One of the most well-loved superstars of the 21st Century, Kofi Kingston is a workhorse capable of shining in any situation. Part of one of the greatest factions of all time, The New Day, and with one of the very few genuine WrestleMania moments in the last decade of Vince McMahon’s creative control, who doesn’t have love for Kofi Kington? A Grand Slam champion and, tragically, the only wrestler of black origin on this list.

Over a whopping 22 years, Paul ‘The Big Show’ Wight wrote himself into the history books with an incredible 1,228 wins. One of the underrated key acquisitions in WWE winning the Monday Night Wars from their rivals in WCW, The Big Show was always one of the most reliable performers across singles and tag competitions, enjoying numerous title reigns and legendary tag-teams with Kane, The Undertaker, The Miz and Chris Jericho.

Despite his size, The Big Show is only the joint-fifth tallest wrestler to ever compete in WWE.

The Show Stopper and a genuine icon of WWE. One of the leading WWE superstars who stayed loyal to WWE in the face of WCW contract offers in the mid-90s, Shawn Michaels’ illustrious career is one of romantic redemption. Earning the nickname Mr WrestleMania through his legendary performances at The Show Of Shows, and being pretty much unanimously great across each of his many in-ring eras, Shawn Michaels is one of the most influential superstars to ever do it.

Better still is getting to enjoy his current job, shaping the future of WWE, as the creative mastermind behind the NXT brand.

He hears voices in his head, they come to him and he wins the match. The third-generation superstar has wrestling in his blood, and his popularity endures to this day due to his incredible ring-work and continued relevancy. Still providing intrigue within his long-standing rivalries and excitement for future ones with new blood, that isn’t something that’s changing anytime soon.

Hard to imagine that the man who entered the WWE as sinister dentist Isaac Yankem would be on this list, but that’s what happened when Glenn Jacobs’s Kane was released into the wild. In ownership of one of the greatest debuts in the history of pro wrestling, The Big Red Machine’s storytelling with the likes of X-Pac and John Cena, his comedic work as part of Team Hell No with Daniel Bryan and his career-defining arcs with The Undertaker are the stuff of legend.

A man at least in the conversation to be the single most talented in-ring performer ever to lace up a pair of boots, Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart has a legacy that seems to still be growing by the year. Current superstars like Seth Rollins and CM Punk have raved over his years of elite ring psychology, technical innovation, and unquestionable credibility. Pick any match at random and it’s easy to see why.

The man from Death Valley may have amassed over 1,750 victories over the years but the most significant of them are the 25 wins that took place at WrestleMania. The Streak was one of wrestling’s greatest achievements as The Phenom went 21-0 before losing to Brock Lesnar in one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history at WrestleMania 30. Even after The Streak was broken, the man born as Mark Calloway would put on a classic with one of the most unique WrestleMania Main Events ever with AJ Styles.

Could it really be anybody else? The longest run by any superstar at the top of the WWE mountain, and built with a work rate that could flatten a field full of triathlon athletes, John Cena’s decade-plus period of being the face of the company is backed up by the most number of wins in WWE history. Big Match John has spent much of his career being a winning machine, his popularity and likability being matched by his ability to raise the stature of any opponent.
