Never understood how anyone can like Sid. I liked him briefly when he debuted in the Skyscrapers...that was it. He was awful.

It's conflicting seeing Bret trash talk Goldberg when he was my favorite powerhouse wrestler of all time.
These 5 wrestlers are why the company was thriving at the time.

Your top 5 is your top 5 so I'm not mad at any of your choices but Cena wasn't as big as Hogan.
Hogan was massive, everyone in the world knew Hulk Hogan for the most part whether you knew wrestling or not, he was in Rocky 3 and he was a megastar, like there's people who didn't know wrestling but knew Hogan, Hogan was THE star at 1 point to the point where he transcended the sport, he was the key man associated with wrestling at 1 point more than anybody.
I know older people who have no idea who John Cena is but everyone knows Hulk Hogan. Cena's era was getting a lot less viewers so it's not the same, Hogan was major. There's not 1 Cena match that was bigger than Hogan vs Andre The Giant or for that matter The Rock vs Hogan.
Hogan changed the industry, twice, with Hulkamnia and then with the N.W.O shyt, he gave WCW the star power and credibility.
I don't know your age but Hulk Hogan was a phenomon, he was gigantic, overall he might be the biggest wrestler ever, doesn't mean he's a good person but he may well be the biggest wrestler ever, The Rock and Austin had huge peaks but Hogan did shyt over a long ass time and he changed the whole game. Austin had a relatively short run on top. Rock being a movie star made him very big. Hogan though was so huge, he was the 1 wrestler everyone knew at 1 point.

i been away to long, my feeling died.
Rock and Austin was so huge they turned the WWF into a billion dollar company and pretty much ended the nwo.

Weird that I'm such a lover of technical work but my top... 6, effectively, are all because of character work. I think it's because the gap between workers can be a huge on a sunday and nonexistent on a monday but character work is character work, and... well. Bryan and Zayn are two of the best babyfaces of the last twenty years easily - that NXT 2-out-of-3 with Cesaro was top-5 WWE match all-time, fight me - but also something key in my list are people able to be their character, but alter their alignment without inherently changing themselves. All good to be a perma-heel like Ziggler or Orton or be a guy who can only be a face without needing to only ever be a chickenshyt heel like Gargano, etc. Duality is needed in a great. If you can't be a top-level talent on either side of the fence, you aren't complete and can't be a GOAT.
Secondary honorable mention to PAC/Neville, simply because he's one of the few dudes who changes up his moveset when he's a heel and literally went out of his way to deprive fans of the high-flying shyt he was top-3 in the world at, just because it was a logical heel thing to do. In a world of everyone wanting to get their shyt in, dude sitting atop 205 Live and pretty much refusing to do the move that got him over unless it was a dire moment in storyline was old school psychology. Plus, dude is actually legit really nice and unassuming when he's in his glasses and sweaters and not brooding in his gear looking like Smeagol on HGH
