This wasn't based off of talent, I just based it off of the impact that they left.


I knew I was forgetting someone!

Stone Cold
The Rock
John Cena
The Undertaker

20 Years?

1994-2014:


Hulk Hogan remains the most iconic WRESTLER of all time but in the 1990s, Stone Cold Steve Austin drew the most money and was the biggest selling merchandise seller in HIStory.

Stone Cold (1997-2002) - Years of Huge Impact

The Rock is a close second to Stone Cold. He is the essence of a crossover Wrestler turned Movie Star who is now the most popular sport entertainer in the world.

John Cena is the face of the WWE and has been for a decade. He is a mix of Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold when it comes to drawing money, crowds and merchandise.

Overall, WWE has made several top stars in the last 20 years but these three guys are the superstar who either drew the most money or left a impact in the WWE or any other wrestling organization.

All these words

It's Stone Cold >>>>> The Rock. The rest doesn't come close.

I'll add Batista, Big Show, Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels. Rey Mysterio too, he's underrated to be so small but take on the big guys.

And for Females:

Sable and/or Trish

1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
2. The Rock
3. John Cena
4. The Undertaker
5. Triple H

John and Mark are interchangeable, but it depends who you ask. Hogan is from the 80s, plus he joined WCW in the 90s.

Male:
- The Undertaker
- Triple H
- Stone Cold Steve Austin
- The Rock
- John Cena
- CM Punk
- Big Show
- Shawn Michaels
- Rey Mysterio
- Randy Orton

Female:
- Chyna
- Sable
- Trish Stratus
- Lita
- AJ Lee

I'll do the Divas too.

1. Trish Stratus
2. Lita
3. Stephanie McMahon
4. Chyna
5. AJ Lee

Again, Joan and April are interchangeable. It just depends on the age of the person and whether they watched WWF.

Edge, Undertaker, The Rock.
Lita, Melina, Torrie Willson.

Not you all underestimating the impact of Chyna when it comes to female wrestlers. During her peak (1999-2000) she was one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWF, man or woman. She competed in matches against wrestling legends like Triple H, Mankind, Kane, The Undertaker, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Jeff Jarret, Steve Austin etc... Not taking anything away from Trish Stratus or Lita, but they were mostly confined to the world of female wrestling. Chyna was just on a completely different level.

Let's look at the stats:
First woman to compete in the Royal Rumble
First woman to compete in the King of the Ring Tournamanet
First woman to be the number one contender for the WWF championship
First and only female to win the Intercontinental Championship (twice)
Two Playboy covers and a successful book

Granted the end of her career with the WWF was messy, what with the whole Stephanie/Triple H drama and Vince attempting to relegate her solely into the women's division. Not to mention the complete tragedy she has become since with the alchohol/drug abuse and p**n career. However, I don't think this should take away from all of her accomplishments. She truly was a game changer in the world of wrestling and we haven't seen any female come close to repeating her success since.

All hail the 9th Wonder of the World!

Tiffany, duh!

Trish is #1

1. Trish Stratus
2. Chyna
3. Lita
4. Sable
5. Stephanie
