14 WWE Wrestlers Who Defied Gravity Before Neville

10. Ricky Steamboat

Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat is widely considered as one of the greatest of all time. He inspired generations of Superstars with his near-perfect exhibitions of wrestling while he was almost always considered the baby-face to cheer for. Steamboat was extremely sound technically and he incorporated his martial arts background into his wrestling style, but his propensity to pull off high flying moves on top of that made for a unique blend. Steamboat was super-exciting to watch and barely had a bad match in his entire run as a wrestler. The Dragon came out victorious at WrestleMania III, winning an Intercontinental Championship encounter with 'Macho Man' Randy Savage in front of over 93,000 fans. To this day, that match is considered as perhaps the best match the event has ever seen.
