He is signed with WWE, working in their Legends program.

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.

The following is a list of the best Black wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling (or &quot;sports entertainment&quot; for those of you too young to remember anything that took place before John Cena). Through the years the WWF, WCW, and now WWE has seen many Black athletes leave an indelible mark on the wrestling industry. Superstars that have paved the way like the &quot;Big Cat&quot; Ernie Ladd, Divas that pushed the pace and raised the bar like Jacqueline, and once in a lifetime trailblazers like The Rock.

Whether they&#39;re most well known for their singles career or their tag-team career up in the &quot;big leagues&quot;, namely WWE/WWF or WCW, the only requirement for this list of topflight African-American wrestlers is that they were great. That they told tremendous stories in the ring. That wrestling (sports entertainment) wouldn&#39;t be the same without them.

When you think of the pantheon of iconic college football programs, the Florida State Seminoles. The school is widely known for dominating college football for a span beginning in the late 1980s through the early 2000s. Behind legendary coach Bobby Bowden, the Noles maintained a home in the top-5 of the polls. Despite falling off at the end of Bowden's reign, this era produced some of the greatest players in Florida State history. The school became a de-factor feeding factory for the NFL, with a slew of first round draft picks and a number of other players who became fixtures in the pros.The Seminoles have won three national championships, seventeen conference titles, and five division titles. The program has also produced three <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-heisman-trophy-winners-of-all-time/ranker-college-football?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Heisman Trophy winners</a>, and one NEON DEION.

The War between these two great wrestling promotions was intensified when many of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top wrestlers</a> from the WWE jumped ship and brought their <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-finishers-in-wrestling">best wrestling moves</a> over to WCW.
