>>13635420I guess it depends what you mean by top tier performer. You only listed 5 guys. Yeah sure, I wouldn't consider Sting in the top 5 of all time. But he would make a top 50 list. Maybe even top 25. I don't have a list handy, but you get the idea. Among thousands and thousands of wrestlers all time, Sting is among the top 50 (or say top 100 if you want, fine, same conclusion).
I think we're splitting hairs here. Sting was an all time great because he will be remembered as one of the top stars of his day. Most of today's wrestlers will be forgotten and supplanted with the next big thing. Just my thoughts on the matter. And for the record, I'm not the same anon you were arguing with, and I have been watching wrestling since the mid 1980s.
