• Randy Orton
• Chris Jericho
• Dusty Rhodes
• Bret Hart
• Shawn Michaels
• The Undertaker
• Ric Flair
• Triple H

These are some of the wrestler who are good and have got one of the best careers of all-time. But they just missed by some crucial points as you will find below the top 10 WWE wrestlers of all-time.

7. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper

The best entrance music alerts the entire crowd in a single note or sound as to who is coming to descend the ramp. The introduction of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was successful in that sense. Even if the sound of bagpipes made you shudder, you could only imagine one man when you heard it. Ironically, Piper was not a native of Scotland. He is Canadian even though he is of Scottish descent.

The sleeper hold is a submission technique that was initially perfected by Piper, although it has since been used by many other grapplers. His finisher isn’t extremely original but him being the master just makes things different.

Wrestling evolved into the theatrical theater it is today because to Piper’s Pit. Every time Piper touched a microphone, he was a promotional smash, and in the middle of the 1980s, he rose to fame by conducting interviews with other well-known wrestlers. Since then, being able to speak trash has been just as important to becoming a superstar as being able to wrestle. Since Piper was one of the best heels to ever grace the canvas, his legacy is mostly his tongue. He also competed in a number of legendary battles against wrestlers like Ric Flair and Bret Hart, demonstrating his skill as a competitor.

6. Mick Foley

Mick Foley competed as a variety of personas, each with their own walkout tune. However, they were all quite unmemorable. The greatest of the group was probably “Wreck,” which he used toward the end of his career when he was still just Foley. The worst entrance music, unless you’re an open admirer of disco music, was unquestionably for Dude Love.

Foley’s Mandible Claw was undoubtedly one of the most inventive and effective maneuvers of its day. At the very least, it seems to be the only finishing maneuver that one might possibly perform on oneself, though this is strongly prohibited.

Over the years, many wrestlers have taken on the character of the tortured soul. Guys that did it well were Kane, Raven, Gangrel, and Al Snow. But nobody was able to convey a psychotic monologue quite like Foley. He was even more intrigued by the contrast between Mankind’s insanity and Dude Love’s laid-back demeanor.

Despite not being the most skilled wrestler, Foley could take a battering and still put on a show. One of the most famous moments in WWE history was when The Undertaker dropped Mankind from the top of the Hell in a Cell and onto the announce table.

5. John Cena

This man got one of the best entrance of all-time as the crowd would go crazy as his music would hit and create a different vibe around. Additionally, the “You can’t see me” movement was a real one that helped introduce a new generation of wrestling fans.

Both a knockout finishing and a tapout finisher are available to Cena. The Attitude Adjustment is what would result if a fireman’s carry and Bill Goldberg’s Jackhammer were crossed. There is also the STF (Stepover Toehold Facelock), which is a combination of Chris Benoit’s Crippler Crossface and Kurt Angle’s Ankle Lock.

The best speaker Vince McMahon has ever hired may be John Cena. When he wants to, he can be really humorous, but he can also speak with unparalleled intensity.

A 16-time WWE Champion, Cena. Additionally, he has won the tag-team championships four times and the United States Championship five times. He is among the most distinguished wrestlers in history. For reasons that no one will ever understand, he has done the most of it while wearing denim shorts.

4. “Macho Man” Randy Savage

Savage’s final maneuver was brilliantly straightforward. There is a nearly 100% probability that you once leaped from a bookcase, a bunk bed, or anything else tall enough to land Savage’s signature flying elbow to a pile of stuffed animals if you were a youngster who watched wrestling in the 1980s or 1990s.

Savage is one of the best mic users in WWE history. His delivery was magnificent, hoarse, and frightful. For remaining true to his role during Savage’s 1987 “cup of coffee in the big time” outburst, “mean” Gene Okerlund ought to have received an Oscar.

Only ten of Savage’s 32-year career was spent in the WWF, but during that time he won the World Heavyweight Championship twice and the Intercontinental Championship once. Even though Savage was meant to be a heel, the audience adored him because he was such a gifted showman in the ring.

3. Hulk Hogan

It’s incredible that Hogan, who possessed one of the least impressive finishing techniques ever, rose to become one of the titans of wrestling. He was a master of movement. Before slamming a powerful boot in someone’s face, you bounce your opponent off the ropes.

Awesome. the moving clothing line? Better still. However, the Atomic Leg Drop was such a lackluster way to end a game. We’re giving him a pass since it was effective in the 1980s and, via repetition, established a recognizable gesture.

In both the WWE and the WCW, he won the world championship six times. He is the Michael Jordan of wrestling in that he spent 20 years as the role model for young people everywhere.

2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

The Rock’s entrance has one of the strongest opening blows in WWE history. Within milliseconds after his “If ya smell…” blaring over the speakers, the whole crowd was standing. The Rock Bottom and The People’s Elbow were the best setup and closing combo, according to the WWE. Better still, if the sequence started out of nowhere and ended with Jim Ross or Michael Cole yelling “Rock Bottom!” three or four times in a row.

It doesn’t matter what you think if you’re a big enough jabroni to believe The People’s Champion should have received less than a 10 in this area! Know your place and keep quiet. The finest jabs and advertising copy from “The Attitude Era” were constantly delivered by the master of the one-liner.

The Rock excelled as a wrestler, but his acting skills were much better. Nobody could sell the terrible effect of a Stone Cold Stunner as effectively as Dwayne Johnson did, with the potential exception of Vince and Shane McMahon. And as a result of his outstanding performance, he was awarded eight WWE Championships.

1. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin

If a glass breaks and the person instantly sweeps the room looking for “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, you can be sure you’re in the presence of a wrestling enthusiast. For a whole generation of fans, the opening of Austin’s entrance music is the sound of professional wrestling.

There is no disputing the fact that The Stone Cold Stunner is the best finishing in WWE history. The Texas Rattlesnake struck at unpredictable times, but it was always fantastic. Additionally, one of the finest moments in the history of the company was him going after Vince McMahon.

The most famous mic drop in wrestling history may be “Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass.” Although Austin wasn’t the finest role model for children, he made drinking beer and flipping birds look cool. The Titantron played an incredible amount of great statements and iconic films as a result of his long-running conflict with Vince McMahon. And for the past twenty years, during speeches, fans have been shrieking “What?!” nonstop thanks to Austin.
