Top 5 WWE superstars of all time

The visionary Vince Kennedy McMahon took the franchise of the then WWF under his wings from his father and treated it like the way that no one could think and eventually it changed the face of pro-wrestling. He gave the company a global look and started scripted wrestling which converted the wrestlers who now known as WWE Superstars. Though, this concept forced many to think that this is choreographed thoroughly and they don’t even want to consider it as a legitimate sport. The truth is, the fight may be scripted most of the times but the pain they took inside the ring is 100 percent real. And the spectacular moves they perform to entertain us take years to execute perfectly. Let’s honor the wrestling skills of those 5 superstars who benchmarked themselves with their performances and stand as the ultimate measuring scale for the newcomers in WWE.

Hulk Hogan
Name me a kid who was a fan of wrestling in our childhood but did not cheer for Hulk Hogan. He was the sole reason that professional wrestling has headed towards mainstream and became the phenomenon that it is today. His charm was so much that when the ‘Hulkamania’ stopped to form the greatest faction in WWE history i.e. New World Order, we still cheered for him. After seeing his role in Rocky 3, Vince McMahon took him under his wings and he never looked back. At that time, he was the focal point of WWF before he headed towards WCW. There are innumerable moments in his illustrious career. He was the first one who made the word ‘franchise’ significant by making the crowd polarizing despite not having any such technical skills or pendant submission moves. But he created his own league that still is running wild.

The Undertaker
In JBL’s word, The Undertaker is “The best striker in the history of sports entertainment” and rightly so. 21 straight wins at the grandest stage of all are the record that perhaps nobody ever will catch up and that evidently makes him “The Phenome.” He started in WCW but WWF snatched him and gave him the gimmick of “The Undertaker” which is now being called as Vince McMahon’s greatest creation. Often, superstars are measured by championships but Taker is that rare species who managed to benchmark himself prestigious than the titles. Though he won the world title on eight different occasions, he is best known for his scary entrance and mind games as well as his fierce in-ring abilities. Whatever, WWE has done him at Wrestlemania 30, he is still loyal to the franchise even after performing 25 years and still Vince can count him as the loyal soldier.

John Cena
Love him or boo him, you simply can’t forget the fact what Cena has done for the franchise. One simply can’t be the face of the company for over 10 years and count. Starting as a body builder Cena made his debut against Kurt Angle in the year 2002 and made the audience taking about him from that day itself. Since then he went on to become 15-time world title holder and the torch bearer of the company who was being present in every kind of matches throughout his career and for multiple occasions despite not being a technician in terms of wrestling. The charisma of Cena speaks for himself while he is present in the ring while the feuds with top names in the company cemented his legacy. Boo him all you want but still there is no replacement of the Cenation leader who can carry the company on his own.

Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Attitude Era still is the greatest era of all time in WWE history and the man who is synonymous with it is none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. After being fired by Eric Bischoff in WCW he let his frustrations out in live TV which worked for him in the attitude era. After winning the King of the Ring in 1996 he arrived in style with his famous Austin 3:16 speech. He portrayed the persona of being the ultimate rebel and changed the definition of being a wrestler that only he could. Who would have thought of beer drinking look so much iconic? Not only he was a heck of wrestler but also changed the way people traditionally looked towards heels or faces. His feud with McMahon still is the best feud that WWE has ever seen. Kudos to this man for changing the way we used to see wrestling.

The Rock
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was born in the Samoan family and knew what to do at an early age. All credit goes to him as he made it big as a global icon from just being a wrestler from Attitude Era. Though technically he may not be “the great one” in terms of wrestling but no one and I mean no one can come close to mic skills. His catchphrases, speaking styles itself today became a style and with his charisma, he went to become “The people’s champion.” He was the first one from the pro-wrestling world who made it not only big but the biggest in Hollywood with franchises like “Fast and Furious” and “The Scorpion King”. No one can stir the WWE Universe like him and that certainly makes the greatest WWE superstar of all time.
