It is not easy to rank the 50 best wrestlers in the history of the industry. This is pretty subjective since there is more to it than just in-ring charisma and athletic ability. It would be impossible to include all the amazing wrestlers out there, so cut us some slack. For this list, we decided to use the “WOW” factor as the most important criteria. What we mean by this is if they had the ability to spellbind audience members and invoke excitement when they were on the ring. Did your favorite grappler make the cut?
Kane (1992-Present)
Kane is famous for his Tombstone Piledriver and Chokeslam. This character was launched to rival the Undertaker! He had crazy storylines that kept the character relevant. For one thing, he once set fire to a WWE Hall of Famer. Isn’t it incredible that he is now the Mayor of Knox County in Tennessee?

‘Ravishing’ Rick Rude (1982-1999)
Rude Awakening was the signature move of “Ravishing” Rick. It is fitting because it matches the way he moved in the ring. There is no way we can ever forget the time he airbrushed the face of Jake “The Snake” Robert’s wife to his tights! That was a classic. Sadly, he passed away on April 20, 1999.
