Best 3 wrestling all-time stars? After wasting time in WCW, Austin went to WWE where he was given a new lease on life. His “Stone Cold” character unleashed a can of whoop-ass on the American community and skyrocketed the WWE into a billion-dollar business. During his popular run, Austin’s t-shirts outsold other wrestling products 4-to-1. He was also a bonafide rating bonanza, helping WWE Raw take over the lead from rival WCW Nitro. Truly a champion, he deserves the No.2 spot Greatest Wrestlers on our list.
Nyla Rose hails from the Oneida Nation, and as the Native Beast, she is a force to be reckoned with. Although she is no longer the women’s champion, she is arguably one of the strongest heels in AEW. Fans can expect that she will only become more fearsome with Vickie Guerrero as her manager. When Nyla Rose isn’t terrorizing her co-workers in (and out) of the ring, she has a witty sense of humor that fans can catch on social media. Recently she posted a “topless” picture on Twitter, with the top half of the picture blacked out. And when the social media universe hated on Ariana Grande’s new tattoo, Rose came to her defense, showing off her own General Tso’s chicken tattoo.
Wrestling occurred in several styles throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. The first recorded English match was held in London early in the 13th century. In England and Brittany a form of jacket wrestling commonly called Cornwall and Devon (see Cornish wrestling) survives from at least the 4th or 5th century. Wrestling as a martial skill was taught to the knights of the Holy Roman Empire, and wrestling instruction books appeared in manuscript before the introduction of printing and thereafter in print. Mongolian loose wrestling, introduced to India after the Mughal conquest of 1526, has survived in both India and Pakistan. As the modern era began, the English kings Henry VIII and Charles II and the French king Francis I were notable patrons of wrestling.
It’s tough to keep winning streaks alive in today’s WWE. Except for Asuka’s incredible 914-day undefeated streak and Undertaker’s legendary streak at WrestleMania, there haven’t been too many impressive undefeated streaks to talk about in WWE, recently. Therefore, it’s impressive that Adam Cole did not take a pin in WWE for over a year. Before Keith Lee ended his run as NXT Champion, Adam Cole hadn’t lost a singles match via pinfall since winning the title at NXT Takeover XXV. Cole only suffered two DQ losses in his run as champion. Similar to Cole’s run, Becky Lynch, who wrestled her last match at WrestleMania 36, hadn’t had a loss via pinfall since losing to Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money In The Bank in May, 2019. After losing to Flair, Lynch only suffered one loss in singles matches (via disqualification). The DQ loss came against Sasha Banks at Clash of Champions 2019. Discover additional info on WWE News.
