1. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - He's my favorite ever because he was just an all around excellent performer. Had the amazing mic skills with the crowd completely behind him. Was a really good wrestler from back in his WCW days, & than he turned into a brawler after his neck injury, but the brawling style completely fit his character. His feud with Vince is probably in my top 5 favorite feuds of all time.
2. “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig - Since I was a kid, he's always been one of my favorites. And to this day, he's still at the very top of my list. His matches with Bret are classics, and had a great character. His sports skits where he happened to be "perfect" at everything are legendary.He definitely deserved at least one run with the World Title. It's also too bad he was really underused in WCW, when he could have easily been a main eventer feuding with Bret Hart again.
3. Diamond Dallas Page - I can't think of a bad match he's had. His matches with Sting & Savage are some of my all time favorites. Great character, & the crowd was extremely behind him. He also used one of my favorite finishers of all time, and used it in such unique ways.
4. The Undertaker - Greatest big man of all time. Had a gimmick that most people probably thought would fail, but he was so good that he made it work to become one of the best ever. His matches with HBK are some of my favorite matches ever. And his matches with Foley as well are great. Been a fan of his for 24 straight years, so he makes my top 5.
5. Goldberg - I think he was pretty underrated in the ring. Goldberg, Sting, DDP & Austin were my 4 favorite guys during the Monday Night War years. His spear & jackhammer were just vicious. No one has ever had a better spear than Goldberg. I just wish the streak never ended when it did back at Starrcade 1998. Maybe WCW wouldn't of went downhill if the streak never ended.
6. Bret Hart - With the exception of Hogan, he was my favorite as a kid. I thought he was awesome as a heel, and that was the best mic work of his career. Has had multiple favorite matches of mine like against Austin at Survivor Series 96 & Mania 13. Also his matches with Curt Hennig. Probably the best technical wrestler of all time. So he definitely gets a spot in my top 10.
7. Shawn Michaels - Quite possibly my favorite when it comes to in ring work. There's no one better in the ring than him. Stole the show at almost every show as a main event talent. His match with Taker at Bad Blood might be my favorite match of his. Also Mania 25 match is quite possibly greatest Mania match of all time.
8. Sting - I liked him a lot as surfer Sting, but when he turned to Crow Sting, that's when he was at his best in my opinion. His matches with DDP are some of my favorites, but it seems those matches never get talked about. And he was my favorite in TNA as well.
9. Hulk Hogan - Hogan used to be in my top 3, but as time goes on he goes down on my favorites list. His character of Hollywood Hogan in WCW was awesome, but the match quality as HollyWood Hogan was absolute shit. And looking back, I also dislike how he buried a lot of guys in his WWF run. His match with Warrior is probably my favorite match of his. He was my favorite as a kid so he still makes my top 10.
10. Randy Savage - One of my favorite in ring performers of all time. I loved his promos as well, and he always worked well with anyone you put him in the ring with. Definitely deserves to be in my top 10.
11. Sid - I know a lot of people don't like him, but I've always been a big fan. His promos are quite possibly my favorite ever to listen to, since their just so damn entertaining and insane. Not the greatest in the ring, but he wasn't bad for a big man. I wish his ECW run was longer, but it was great while it lasted.
12. Ultimate Warrior - Very entertaining to watch. A bit underrated in the ring in my opinion since he's had some classic matches. His promos are some of my favorites to watch.
13. Scott Hall - Always found him to be really cool. He could have easily been a world champ, what held him back obviously was his personal demons. I don't think WCW wanted to invest in him as champion due to that.
14. Kurt Angle - An all around great performer. Has had classics with Lesnar, Benoit & some others. Also, I love his promos. I miss the days when he was a goofy heel in WWE though.
15. The Rock - One my favorite heels of all time. He would have made my top 10 if it wasn't for the fact that I've never been a big fan of his as a face. His best work was as a heel in my opinion. His time in the Nation, Corporation & as Hollywood Rock are my favorite periods of his career.
