Since I'm turning 25 years old next year, I decided to go with 25. Now, I'm making this list based on storylines and in-ring skills more than anything. I am also considering the individual's victories over certain stars and their championships they've held. I'm not judging by if it's fake or not, just by what they've done during their reign and if they would have won in an actual storyline match up.

Honorable Mentions: Booker T and The Great Muta

25. Eddie Guerrero—A true great. I put him on, not even because of his passing. Just the things he had done will always be remember in my and many others' eyes. Plus, he defeated Brock Lesnar once. Not many people did.

24. Kevin NashThat Jackknife Power-bomb has taken out even the best of wrestlers; and it was pretty deadly too.

23. AJ StylesHe wasn't even about to make the list, but he's the face of TNA. He is truly a future Hall of Famer; and I think he can take both Nash and Guerrero out. Well, I'm not so sure about Eddie Guerrero, but that would be a classic match.

22. EdgeHe is my current favorite wrestler and I love his theme. I'm sort of biased with him in the Top 25, but his gimmick matches were classic and make up for that.

21. YokozunaFor someone his size, he was pretty agile and actually put on some really good matches. He was, pretty much, unstoppable. That Banzai Drop knocked out everyone. LITERALLY!

20. VaderOne of the most dominant wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring, his power-bomb was the deadliest of them all. He was very agile, too. Vader could beat you in many ways.

19. Chris JerichoHe actually made my list, although I don't believe he's as good as he used to be back in WCW and his first stint in WWE. His Code-breaker truly makes up for what he once had. He hasn't lost much, but he has lost a step or two; and that Walls of Jericho is weak. Now, the Lion-tamer, on the other hand, was a classic submission, probably the best.

18. Big Poppa PumpFormerly known as Scott Steiner. This is based more on him when he wasn't that genetic freak. Even when he did become steroided up he was still effective. That Frankensteiner is still one of the best moves to ever watch. It still brings chills.

17. Chris Benoit
