How can Regal be in that list after he gave Goldberg an actual match?

No Arn Anderson. What's the world coming to?!?

Arn Anderson not being on a list, including my own, is why I hate this stuff. I just watched Arn and Windham v El Gigante and Pillman. :lol:

He made Windham look like a jobber. So good.

Arn was great, but he wasn't even the best worker in the horsemen, and maybe not even the 2nd best worker.

Dean Malenko didn't do a lot for me overall, but as a worker, he's really not making anybody else's list?

He would make my list of the greatest worker named Dean, maybe?

How was Bruno as a worker?

Never saw much of him as a kid. Wrasslin wasn't national like today. All I know is what I read in Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

Guys, Benoit hasn't worked in nearly a decade.

Any list that does not have Angle i questionable. I know it is an opinion but the fact is the dude wrestled with a freaking broken neck for several years.

I think these guys can have the best matches with anyone (no matter how bad) and it would be unique each time. If you had to get a 10 minute match out Khali or someone just as bad, I'd trust these guys every time. Especially if it was a feud over several months. Flair and Bret are great, but it would still be the same match after a while.
