Hulk Hogan was good but I like more old school wrestling. I like the Original Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher.

Hulk Hogan has definately drawn the biggest crowds ever in history in sports and entertainment. I have to admit that he is until today, the most famous and loved superstar in the history of wrestling.
But here your asking, is he the greatest wrestler ever?? My answer is no. Of course he had put up a lot phenomenal, amazing and exiciting matches in his whole career but I personally feel he is not the greatest WRESTLER of all time.
The greatest wrestler in my view is The Undertaker. Undertaker has been in the WWE for nearly 17 years now, without firings or contract expirings. He has defeated many major superstars such as Hogan, Snuka, Rock, Austin, Kane, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, Cena, Randy, HHH, HBK and much more. He has an impressive undeafeated streak at WrestleMania, which is currently 14-0. Even above forty years old, his speed and agility is sometimes better than the some of the younger stars today. And after 16 years of dominance, Undertaker continues his dominance by winning this years Royal Rumble, and advancing to the main event at WrestleMania, challenging Batista for the World title and putting his streak on the line, the stakes can't get any higher than that.
Will the DeadMan be 15-0 and the champion by the end of WrestleMania? I hope so. Or will 80,000 fans in Detroit and millions around the globe witness the end of the streak?
Hope this helped you get your answer, it was all to remind that The Undertaker is the greatest wrestler of all time.

Hulk Hogan has great mike skills but has no real wrestling ability. 'Taker has passable ring ability and decent mike skills but he only gets pushed because he's friends with Vince and he's a veteran and apparently being on the roster a long time is enough to bridge the talent gap. Bret Hart is sorta the opposite of Hogan, tremendous in ring talent but passable mike skills. IMHO the best of all time are:
1. Chris Benoit (he is vastly underused by WWE)
2. Ric Flair
3. Kurt Angle
4. Bret Hart
5. HBK
6. Chris Jericho
7. Austin
8. HHH
9. The Rock
10. Hogan

He was an original and put wrestling on the map. Most wrestlers back in the day couldn't do what they do today so in his time, yes he was the best.
His mic skills were/are incredible and still to this day may be the best of all time.
Combining those two skills (wrestlig and mic) These are my top 5;
1. Hulk Hogan
2. Brett Hart
3. Kurt Angle
4. Rick Flair
5. HHH
Undertaker, Rock, Steve Austin, HBK, Piper, Dusty Rhodes and Andre the Giant amongst others are also in the leagueof true greats.
The next "great" will be none other than Kennedy! Terrific mic skills (the best atm on wwe) and very convincing in the ring. If he can be as good a face as he is heel he'll go a long way in the business.

Hands down, Hogan is the best. No one else can get the emotion and energy out of a crowd like hogan has and still does. There are great wrestlers now, but are we still going to be talking about them 20 years from now like we are with Hulk Hogan?

Hogan couldn't wrestle. Bret Hart is the great wrestler ever.

Maybe the most well known but I wouldn't say he's the greatest ever. If You go by Accomplishments it would have to be Ric Flair. If you are judging wrestling abilities either Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit. The greatest fan favorites definitly The Rock or Stone Cold.
I would have to say the greatest of all time is Ric Flair

not even close. Bret Hart was better. Shawn Michaels is better, Stone Cold Steve Austin is better, The Rock is better, Kurt Angle is better. Hogan was a waste

think about it this way-- If you go up to the average 60 year old guy and ask him who Flair or any other wrestler is he can't name any besides Hulk Hogan. Whether you little kids like it or not, u wouldnt be watching wrestling or even have this section if Hogan didn't put wrestling on the map.
