Who are the best wrestlers of the past 50 years?

1961-2011 who are the ten best.

Please don't list anyone that started BEFORE 1960. We don't need a list filled with Lou Thesz and Buddy Rogers. Feel free to start another topic for Pre-1960 wrestlers. I'll comment as well. I am trying to get a list from the somewhat-modern era.

LWC, let's try to put some structure to this? What do you mean by top wrestler? Is this fan favorite-charesmatic poll; technical; revenue generating; or personal favorites?

I don't think you can mix, i.e. Benoit & Dean Malenko would be at the top for technical, but did not draw a dollar. Verne Gagne may have been the greatest technical wrestler of our time, but no one outside of AWA knew of him. Hulk Hogan is the #3 money generating wrestler of all-time, but could not wrestle his way out of a wet paperbag.

Dusty, use whatever category you wish. I didn't want to confuse the average wrestling fan. A guy like Kurt Angle and Randy Savage had it all but make the list however you wish. I have a separate thread for personal favorites.

If you want, do a list of technical and mic skills or something. However you want, it's your list.
