25 Most Important WWE Stars Of The 21st Century So Far

When compiling a list of the greatest stars of a particular era in professional wrestling, it is important to remember that the term 'greatest' can be applied in a number of terms - as can whether or not a wrestler can be regarded as important. For instance, the star in question could simply be a huge fan favourite who has been loved by wrestling fans for years and years, but has never achieved the success they really could have. There are plenty of examples of that, it has to be said. Or it could be a guy who is important to the WWE on a financial, corporate sense. Naturally, there are some guys who make the WWE much more money than others, and the merchandise sales they produce could make them hugely important to the legacy and future of the company. However, it could be a wrestler who has become important due to his impact on the WWE. Some wrestlers will forever be remembered for changing the path of wrestling in a way that very few people do, and their legacy makes them certainties when compiling a list of important wrestlers. There are plenty of candidates to choose from, but the WWE have certainly produced plenty of important stars so far in the 21st century.
