Anyways, this is probably more accurate

HBK/Bret Hart - I wanna put these two in one spot because they basically inspired all the smaller wrestlers and broke the land of the giants mold. A lot of wrestlers today would cite these two as their role models whether y'all like it or not.

Flair - Even though he was inspired by Gorgeous George, he was more recognized and the flamboyant style etc became synonymous with Flair.

The Rock - Catchphrases, being the "cool" heel, etc

Austin - Being the "bad ass" etc

Foley - This dude got 10000s of people doing spots off heights into tables and shyt
