1. RIC FLAIR (he may have slowed a bit, but he is so
consistently excellent and his aura is such that when he
does make a mistake, it is easily overlooked);
2. DAVEY BOY SMITH (without a doubt athletically the
best superstar in the business. I would be surprised if
he isn't number one within two years);
3. BRUISER BRODY (limited in many ways, but
nobody gives an aura of violent realism more, and in
Japan he rarely has anything but a great match);
4. BOB ORTON JR. (an extremely gifted performer but
often must be held back for fear of overshadowing his
opponents);
5. DYNAMITE KID (has lost some stamina with his
added muscle, thus his work rate has dropped, but in
many ways he's still about the best pound-for-pound);
6. TERRY GORDY (I can't say enough positive things
about his ability and work rate, but he's been known to
sluff off on occasions);
7. BUTCH REED (phenomenal strength and great
athletic skills to go along with it, now that he's gotten to
where he controls heat well, there's no stopping him);
8. CHAVO GUERRERO (almost everything he does is
flawless);
9. PAUL ORNDORFF (a superior athlete and wrestler
who often doesn't get to show his best because of his
mostly weak WWF baby-faced opposition, but for some
reason is a very boring wrestler when in Japan);
10. ADRIAN ADONIS (would be No. 1 if he was in any
kind of condition to wrestle in singles, but his 300-
pound current frame limits him).

This has to be North American only (no Tsuruta, Tiger Mask, etc).
LOL@the bold. Flair was already in decline in 1985. and here he is, in 20-fucking-11, blading and wresting in a t-shirt in TNA.
That Davey Boy comment is actually kind of sad.
Butch Reed? BOB ORTON? C'mon, Dave.
