I saw WWE's top 50 wrestlers of all time and decided to make a list of my own.  I decided to include tag teams as one, but I respect both members for any singles accomplishments as well. I made some changes after reading the comments on my original article.

1. Big Show Paul Wight...AKA The Giant.  Paul is the one that got me into wrestling all together.  He is definitely my favorite of all time.

2. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan...Hulkamania will live forever.  The Hulkster was the one I really liked as a kid.  As a kid I would watch wrestling just to see the Hulkster.  I wasn't into wrestling big time until he went to WCW and formed the nWo.

3. Bret "The Hitman" Hart...The Hart family is one of the most interesting wrestling families ever.  Bret is definitely a top five for me.  I respect all he did in both WWE and WCW.  He also was part of a great tag team with his brother in law Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. 

4. The Undertaker...AKA mean Mark Callaway.  Taker was always interesting to watch, especially when on the dark side.  He did some very scary gimmicks and has an incredible undefeated streak at WrestleMania.

5. Rhyno (also spelled Rhino)...There was the WCW; there was the WWE; and then there were those that were JUST TOO EXTREME!!!  ECW was becoming popular and Rhyno's rookie year was when I first got into ECW and he was definitely a manbeast and destroyed everybody in his path. The original ECW folded with Rhyno as the last ECW world champion and Television Champion.

6. Ken Shamrock...Shamrock is a former UFC champion and was the most underrated superstar ever in the WWE.  I know he would've been a great champion had they given him the push. Oh this guy is the real master of the anklelock, not Kurt Angle.  Ever since Angle started using it, I wanted to see Shamrock vs. Angle with Shamrock winning.

7. Kane...Aka Isaac Yankem, Fake Diesel.  Kane made the Undertaker's gimmick more intense.  They had great times as an alliance and as rivals.  Some thought he just walked in the Undertaker's shadow, but he definitely showed that he can hold his own. 

8. Rey Misterio...Rey Misterio is probably one of the most entertaining superstars I've ever seen wrestle.  He would pull off some of the most amazing moves from the most unusual angles. 

9. Rob Van Dam...Mr. Main Event was the biggest icon in ECW that never was ECW world heavyweight champion.  He was the first I ever remember defeating Rhyno that I actually saw and respect him for that.  He was very entertaining on the ground and in the air and demonstrated lots of unusual flexibility for his size.

10. The Hardy Boyz...Matt and Jeff hardy are the most amazing tag team I've ever seen.  They always performed extreme stunts and were always very synchronized.

11. Stone Cold Steve Austin...If any body raised the bar set by Hulk Hogan, it was Stone Cold Steve Austin.  His famous beer drinking, hell raising, and dominating attitude was what fans really wanted because everybody has a litte of that deep down inside them.   

12. Mick Foley...Had three faces.  Dude love was the guy everybody loved and wanted to be around.  Cactus Jack was very dirty and in your face.  However, neither was as insane as Mankind.

13. Goldberg...Goldberg was dominating WCW as Austin was dominating WWE.  The most amazing thing about Goldberg was his famous 100+ winning streak and the big question was always "Who's next?!!"

14. The Outsiders...Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were the founding fathers of the nWo along with Hulk Hogan.  Nash also wrestled as Diesel in WWE and Hall was known as Razor Ramon.

15. Scott Norton...Norton was WCW's most underrated.  He was a member of nWo and was always tough.  He had better success in Japan.

16. Steiner Brothers...Scott was a member of nWo.  Rick was an animal in the mid card ranks and moved up as WCW hit financial difficulties.  The two had great times as rivals and as a tag team

17. Chronic...Bryan "Wrath" Clark and Brian "Crush" Adams...Great tag team.  Adams was a member of the nWo in the preChronic days.  Clark wrestled under the name Wrath at that time and did very well.  Adams also wrestled under the name Crush in WWE.

18. Tommy Dreamer...In ECW he never spoke, just kicked ass.  He was a former ECW champion that never got to wear the belt courtesy of Justin Credible stealing it.  I never heard him speak until he went to WWE after ECW's folding

This is the Bradshaw

19. Brock Lesnar...Former NCAA champion burst onto the scene of WWE and just dominated.  I was sad to see that he didn't like it and left early.  Since then, he's had a successful UFC career.

20.  John "Bradshaw" Layfield/New Blackjacks/APA...I didn't like the JBL gimmick too much, but I was glad to see him get the big push he deserved at the end of his career.  Bradshaw did well in the Hardcore ranks as a singles competitor.  He teamed with his cousin Barry Windham as the new blackjacks.  He was more successful with Farooq as the Acolytes formed in the Undertaker's ministry.

21.  Disciples of Apocalypse... I just thought these guys were a tough unit. Brian "Crush" Adams was the leader of the pack.   Brian "Chains" Lee Harris was big and tough.  He was also the fake Undertaker and competed in ECW as Prime Time Brian Lee.  Ron and Don Harris were known as Skull and 8-Ball. They were members of the Silver and black nWo as the Harris Brothers and competed in ECW as the Bruise Brothers.

22. Big Bossman and Bull Buchannan...Two former prison guards always laid the law down.  Bossman did well in the hardcore ranks.  Bull also laid the law down in Right to Censor (dumb gimmick in my eyes).

23. Ahmad Johnson...Should've been a WWE champion.

24. Tazz...Very intense superstar and announcer.  When he came on you knew the mood was about to change.

Halloween Havoc...Horace and Hulk

25. Mikey Whipwreck...Guided by the Sinister Minister, he was evil and crazy.

26. Horace Hogan...Nephew of the great Hulkster and was always tough. 

27. The Disciple...Always stood by Hogan until captured by the fake Warrior.

28. Buff Bagwell...Great entertainer and in the ring he shows to be more than just that.

29. Sycho Sid...Crazy big man. 

30. Tajiri...Good Cruiser weighter and always made opponents fear the Mist.

31. Test...Mid card dominator and could've been a good WWE champion.

32. Chris Benoit...Great competitor and another great one from the Hart Foundation.  After the murder suicide of his family, WWE disowned him and all of his accomplishments, but he will always be one of my favorites.

33. Balls Malohney...One tough nut from ECW.

34. Dean Malenko...Great mid card dominator that I feel should've gotten at least one major title shot.

The one on the left is the best

35. HBK Shawn Michaels...As much as I hated DX, I loved Shawn Michaels as an indvidual superstar. This guy was #1 on the WWE list. 

36. Golddust...Also competed in WCW as Dustin Rhodes.  Golddust was a creepy character and very bizarre as well. 

37. Smokin' Gunns...Billy Gunn had tag team success with Road Dogg in the New Age Outlaws and with Chuck Palumbo in "Billy & Chuck" but Smokin' Gunns was my favorite.  Bart Gunn didn't do much after the Smokin' Gunns.  Of course the best part of the Smokin' Gunns was their manager Sunny.

38. Hardcore Holly...hardnosed, trash talker and no mercy for anybody.  Hardcore Holly was one of the dirtiest in the hardcore division. 

39. Urban Outlawz...Mike and Marshall Knox w/Sacha "Savvy" Bryant.  They were one of my favorite tag teams from the indepenent circuits.  Mike Knox had a good run in WWE later.  Savvy got married and pregnant and is no longer associated with wrestling.  Marshall Knox has been unheard of since Mike's arrival in WWE.

40. Curt Hennig aka Mr Perfect...Very good mat skills and often underappreciated.  Glad he made WWE's 50 greatest list.

41. Ravishing Rick Roode...He was everything every guy wanted to be and everything every girl wanted to be with.

42. Jake "the Snake" Roberts...Greatest wrestler to never hold a title.

43. Owen Hart...I thought he was a great wrestler and could've had a better future had it not been for the tragic accident.  When he died, it was like losing a family member. 

44. Steve Blackman...Lethal martial arts expert.  Not much charisma but I like the in-ring performance better.

45. Lance Storm...If I could be serious for a moment...I think he was very underappreciated in WWE. 

46. Mike Awesome...Always lived up to his name.

47. Randy Savage...This one was hard to include, but he and Hogan had some great matches so he deserves a spot in my top 50.

48. Batista...He was just an incredible superstar.

49. Sting...WCW's dark side man.  I always thought his entrance from the ceiling was cool, but after what happened to Owen Hart, I don't blame him at all for stopping.

50. Lex Luger...The man was the total package.  He was very intense and good all-around wrestler.

Now here's my five most hated of all time.

5. Ric Flair...I respect him as a legend, but I came from a generation where if you liked Hogan or Flair then you didn't like the other.

4. Kurt Angle...I respect as an Olympic Gold medalist, but was very annoying as a superstar.

3.  Rock...One of the biggest egomaniacs ever.  His matches were always dumb once he became a main eventer because he would go down and then all of a sudden get a burst of energy...too predictable.

2. HHH...never liked DX and he always seemed to "cheat" for most of his wins.  He's the reason I got out of wrestling for a long time.

1. Chris Jericho...Another one of the biggest egomaniacs ever.  Big crybaby when things weren't his way and so full of himself when they were his way.
