OT: for the wrestling fans out there

Two parter:

Which wrestler do you think had/has the best arsenal of moves? Which wrestler had/has the worst arsenal of moves?

In your objective opinion who were the top 3 most popular wrestlers ever?

Top 3 most popular wrestlers to me
1. Hulk Hogan
2. The Rock
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin

I would say Undertaker had the best moves. He had three finishing moves: Tombstone Piledriver, Last Ride, and Chokeslam. As far as non finishers he had the boot, he had the move where he would tightwalk the rope and jump down and hit the opponent. He had the submission move (I forget what it’s called) that Triple H tapped out to at one of the Wrestlemanias, etc.

The Rock is a close second. The Rock had two high quality finishing moves, The Rock Bottom and the People’s Elbow. He had the sharpshooter, DDT, spinebuster, etc.

I think Stone Cold had the worst arsenal of moves. He had his finishing move the Stone Cold Stunner, which I personally thought wasn’t that good. He had the spinebuster, suplex, but not too much after that.

Opinions?

Well... this is all subjective as well. Because do you want the entertainment factor of the move... ie: jumping off the ropes, flips, etc. Or you want something that looks brutal.

Because one move that always looked brutal was Goldbergs "spear".... granted it was just a form tackle... but it was a highlight tackle every time. But again... that was his only move. Or Hitman's chin music with the leg kick. Or a good old big show Choke slam...

Then the actobatics of something (granted early moves) Jimmy Supa Fly Snuka. Or macho mans flying elbow.

Also the Diamond Cutter by DDP!

But some guys have kind of both.... Lesner's F5...

Anyways... this brings back memories... .nice work.

@crsm- yes you’re right, very subjective. Actually with Goldberg the Jackhammer was his finisher. The spear set up the Jackhammer.

I think the wrestlers with the best arsenal are probably in Ring of Honor, New Japan, or any of the Mexican federations. Vince McMahon tends to favor big guys who are restricted to smaller arsenals of moves. Guys like Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman mostly wrestle with punches and clotheslines. Best arsenal of moves for me would be Ultimo Dragon or Kenny Omega. These guys can wrestle across multiple styles. Velveteen Dream, Ricochet, and some of the other young talent are developing large arsenals.

The most popular wrestlers in my opinon
1. Ric Flair
2. Undertaker
3. Stone Cold
