Choose 20 wrestlers
I got this idea from a hockey forum I visit where the thread starter asked the forum members to select 20 hockey players that you would put on the front cover of a book that is about hockey since 1990.
So, which 20 wrestlers would you put on the cover of a book that highlights professional wrestling since 1990? Here's my list off the top of my head. Most of the names on this list are just the most popular wrestlers since 1990, but I put Benoit and Owen Hart in there because of the headlines their deaths made. Steve Austin The Rock Hogan, Nash, and Hall in nWo gear Bret Hart Goldberg Shawn Michaels The Undertaker Triple H Mick Foley Sting Ric Flair John Cena Chris Benoit Owen Hart Kurt Angle Randy Orton Chris Jericho Rey Mysterio |

Yep. That's pretty much the list I think. lol
I don't think you're gonna get a ton of differing opinions on this one. Probably just a couple changes here and there. |

Dunno, we'd have to wait for DLVH's and Seth's lists.

Come to think of it, there are a few wrestlers from the 80's that need to go on it. I'd probably take out Benoit, Owen or Foley and put in Andre the Giant, and maybe a couple of British wrestlers from the World of Sport days, maybe Johnny Saint or someone. Some really oldies too, Gorgeous George or something like that.

I just made a list without looking at yours and the only difference I had was Kane instead of Randy Orton.....

Looks like a pretty comprehensive list to me. I might include RVD and Jarrett to showcase ECW and TNA, respectively, since both promotions seem left out. Not sure who should be bumped, though. Argument could be made for Eddie, as well.

Brilliant. I was gonna make a mock list made up of obscure foreigners but the real deal is even better. At least 2 guys that retired less than 4 years into the 22 year period to choose from.
Honestly, Steamboat over Austin/Hogan? |

lol DLVH84 does not disappoint.
Steamboat is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time and even I found that as a huge reach for attention. |

Good list. I'd have gone for Yokozuna to represent Japan though. Dude was a two-sport champion afterall.

Yeah it'd have to be danielson.
