"Brooooock Leeesnar." Billed as the The Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar came into the WWE and left a path of destruction along the way. Lesnar made his WWE debut in 2002 with manager Paul Heyman. After squashing jobbers, Brock was instantly thrown into the main event picture. He had some incredibly memorable feuds with Kurt Angle, Triple H, The Rock and even a stint with Goldberg at Wrestlemania 20. Lesnar wasn't the greatest talker but man could he kick some serious ass in the ring. In 2002 Lesnar won the King of the Ring and followed that up by beating The Rock for the WWE Undisputed Championship at Summerslam. His career went by in the blink of an eye, as in 2004 he parted ways with the WWE in his pursuit to make it in the NFL. Needless to say it didn't exact pan out and now The Next Big Thing can be seen back in the WWE destroying Triple H and feuding with CM Punk. This should be good.

14. Hulk Hogan
Hogan rejoined the WWE in 2002 with Hall and Nash in hopes of reforming the NWO. It didn't turn out as planned but it did lead to one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time which saw Hogan against The Rock. The crowd was on absolute fire that night, going back and forth on who to root for. Eventually The Rock came out victorious forcing Hall and Nash to turn their backs on their leader turning Hogan into a babyface again. Hogan later on in the year went on to defeat Triple H at the Backlash PPV claiming the Undisputed Championship for the last time. He eventually lost it to the Undertaker but found gold once again as Edge's tag team partner winning the titles on Smackdown. These days Hogan can be seen as "The General Manager" of TNA doing whatever he can to regain the spotlight and ruin yet another company. Stats: 1 time WWE Undisputed Champion 1 time WWE Tag Team Champion WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2005
13. Eddie Guerrero
Latino Heat was as good of an entertainer as they come. Eddie made a name for himself with his superb in ring skills and his ability to cut a hilarious promo. Often seen as the underdog, Eddie eventually captured the ultimate prize in 2005 by defeating Brock Lesnar at The No Way Out PPV. Seen as a massive upset, Guerrero carried the title with class and dignity. He carried the belt for several months after be hoaxed out of it by then GM Kurt Angle. Eddie had some great feuds with JBL, Kurt Angle, Triple H and Rey Mysterio in the mid 2000's but he'll always be remembered for his fun loving, good natured personality as well as his incredible in ring ability. Eddie Guerrero's passing in 2005 was incredibly sad but he left a legacy that will live on forever, making him one of the greatest superstars of the 21st century.

12. Edge
The Rated R Superstar is one of the coolest wrestlers of the 21st century. Whether he was a heel or a face, Edge could always put a smile on your face. Breaking out in 2001 with Christian, they became innovators of what are now known as TLC matches. After there tag team run, Edge broke out into super stardom. The face of Smackdown for years, The Ultimate Opportunist capitalized on every opportunity he could. During his peak as a singles star, Edge had some incredible feuds with Kurt Angle, Test, Kane, Matt Hardy, John Cena and The Undertaker. Wrestlers dream about having a career like Edge's but unfortunately, The Rated R Superstar had to abruptly retired on Raw in 2011. His speech was heart felt and chilling. Not only was Edge one of the greatest superstars of the 21st century but he was one of the best people too. You'll be missed Adam Copeland, thanks for everything.

11. Chris Jericho
Y2J has been GREAT for as long as I can remember. He'll be the first one to remind you that he was the first Undisputed WWE Champion in the companies history defeating both The Rock and Stone Cold in the same night. At the time did I think he was deserving? No, but boy has he proven me wrong. Feuding with greats like RVD, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold, Chris Jericho more then held his own. Cutting one of the best promos in the business, Jericho continues to entertain us all every time he steps into the ring. The Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla has left and come back to the WWE more times then I can count but every time he makes an appearance he definitely makes it count. Currently coming off an incredible match against CM Punk, there isn't anybody in the business that Jericho can't put over and make look good. He's stood the test of time and deserves ever accolade that he receives.
