Has anyone posted the WWE.com list of the 50 best WWE wrestlers of all time?

I'm waiting for them to come out and say it was a joke.

I think they put Hogan at like #24 or something like that? Not a Hogan fan by any means, but that was easily their biggest name in the 80's.

   5. The Rock

 Not a fan at all of Hogan's in-ring ability (or lack thereof), but unless in-ring ability is the only thing they're using to gauge this list, Hogan should be higher on the list.  At least in the top ten.  On the other hand, if they were talking about in-ring ability, Hogan probably shouldn't be on the list at all.

Ric Flair being #17 is kind of b.s. too, imo.

Lol @ Randy Orton being higher on the list than Kurt Angle too.  Ridiculous.

[O.G A.Geesta'z]

[MontrealCity's Most]

6. HBk
7. Bret HArt
8. HHH
9. Randy Savage
10. Mick Foley

Well we can all agree that that's a lot closer than WWE ever had it with their list.

There's a definite TNA bias when you look at the list too.

[MontrealCity's Most]

My list is simple based on accomplishments, popularity and what they did for the compagny in their respective eras.. my top3 cannot be debated . Undertaker, hart and Hbk were all the top guys during a tuff time while HHH, foley and savage also can be shuffled but those guys were the reason why Austin, rock were so good.

If it's based on in-ring then Undertaker at #2 would be the biggest joke ever. As far as a complete package of in ring work, draw power, impact on the company, I don't see how anyone can be placed above Steve Austin? He could work a great match, and carry lesser opponents if he had to, he generate more money than anyone, and he was the main guy responsible for turning the company around when they almost went under.

Flair beats Austin in a history of wrestling list, but as far as with regards to WWE and what they did for WWE it has to be Austin.

 That seems reasonable.  As far as name recognition, Austin and Hogan would be closely matched.  As far as in-ring ability, Austin is obviously way over Hogan in that category.  And that's not to say that Austin was an awesome, in-ring technician, but compared to Hogan, he would look like one.
