Everyone has their own opinion and reasoning behind where they rank their favorite superstars of all time. So I came up with a creative idea of how we could work out a definitive list. I've asked 10 superfans from various walks of life who've each become a fan in different eras to give me their list of favorite superstars that define their love for pro wrestling. I asked each to list no less than 10 and no more than 20. I also encouraged everyone to use wrestlers from any promotion. Each time a wrestler's name appeared, I gave them a point. Since not everyone gave me more than 10 names, I only gave points to the names in everyone's top ten. Based on who had the most votes and how high they were ranked, I came up with a definitive list that I will post later on with full profiles on each superstar. The results are in! Find out who everyone voted in their list after the jump!
What we took into consideration:
Ring Work
Gimmick
Influence
Sentimental Value
