You don't know what charisma means then. There is such a thing as in-ring charisma, and AJ Styles definitely has it. You cannot only look at their mic work.
Anyway, Angle was the best in the world in 2002, probably, and maybe 2003. I don't get this stuff of him being the best right now. Benoit's best ever juices may even still be spilling over into 2009, so maybe him. Otherwise, Chris Hero is a good option, as is John Cena. Chris Jericho is probably the de facto choice here, so I'll go with him. This is ignoring all puro stuff, as I haven't seen much stuff in quite a few months.
Some of these answers are silly by the way. Tyson Kidd? Christian? I love Christian, but come on.

I'll admit, I get a little disappointed every time AJ opens his mouth... I always forget he's a hick..lol
It hurts to listen to Styles.
I really can't say who the best is. Are we talking international, national, regional, or indy? There are some indy wrestlers in Chikara who I think can run circles around some of the WWE talent. However, it's not just about wrestling. It's also about the story they tell. This is too hard for me to answer.

Chris Hero. Charisma and wrestling skill mixed perfectly. He can work on so many levels. Far superior to Chris Jericho tbh.

First of all, Hero is more charismatic. Don't get me wrong, Jericho is reasonably charismatic and puts almost everyone in the cooke cutter machine known as the WWE to shame, but imo, Hero's charisma in wrestling atm is unparalleled. Guy just oozes it.
Second of all, I'm not as big of a fan of Jericho promos as everyone else seems to be. I often think he tries to cram too much into one promo and he just rushes through everything as a result of it. He was pretty horrible with this when he first returned to the 'E (his promo before a match with Santino or whoever was horrid), and imo, he still does it sometimes, although he's not as bad at it as a heel.
Hero, much like Jericho, has a lot of versitility, and personally, I think Hero is a better brawler than Jericho, while they're about equal in other aspects. This is pretty even though, because with experience in America, Mexico, Japan and Germany, Jericho is obviously going to be a pretty damn versatile guy.
The one thing that I think Jericho has going for him over Hero (and anyone else in the world outside of Edge and Shawn Michaels) is his ability to make anyone look good. Jericho can put people over just by beating them, which is something a lot of people can't do (I find this to be John Cena's main fault, but in a way it's part of his gimmick). But like I said, I think Hero is at least a little better in most aspects, and in terms of promos and in-ring charisma, I'd take Hero any day of the week (twice on Sundays).
On an unrelated note, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Davey Richards. Guy is pretty amazing.

I will say that Davey Richards has definitely been a major breakout star in Ring of Honor this year. The amount of MOTYC he's been in this year is incredible (his match with KENTA from April-DAMN). Once his tag team with Eddie Edwards runs his course he could definitely be a major breakout singles star. He's already proven he can hang with the likes of Austin Aries, Tyler Black and KENTA. The only real thing he might need to work on is his promos.
Someone else I'm surprised no ones mentioned is Austin Aries. Ever since he turned heel and won the ROH title he's been great. His promos are good, he's had very good to great matches with anybody through his A double invitational thing and his facial hair is epic.

I meant on the mic he's pretty bad. But he obviously has in ring charisma because he's able to connect with the fans, just like Jeff Hardy was able to. He gets over due to his in ring performances.
As soon as Davey can get some charisma, he'd be a fantastic all rounder wrestler. He's really come into his own this year, with several Match Of The year possibilities. And isn't he only like 23? Him and Tyler Black tbmfh.

Davey Richards is fuckin gravy. The guy's in-ring has only gotten better the past few years. I can see him coming to either TNA or WWE in a few years
