So here is the question.....

In ring work STRICTLY. So we are talking move sets, psychology, selling, bumping, etc.

Don't give a crap about gimmick, dont care about ring entrances, or anything else.

WWE and TNA guys exluded from consideration.

Who is your top 5?

My totally biased answers. If there was WWF/E guys allowed it'd look different but with the caveat, it is:

1. Kobashi
2. Misawa
3. Tanahashi
4. Suzuki
5. Okada

really good list, but not a single American cracks the top 5? Then again, those 5 are really good.

I am going to add mine as well, was just curious for a sampling of others before I did to see the differences....

The only Americans I considered adding were Angle, Bret and HBK, but since you said no WWE guys, I coudn't think of anyone else in North America that deserved to be over them.

Fair enough. Didnt mean to be critical at all. I am very interested in the various opinions of board regulars...
