I watched all of his matches, and I considered him to be one of the coolest people I had ever seen.
Óscar Gutiérrez, better known by the ring name Rey Mysterio, is a Mexican-American professional wrestler who currently works for WWE on the Smackdown brand. First wrestler I met in person. A fantastic person in and out of the ring.
Michael Francis "Mick" Foley Sr. is an American retired professional wrestler, writer, color commentator, actor and voice actor. Shout-outs to one of the most unlikely wrestlers to be as good as he is. He never let his lack of physicality or strength hold him back. Arguably the best character actor in WWE.
Eduardo Gory "Eddie" Guerrero Llanes, was a Mexican-American professional wrestler and a member of the Guerrero wrestling family. A man who I couldn't help but smile at every time he was on screen.
Kurt Steven Angle is an American professional wrestler, actor and former amateur wrestler currently signed to professional wrestling promotion WWE, where he was the on-screen general manager of the Raw brand and an occasional wrestler. Pound for pound, probably the best technical wrestler in WWE history. Also fantastic on a mic.
Randy Mario Poffo, better known by his ring name "Macho Man" Randy Savage, was an American professional wrestler and color commentator best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation and later the World Championship Wrestling. One of, if not, the greatest mic performer in the history of the WWE.
Shinsuke Nakamura is a Japanese professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist currently signed to WWE competing on Smackdown Live. Nakamura is known for his work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former three-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. His other accomplishments within the company include winning the 2011 G1 Climax and the 2014 New Japan Cup, being a record five-time and the longest reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion. Arguably the greatest entrance in WWE history, Nakamura is a man who's star can shine incredibly high in the WWE, if given the proper booking.
Booker Huffman Jr., better known by his ring name Booker T, is an American professional wrestler, promoter, and color commentator who is currently signed with WWE as part of the pre-show team on Raw. Constantly entertaining and criminally underrated in the WWE, Booker was a master class at drawing reactions from crowds.
Shawn Michaels was born on July 22, 1965 . He is an American professional wrestler. He is the first wrestler to win all the titles the WWE could have offered. He is known for his moves and looks. His nickname provided by WWE is HBK (Heart Break Kid). He was in DX (Degeneration X) a tag team with Triple H, and was the only nWo to not be in WCW. He is known by many names such as: The Showstopper, The Best of the Best, Mr. Wrestlemania, Mr. Hall of Fame, Sexy Boy, The Icon, The Headliner and The Main Event. A man who managed to have a career that spanned over 20 years, Michaels was someone who I consider to have been much better in his later career than his early career.
Known by his ring name "The Hurricane," Shane Helms is an American professional wrestler. He gained fame in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for his superhero gimmick and has held multiple titles including the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. An odd selection, sure, but I could not help but love the charisma put into the character.
