10 Classic WWE Era Superstars That Would Still Get Over Today

10. Ricky Steamboat

Any fan of WWE's current product should still be able to appreciate a guy so consistently dynamic and crisp inside the ring. In fact, his epic encounter with Randy Savage at WrestleMania III remains one of the greatest of all time, and is one of the rare matches that modern audiences can watch all the way through without wanting to mock every aspect of it.

Pick a mid-card guy out of a hat, put him in the ring with Steamboat, and you're going to have a better-than-average match. That's just how it works, and it would still be the case today with "The Dragon" in his prime. 

And even though Steamboat was far from the most charismatic guy on the mic, there's no replacing that kind of elite work rate in the ring. Besides, it's not as if the current crop of superstars are cutting the greatest promos of all time. 

If Roman Reigns can get over that big, there's no reason Steamboat couldn't at least make it as the crème de la crème of the mid-card.
