#1 Best matches

#2 Their gimmick or character (face or heel)

#3 Entrance

#4 finisher and moveset (if they can create a good match with a small moveset, it is fine)

#24 Chris Jericho

Jericho is one of the greatest heels of all time and best in ring performers of all time. He had 2 great matches against Shawn Michaels, 1 against CM Punk, 2 INCREDIBLE elimination chamber matches, and he invented the Money In The Bank match. He was a great wrestler in WCW as well. He would have been higher if this was the best matches in wrestling, but it is just WCW and WWE.

#23 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns started with one of the best groups of wrestlers of all time, the Sheild. He was the leader of it. They had many great matches against Team Hell No, the Wyatt family, and Evolution. After that, he had a bad run as a babyface. He put on some good matches, but he was pushed up the ladder too soon. Then, he had one of the greatest heel runs of all time as WWE Champion cementing himself as a top talent. He has many great matches and was a great babyface in 2024.

#22 Daniel Bryan

Daniel did it all in WWE. He started the yes movement becoming one of best babyfaces in WWE history. He faced of against John Cena, Randy Orton, and Triple H in amazing matches. Then, he was the new Daniel Bryan. He was a cowardly heel. He had great matches against AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston, and Brock Lesnar. He had GREAT on the mic speeches. He disrespected Kofi Kingston by calling him a b plus wrestler. People still raise their finger in the air and chant yes!

#21 Eddie Guerrero

Eddie has had some of the best matches in wrestling history. He fought Rey Mysterio in a five star match. Eddie would lie, cheat, and steal his way to the WWE championship at No Way Out 2004 and then defend against Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania. He had some GREAT matches in 1994 when he wrestled as the luchador, Black Tiger. His finisher, the frog splash, would always be executed perfectly.

#20 Ricky The Dragon Steamboat

Ricky Steamboat was one of the best WWE wrestlers of all time. He won the prestigious intercontinental championship when he defeated Macho Man Randy Savage. That match was one of the greatest match of ALL time. He had the fourth best match of all time which was against Ric Flair at the WCW Chi Town Rumble. He had the greatest trilogy of all time against the nature boy, Ric Flair. Ricky Steamboat is one of the best in ring wrestlers to step into a ring.

#19 AJ Styles

AJ Stlyes was phenomenal. His finisher is one of the best moves of all time, the styles clash and phenomenal forarm. He has had countless great matches with Samoa Joe in TNA. Even though this is only WCW and WWE you have to see his 5 star match against Christopher Daniel’s and Samoa Joe in 2005. He also had great matches against John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Styles is phenomenal on the mic and did a great job as a heel in 2024.

#18 Randy Savage

Macho Man Randy Savage has the iconic elbow drop as his signature move. He had a classic against Hulk Hogan and Ricky Steamboat. He also had a great match against Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 8, and Randy had a great character, in he was either an AMAZING babyface, or an AMAZING heel. The macho man had an incredible rivalry with Hulk Hogan and an incredible tag team with him.

#17 Sting

Sting was already an amazing in ring performer when he changed to the crow. When he was the beach guy he fought Cactus Jack in an AMAZING falls count anywhere match. He was the main attraction of the greatest war games match ever, and is also one of the best babyfaces of all time.

#16 Brock Lesnar

He is the beast incarnate BRRRRRRRROCK LESNAR. He has had great matches against Kurt Angle, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and CM Punk. The only reason he is not higher is because in most of his matches all he does is German suplex again and again and AGAIN. But, he has put on the greatest iron man match of all time against Kurt Angle at smackdown in 2003. The beast is a great gimmick too.

#15 Randy Orton

Randy Orton has the second best finisher of all time, the RKO. He sells out arenas because all of the crowd sing his intro music. He has a 5 star match against Cactus Jack at Backlash 2004. You should definitely watch it. He also had a great match against Christian at Summerslam 2011. He does the RKO on tables, from ladders, on steel chairs, on barbed wire, and he was going to do it on thumbtacks but instead Cactus Jack countered and slammed Orton into the thumbtacks in Backlash 2004. A very exiting wrestler to watch, if he had not had a letdown match at WrestleMania 25 and at Backlash 2020 he would have been higher. Finally, Randy can have a feud with nearly anyone and make it good.

#14 CM Punk

CM Punk would mock you for not being straight edge. He made you hate him. When he had his iconic match against John Cena, the Chicago fans made him a babyface. He changed his intro into an even better one. Then, he had a great match against The Undertaker and against Brock Lesnar. Punk would have return and have an awesome Hell In A Cell match against Drew Mclyntire at Badd Blood 2024. The straight edge superstar could work as a babyface or heel.

#13 Kurt Angle

His finisher, the pedigree, is awesome. His entrance music is one of the best of all time.

#5 Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan made WWE what it is today. Hulkamania was running WILD in the 1980s. Hogan was faced with the ultimate challenge when he fought the undefeated Andre The Giant at Wrestlemania 3. He body slammed the big man and then hit his atomic leg drop, 1 2 3. Hogan won! He continued to have great matches with Randy Savage, Ric Flair, and The Ultimate Warrior. Then, he changed heel by joining the NWO in 1996. Before that, his on the mic skills were 10/10, but now he said whacha gonna do when the NWO runs wild on you! When he fought the Rock in one of the greatest matches of all time, he had the greatest babyface turn in WWE history. The Hulkster set the tag team division on FIRE.

#4 Ric Flair

Woo! Ric Flair made WCW. He also made the chop. When Flair hit a chop, the whole arena would say wooooooooooo. He is the greatest heel of all time. He is the second best at selling moves. He had the greatest trilogy ever against Ricky Steamboat. All of them were five stars. His finisher, the figure four leg lock, makes wrestlers scream in pain. Ric has 16 world title reigns and he definitely deserves to be on this list.

#3 Steve Austin

His gimmick is one of the best of all time. He drunk beer, beat up the owner of the company, Vince McMan, and delivered stunners to wreslers who would not do his every command. He had 4 great matches against the Rock and he had a classic match vs Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 13. He had the second best rivalry against Vince McMan. He was THE face in the Attitude Era.

#1 Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels is the GOAT of wrestling. He has had countless AMAZING matches (25)!He was one of the greatest heels of all time and one of the best babyfaces of all time. He has had the best Wrestlemania match of the night TEN TIMES in my opinion! He is the best performer on raw, vs Shelton Benjamin, vs Marty Jannety, vs Triple H, vs Kurt Angle, and vs John Cena. His finisher is the best version of a kick you can ever get. He also teamed with Marty Jennetty to form The Rockers which was one of the best tag teams of all time. ANOTHER impressive thing he did is train one of the all time greats Daniel Bryan. He is HBK!
