How would you rank these stars in order on an all time list?

[psychokiller]

Very random thread of the day.

Batista
Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Daniel Bryan
Kurt Angle
Mick Foley
Randy Orton
Sting
Triple H
Ultimate Warrior

[Mozenrath]

Obviously, this is pretty subjective, but here's mine.

Daniel Bryan is doing some of the best work of his career and isn't even done yet. If he can put in another solid few years, he's my number one.

Mick Foley is one of my all-time favorites. I could watch Mind Games like every other day and I wouldn't get sick of it for ages.

Triple H sometimes tries my patience, but when he's on, he's fantastic. Triple H vs Daniel Bryan is one of my all-time favorite Mania matches, for instance.

Chris Jericho. Always changing it up, different eras, and says some really dumb shit, but he delivers when the time comes.

Kurt Angle is sometimes kind of overrated, but his highs are incredible, and he's been in some of the funniest angles. A treat when he's not making me roll my eyes.

Sting is one of those guys with a real spotty record for quality, but he's also one of the all-time best faces. Would rank higher if more dependable.

CM Punk. Talk about spotty records. When he was great, he was real great, but he left me cold plenty of times, too. A shame, really.

Batista. Ton of fun, though I got really tired of some of his face runs. He was a very fun heel, though.

Randy Orton. Same as some of the others. Spotty, but with some real heights. Plays a real dickhead very well.

Ultimate Warrior had to be in last place, because while WM 6 is one of the all-time biggest match ups, his peak was so short, and he just has so few classic matches as a result. Also just not my cup of tea, really.

[Urethra Franklin]

I think we can all come up with some very different orders depending on criteria and personal preference here, but I’ll give it a shot and I will go backwards.

10. Ultimate Warrior - The worst worker of the bunch and his window is smaller than basically everybody else’s here.

9. Big Dave - I like Big Dave a lot and some of his character work was outstanding, but not the best in-ring guy by any means.

8. Randy Orton - Underrated worker and incredibly competent, if not unspectacular, but I don’t think he stacks up better than who’s left here.

7. Sting - Competent worker, decent promo and was insanely over.

6. Mick Foley - One of the greatest promos ever and an incredibly charismatic guy, but a lot of his in-ring work just wasn’t to my taste.

5. CM Punk - Excellent promo and a terrific wrestler.

4. Triple H - I think people underrate Hunter because of the way he was booked and he’s unfairly maligned for his connections. Did he benefit from nepotism? Absolutely, nobody will argue that, but at his peak, he was a tremendous all-around performer. And there’s the longevity, too.

3. Chris Jericho - I can’t think of anybody who was able to evolve over the years like Jericho has. He constantly changed with the times, rather than falling back on what got him over in the first place. Obviously, he’s a great in-ring performer and one of the best promos of all-time, but I think what makes him so special is that fearlessness to take chances with his gimmicks

2. Daniel Bryan - Maybe the most technically gifted wrestler in modern history, he became an excellent promo and is super charismatic.

1. Kurt Angle - I think without a shred of hyperbole, peak Kurt Angle might have been the greatest wrestler of all-time. He had it all.

[Thunderbolt]

In order of how much they've entertained me overall vs how much they've annoyed me(on my TV screen).

1) Warrior
2) Mick
3) HHH
4) Orton
5) Kurt
6) Jericho
7) Batista
8) CM Punk
9) Sting
10) Daniel Bryan

I'm probably the only who who will list them in this order. Warrior is my definite #1 and Bryan my definite last place, the ones in between are much harder. I didn't see Mick's TNA stuff, I'm mostly judging him by his highest highs here.

Warrior's promos from the early 90s are just too goddamn entertaining. Glorious madness.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

Just in order of preference...

CM Punk
Mick Foley
Daniel Bryan
Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho
Sting
Batista
Ultimate Warrior
Triple H
Randy Orton

Yeah that works

[wgdj]

This is mostly preference with a small amount of logic and reason thrown in. It's important to note that I'm really only a fan of about 1988-2000 or so, and my knowledge of the RA and current eras is much more limited.

With that said...

#1: Ultimate Warrior
#2: Sting
#3: Chris Jericho
#4: Mick Foley
#5: Triple H
#6: Kurt Angle
#7: CM Punk
#8: Daniel Bryan
#9: Randy Orton

Taking everything into account... preference, impact, character, etc.

HHH
Foley
Angle
Warrior
Punk
Bryan
Jericho
Batista
Orton

The reason I have Warrior so high is because he’s such an iconic character. He was never the best pure wrestler but he had everything they look for. Guys like him will never be forgotten and his impact on the business was massive.

This, he was only on top for a super short period, but if you ask someone to draw a wrestler, he's one of the archetypes people use, the guys been parodied thousands of times.

[rnrk supports BLM]

1. Ultimate Warrior - Among the top handful of most iconic stars of the '80s wrestling boom, and still in many ways one of the definitive figures who's shaped the image we have of what pro wrestlers look and sound like.

2. Sting - One of the hottest stars of WCW at its peak, and that peak was one of pro wrestling's hottest periods. To this day, easily the biggest American wrestling star of the last several decades who made it to the top and stayed there without any help from WWE.

3. Mick Foley - Completely redefined hardcore wrestling and brought it into the mainstream, the effects of which are still shaping the product to this day. Also murdered himself to create one of the most iconic images of the Attitude Era. Twice. In the same match.

4. Triple H - It may have taken more inertia and coattail-riding than talent to make him one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable wrestling stars of the 21st century, but he's still one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable wrestling stars of the 21st century.

5. CM Punk - For better or worse, redefined the modern era of wrestling by breaking open the floodgates for indie wrestlers to make it to WWE with their existing personas largely intact, and ushered in a new era of kayfabe built around internet gossip and shoot-y "insider" terminology.

6. Kurt Angle - Probably the best all-around performer on this list, and it says something about how much that's worth when he still doesn't quite make the top half. Still, one of the biggest success stories of a legit athlete crossing over into pro wrestling, and one of the quickest rises to stardom of anybody who isn't already a hulking brute.

7. Chris Jericho - Talent and career comparable to Angle, comes in just below for his more conventional background and ascent into a main eventer.

8. Batista - Batista's so weird to rate as a pro wrestler right now, because he's arguably the biggest star on his list, but he did that after leaving WWE (twice), and has since come back only for what looks like it'll be his one final match. And when ignoring the Drax-sized elephant in the room, his career peaked at being the Lex Luger to John Cena's Bret Hart, and the guy who didn't merit getting to star in the Chaperone.

9. Daniel Bryan - CM Punk 2.0, rode to the top off the other one's success by virtue of appealing to the same fanbase without being too much of a dick to sour management on him. Technically his career highs outshone Punk's, and he's unquestionably the better in-ring worker, but I think Bryan's going to be remembered as the less significant of the two, ultimately.

10. Randy Orton - He's that guy who's been in or near the main event pretty much forever, and he's had just about every accolade imaginable thrown at him, multiple times. He's just competent enough it doesn't feel laughable that he's been given so much, but that's really the best that can be said for Randy. RKO memes are funny, I guess. He's pretty much exactly how Roman Reigns would've turned out if there was, like Cena, an actually-charismatic star that Vince was willing to get behind rising to the top at the exact same time as him.
