WWE: 10 Greatest Ring Technicians Of All Time

daniel bran There are many styles in professional wrestling. There are the high flying antics of the likes of Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara and AJ Styles. There€™s the hardcore style made popular by legends such as Terry Funk, Sabu and Mick Foley. Bradshaw and Wade Barrett are examples of brawlers, whilst guys like The Ultimate Warrior, Goldberg and Ryback are the power wrestlers who use brute strength alone to defeat opponents. Every style has its attributes over the others, but today we are going to examine a single style and that is the technical style of wrestling. Technical wrestlers are those who have a varied catalogue of moves and holds. They are the expert submission wrestlers and also have a large arsenal of moves and counters to out wrestle any of the other styles. Over the years the WWE has seen the greatest wrestlers of all time, and many of them are what would be deemed technical wrestlers. This doesn€™t instantly make them the most successful, or the most popular. The greatest wrestlers of all time are those who mix styles, who can adapt and evolve over time. The Rock is never going to be called the greatest technical wrestler, but he is solid enough to put on a good match, whilst having the charisma and ability to tell a story in the ring, and that is why he is so successful. Similarly Shawn Michaels is possibly the best in ring performer ever, but his style has always been more about flashy, high impact and flying moves then mat wrestling and reversals. This is a subject that is certain to cause debate between fans for as long as wrestling exists, and there will always be certain names brought up time and again. Some wrestlers may be over rated, whilst others painfully overlooked. Whatever your views are on the subject lets see who the ten greatest ring technicians are of all time!

Hello! My name is David Pustansky. As well as writing for this site, I'm also an actor, presenter, writer, director and artist. So basically I love creative things where there's a story to be told. I run my own theatre company, The ImProDigies. Be sure to check our shows out. As I'm sure you'll see from my articles I often look into things with a unique and quirky perspective and have a strange attention to sometimes strange details. Enjoy!
