I love Davey Richards, he's the one wrestler that reminds me of Dynamite Kid the most, even more so than Chris Benoit. Still, I don't think anyone will ever be as good as Dynamite Kid, even though my pick for best ever is The Heartbreak Kid I don't think he was ever as good in the ring as Dynamite, nobody comes close in my opinion. His matches against Tiger Mask were ridiculous, they were so good they don't even make sense.

It's rough to put forward Davey Richards when his matches are strictly workrate based. I can't remember who said it on the FB page but no-selling top-rope brainbusters isn't wrestling; it's not my cup of tea either. That said I'd love to see him wrestle Angle, KENTA, Danielson on a bigger stage (even if indy/international tv was great).
Scarily reminds me of Benoit/Dynamite, hopefully doesn't end up like either of them, he looks like he kills himself for the business. Which is great for the 2,000 fans who order the show but man i don't envy his physical health in a few years.

davey's great, but your problem with kicking out of top rope brainbusters is my biggest peeve in ROH, if you watch it's hard to think of more than 1 or 2 guys that actually have finishers over, everyone kicks out of everything

Wow, dombag85 is a Curtain Jerker already! I gotta post more, I'm sick and tired of being a jobber! How many times do I have to post to get Mid Carder status? I want to be a Main Eventer.

I haven't seen the match that Meltzer gave 5 stars yet but from what I have heard of it I don't have high hopes. At least 5 star high hopes. I'll try to go into it with an open mind but people I know with similar tastes as mine whose opinions I trust say it has the usual flaws of lack of selling and that the Briscoes match on the card will be more my taste.

Bret Hart. I can go back and watch any match of his and am amazed at how smooth and crisp he was. No little mistakes, everything was perfect. Punches looked good, kicks looked real, everything had a purpose. He got good matches out of Nash and even Adam Bomb.

Bret Hart and Ric Flair are the two standouts for mine.Apart from that Danielson, Kobashi and Benoit head the rest.

This is really hard to choose but I personally think its Chris Benoit, he is a modern story of a wrestler who got over purely because he was a phenomenal technical wrestler. (If we just look at his wrestling career not personal life)

Ah HBK maybe for me , I enjoy watching him and into his mid 40's and beyond he remained amazing. Bret due to a concussion and his stroke also could of done that , Flair was made a fool of at times in WCW as he got older . Angle amazing even now .Then Taker he just gets better or got better with age , a bit beaten down now . I'll have to think before voting.

It's hard to choose just one but I will. He's not my favourite wrestler of all time, but I think the absolute best is Shawn Michaels.
My favourites are Mr. Perfect, Bret, Austin, Flair, Mysterio, Malenko
