Top 5 wrestling all-time stars

Top 3 WWE all-time stars? The vintage star of WWE, Rik Flair aka The “Nature Boy”, was one of the 80s most gifted wrestlers. He held the NWA/ WCW World Heavyweight Championship more than any other wrestler. Unfortunately, the lack of attention in NWA/WCW compared to WWF was disadvantageous to Flair. Flair will be known for his unbelievable set of marathon matches with Ricky Steamboat. He now holds his place in the No.9 spot among the best wrestlers of all time.

Although she currently reigns as the women’s champion, Hikaru Shida was an actress before becoming an in-ring wrestler. Shida is skilled in both kendo and judo, but she wasn’t exposed to the squared circle until she was cast in Three Count, a movie about two brothers making their way as a tag team on the independent wrestling circuit. To prepare for the movie, Shida was trained by Emi Sakura, who is now her fellow AEW co-worker and Riho’s life-long mentor. Since then, Shida has wrestled around the world with a show of force.

When the Islamic rulers of Persia began hiring Turkic mercenaries about 800 ce, the soldiers brought with them a style of loose wrestling called koresh, in which grips may be taken on the long, tight leather pants worn by the wrestlers and the bout ends with a touch fall of the loser briefly on his back. Gradually the Turks took over the entire Muslim dominion, and their wrestling style spread. Later Mongolian invasions in the 13th century introduced Mongolian wrestling, which received royal patronage, and wrestling became the national sport of modern Iran.

It’s tough to keep winning streaks alive in today’s WWE. Except for Asuka’s incredible 914-day undefeated streak and Undertaker’s legendary streak at WrestleMania, there haven’t been too many impressive undefeated streaks to talk about in WWE, recently. Therefore, it’s impressive that Adam Cole did not take a pin in WWE for over a year. Before Keith Lee ended his run as NXT Champion, Adam Cole hadn’t lost a singles match via pinfall since winning the title at NXT Takeover XXV. Cole only suffered two DQ losses in his run as champion. Similar to Cole’s run, Becky Lynch, who wrestled her last match at WrestleMania 36, hadn’t had a loss via pinfall since losing to Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money In The Bank in May, 2019. After losing to Flair, Lynch only suffered one loss in singles matches (via disqualification). The DQ loss came against Sasha Banks at Clash of Champions 2019. See even more info at WWE Stars news.

Finishing just above his long time best friend HBK, The Game cemented his status as one of WWEs top guys during the 2000s. His standing ovation following his return from career-threatening injury at MSG in 2002 remains one of the company’s biggest ever crowd reactions. During his decade of dominance as a multi-time world champion, Triple H was also the architect behind Evolution and the rebirth of DX.
