Austin: Austin VS McMahon, 1998 - that made him a star

The Rock: 2001 - he finally began to become recognised not just as a wrestling star, but also as some1 with movie star potential

Hulk Hogan: hmmm...probably about 1987, but also 1997 too, or whenever the height of NWO was at.

Kurt Angle: 2000 - he did it all! i could almost be inclined to say 1999 too, because that was when he was on his win streak.

Shawn Michaels: 1995 - I think that was the 60 minute iron man match...shawn was the man @ that time.

Triple H: 2000 - could almost say late 90's when he was running with DX, but around 2000, that was when he was the gaaaaaaammmmmmmmah.

Chris Jericho: 2001 - he won the title and had an important part to play in the inVasion angle.

Chris Benoit: I'm hoping benoit hasn't even hit his peak (altho it sees like he has :( ) anywayz, i'll say 2004

Eddie Guerrero: 2004, but similar sentiments as Chris Benoit.

The Undertaker: thats a tough 1. 1991 was when he won the title, and he was great then. But then in 1997 he was one of the main players in the WWE. One of those two years i'd say

Kane: his debut year...1997?
