Qualifying Credentials: 2x WWWF Champion, WWE Hall Of Fame (2013)

Considered by many to be the greatest WWE Champion of all time (The WWWF would eventually morph into WWE, so Bruno is recognized as a former WWE Champion). Holds the longest single reign at nearly eight straight years, and the longest combined reign at 4,040 days. Was one of the highest paid men in all of sports during his run in the 70s.



Qualifying Credentials: 3x IWGP World Champion

One of the top stars in NXT had a very successful career in New Japan. Credits Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury as inspirations. Defeated Kurt Angle for the IWGP "Third Belt", which had been used by Antonio Inoki's IGF. Rivalry with Hiroshi Tanahashi has seen them on teaming and opposing sides. Dubbed "The King Of Strong Style", and known for his "Boma Ye/Kinshasa" Knee Strikes. Holds a 3-1 record in MMA.
