Making a case for who is the "best" in pro wrestling is even more subjective than in other sports, since wrestling is a worked sport. Best at what? In a technical sense? On the microphone? At drawing money? Several of those are mutually exclusive.
From a technical standpoint, Lou Thesz said Hulk Hogan wouldn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch, yet almost no one in wrestling history was a bigger draw or more charismatic. From a technical standpoint, Satoru Sayama (original Tiger Mask) and the Dynamite Kid and Thesz were as good as anyone in wrestling history. But they didn't talk like Flair or Hogan or The Rock.
If drawing power is the most important factor, then Jim Londos has to be near the top of the list, maybe even number one. El Santo and Buddy Rogers and Andre the Giant would also need to be very high on the list.
Trying to determine the "best" pro wrestler depends entirely on what an individual thinks is important in a worked sport.
