Smh. Shouldn't even be on the list. -
Kurt angle should easily be in tha top 5
-
Christian over ron simmons
Scust -
Piper should be out tha top 25.... he Neva won a world title
-
Smh, no Booker T...Kurt, Bret not top 10? That's crazy
-
Cena over hogan? Well damn
-
16. BRET "HITMAN" HART

Guys like Scott Steiner and Ron Simmons should be ranked higher.
No Booker T on the list at all, Bret not in the top 10 is a headscratcher, a guy like Edge is ranked to high imo.
A guy like Daniel Bryan was a ROH legend before he even set foot in the E but he wasnt around long enough imo to be ranked ahead of some of the other guys.
Lol at Warrior being 68. He couldn't wrestle for ? but he was arguably the second biggest star in the E behind Hogan from '87 to' 91 which was wrestlings golden era imo. -
I see there are a few women on tha list... but I don't see Ms. Jacqueline ... it was bad enough you left tha black man's name off (booker t)but jacqueline getting denied as well???
-
Jaqueline was cool but bruh there is 100 others who deserve this list more

I always believed that sherri Martell & ms jacqueline never got the true recognition as modern day pioneers of women's wrestling. -
I think that sid vicious & Tully blanchard should be on the list
-
No Lex luger or Chris benoit?

Preach -
Didn't see jerry Lawler on that list
-
Eddie Guerrero #40?
-
? this list..

I ain't trying to be funny and even though he's a POS ? , Hogan imo should be at least in the top 5 of that list.
Hogan laid the start of the foundation of what WWE is today. His run from '84-91 is nothing to overlook. If Vince's gamble on Hogan didn't pan out in the 80's would there even been a Bret Hart, HBK, Rock, Stone Cold, or Undertaker? Would WWE even exist if WrestleMania flopped in '85?
Dude's career almost went into the toilet during the mid 90's until he was apart of one of the greatest heel turns in wrestling history. -

Hogan truth told could easily have tha top spot
