Best Technical wrestler of all time? Best Submission?

Question

It has been long disputed, Hart, Benoit, Angle, Crossface, ankle lock, sharpshooter and more, but who do you really think deserves to be hailed as the greatest of our time, which submission was like no other? Based solely on skill, not personality not your preference, who do you think was a "smart wrestler" who do you think deserves the honor, add reason why

Chris Benoit - Truely a man's man, when he got in the ring he told a story, he could make doink lookgood. H e caculated all his moves, and sold them well, comparing the move on how it would affect in real life, all his moves were well though out, and he honored the legend of the Dungeon, being probaly the most gifted graduate of the great Stu, passion is the thing that makes a match from a reagularb one to a 5-star, and every single one of his moves was WM worthy, a true athlete respected by all, the world will never forget him may him and his young family rest in peace

Crossface would be mine, so much grit was put in that move and the execution was so dramatic, the crowd on thier fet to see if the hands would connect, the arena grew electric at it's sight, during its time the sharpshooter was great, but with Benoit as one of its last innovators its prestige might of lowered when looked on in the same light as the CCF

Oh, of couse the Iceman Malenko, and the Figure four, how could I forget!!!

Answer 1

The best technical wrestler of all time, well in my lifetime, would have to be Chris Benoit. I am talking about his skill strictly, not what he did to his family. I think he was a very good wrestler, and the crippler crossface was on of the best. He was a strong, dominate man, and had great in ring technicality. He was the superstar that made everyone else look good, but he was the one who shined.

Answer 2

okay great question i say angle all the way becuz from the moment he first entered the ring he was great and he had passion apleanty a law WM19 wrestleing a man of brocks size who was inexperienced and dangerous rather than backing off and possibly saving his career and his life he still went through with the match and though he never won the main event at mania every match he had at wm is a great match and his ability to help out guys like eddie,rey,benoit,stone cold,taker,rock,and samoa joe is amazing and i dont mean help by making them good i mean all his feuds have put guys in the main event and even if they already were it made them greater and kurt is also the only olympian for wrestling in wrestling so he has the talent, the charisma, the physique kurt is the best besides ric flair and lou thesz and could out wrestle both of them he makes this job easy and even though hes only wrestled 10 years theres no denien hes already a legend now onto the ankle lock this move is a jujistu move that really is tuff to do and tuff to get out of and while others have used it angle made it famous just the pure power and pressure he puts on that ankle would make anyone tap and if u dont believe count everyone whos tapped to angle including benoit and taker(outside of a match) kurt showed me that when i try i can do anything and he is a world class all american wrestler and person and i hope i can at least be face to face with him someday but bret and chris sorry but hte winner is Kurt friggen Angle oh its true its damn true!

Answer 3

Best Technical Wrestler: Chris Benoit
Best Submission Wrestler: Kurt Angle
Best Submission Hold: The Figure-Four Leglock

Answer 4

Ahh, the old "whose the most technical wrestler" debate. Though hard to determine because there were so many greats, It really boils down to a three way tie between Dean, Brett, and Kurt. Pretty much anyone associated with the four horseman could be in this catagory. My personal preference is Brett Hart. Nothing against the other two, but Brett was the complete wrestler. Also, honorable mention goes to Ken shamrock durring his short stint in the WWE. Him and Dan Severn showed that MMA fighter make good transitions into the WWE. Its too bad their run was so short.

Best hold? Well,in my opinion, it is a tie between the Sharpshooter/Scorpion Deathlock and the Tazmission. Brett made alot of people lose matches with this hold! And its one of the legit holds that actualy hurt in real life. The Tazzmission is good because its virtualy inescapable. Very solid hold.
Honorable Mention
Crossface-Like the camel clutch, but add in the fact that your arm feels like its going to come out of its socket. And Chris didnt look like he was going easy on the hold either!
Stump puller- Yeah, you remember this one? Well, If you were put in it you would! Imagine...Doink was tapping people out! lol
Figure-four- Though im still researching the validity of this hold, You gotta admit, Flair had alot of people tapping when he put his opponents in it!

Answer 5

Definitely either Benoit or Bret Hart

Best Submission is Crippler Crossface

Answer 6

Chris Benoit is the best Technical wrestler ever.
Cliper Crossface by Benoit is one of the best submession moves of all the time. Bret Hart and Kurt Angle are the very best of this business but there was only one Benoit.

Answer 7

Chris Benoit - Cross Face

Answer 8

Bret Hart cause he has more moves than the other two great technicals!

Angle is more smart because when he saw that he can't follow the WWE schedule he jumped on TNA..

Either the figure four leg lock or Crossface

Answer 9

Chris Benoit is the best.


Best Submission: The Ankle Lock (My personal finisher.)

Answer 10

ita tie between bret hart and the late great chris benoit there owen hart tribute match is classic either one the sharpshotter or the crossface the opponent would always end up tapping out
