These are my opinions.... feel free to add your own. Keep in mind, these are from the "WrestleMania" era.


Entrance: The Undertaker
His WrestleMania VII entrance is awesome. No fire balls, no flashing lights, the arena is still lit up.... but he scares the crowd to death.

Character Build-up (Push): Goldberg's Streak
This was awesome...... 173-0.

Ring Accessory: Jake "The Snake" Roberts' snakes.
The pythons and his King Cobra's made the character so creepy and villainous.

Entrance Music: Stone Cold Steve Austin
The glass breaking beginning of his song has had some of the loudest 'Pops' in pro wrestling history.

Crowd Chant: Daniel Bryan's "YES!!!"
Before Daniel Bryan, I would say Stone Cold's "What?" would have this title as well... but Daniel Bryan's "YES!!!" wins this one hands down.

Interview/Promo tagline: The Rock
"If you Smell what The Rock is Cooking!?!?"

Taunt: Ric Flair's "WOOOO!!!!"
No question about this one.

Signature Move: Randy Savage's Flying Elbow
Every kid and adult who has ever saw a Randy Savage match has attempted his Flying Elbow at some point in their life.

Ring Gear: The Ultimate Warrior
The bright colors, the face paint, the strands of material hanging from arms and boots..... this one is a no-brainer as well.

Manager: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
He "Put Over" more Heels than anybody.

Babyface: Late 1980's/Early 1990's Hulk Hogan
The Hulkster was professional wrestling for about 7-8 years.

Heel: Hollywood Hogan
Probably the most hated pro wrestling character of the last 20 years.

Crowd Draw: Andre the Giant
Face or Heel... singles or tag match, battle royal or gimmick match. Andre the Giant was a bigger draw than the actual wrestling show.

Championship Win: Sting's win at Starrcade 1997.
Sting spent over a year in the rafters developing the "Crow" character. His win over Hollywood Hogan was awesome.

Championship Run: The Honky Tonk Man's IC title run.
For 454 days, the more he won, the more 'heat' he got. His 31 second squash loss to the Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam 1988 put the Warrior like crazy.
It's all open to interpretation and all of your picks are definitely good contenders...

EXCEPT!!!!!
Sting's win over Hollywood after the year+ buildup may have been the biggest letdown in all of wrestling lol
