogan. You can argue all you want, but the Hulkster is still the greatest and will always be the greatest professional wrestler of all time.
I can't be a fan of anyone that does a leg drop. It's such a kayfabe-breaking move. If you're already above them why not just land your ass on their face instead of your leg?
It's Austin. Hogan had his chance to prove otherwise and his company tanked
No. He's not the greatest wrestler of all time. He's the most important wrestler of all time (thus securing a spot on the mt. Rushmore) but he was a shit wrestler.
It's that Russian guy who never wrestled professionally. Since he wasn't pro then the GOAT of course was Mil Mascaras.
Hogan was actually shit at wrestling. Personality and gimmick is what drove him to the top, just like The Rock.
just look at the black outline on the thumbnail its clear its stone cold we all know its stone cold he is and will always be the goat
Nah, that's Yoshinari Ogawa, I'm pretty sure of it. Right down to the bald head.
@@GohLow Sorry I had the image enhanced, it's definitely the Rock.
