Who is/was the greatest martial artist in wrestling history?

Shamrock in his prime would destroy just about any wrestler that ever lived in a shoot fight. Even Brock, who would probably get one of those chicken legs snatched up.

But there is one guy......

Billy Robinson.

Catch Wrestling is an age old martial art that has been pretty much forgotten about. Robinson was a master at it and could hook anyone. He's trained some of the greatest Mixed Martial Artists ever, including Kazushi Sakuraba, who was a HUGE draw for the sport in Japan in the 2000's. Sakuraba was the first person to beat Royce Gracie in MMA. He also won the UFC Ultimate Japan tournament in 1997 by defeating a Gracie Ju Jitsu Black Belt that outweighed him by about 60 pounds. How did he beat him? He forced the guy to submit. A GRACIE BLACK BELT! SUBMITTED! WOW!

They didn't call Robinson "The Shooter", or "The Man of 1,000 Holds" for nothing. I'll take a grappler over any of the previously mentioned strikers any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The reality of fighting is that all of those fancy striking arts that everyone loves in the movies, Karate, and special spin kicking, all of that shit fails in a real fight. Grappling is the superior martial art, and that was proven in MMA.
