Bret HartLook: 7 (A lack of size, but reasonably handsome, and his singlet and leather jacket/glasses combo gave him a fairly stylish look.)
Promo: 7 (Pretty generic for most of his career, but he showed he could entertain late in his career.)
Workrate: 9 (One of the all-time great technicians, and a good brawler to boot. His lack of an aerial offense was his only significant flaw.)
Total: 23/30
Shawn MichaelsLook: 8 (Movie star good looks in his prime, but like Bret, he gets held back by his lack of size.)
Promo: 9 (One of the all-time great talkers, he could do it all, from serious to brilliant comedy and edginess with DX.)
Workrate: 9 (Not as technically sound as Bret, but better in every other area, while being both more athletic and dramatic in the ring.)
Total: 26/30
Ric FlairLook: 7 (The suits, the aviators, and the robes were all brilliant outside of the ring, but at the end of the day Ric was a guy with bad teeth, old man hair, and a strangely saggy body.)
Promo: 10 (arguably the greatest talkers in wrestling history. In fact, you can remove "wrestling" from that sentence and it remains valid.)
Workrate: 9.5 (Pretty similar in Bret Hart in that he was technically brilliant and a great brawler, but lacked in aerials. Where he surpasses Bret is in his in-ring charisma.)
Total: 26.5/30
Randy SavageLook: 7.5 (Slightly undersized, but solid muscle mass. The beard, the robe, and the glasses have become iconic.)
Promo: 8 (A little bit overrated in promos. Great intensity, but nonsensical and rambling at times.)
Workrate: 8.5 (Very good across the board, but not exceptional in any one area.)
Total: 24/30
Hulk HoganLook: 9.5 (A mountain of a man in his prime. The only thing keeping him from a perfect 10 is the legendary skullet.)
Promo: 9 (Like Savage, he was nonsensical and rambling at times, but he said everything with such intensity and charisma that it didn't matter. It was more about how he said than what he actually said.)
Workrate: 6 (Not a great worker, at least in terms of technical skills, but he was better than most big men, and no one was better at working the crowd.)
Total: 24.5/30
Steve AustinLook: 8 (Good looking guy with a great blue collar look that fit his character flawlessly.)
Promo: 9 (Lacked the eloquence of Flair or HBK, and the charisma of Hogan, but he was still a good speaker who always had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand.)
Workrate: 7.5 (Excellent technician in his time, he evolved into a great brawler after his neck injury. He wasn't a great worker, but he made up for it with his in-ring charisma.)
Total: 24.5/30
EdgeLook: 7 (Kind of homely and extremely skinny, he actually had less muscle mass than at least one of the females on the roster at the time of his peak [Beth Phoenix]. His strong points were that he had a great set of rockstar hair, and he was fairly tall.)
Promo: 8 (Another overrated talker. He was good, but never great.)
Workrate: 8.5 (Great overall worker, with no really noticeable flaws. Technical? Check. Brawler? Double check. Aerials? Good enough. In-ring charisma? Yep.)
Total: 23.5/30
Kurt AngleLook: 8 (Movie star looks, and while he's only of average height [5'10", legit], he always had an excellent physique. The red, white, and blue motif was brilliant.)
Promo: 8.5 (Absolutely brilliant comedy in his prime, and he does serious pretty well, too.)
Workrate: 9 (Smarks hate him because of his alleged lack of psychology, but that is his only weakness inside the ring. A great overall performer who loves to throw in an exciting high spot every once in a while.)
Total: 25.5/30
The RockLook: 9.5 (I think it's fair to say he has movie star good looks
, a tall 6'3", and while a little doughy early in his career, he improved his body to near elite level.)
Promo: 10 (Possibly the single most charismatic human being I've ever witnessed in any area of life. Nobody in wrestling history could control the crowd like the Rock could.)
Workrate: 7 (Good brawler, and a passable technician, but that's it. Like Hogan, his real draw inside the ring was his charisma.)
Total: 26.5/30
Chris BenoitLook: 6 (Short and not exactly a GQ cover waiting to happen, but he was very rugged, which fit his character very well.)
Promo: 4 (Yikes... As a face, his lack of charisma was awful. He was much better as a soft-spoken, arrogant heel, especially during his time with the Horsemen.)
Workrate: 10 (Arguably the greatest technician in wrestling history, he was also an excellent brawler, and he wasn't shy about flying through the air, especially early in his career.)
Total: 20/30
BatistaLook: 10 (Maybe the most jaw-dropping physique in wrestling history in his prime, he also had good looks, and a lot of style in his wrestling attire and wardrobe.)
Promo: 6 (Never close to great on the mic, but always passable.)
Workrate: 5 (Solid brawler and power worker, but not much else. Lacked the in-ring charisma of Hulk and Rock.)
Total: 21/30
Chris JerichoLook: 7.5 (Pretty boy good looks, albeit not quite on prime HBK's level. He also lacked the ruggedness of prime HBK. A little on the short side, but he was completely jacked in his prime.)
Promo: 9 (Brilliant comedian who does seriousness extremely well, too. Very similar to Kurt Angle, only slightly better.)
Workrate: 9 (Another performer who was excellent across the board. No major flaws in his in-ring ability.)
Total: 25.5/30
