In this article, we’ll take a look at the top 7 greatest wrestlers of all time; those who have left an indelible mark on the industry and who continue to inspire new generations of fans. So, let’s step into the ring and see who makes the cut!
Hulk Hogan

He was one of the most popular wrestlers during his time with World Wrestling Federation (now WWE). Hulk Hogan has held many titles in his career, including: WWF Champion (4 times), WCW Champion (3 times), and WCW Television Championship (2 times).
Andre the Giant
Andre the Giant was a French professional wrestler, who was best known for his iconic size. He was billed as 7 feet 2 inches and 505 pounds (230 kg). Andre’s career spanned from 1954 until 1993, during which time he held several championships in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He also wrestled extensively in Japan during this time period; most of his appearances were on the same card as Hulk Hogan or another member of the WWE roster.
As part of WCW’s “War Games” event series, Andre teamed up with Hulk Hogan against Vader and Sid Vicious at Halloween Havoc 1994 to crown new champions for both companies simultaneously. This became one of the biggest matches ever seen outside of WWE when it aired live on pay-per-view television later that year; however it would not lead to any further championship opportunities beyond this event since neither man could emerge victorious since their respective partners suffered injuries during their match which prevented them from competing again.

He’s won 11 WWE Championships (the company’s top title), two World Heavyweight Championships, three Royal Rumbles (the company’s biggest event), and four Money In The Bank ladder matches to earn his spot as the greatest all-around performer in wrestling history.
Stone Cold Steve Austin

Austin also wrestled in other promotions such as Pro Wrestling Noah, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling.
The Rock

The Undertaker
You may know him as the Undertaker, or simply The Undertaker. He’s a member of the WWE and has been wrestling since 1990.
He’s known for his signature move—the “ace crusher”—which involves him combining two moves into one by lifting a wrestler up off the ground with one arm, then hitting them in the back with an elbow drop followed by a choke hold that causes their neck to snap back violently before allowing them to fall forward onto their face (which is what makes it so powerful).
In addition to being able to execute this move well, he also has a number of other impressive feats under his belt: He was once dubbed “the Phenom” by WCW head Vince McMahon due to his ability to defeat opponents at will; he held titles across multiple promotions such as WWF/E/WCW/RAW; he holds five different championships at once (WWF Title/World Heavyweight Championship/European Championship); he was inducted into WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 along with Hulk Hogan.
Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is a professional wrestler. He is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he also won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once.
Brock has been known for his large frame and strong wrestling skills in the ring, but he has also been known for his extremely violent nature when it comes to competition. In one instance where he lost his title to Randy Orton at Wrestlemania XXVII, he injured several wrestlers on their way back from ringside after losing the match—including Triple H!
