None.
Although at times I despise it, when the WWE is on the ball it's easily the best wrestling company in the world.

Storytelling and booking-wise, CHIKARA. Sure, they're not on TV and they only do maybe two shows a month, but the fact is they give everyone on the roster a shot AND they manage to book good feuds month in and month out for everyone, from the curtain jerkers to the main event.

PWG had a great 2011, but due to the amount of shows they do I wouldnt put them above WWE. If PWG did an ROH schedule I feel they would currently, maybe have a chance at being my current favourite company. I wouldnt say any wrestling company was better than WWE, they had some really compelling stuff (namely Punk's shoot, Christian title win, DB cash in etc).
ROH really lost my interest in late 2011, TNA is TNA and I dont really give time to DGUSA or Evolve

I don't know. To be honest, I think I'm more of a WWE fan than a wrestling fan.

I don't know. To be honest, I think I'm more of a WWE fan than a wrestling fan. Hey, at least you admit that there's a difference. That said, another vote for CHIKARA.

I'll third Chikara. They are everything about wrestling done right.

I wish I could see Chikara judging from what I see here.

I would say PWG, but they only do 12/13 shows a year.
I haven't seen a lot of Chikara in the past year with the exception of King of Trios and High Noon. Which were great shows.

PWG and CHIKARA.
Don't care how many shows PWG does, really. The shows are good.

Chikara is by far the best promotion going. They just do everything right. I would say PWG is a very entertaining second.

PWG. The only company that does wrestling for the sake of wrestling right. (unlike EVOLVE/DGUSA) Their monthly show format is apart of what makes it so, making it easier to follow. Also this means there are barley any "b-shows". (unlike ROH, man there is nothing worse than a b-show from ROH)
I've tried getting into CHIKARA, and while they have some good wrestlers and put on some good matches, most of the roster is made of students and it's pretty obvious that they are. It just takes me out of the matches.

Depends in what sense.
Entertainment wise I would go with ROH. I never have to worry about logic problems with their product and you can always see some fine wrestling action. Granted, they have their problems too, what promotion doesn't, after all, but I'd say they would probably be my favorite presently.

Chikara IMO. It's unfortunate that it likely won't ever "take off" in popularity. If it managed to make it onto cable television I think a lot of casual fans would enjoy it.

PWG is closest, I think. But WWE just has something for everybody, which is something that most indies fall into the traps of not providing. They're for a niche audience, when you really think about it.

Chikara. Even with their injury plague year, they've still had a lot of great times and cohesive storytelling.
Between Green Ant going on the Flex Express and getting Lex Luger's blessing in his feud versus the giant thawed out Viking Tursas, to Eddie Kingston's feud with Claudio and march to the title, to the King Of Trios this year, an all around amazing show 3 nights long, to the coming out of Archibald Peck and his Canadian Years debacle that got him into the Young Lions Cup, Chikara is full of fun stories, colorful characters, and quality wrestling. What's not to love?
