This list includes some of the biggest names in movie history, and each actor or actress listed here is fully capable of kicking butt and taking names in any movie they&#39;re in. Action stars are a special breed. They combine great acting ability with physicality that brings an action film to life.

Also, feel free to add any great <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-new-class-of-action-stars/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">action movie stars</a> who are missing from the list.

What makes an action star the best? It&#39;s someone who commands the screen with feats of strength and prowess - not to mention the uncanny ability to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/times-action-heroes-shouldnt-have-survived/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">miraculously survive</a> even in the face of impossible odds. Many people listed here are top action movie stars who starred in some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-action-movies" target="_blank">greatest action movies of all time</a>. Some are newcomers, having landed major roles in recent films, including the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-action-movies-of-2012" target="_blank">best action movies of 2012</a>, for example.

Not all of the all-time greatest action stars are men, no no. Some of the sexiest women in action movies are included here. Among them: Sigourney Weaver, aka Ripley in Alien. She definitely qualifies. Angelina Jolie and Milla Jovovich are other good examples.

Enjoy voting for the best action stars, and remember: You can, and should, add any famous Hollywood action actors who deserve a spot but aren&#39;t already listed here!

And also a list of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-wwe-superstars-of-all-time/ranker-wrestling?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best WWE Superstars</a> of the 2000s.The Attitude Era survived into the new century but times they were a changin'. Wrestlers that used to be mid-carding back in the 90s were stepping up their games and fighting their way into the main event, like Edge. 90s megastars were starting to gracefully fade themselves out, like <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-stone-cold-steve-austin/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Stone Cold Steve</a> Austin. And in 2005 a new superstar named John Cena (?) burst onto the scene and changed wrestling, changed the WWE forever (like it or not... I assume we're all about 50/50 on this).The 2000s was a great era for the WWE, though for some reason it is undervalued. Probably because hindsight is 20/20 (clears throat: we didn't know John Cena was going to become John Cena). Somewhere in there was the era of &quot;Ruthless Aggression.&quot; Come on! That was awesome! Don't think so? Why don't you check out Mick Foley vs. Edge at Wrestlemania 22.Anyway, who do you think is the top WWE Superstar of the 00s? Vote for your favorite and rocket them up to the top! Get your spinner belts out and vote!

In pro wrestling, the highest honor a wrestler can achieve is becoming the champion of their respective promotion. Becoming the champion has a lot of responsibility, like being the face of the organization and being the number one main eventer at a particular time. This is the guy at a particular moment who you want to lead the charge. The champ can be a face or a heel, as long as they generate enough attention towards the title and keeps the fans wanting more. While there have been many champions in many different promotions, the people listed on here are the greatest wrestling champions. This includes wrestlers from different promotions and even some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah">greatest wrestlers of all time</a>.So who are the best pro wrestling champs of all time? Any list has to start with one of the most influential wrestlers of all time: Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster has been the heavyweight champion too many times to count in various different promotions like the WWE (obviously) and WCW. The same goes for wrestling legend Ric Flair. You'll also see icons like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, The Rock, and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-stone-cold-steve-austin/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Stone Cold Steve</a> Austin on this list of the best wrestling champs of all time.&nbsp;This is the list of the best pro wrestling champions of all time.

Who are the most overrated wrestlers of all time? Obviously any list that includes words like "overrated" and "wrestling" of any kind will spark some disagreement, but that's cool. Vote for the wrestlers that you think get way too much credit for their abilities (or lack thereof). You can also rerank this list any way you want, putting specific wrestlers you think aren't really that talented at the top, and leaving off people you think are really that good. Some WWE wrestlers are genuinely great, but others are too heavy on the gimmick and too light on the actual ability. Wrestling is a sport, and it does require a certain amount of skill and prowess in the ring, after all. Some wrestlers have that perfect, rare combination of showmanship and talent that makes them among the <a href="/list/greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time/sportsyeah" target="_blank">greatest pro wrestlers of all time</a>. They are among the <a href="/list/toughest-professional-fighters-in-history/the-round-mound" target="_blank">toughest pro fighters ever</a>, and they take no prisoners. That's not what this list is about, no no. This is specifically a place where wrestling fans can choose the wrestlers that they believe are all flash and no substance. Think John Cena is a phony? Vote him up! Disagree? Vote him down. It's as simple as that. The same goes for some of the other big names listed here, from Jeff Hardy to Warrior to Bret Hart. Enjoy!
