The Rock (1996-2004, 2011-2013)
What can’t the People’s Champ do? He could energize crowds with a mic and give us epic showdowns against the greatest wrestlers we have ever seen. He had an underdog story but impressed us all with the way he transitioned from a broke ex-football player to a movie star! He might not have been the best in the sport, but his climatic buildups and eyebrow raises definitely made for good entertainment.
‘The Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels (1984-2010)
Shawn Michaels had a reputation for taking the crowd “inside the ring” with him. Fans were able to feel everything that he did, regardless of whether it was joy, victory, sadness, or pain. He knew how to win the crowd over! Many assumed that his career was done thanks to his back injuries and substance abuse, but the Heartbreak Kid returned with a vengeance and showed us iconic Wrestlemania matches!
