The evolution of pro wrestling has seen wrestling morph into one of the most watched shows in the world. Proffesional wrestling began in the 1800’s after the civil war to be precise. Created as a form of entertainment, wrestling mainly took place during carnivals or traveling acts.

Many of the wrestlers who took part during this period were mainly college students who were in to make some quick bucks. As time went by, pro wrestling grew into a popular event and its popularity could be compared to that of baseball and wrestling.

In the WWE, we’ve seen some amazing wrestlers over the years from the 1960’s and 1970’s to the Attitude era all the way to the New era. While many wrestlers have not only put their blood and sweat into the industry, very few have also emerged as the creme de la creme of pro wrestling.

Those that stood out, stood out mainly because of their wrestling styles, microphone skills, look and marketability From Hulk Hogan to Shawn Michaels to Stone Cold Steve Austin, all these 30 wrestlers have helped put WWE on the map.

25. The Big Show
24. Rey Mysterio
23. Brock Lesnar
22. Christian
21. Randy Orton
20. AJ Styles

Having Christian ranked over Brock automatically makes this list an utter crock of dogshit. But for shits and giggles I clicked the link to see how bad the rest of this was. Andre not on the list. Bob Backlund, Billy Graham, and Pedro not on the list. No mention of stalwarts like Killer Kowalski, Antonino Rocca, and Buddy Rogers who helped build the WWE's platform in the late 50's and 60's. Despite the early history of the company being mentioned. It's also labelled "all time" despite focusing squarely on WWE. As if wrestling didn't exist before the WWE split from the NWA. Hogan not in the top 5. John Cena didn't even make the list. Rock and Austin as #1 and #2. This Mike Rashford guy is an Attitude Era mark who needs to pick up a history book. Laughable list.

Lesnar 23, Orton 21, no mention of Bret Hart.

That list needs deleted. Seriously, they should be embarrassed.
