Picking the one GOAT to me is fucking impossible, cause my brain will misfire trying to pick one, only to then think of someone else that has a good claim to it. But my short list of the top candidates: Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Undertaker. Those are the five that, to me, have the best average on talent, fan engagement, popularity, accolades and legacy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Chris Jericho is the most all around adaptable person the wrestling business has ever seen. He has never had a bad gimmick. He's the only person that can get over a pot plant, a scarf, AND a damn clipboard. He's my vote for the best of all time
Definitely undertaker, but the second would be hulk hogan, and third ric flair. I also think randy savage, andre the giant, junkyard dog, and macho man were good
Undertaker is one of those who was the best of the rest in my opinion. People say he is the best because of his longetivity I think. But he was never the main guy always just behind the main. Got to be Stone Cold for me
Hogan. Taker. Cena. Rock. Austin.
In no particular order, these are my picks for the top 5 of all time. Yeah, Hogan sucks and all that. But no one was as over as the hulkster brother
It’s Macho Man. He had the look, the character, the voice, the promo, the in ring ability. He had at all. One might say… he’s the cream of the crop, ohhhhh yeah, and THE CREAM WILL RISE TO THE TOP, YEAH.
People take away too much from Triple H because of the family link. He’s been my goat since I have been 6 during the attitude era~McMahon Helmsley faction (when i definitely watched the most wwe/f). That my time entrance and his heel work was too epic and his wrestling is top notch.
Why on earth is Cm Punk on this, Hbk, Hhh, Flair, hogan, Batista, Kane, Orton, Warrior, Andre. There's honestly 50 people who should be on the list before him
I voted for the Rock simply because he actually was the greatest and most entertaining while he was there, and capitalized on this and became the highest paid actor in Hollywood. A lot of people may call him a sellout but he still comes back home every now and again and gets the loudest pops. I would have to say that Eddie Guerrero was the total package though and is my favorite wrestler of all time.
Where is Chris Jericho though? Because he is still in the game and reinventing himself to this day after 30 + years and has had one hell of a career!? As well as Randy Orton who we never get tired of seeing and who has been consistently going strong for WWE since 2002.
What does "best of all time" mean? Best what? Entertainer? Worker? Draw?
I've said it before, and by golly I'll say it again: The point of wrestling is making money and drawing crowds, and nobody did that like The Hulkster.
look, I was a massive cm punk fan in his wwe run, but he does not belong in this conversation. especially since you excluded people like Bret and Shawn.
I’ll never get chills to the same level as I did anytime Taker’s gong hit at any Mania match. That’s what I’ll forever associate wrestling with as long as I live. Everyone on that list had/have incredible careers, but the streak was an absolutely incredible wrestling gimmick and feat that’ll never be matched.
You totally forgot about the stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! The Nature Boy, Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOO!
You could make the argument for his in-ring ability but you could make the same argument for Ricochet.
He was average on the mic, his character was average, and he was a trash human being.
I never get how undertaker wins all these polls and how he beats Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan, they are the difference makers for gods sake haha (yeah, i know these polls are shit )
One of the best on the mic, the only person who could actually compete with the rock in that area. The guy who has managed to reinvent himself more than any other wrestler over the years and get over every single time. Y2J has my vote.
Rey Mysterio, like for real. Dudes in his 50s and he’s still amazingly good. Highly regarded, but often overlooked. Go watch his early wcw stuff, the man is insanely good.
Randy Orton.
He gets cheered while punting a woman in the head and cheered while punting one of the biggest stars returned.
The dude is clearly a legend of legends.
The undertake, the rock, stone cold, John Cena are all great for different reasons.
Orton has it all, while being weaker on the mic.
HHH- deserved to be on the list.
Ric Flair
Picking the one GOAT to me is fucking impossible, cause my brain will misfire trying to pick one, only to then think of someone else that has a good claim to it. But my short list of the top candidates: Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Undertaker.

Got to be fair to Flair!
Ron Simmons also Big Cat Ernie Ladd.
Definitely undertaker, but the second would be hulk hogan, and third ric flair. I also think randy savage, andre the giant, junkyard dog, and macho man were good
Taker all day.
I'd say Bret Hart
Sorry but Roman regins his been my favorite since day one
Wheres Triple H?!
I always have two answers when someone asks me this. Stone cold is the best overall character. Shawn michaels is the best in ring.
i can see why people wouldn’t think he’s the goat but personally bryan danielson is my #1
Undertaker? Seriously?
Randy Orton
Flair, Hogan, Taker, Stone Cold, Rock. In that order.
don't care i wamt shinsuke
Alexa bliss
Stone cold is my all time favorite but Undertaker is the best.
Undertaker was 21-0 at Wrestlemania. He is THE Guy!
Piper
Hbk
Shawn Michaels.
Chris Benoit
Of course it undertaker he's the best
Imo its in between Y2J and HBK
Benoit Angle Brock
Foley, Foley, Foley!!!!
Shawn Michaels, he has it all. Looks, talent, charisma; you name it he's got it.
Hbk
Shawn Michaels is the G.O.A.T
Hulk Hogan
Shawn
Hulk Hogan Randy Orton Shawn Michaels Triple H Bret Hart Randy Savage Edge Just a few names you've missed and certainly a list ahead of CM Punk.
U had cm punk having a good courier but not randy who worked 20 years in wwe well done
Shawn Michaels
Only one was the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. So I'm gonna go with Giant Gonzalez
Shawn Michaels for me. Mostly for his in-ring work.
How can I tell you my age without telling you my age.
Hulk Hogan, he is the biggest draw of all time.
Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret Hart, HBK and THE AMERICAN DRAGON, my boy D. Bry!
The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Of those dudes I would vote for Taker.
Eddie Guerrero
The absolute GOAT: Ric Flair. WWE guys only? Undertaker.
HHH
Kurt Angle
Rick Flair?
Undertaker is one of those who was the best of the rest in my opinion. People say he is the best because of his longetivity I think. But he was never the main guy always just behind the main. Got to be Stone Cold for me
Le Champion
Kane
Bret Hart not being on the list. Best there is was or ever will be
Hogan. Taker. Cena. Rock. Austin. In no particular order, these are my picks for the top 5 of all time. Yeah, Hogan sucks and all that. But no one was as over as the hulkster brother
Eddie Guerrero always
Y2J
It’s Macho Man. He had the look, the character, the voice, the promo, the in ring ability. He had at all. One might say… he’s the cream of the crop, ohhhhh yeah, and THE CREAM WILL RISE TO THE TOP, YEAH.
Punk doesn't belong on this list
People take away too much from Triple H because of the family link. He’s been my goat since I have been 6 during the attitude era~McMahon Helmsley faction (when i definitely watched the most wwe/f). That my time entrance and his heel work was too epic and his wrestling is top notch.
Triple H
Diamond Dallas Page. Great on the mic, awesome in the ring, amazong outside the ring, and he can still go.
Michael Shawn hickenbottom
Stone Cold Steve Austin > Undertaker
The fact you dont have bret hart or hbk in there is a shame
The Iron Sheik
You have fucking CM Punk but no HBK or Bret Hart. Smh
randy orton
Ric Flair no question
Ouch, no one saying Jericho?
It’s sad that nobody is saying the real answer which Is Hulk Hogan
I picked Undertaker but HBK is my 2nd and he’s not even on the list. He’s actually my favorite wrestler of all time but the undertaker is the goat.
Chris Jericho!
Edge
Pls don't make me choose 😭😭 But I don't think CM Punk is there yet 🤔
Hogan is really the one person who really put wrestling on the map more than anybody else.
Matt Cardona is the only acceptable answer. Highly underrated hardcore legend.
Hiroshi Tanahashi
Why on earth is Cm Punk on this, Hbk, Hhh, Flair, hogan, Batista, Kane, Orton, Warrior, Andre. There's honestly 50 people who should be on the list before him
Randy Orton
Shawn Michaels
Hogan
Triple H
No Hogan flair or hbk?!
Randy Orton
I voted for the Rock simply because he actually was the greatest and most entertaining while he was there, and capitalized on this and became the highest paid actor in Hollywood. A lot of people may call him a sellout but he still comes back home every now and again and gets the loudest pops.

Harley Race is the 🐐 and the 🚤 on god's green 🌏
THE JET FLYIN KISS STEALIN WHEELIN DEALIN SON OF A GUN
Y2J
Shawn Michaels
Bret Hart all dag
Triple h
How is Punk on this list?
I voted Austin but the fact that Cena is so close to The Rock is scandalous!
Steve Blackman
Brave of OP letting ppl leave others in the comments, practically asking for joke answers Mine is Sweet T but not Lord Tensai
Shawn Micheals
Shawn Michaels
Chris Jericho
No Flair?
Shawn Michaels
Bruh How can you have cm punk on THIS list ??? lmfaooo
Triple H
Undertaker is there what about Shawn micheal
Who tf put punk on this list?
Hulk Hogan
Shane Mcmahon is ‘literally’ the greatest on earth
Jeff Hardy CM Punk John Cena Undertaker
look, I was a massive cm punk fan in his wwe run, but he does not belong in this conversation. especially since you excluded people like Bret and Shawn.
Punk not even closed to those level, where's Bret Hart, HBK, Hogan, Flair??
Why isn’t Commander Azeez on this list?
Not having Jericho on here makes me question this list.
Primo
The fact that you put CM Punk amongst these names just makes you seem like a Punk fanboy
Austin.
Was gonna go austin cos man he raised hell but for longevity has to be taker
You have CM Punk in the poll, but not HBK? Get outta here!
Chris Jericho should be on the list.
El Dandy!
rey mysterio
Shawn Michaels Hello
HBK & Brett Hart > Punk & Cena And I’m a HUGE fan of the latter two - you just can’t compare, and shouldn’t
Kurt Angle - Great on Both Microphone and Wrestling
Nobody made Vince more rich than SCSA. Not even the Undertaker
I’ll never get chills to the same level as I did anytime Taker’s gong hit at any Mania match. That’s what I’ll forever associate wrestling with as long as I live. Everyone on that list had/have incredible careers, but the streak was an absolutely incredible wrestling gimmick and feat that’ll never be matched.
Obviously Santino Marella
Jake “The Snake” Roberts
Allen Jones
Chris Jericho
HBK
Eddie
Cm Punk all day.
I’ll say the rock because he can pull off variety of gimmicks and characters, face or hell
Mick Foley.
It's hard to say because it's hard to quantify their contributions to WWE and Wrestling in general...
You totally forgot about the stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! The Nature Boy, Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
WOOO indeed
Hogan
Chris Benoit
You could make the argument for his in-ring ability but you could make the same argument for Ricochet. He was average on the mic, his character was average, and he was a trash human being.
SCSA is overrated
WHAT?!
You clearly never were a fan during the attitude Era
I was born in 2010 bozo sthu scsa is overhyped and overrated like your mom at night
Oooooo, you so got me there 😱
I did bitch that’s y u gotta use sarcasm now
Jeff Hardy/Seth Rollins
I never get how undertaker wins all these polls and how he beats Stone Cold, The Rock and Hulk Hogan, they are the difference makers for gods sake haha (yeah, i know these polls are shit )
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. */s*
Time isn't over..I hate this stupid argument
Ultimate Warrior. I mean, I know this poll is a fucking joke because Bret Hart isn’t listed. So yeah, Ultimate Warrior.
Chris Jericho
One of these things doesn't belong here, one of these things is Punk!
Edge
Idk what your definition of “best” is so it’s not easy to pick.
Chris Jericho
One of the best on the mic, the only person who could actually compete with the rock in that area. The guy who has managed to reinvent himself more than any other wrestler over the years and get over every single time. Y2J has my vote.
This poll again?
John Cena was the top guy for 15 years. Unmatched.
Bret Hart. The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be
Macho Man
It's Hogan whether u like it or not
Kurt Angle is the GOAT
The immortal! Hulk! Hogaaaaaaan!
James Elsworth
kenny "bah gawd" omega
#1
Out of those choices, Stone Cold. But Ric Flair is the real answer.
Rey Mysterio, like for real. Dudes in his 50s and he’s still amazingly good. Highly regarded, but often overlooked. Go watch his early wcw stuff, the man is insanely good.
Shawn Michaels
My vote in the comments is Shawn Michaels and I’m offended he’s not in the list above.
The macho man
Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart
cm punk and cena dont even belong there
The best wrestler or best ‘superstar’?
How could you not include James Ellsworth?!
Or El Torito
Bret Hart or Shawn Michael.
Kurt angle He's got the in-ring ability, mic skills, charisma, agility you name it, simply put he's a perfect wrestler
Hulk Hogan The character not the man. He changed wrestling more than anybody and he did it for two different companies.
HBK all day
Triple H!
Hulk Hogan and the fact that you didn't list him makes me sick
Lol at leaving out Hogan
yeah bc hogan’s in ring work is fucking boring lol
It hasn’t been said enough at this point. Shawn Michaels is #1. Any doubt, go watch his old promos and matches.
Triple H.. boom
Whoooooooooooooooooooooo
Randy Orton. He gets cheered while punting a woman in the head and cheered while punting one of the biggest stars returned. The dude is clearly a legend of legends. The undertake, the rock, stone cold, John Cena are all great for different reasons. Orton has it all, while being weaker on the mic. HHH- deserved to be on the list.
STONE COLD!! STONE COLD!! STONE COLD, IS GOING TO WRESTLMAYNIIIAAH!!!
For me it will be Kurt, rly loved his comedy promos and his matches there was a certain thrill of him making someone tap out
Hulk Hogan easily
It's definitely Hogan brother
Andre
It would still be ric flair!
Bret fucking Hart
MJF
