Who is the artsiest, most highbrow, heady wrestler to ever grace the ring? Someone who really embodies wrestling being an artform?

very good choice. he's more theatrical, as in having the art of theater as his main direct inspiration, than any other wrestler i can think of, and he does it without slouching on the actual work on the mat. the perfect synthesis.

William Regal had an aristocrat gimmick for the whole of his career and does all the superstitious traditional shit like wiping feet and slapping mats.

That's the point. He's a faggot that is addicted to the smell of his own farts. He embodies the idiotic "smart" mark that thinks that wrestling is some snooty artsy fartsy shit.

maybe not the best "moves", especially as they got older, but they were very good at working the match (faking the fight) to get a reaction from the crowd

So I'm assuming this is considering complete packages. Great ringwork, character work, and, most importantly, genuine audience connection.

It has to be Tanahashi, then. Nobody moves the audience at his will like he does, at least not in the modern era.
Other honorable mentions go to Angle, Austin, Rock, Flair, and Danielson. But Ace is the best.

the "art" of professional wrestling is/was convincing people you wanted to fight each other and then going into the ring and making them believe you were actually fighting in a way that made them care who was going to win
