Doesn't hold a candle to Scott Hall or Jerry Lawler during his Memphis days.

Taker and Kane are probably the best strikers. always felt very believable.
EDIT: ok, i never watched Scott Hall and younger Lawler, so i searched for some...holy shit, their punches look amazing, specially Lawler.

Can a mod please edit the title to read "Was Undertaker the all-time greatest pure striker in WWF/WWE?"

Yes. Say what you will about the Phenom, but he is easily the greatest pure striker in the game.

Shawn Michaels, hands down.
And let's not forget the timeless classic of when Hulk Hogan refused to let him win a match even though Shawn let him win the last one and that was their deal, resulting in the most comically awesome overselling of all time:

It would be weird if nobody in the WWE qualified for a topic asking exclusively about the WWE.
There's a difference between a stage punch and a real punch. There's an artistry in throwing a fake punch.
That's because Lawler is punching the guy.

For more modern choices, the match between Kassius Ohno and Aleister Black on this week's NXT tells me that they're both in that conversation.
Nakamura is as well, but that's because he's making contact half the time. Strong style, baby.

Why doesn't anyone tell Shane to stop doing those punches? They're awful.

Until he put on the MMA gloves, yes.
Edit: I see we've already gotten to the point where no one in WWE can do anything right.
Good thing they fired that guy!

Jerry Lawler made it look so sweet.
I love Kane's striking though.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Why would they remove offence which gets a pop?
I mean he's a non wrestler, dude isn't meant to be "good" in ring. Shitty offence just adds to his matches.

And yet his punches were "terrible" by IWC standards while he was active.

That would be Simon Gotch:
Depends. Are we going by the Eddie "I'm clean of drugs but still abuse steroids" Guerrero level of pure?

It's a meaningless kayfabe term used to build up his legendary status.
he liked MMA so added it to his character
same reason he suddenly rode a bike to the ring for some years, he likes motorcycles.
Sin Cara/Hunico would like to have a word with you.That would be Simon Gotch:
Yeah, best not to joke about serious head injuries, along with showing gifs of them.

Scott Hall? Those open handed slaps he would do? Or did he throw different punches that I'm not just remembering?
Undertaker's punches typically looked pretty good, but when he started doing things like those quick punches to the body, they looked quite soft. Bret threw some good punches. Macho Man's jabs were pretty good as well.
