Who's in Your top 25 of all time? Notice, era, legacy, image, impact on the business, title reigns, success, longevity, should all be factors. The company they were in should also have a legitimate impact on their success.

Ring skills, mic skills, image skill, personality all important factors but shouldnt outweigh the above because thiis isn't the 25 most favorite... the greatest of all time... but can still be a factor...


I'll compile my list within 72 hours...

    I can understand HHH. He is overrated...But Hogan brought wrestling to the mainstream...

    I can really only think of like 1 classic RVD match...and that was against Jerry Lynn at Living Dangerously '99
