Worst POUND-FOR-POUND Wrestler.

[steamboat1]

Chris Benoit.....



I kid, Snitsky by far.

[Bogle McNeep]

Zak Gowan. One leg huh? You'd never have noticed. Is he dating Paul McCartney yet?

[EvilShadow76]

John Cena. I do believe he could quite possibly be the worst wrestler ever. At least for what he is anyways (supposed to be the #1 guy.)

[Brother Ike: Thread Killer]

If were talking about right now i would go with the boogieman

but if we are talking about EVER i would go with Eric watts. Not just was he a horrible wrestler he also had no look or charisma. At least Boogie had the last two things intact.

You know, wrestling is kinda fake so it's a bit like asking "Who is the best manufactuer of candy, Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp?" based on the 'Willy Wonka' movies.

Honestly, I don't see how you can be the best at something thats scripted so at the same time you can't really be the worst.

[DownWithGravity]

Debra McMichaels. She was given a championship and had the work ethic of the women on "WifeSwap" who change places with Type-A personalities. Pound for Pound.

Weak argument.

Kahli followed closely by Cena, Miz, and Vis

[FHgrad99]

I'd have to put Sylvan in this arguement. That blown dropkick hurt my image of him.

How? They're not WRESTLERS because WRESTLING doesn't really exist in that sense because it's not real. You can be the tallest, shortest, fatest, smallest, most popular, least popular, baldest, hariest and ugliest but you can't really be the best or worst wrestler because wrestling in the sense that we all mean it (aka the WWE sense) is fictional. It's like saying that Silvester Stalone was a better boxer than Clubber Lang, despite the fact that we might all like to say "Oh he's such a great wrestler" the truth is that as far as sports entertainment is concerned, nobody is the best or the worst. How can they be?

If it was real the only way to judge who was the best and worst would be to look at win/loss records of all the superstars. We can't do that so what other benchmark or template do we impose on the industry to judge who ranks at the top and who comes at the bottom of the "Best/Worst Wrestler" league table?

[hotrod]

Mark henry anyone?

Sylvester Stallone is a better actor than Mr. T.

Argument still weak. (By the way, Gene Wilder made a better Wonka than Johnny Depp.)

[DownWithGravity]

People saying "Mark Henry" or "Khalli" or whatnot...it flies in the face of the Pound-For-Pound aspect of this thread. Just reminding you folks of that...and that the real answer to the question is Debra McMichaels.

Skill in wrestling is your ability to make a match entertaining and make the audience care about what's going on in the ring. Being scripted doesn't make a damn bit of difference. It's painfully obvious the skill difference between wrestlers when it comes to their work in the ring. There's a reason not just anybody can do it. It takes a combination of timing, physicality, storytelling, creativity, AND acting. It's not like coreography where you get multiple chances to get something right. When you're in the ring you get one chance to nail something or you look foolish.

You have NO idea what you're talking about, and your logic is so flawed it's ridiculous. Acting in movies isn't real either, but would you say some actors have more ability than others? I would.

Okay, so the greatest wrestlers of the last 20 years are Hogan and Austin as nobody else had the "ability to make a match entertaining and make the audience care about what's going on in the ring" as much as those two?

If that's the criteria then I'll be happy to conceed the point.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

The Boogeyman or Mark Henry ( I' m sure he has more fat weight than Viscera ).

[Deleted]

Why is THIS the first thing that came to mind?

[Crappler El 0 M]

Giant Gonzalez probably wins followed by Paulo Silva, Khali, PN News, Mantaur
