So it’s who we think are the 25 biggest stars or our top 25 favorites? I’m just going to put my 25 favorites in the best order I can because I can’t sleep. I have enough making a consistent top 10 tbh.
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
2. CM Punk
3. Bryan Danielson
4. Bayley
5. Bret Hart
6. Kurt Angle
7. Eddie Guerrero
8. Tomasso Ciampa
9. Johnny Gargano
10. Sami Zayn
11. Shawn Michaels
12. Kevin Owens
13. John Cena
14. Dax Harwood
15. Cash Wheeler
16. Seth Rollins
17. Mick Foley
18. Randy Orton
19. Triple H
20. Bray Wyatt
21. Becky Lynch
22. Undertaker
23. Taz
24. Brock Lesnar
25. Kofi Kingston
That was difficult and will probably change by the time I wake up. Top 10 seems correct though.

Hard to quantify most popular, because of different factors (peaks, longevity, current popularity, historic popularity, revenue, revenue sources etc). So ranking them properly would be impossible, but if I had to guess at the 25, I’d say (not necessarily in order):
The Rock
Hulk Hogan
Stone Cold Steve Austin
John Cena
Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns
Rey Mysterio
Ultimate Warrior
Undertaker
Triple H
Macho Man
Shawn Michaels
Bret Hart
Chris Jericho
Batista
Bruno Sammartino
Superfly Snuka
Randy Orton
Daniel Bryan
CM Punk
Bob Backlund
Andre the Giant
Ric Flair
Mankind
Kane

It covers all era's and has a nice blend of talent. But I'd like to sneak Superstar Billy Graham in there. Though his reign was short in the WWWF, his peak was pretty impressive. In his reign as champion, he sold out the garden 19 times out of 20 shows as the main event. Not to mention doing great business elsewhere in the territory. He even did great business outside of the WWWF territory when wrestling against Harley Race in the NWA vs WWWF title matches. And prior to his championship reign, he was usually in the main event, or a top tier feud, in the 1975-77 years. |

Superstar is a good shout and definitely one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. I didn’t include him in the list because he was a heel in the WWF and my core criteria was basically main event level babyfaces. |

If only they turned Superstar babyface towards the end of his title run like he wanted, they may have gotten a much longer run out of him. Towards the end of his title run, he was starting to get more cheers, especially during his promos/interviews. |
