Tamagotchi, Beanie Babies, PS1, N64, the rise of grunge, Britney Spears and 'Stone Cold' sinking beers and dishing out Stunners. Yes, the 1990s were awesome, and it's a fond occasion for any 30-something to look back on their childhood memories.

That's what this article is all about, and there's even a little twist to some of the entries.

You see, not every single wrestler included here was a WWE, WCW or ECW star in the 90s. Some were yet to enter the business at all, but they still couldn't resist the cameras. In this gallery, you'll see a cast as varied as The Undertaker, Trish Stratus, Ric Flair and Batista.

Every single 'then' photograph used is from 1990-1999 (most fall somewhere in the 1995-1999 period), and every single 'now' one is from either their latest on screen appearance or social media where applicable. It's a bit of a journey back in time to a land of dodgy haircuts, throwback fashion sense and, in the case of one name, copious amounts of baby oil and testosterone.

Bring on the 90s, a time when everybody felt unique...
