Who is really the most talented wrestler?

[dlg3000]

Just out of curiosity, who is the most talented wrestler out of each of the rosters: RAW, Smackdown, ECW?

[Chiral]

Raw:
HBK

ECW:
Christian

Smackdown:
Jericho

Can't argue with these picks at all.

It's really hard to gauge these things.

For example, natural talent can be used a lot of ways. Shelton Benjamin, Brock Lesnar, and A-Train had talent.(Albert seems like a weird pick, but he's apparently gentle as all hell in the ring, but at the same time, his stuff looks brutal as hell) They are good at what they do, with varying degrees of flash. Who wins out there?

[The OP]

You have to be more specific. Are you asking who is the best at real wrestling or who is the most entertaining or what?

[Mozenrath]

I guess the hard part is determining which is latent talent, and which is from hard training. If we're going with most skilled, someone like Jamie Noble is high on the list of his fellow wrestlers, but how much of that came natural to him, and how much of it is from busting his ass?

For the veterens

Raw: HBK
SD: Jericho
ECW: Christian

For the new guys...

Raw: MVP
SD: DH Smith
ECW: Shelton Benjamin

chris masters, he clearly has the most talent

[thuschongswing]

In my mind, being a great worker alone doesn't make you an all around talented performer. Talent in the wrestling ring involves not only being able to string a match together efficiently, but it also involves how well you can talk fans into the arena, how much charisma you show in the ring, and your overall ability to make the fans care about the match taking place. It's really about being a complete package instead of being only scientifically sound.

By that logic, I would easily say that Chris Jericho is the most talented guy in the WWE right now.

I've always found assigning a particular label to each to be impossible, especially since as mentioned talent is so subjective and can be used in a lot of ways.

On a related note, though, the people who I am most enjoying on each brand at the moment -

Raw: The Miz
SmackDown: John Morrison
ECW: Zack Ryder

Are you talking about athletic talent, or charisma, I'm not sure.

I am forced to agree here, I mean have you ever seen the masterlock? The amount of skill and training it takes to execute such a complex move is just amazing.

[dlg3000]

Okay, who is the best at actual wrestling? The person doesn't have to be the best talker or the most charismatic, but as far as in-ring skill, who, in your opinion, is the most talented?

For me, it would be HBK and Jericho neck and neck.

Okey dokey.

Hmm, in my opinion, Jericho, Christian, Triple H, or HBK. Kane is up there, along with Undertaker, at what they do.

Out of the younger guys, Cody Rhodes is really up there. He manages to look like he's been in the business a good decade longer than he actually has been. He's just such a natural. Makes Ted look like a clumsy oaf.
