Top 50 Superstars Ranked by WWE Itself
Hello, Creatures of the Night. Recently, I got some news on WWE's new DVD. Greatest 50 WWE Superstars of all time. To say the least, I'm a bit surprised.
This list differs a lot more than the ones on the B/R.
I am not that all surprised by the No. 1 entrant. I want to know the opinions of my fellow B/R Members so here you have it.
Also please remember, this is not up to my standards. I'm just simply naming the picks by WWE.
Thanks...
50. Killer Kowalski
1 of 51
He trained Triple H. Definitely deserves a spot on the list.
49. Batista

Dave Batista. Arguably the face of WWE in 2005. No. 2 guy behind Cena after his injury. Multiple-time World Champion.

Ravishing Rick Rude. One of the Greatest IC Champions of all time.

If you thought Eddie, Flair, and Triple H are bad. Watch this guy's matches. One of the Dirtiest Player's in the game

The Great One. Number four. That's good enough for me.
4. Bret Hart

The Hitman's position on this list suits me.
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin
48 of 51
Ushered in the Attitude Era. He deserves his spot.
2. The Undertaker

The Phenom. I might have placed him at three or four. But Taker deserves his spot. Some may even argue that he's the Greatest.
1. Shawn Michaels
50 of 51
HBK. The Greatest Wrestler of all time. IMO. Number one WWE Superstar of all time
Warning
51 of 51
Creatures, please don't shoot the messenger. All of these picks were ranked by the WWE. Due to the multiple problems I have with the list, I will begin work on my own.
This ranking has inspired me. I'm going to write an article about HBK, and why he deserves to top spot.
