And his 2nd run is when he really reached that all-timer level. 2002-2010 he was basically untouchable. But yeah, it’s a toss of a coin.

Wrestled 1000 more matches than Shawn..And Brets career coincided with more fans watching. Shawn's second run coincided with an over 50 percent loss of the audience from the Attitude era. Proving that in ring work isn't that big a draw. Shawn's Christian persona was quote dull and boring tv. He and Nose were drawing mid 2s when Rock and Austin left.

      Great worker, maybe better than Taker in-ring for a few years, but the man had very little singles success when you really analyze his whole career. Most of the Kane-centric stories (May 19, Katie Vick, Embrace the Hate) were abysmal. Excellent character, but no real stand-out moments that weren’t Kane (plus the actual main character) moments, you know?
      By contrast, Sheik was an incredibly important star in early WWF and elsewhere, had some really great matches for the time at his physical peak, and was at least as responsible for Hulkamania as Hogan himself. He ought to be in the top 50 at least.

I disagree with some of your Kane points though, you are selling him short. He has literally the greatest debut ever, and has had some of the best return segments of all time. Iconic looks and entrance, in his prime he had a physique like no other, and in no way shape or form was he an accessory to Hurricane, Show or RVD. Even if he only held the WWE title for one night, he was one of the top and most over guys in the Attitude Era which can be argued as the greatest era of the WWE. I think everything he gave and his longevity he's easily in the Top 100 of Wrestlers.

    Finally the correct ranking for Rock
    People confuse the modern celebrity for the wrestler. Rock isn't top 10

      You really think of all the thousands of pro wrestlers of all time that Asuka is in the top 101? She's great, nothing wrong with her but cmon

      ​@@philm2217its little hard to compare females and their legacy with males. In separate list I would place her in top 5 with influence and achievements in WWE alone.. not counting things she did in Japan

    Very good list I’m just a little surprised to see Edge ahead of Hunter and Orton

    Rob Van Dam and Scott Steiner are my favs. from this list. Here in YT is many Lou Thesz matches from 1950's, so go see those.

    This guy had goldberg and batista on this list but not Kane 🤦‍♂️ arguably a top 20 character of all time is ludicrous

    Hate to be that guy, but no way is Jay Briscoe in the Top 101 of all time. If he'd never had died, he wouldnt even touch the Top 250 of all time.

    What a weird list. Goldberg ahead of Owen heart, Seth Rollins, Christian, bruiser Brody and the butcher… odd

      @RobboEntertainment 14 днів тому +1

      They stated at the beginning that impact + drawing power was a big part of it. Of course those guys are better than Goldberg in the ring, but Goldberg was the face of WCW and a masssive draw at the height of his and the company's popularity.

    Not saying they belong on this list, but my childhood would have been incomplete without the Tommy Rich / Buzz Sawyer feud. It was mesmerizing.
