Really, who else could top a list such as this? After all, none of these other stars were ever able to not only claim the top prize in the World Wrestling Federation, but do so by defeating the likes of Bret "The Hitman" Hart and "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan (albeit through illegitimate means) in 1993, effectively ending Hulkamania in the WWF for nine years. He would successfully defend the title against Lex Luger and The Undertaker (in a Casket Match) before ultimately dropping the title back to Hart. That would not be the only accolade the in-character champion sumo wrestler would acquire, however. With the late, great "King of Harts" Owen Hart as his tag team partner, the duo would have two reigns with the WWF Tag Team Championship. On top of that, he won the 1993 Royal Rumble (which is what led to his initial title match against Hart), and was posthumously entered into the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame by his cousins, The Usos and Rikishi. All those who enter WWE flying the banner of another sport have a high bar to aspire towards, thanks to Yokozuna's achievements. Of the 11 two-sport themed Superstars we've seen enter the squared circle of World Wrestling Entertainment, which one is your favorite? And did we miss one? Tell us in the comments below!
