10 Biggest Pro Wrestling Debates

4. Who Is The Greatest In-Ring Performer Of All-Time?

Obviously, this is another subjective debate, as one fan may place more importance on technical ability, while another may look at high-flying with more importance, while yet another might view storytelling as the most important thing a wrestler can do in the ring, all of which can skew their "numbers" a bit. Through the years, fans have been lucky enough to see several matches between people who would be nominees for winners of this debate. Shawn Michaels VS Kurt Angle. Any of the Ric Flair VS Ricky Steamboat classics. Shawn Michaels VS Chris Jericho. Eddie Guerrero VS Chris Benoit. The list goes on and on, and those matches were used as barometers of greatness, so to speak. If you were to ask those in the business, their answer to this question is almost always Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels. How much does that weigh in your mind? How much should it? If there's anything that could affect or sway your opinion on this topic, it would be the thoughts of those who do, or have done, this wrestling thing for a living, right? The best thing you can do when you're trying to figure this debate out is research, research, research. It doesn't matter if you've watched certain matches zero times or a million times. You'd need to line up several matches from the likes of Flair, Michaels, Angle, Guerrero, Benoit, Steamboat, Jericho, Triple H, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, and so forth, and you need to watch them. Start nitpicking their work. Find their strengths and their weaknesses. Find how easily they were able to showcase those strengths and hide those weaknesses. See the types of opponents they were able to shine against, whether it was everyone or mostly certain types. Do your "homework", and this should come a lot easier to you.
