According to industry journalist Dave Meltzer, Benoit was “one of the top 10, if not the top 5, all-time greats” and “one of the best players in the world.” Benoit has won 22 championship titles, including numerous World Championships, and has appeared as the main attraction at various WWE pay-per-view events.

Hulk Hogan is a legend, but he also wore a mask before WrestleMania XIX, which was held in New Orleans. At the time, he went by the ring name Mr. America. However, he found that he was more popular when he did not wear a mask, so he decided to remove it. He is largely regarded as the most well-known wrestler in the world, and he is unquestionably the most popular wrestler of the 1980s. In 2005 and 2020, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, the second time being in 2005. Even though he was still wrestling, he had already begun his long and illustrious acting career. Aside from his acting roles in films and television shows, he has also acted in advertisements and a video game. He also dabbled in music, fronting a group known as The Wrestling Boot Band during his time in the ring.
