The 1990s were a great time for wrestling fans. The WWE was in its heyday, and it seemed like every wrestler on the roster was capable of putting on an incredible performance. But there are always going to be those few wrestlers who stand out as being the best of their era—and these guys did just that. Here are our picks for the top WWE wrestlers of all time:
Bret Hart
Bret Hart was one of wrestling's most versatile performers, able to cut a promo like nobody else while also being one of the most technically sound wrestlers around. He had some incredible matches with Shawn Michaels during his time in the WWE, but his feuds with Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker were also legendary. He may not have been flashy, but he was a true master at his craft.
Stone Cold Steve Austin
There are few names more synonymous with wrestling than Stone Cold Steve Austin. The guy made himself into a pop culture icon with his beer drinking antics and attitude towards authority figures, but he could also put on some amazing matches with anyone from Shawn Michaels to Bret Hart (notably at WrestleMania 13). His run as world champion paved the way for many wrestlers who came after him.
Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels was one of the best technical wrestlers ever to step foot into an arena—and he showed it by holding multiple titles throughout his career with WWE: World Heavyweight Title (three times), European Title (five times), Intercontinental Title (four times), Tag Team Titles (two times). He retired from professional wrestling in 2010 due to health issues but still makes occasional appearances at events such as WrestleMania or SummerSlam.
The Rock
If you smellllllllll............ What the Rock is cooking! So iconic.....Dwayne Johnson is better known by his stage name "The Rock." He is one of the only wrestlers who successfully transitioned from professional wrestling into acting and has had an incredibly successful career outside of wrestling as well. The Rock became famous for his mic skills and his ability to trash talk opponents before matches began—something that would later become a trademark move among other WWE stars such as Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Miz today!
Undertaker
Mark Calaway is better known by his stage name "The Undertaker." The Undertaker's dominance and captivating persona throughout the 1990s solidified his status as one of the best wrestlers of the era. With an imposing 6'10" frame, supernatural gimmick, and an unbeatable aura, The Undertaker captivated audiences like no other. His iconic entrance, featuring dimmed lights and haunting music, sent chills down the spines of fans worldwide. Moreover, his unparalleled WrestleMania streak, where he remained undefeated for an astonishing 21 consecutive matches, showcased his unparalleled resilience and unmatched longevity. The Undertaker's ability to adapt his character, from the mysterious and macabre persona of the early '90s to the biker gimmick later in the decade, further demonstrated his versatility and commitment to his craft. Combining exceptional in-ring skills, remarkable storytelling ability, and an undeniable presence, The Undertaker remains an enduring legend and the embodiment of wrestling greatness during the 1990s.
