Shawn Michaels is one of the most iconic men to ever step inside a WWE ring, and he more than played his part in some of the biggest storylines of the Attitude Era. Where do you start? From his crucial role in that legendary Mike Tyson moment at WrestleMania XIV, all the way through to his victory as part of the "Montreal Screwjob" against Bret Hart. He could be most famous for forming the most popular stable in wrestling history, though - D-Generation X. As part of the group alongside his close friend Triple H, the two broke the barriers when it came to drawing reactions from a crowd. They were hilarious, yet brilliant inside the ring at exactly the same time. His bold, brash character made him loved and revered all across the world by wrestling fans. Shawn Michaels is a worthy member of this illustrious list.
2. The Rock
Able to draw huge reactions as both a babyface and a heel, The Rock was arguably one of the most important men ever to step inside a ring during the Attitude Era. As a heel, he headed up The Corporation and became the corporate champ, much to the dislike of the crowds who attended live events around that time. However, The Rock seemed to thrive in those kinds of environments, and he was able to generate huge heat. However, as a babyface, he became one of the funniest WWE stars of all-time, and you were guaranteed enjoyment when The Rock was around during the Attitude Era. He had the gift of the gab, and that made for some outrageously good backstage segments, not least when he was constantly taunting Michael Cole to the amusement of millions. The Attitude Era was a remarkable time for professional wrestling - and it was summed up by people like The Rock.
