Top 50 WrestleMania All Stars

In looking at the big picture of WrestleMania, we decided to turn our attention to the people themselves -- anyone who had an on-screen contribution that helped to make WrestleMania the sports entertainment juggernaut it is today.

 

At first, we considered something that was purely done on a win-loss record standpoint, but there are many flaws for being that scientific about it. Could you argue, for example that Rob Van Dam's 4-0 WrestleMania record is better than The Undertaker's 24-2 because RVD has technically suffered fewer losses? Probably not.

 

Plus, a lot of the important people involved with Mania aren't just the wrestlers. There are the managers, the announcers and many other non-wrestlers that were just as important to the event as the in-ring competitors.

 

In ranking the Top 50 WrestleMania All Stars, Wrestling Merchandise and Memories looked at the following criteria:

  • How closely is this person associated with the term WrestleMania?

  • How many big WrestleMania matches (e.g. main event or equivalent) have they been involved with, either as a wrestler or non-wrestler?

Gorilla Monsoon

Think of some of the most epic calls in WrestleMania history, including "The irresistable force meets the immovable object" and "The Hulkster has taken one giant step towards immortality" and chances are WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon was behind them, with roles at the first nine WrestleManias.

44.

34.

Demolition

For a tag team, Demolition members Ax and Smash had a tremendous amount of success, winning three straight WrestleMania matches (Strike Force, The Powers of Pain & Mr. Fuji and The Colossal Connection).
