How would you rank these 3 in terms of in-ring work: Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, & Chris Benoit

I missed most of AJ's run in TNA and that's a huge hole when comparing the three because I've seen like 98% of Bryan and Benoit's careers :francis:

That said, last time I made a ranking I had Bryan ahead of both, then Benoit and then AJ.

Also aj and Bryan are leaps more in ring charismatic then Chris and sold better then he could

Chris was a technician but was all arms when it came to brawling. Aj and Bryan have some of the best kicks of all time up there with Kenta, low ki, and syxx
Oh nah, nygga..Benoit is one of the best sellers in history..you acting like AJ can sell like Benoit? Macho, Rey are better sellers than Benoit but not many more are leaving him in the dust...the first MITB match was masterful.

I never got the Benoit love. Looking back at his work i like his njpw stuff the most. Probably because of the level of workers he was in there with. I much prefer Eddie and Dean to him:manny:

Im not saying snot wasn't a good seller, he was
But he wasn't as good as Bryan or aj. Aj entire Japan run showed how good he could sell especially against guys like nakamura. His matches with cena were a class so were his boys with roman. Him versus Daniels vs joe shows he's one of the best sellers let alone performers ever

Bryan is one of the best underdog faces of all time (which is why I hated how they tried to mini super man his push sometimes but that's a different story)

Benoit is at best against guys on his level or weaker but against big men he can't sell like the other two. Against lucha fires he's good but guys like Eddie/Rey dictate everything and sell matche sbetter.

Unless it's ground and pound or that one diving head butt, Benoit wasn't anywhere on the level of aj or Bryan when it came to selling his offense or selling being beat down. Matter of a fact I'd argue I'd rather have angle or Jericho over Benoit let alone Bryan or styles.

Benoit
AJ
DB

Benoit's shyt was just way too crisp and legit looked like he was fukking dudes up. A level of viciousness that I just don't get from AJ or DB. I admittedly haven't seen enough of DB outside of his WWE run but from what I've seen I like AJ's work a lot more.

AJ first because he's the smoothest and most versatile of the three...

I'll go Bryan second because he can do everything Benoit can do...adds a bit more personality and more versatility with his kicks and legs

Benoit third because although he beats the other two in high pace frenetic, viciousness, style and makes wrestling look more realistic than the other two as a performer of staged theatrics... his style was more niche
