We have the high-flying Rey Mysterio, someone you should never look down on. What he lacks in terms of height and size, he make up with his quickness and agility, lucha libre style. Starting off in ECW and later in WCW, Rey is a former World HeavyweightChampion, the 21st Triple Crown winner, as well as the 2006 Royal Rumble winner. In spite of coming close to having his face exposed in recent times, we already know what he looks like since his days in WCW back in 2000.

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels isn't called Mr WrestleMania for nothing. He competed in the first Ladder Match, the first Iron Man match, the first Hell In A Cell match, and the first Elimination Chamber match. He is the 4th Triple Crown winner, the first ever Grand Slam winner, and he was the first person to win 2 consecutive Royal Rumbles.

Behold the King of Kings!! I mean let's face it, Triple H is the only person to be King of The Ring (1997) as well as Royal Rmble winner (2002), that's why the critics say that he's that damn good.

Not to forget that the Cerebral Assassin is co-founder of 2 powerful factions, Evolution and D-Generation X. Did we forget to mention that he's the son-in-law of Vince McMahon?

The Undertaker is perhaps the most dominant force iever to walk the face of the WWE universe. He has been leaving a path of destruction since his debut in late 1990, taking out WWE all-time greats like Jimmy Snuka, King Kong Bundy, Yokozuna, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock and most recently, Shawn Michaels. His arsenal of flying clotheslines, chokeslams, Tombstones and the dreaded Hell's Gate have made him a 7-time World Champion as well as the 2007 Royal Rumble winner.(the first of 2 men to win the Rumble at number 30, the other being John Cena). And he stands at an impressive 17-0 for his undefeated streak at WrestleMania. And er yes, he was the leader of the dreaded Ministry of Darkness from 1998 to 1999...
