Pro Wrestling Guidebook 101: Top 425 Greatest Professional Wrestlers Of All Time by Paul Angel Perdomo

Updated: Oct 7



I would like to dedicate this little op-ed to all the pro wrestling fans at Passaic County Community College with a list of the best professional wrestlers of all time. In a crazy business like pro wrestling, it gave us a wide variety of characters; heroes, villains, box office draws, unsung yet often underrated characters. Even though it’s predetermined and obviously scripted, there’s nothing fake about the stunts these wrestlers performed for our amusement. This is the first guidebook for anyone who wants to learn more about the best wrestlers around the world. Note: Do not get upset if your favorite wrestler is not higher or on the list and this list is a mixture of past and future stars. If you have never heard of some of the wrestlers, do your research or go to YouTube. Also, some of the names may be controversial and polarizing, but there’s no denying what they contribute behind the scenes or inside the squared roots.
