#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin
As "Stunning" Steve Austin, Stone Cold enjoyed a successful run in WCW for years on end. He was fired by Eric Bischoff in 1995, as the latter didn't see him as a marketable wrestler. After a short stint in ECW, Austin made his way to WWE and joined Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation.

Initially, he was given the gimmick of "The Ringmaster". Soon, he realized that the character wasn't doing much for him, and the Ringmaster gimmick was replaced with that of Stone Cold.
Austin cut a promo on Jake Roberts after defeating him in the finals of the King of the Ring 1996 tournament, and uttered the iconic words, "Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your a**."
This moment led to Austin becoming one of the biggest Superstars of all time over the next few years. He headlined three WrestleMania main events against the likes of The Rock and Shawn Michaels and was a big reason why Vince McMahon managed to defeat WCW in the Monday Night Wars.
