The Greatest Wrestlers, Ranked

Combat Sports

The greatest pro wrestlers of all-time include WrestleMania winners, WWF and WWE champions, and TNA favorites. The entertainment of professional wrestling may be staged but all of these professional wrestlers are easily some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/toughest-professional-fighters-in-history/the-round-mound">toughest professional fighters</a> inside of the ring or out. This list of all pro wrestlers can be ordered according to their popularity. Just vote for your favorites.

Combining Greco-Roman wrestling with boxing, freestyle wrestling and theater, professional wrestling dates back nearly a century. At first, professional wrestling was more about the actual competition rather than the script. In the past, it was Lou Thesz who was the most-feared wrestler around. Thesz, who had no trouble going off-script to win a match and keep his title, is considered the first true wrestling superstar, an innovator of the business, and the original pro wrestler.&nbsp;

So who is the greatest pro wrestler ever? How about the best WWE wrestlers? This list will answer these&nbsp;questions&mdash;and your vote matters. From old school legendary wrestlers to famous wrestlers right now, this list of the biggest pro wrestlers includes former superstars, cool characters, and stars of current circuits.&nbsp;

Thesz continued to dominate until the next era of wrestlers entered in the 1950s and 1960s. Top contenders like Bruno Sammartino and Buddy Rogers helped the sport of professional wrestling grow with their flashy and flamboyant performance styles as well as more often than not came out on top of their matches.

Moving into the &#39;70s, 1980s, and 1990s, wrestling evolved into a performance. The uniforms the wrestlers wore became flashier and the scripted aspects began to increase, as did the fan following. Some of the best wrestlers of all time came from that golden era such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair, and Bret Hart. With business booming, professional wrestling only continued to grow in recent years with big names like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock using their WWE fame to launch their careers. Many of these big names are considered to be classic legends&nbsp;in the wrestling world.&nbsp;

Professional wrestling may not be for everyone but with a long history of success and a wildly popular following, the likes of WWE and TNA are not going away anytime soon. Any one of the current wrestlers competing today could become the next greatest professional wrestler of all time but until then, we can only enjoy watching them compete to become that.

This is a list of the best WWE King of the Ring champions, or winners, or kings. The WWE King of the Ring Tournament was one of the most exciting tournaments in all of sports entertainment. In fact, it was essentially the only tournament that you would be able to look forward to every year besides the weird number one contender tournaments that seem to happen at random every few months.&nbsp;The interesting thing about the King of the Ring (that rhymed, handle it) and more specifically being crowned &quot;King of the Ring&quot; is that it really never meant anything. You aren't the champion. You aren't the number one contender. You're just, like, The King. Which is weird, but fun! Especially when winners would use it as a part of their character like Macho Man Randy Savage rebranding himself &quot;Macho King.&quot; Or Booker T, and King Mabel constantly being paraded around on the King of the Ring throne.In the end the King of the Ring was a whole lot of sound and fury signifying absolutely nothing. But that's what wrestling is anyway. sort of. BUT IT'S THE BEST SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Vote for who you think the greatest King of the Ring Champion of all time is. Who's at the top of your list?!
