Everybody is always wanting to look their best inside the ring, as that is ultimately the only way a wrestler can climb to the top of the mountain and become a main event player. However, the sport is also about teamwork, as that is the only way that the entire industry improves on the whole.
Certain wrestlers can be extremely selfish inside the ring, always looking to help themselves look great, sometimes at the expense of others. However, that isn’t the case for everybody as certain wrestlers will go out of their way to help make their opponents look fantastic, which often helps the product overall from a fan perspective.
10/10 Natalya
Natalya is one of the best women’s wrestlers of all time from a technical standpoint, and while her character may not have always been the most exciting, she is very giving. She can work as a babyface or a heel, which has allowed WWE to put her in various positions on the card to benefit others.
Inside the ring, she has consistently worked hard to make her opponents look brilliant, which has included training members of the roster in her own time. She is someone that simply wants the best for the women’s division overall, and that is a goal she has achieved.
9/10 Ricky Steamboat
Ricky Steamboat truly was the ultimate babyface, and that allowed him to have compelling feuds against anybody as he was always able to draw emotions from the crowd. Inside the ring, Steamboat was smooth and could match well with anybody which allowed for engaging matches.
He was never someone who focused on backstage politics or trying to make himself look better than others, which he could easily have done due to his skills. Instead, Steamboat would help to enhance his opponents, putting them over with his abilities to make the matches engaging and competitive.
8/10 Kofi Kingston
Whether he has been working in the mid-card, the tag team division, or the main event scene, Kofi Kingston has always elevated those he works with. Kingston just enjoys being in the ring and having this job, and that’s something that shines through in all of his work.
He puts a lot of effort into making his angles compelling for fans, and to do that he needs his opponents to seem credible. This is often why he will sell so much, and why he ultimately took the gamble as an established star to form The New Day, because he wanted to elevate two other wrestlers.
7/10 Christian Cage
Christian Cage is often an underrated wrestler when it comes to his singles career, and a big reason for that is that he was often focusing on making others look good. Cage is an amazing wrestler, and that has been the case throughout his career whether in the tag team division or as a singles star.
That is something that has become a great trait for him as his matches have always been competitive, which is because he wants the other person to look good. He also doesn’t mind being foolish and embarrassing himself if it’s for the benefit of others, which is why he’s so beloved.
6/10 Bryan Danielson
Bryan Danielson might have been a top main event player wherever he has worked in wrestling, but he is also one of the most unselfish people. The American Dragon simply enjoys competing in the ring and has a love for the sport that means winning all of the time isn’t something he cares about.
Danielson is an elite performer that can work a variety of styles, and he will happily give all of his opponents a lot of the matches as he will sell and then build from that point. Toward the end of his WWE career, he went out of his way to work with talent such as Drew Gulak, showcasing just how hard he works to help other people.
5/10 Mick Foley
Mick Foley is one of the most beloved wrestlers in the business, and the reason that other people don’t have bad things to say about him is that he worked hard to always make them look good inside the ring. He was clever at putting over his rivals in promos to ensure fans always knew how tough of a task he would have when facing them.
Then when it came to his matches Foley didn’t have a problem putting people over, and even if he was winning the Hardcore Legend would make them look good, which often included taking crazy bumps to push other people.
4/10 Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair can sometimes be criticized for the fact that she is always working in the main event scene, picking up consistent victories but the fact is she always makes her opponents look brilliant. Flair might often come out on top, but before she gets her arm raised the Queen will draw fans in to believe she is going to be beaten.
The competitive matches that she has with people help to raise the profiles of her opponents. She’s made the likes of Ronda Rousey and Naomi bring out a different side of themselves, and the fact she demands people step up their own game when facing her instantly helps them.
3/10 Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio has an in-ring style that simply works well against anybody, whether it be a monster or another high-flying star, and that means can give any type of wrestler one of their best matches. As an elite-level babyface, he can command a crowd like few can, and that’s something that helps his opponents.
Mysterio is very unselfish inside the ring and will often take crazy bumps to get the other person over, even if it’s just a television match. That is a great quality that has served him well, and is why so many people want to work against him.
2/10 Jake Roberts
Jake Roberts is a talent who could have dominated the main event scene as a World Champion throughout his career, but that isn’t the way that he operated. Instead, the Hall Of Famer was always concentrating on telling the most compelling stories possible whether that was from his promos or the matches he was in.
Roberts knew how to get the best out of any opponent to ensure that audiences would be drawn into what they were doing, and that meant that not only did he look good, but so did the people he was sharing the ring with.
1/10 Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho is one of the most creative and entertaining wrestlers of all time, and he has always been a fan favorite whether as a babyface or a heel. A big reason for that is because audiences know that his rivalries will be engaging and enjoyable as he always gives his opponent something.
Throughout his WWE career, in particular, Jericho worked hard to put others over and make his opponents look as impressive as possible. Jericho always focuses on giving his opponents something in any rivalry, whether it is in promos or matches, and that is ultimately his greatest trait.
