It shouldn't surprise anyone that John Cena is #1 on their list. Also, where in the blue hell is The Rock? He and Austin should both be in the top 5 on that list (speaking of, Triple H at #2 ?!). Austin revolutionised wrestling in the late 90's and The Rock used the platform to become one of the most popular wrestlers of all time.

These WWE top 10 lists are ridiculous. :lol

The fact that Seth Rollins is on a list with these guys is fucking absurd. I'm beginning to believe that WWE's creative team genuinely believe they're doing a good job with booking this guy. :lol

The top 5 champions should be (in no particular order); Austin, The Rock, Hogan, Sammartino, and Ric Flair.

Is this some kind of bizarre attempt at a push for Rollins? Ridiculous. Obviously The Rock should be on there instead, and it's no surprise Hogan wasn't included. Whose place would he take if he was, though?

There's no sense in putting any thought into any of these polls.

They always try to throw in 1 or 2 current superstars among the legends to try & build them up even though they don't have nearly enough accomplishments yet to warrant it.

Btw, while Rock is one of the greatest superstars of all time, was he really a great champion? He never held the title longer than 4 months. Almost half of his reigns lasted a month or less if I recall.

Wow. Never realized that before. Crazy.

Regarding WWE's top 5, it's obviously always going to be Sammartino, Hulk, Austin, Cena, and a huge toss-up between guys like Rock, Hart, HBK and Taker. You can always make the argument Rock is a bigger star than them, and he is, but he had a relatively short career and the other three are much more revolutionary. It's like saying Sammartino shouldn't be on there because he was before Raw.

And this is further proof while the WWE will probably never improve... so political and petty that the obvious number 1 isn't even mentioned in Hogan. But then, what do you expect from a company that panic follows trends from the rest of the world and manages to look like complete idiots in the process and all while actually thinking their preferred guy is ever going to be number 1 , 2, 3 or even in the top 5 or 10 of most fans. Delusional. Or senile. Take your pick.

What? Vince couldn't be that bitter right? :Out

Everybody knows that omitting Hogan automanticly dq the poll to beging with, Punk is just iceing on top of that shit sunday og bitterness Vince enjoys eating off of Cena's ass cheeks since he'll never go even when he,s long over stayed.

Greatest WWE World Champion? Probably Hulk Hogan, if you count everything. His success and his huge impact puts him above everybody else.

In my own opinion, as far as just being entertaining, it's Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Flair is not even in the discussion. People mostly only talk about one match, the Royal Rumble in 1992. If we were talking outside the WWE, he is an easy choice for GOAT Champion.

They always put the current champion, not sure why. And Cena is the most overrated Champion/Superstar this company has ever hyped. The only top face to ever get booed everywhere, 15 reigns and still doesn't sniff the top 5 world champions in this company.

Now I expected Cena to be on that list, but Seth? Really... among all those stars over all those years, Seth Rolins...Maybe one day I feel he might be, but its way to early, he has had one title win, and its been very badly booked at best. then again these lists are very erratic... I swear its not the same persoan that does these lists every week :p
